Highway hazards note: a long time. Meanwhile, a lot
The governor's traffic safe-l people will nave to die.
ty conference in Sacramento
enters" its second day this
morning with workshop dem
onstrations and speakers
pointing new ways for curb
ing death on the highways.
IMMENSELY interest
ing. But it poses problems. This
is the BIG problem: What can
we do to make our highways
safer?
That's the tragedy of it.
OEEKING an answer to that
question, let's turn to case
histories. Here is a case his
tory that has just clicked off
the wires:
A Bay Area (meaning the
San Francisco bay area) cou
ple and their relatives were
among six people killed early
today in a head - on collision
near Seneca, Kansas. Max
Henry and his wife and two
Mid - Western relatives were
riding in the California car
when the tragedy occurred.
All four were killed, as were
both of the occupants of the
other car, which was driven
by Urie Smirl, of Seneca.
The Kansas state patrol says
that Smirl's car was appar
ently on the WRONG SIDE
OF THE HIGHWAY.
'T'HESE head-on collisions are
becoming increasingly fre
quent as the density of high
way traffic increases. Almost
invariably, the mortality is
high in a head - on collision..
That is inevitable. When two
cars, each weighing several
tons, crash head-on, fatalities
are almost certain to occur.
And on two - lane highways
head-on collisions can occur
so EASILY.
TlHE moral?
It looks like divided
multi-lane highways are the
nearest approach to a solution
we can find.' The divided
multi-lane highway, unless the
dividing strip is VERY WIDE,
doesn't remove completely the
hazard of head-on collisions.
But it reduces the hazard
greatly.
It will be very costly.
But it seems to be coming.
HHAT was human careless
ness. What can we do about hu
man carelessness?
There is only one answer:
We can educate people to be
LESS careless. But that takes
India Kills, Captures
Naga Head - Hunters .
New Delhi, India -(UPD-In-dia's
operations against the re
bellious head-hunting Naga
tribesmen in the northeast has
caused 1,397 deaths and 1,723
injuries during the first eight
months of this year, official
sources said yesterday. Most
of the casualties were among
the Nagas, and 1,686 others
were taken prisoner by the
Indian army, the sources said.
Citizen Denizations Form to
Protest Quemoy, Matsu Policy
w asmngton-Citizen organ
izations are springing up in
several cities to protest the
Eisenhower Administration
policy toward Quemoy and
Matsu .
The immediate objective of
these organizations is to pres
sure President Eisenhower
into calling a special session
of Congress. Their leaders
contend Mr. Eisenhower and
Secretary of State John Fos
ter Dulles are pushing the
United States into a war in
the Far East without first get
ting the consent of Con
gress. "We're being shoved into a
war without the people we
elected to speak for us having
anything to say about it,"
claimed John M. Fishell, 68-year-old
retired foundry con
sultant who heads the protest
group in St. Louis. "We're
not hooked up to any wild
eyed group. We're just plain
citizens who are worrieed
We're out to be the loyal opposition."
Fishell said James P. War
burg, New York banker and
author, inspired formation of
the St. Louis group through
his letters and newspaper ad
vertisement criticizing Ad
ministration policy in the Far
East. Warburg said other
protest groups are being or
ganized or are under discus
sion in Boston, Chicago, Des
Moines, Cleveland, New Ha
ven. New York and San
Francisco.
Farthest Along
The St. Louis protest group
appears to be farthest along
in its organization. It already
has distributed by- mail re
marks of such critcis of i Ad
ministration Far East policy
as former Democratic Secre
tary of State Dean Acheson
and Socialist leader Norman
Thomas. Fishell said the hard
core of his organization has
been 23 private citizens who
have financed the operation
out of their own pocket. He
said his group tentatively is
named the Bi-partisan Watch
dog Committee.
Fishell said the committee
will run an advertisement in
the St. Louis Post Dispatch
giving arguments against the
Administration's Far East
policy.
, Fishell said the response to
the few protest mailings done
by his committee so far "has
been beyond all expecta
tions," adding, ""If Vice Presi
dent Nixon and Mr. Dulles
are concerned over the mail
they have received already,
they'll be absolutely horrified
over the mail they'll receive
soon."
The Rev. M. Everett Dorr,
minister of the Trinity Meth
odist church in Des Moines,
"
is at the forefront of the pro
test movement in that city.
He said he and George Cos
son, Des Moines attorney,
hope to organize a group for
mally soon. He said so far
the protests have been on an
individual basis.
Policy Said Inflexible
Mr. Dorr, a World Feder
alist, charged the Administra
tion's Far East policy was
"inflexible." He said, , "We
have no business in Quemoy
and Matsu. Chiang Kai-shek
has entangled us. We have
got to get out of the circle
we're in." He said the first
step should be a special ses
sion of Congress.
Warburg has been in touch
with both Fishell and Dorr
about the formation of pro
test groups. Warburg said
there is a group of individ
uals in New York who feel
as he does about Far East pol
icy but they have not decid
ed whether to organize for
mally or protest on an indiv
idual basis.
He said the Boston group
will run an ad soon in the
Christian Science Monitor
protesting the Administration
policy. He said it was too
early to tell what actions will
be taken by opponents of the
Far East policy who are or
ganizing or talking about it
in Chicago, Cleveland, New
Haven and San Francisco.
Nixon's Criticism
Warburg claimed that Nix
on's criticism of a State De
partment official for disclos
ing that the bulk. of the de
partment's mail has been
against the Administration
policy toward Quemoy and
Matsu will not mute the pro
test groups. "If anything," he
said, "it will make people
more willing to stick their
necks out."
A four-column ad over
Warburg's name appeared in
the New York Times of Sept.
25. It was headlined, "Call
Congress at once, Mr. Presi
dent." It claimed that "a con
tinuation of our present pol
icy can lead only to a war in
which the U. S. will have few
if any effective allies, or to
the indefinite protraction of
a state of affairs in which the
U. S. can at any moment be
plunged into such a war by an
act or decision other than its
own. . . . We therefore feel
iustified in demanding that
the whole of our China policy
and all questions incident to
our involvement in the Chi
nese civil conflict be laid be
fore our elected representa
tives in the Congress.
Readers were asked to
sign the advertisement, send
it to the President and their
Congressional delegation,
form groups to run similar
ads and contribute money
"toward the further dissem
ination of this message."
The response to the ad,
Warburg said, "has been
quite spectacular." He said
he ' has received about 250
letters from all parts of the
country and that about $1,500
has been contributed so fan
Warburg's books on foreign
policy include "Foreign Pol
icy Begins at Home," "Ger
many, Bridge or Battle
ground," "Put Yourself in
Marshall's Place" and "The
United States in a Changing
World." He is a Democrat.

Residents Asked
To Observe Fire
Prevention Week
Medford Fire Chief Gordon
Barker has asked residents to
observe Fire Prevention
Week, proclaimed by Presi
dent Eisenhower for Oct. 5
through 11, by actually prac
ticing fire prevention.
A seven-point program was
outlined for Chief Barker for
fire safety.
Barker pointed out that
nine out of 10 fires could be
avoided by taking a few sim
ple steps to eliminate com:
mon hazards.
The seven points listed by
Barker to help prevent home
fires are:
1. Inspect and clean chim
neys at least once a year.
Apparatus Cleaning
2. Keep heating apparatus
clean and replace worn or de
fective parts immediately.
3. Repair electrical equip
ment by qualified electricians
at the first sign of trouble; re
place frayed cords, on appli
ances, and do not overload
circuits. -
4. Be careful with cigar
ettes and matches, and keep
matches out of reach of
children.
5. Use fire-resistant roof
ing, such as asphalt shingles,
which give protection against
flying sparks from the chim
ney or other sources.
6. Clean combustible rub
bish out of closets, the attic
and basement. Turn in rags,
papers and magazines for sal
vage. 7. Be careful with flam
mable liquids; use non-explosive
and non-burning fluid
for removing spots from
clothing; and do not take gas
oline into the home for any
purpose.
