This year's death toll on our
nation's highway! over the
four-day New Year week-end
holiday was smaller than ex
pected. The all-time record for
four-day New Year week end
is 409. This grisly total was
run up two years ago. .
rpHIS year'i drop is a hope
A ful sign. It must be as
sumed that this year more
cars were available to go on
the roads than ever before,
for car saturation in America
is proceeding steadily. In ad
dition, this year's weather was
universally bad.
Theoretically that increases
the hazard. But bad weather
also increases driver caution.
Only a madman can be ex
pected to go roaring into, a
storm at high speed on slip
pery roads. The bulk of our
people are sane, so it may be
that the bad weather in
creased driver caution. .
AT ANY rate, it sounds like
drivers may have been
more cautious this year
That's about the only way,
short of having a highway
cop on the roads every 100
yards, that the highway death
toll can be reduced.
, . If the roads are to become
safer, DRIVERS must become
safer. The highway safety
problem is largely an INDI
VIDUAL problem.
TOT unexpectedly, Calif or-
nia has the highest death
toll among the states, with
'more than 40 Dersons killed in
traffic up to the time this is
written.
. That sounds bad. But it
isn't ouite as bad as it sounds.
California is the second larg
est state. It has more auto
mobiles than any other state.
Its normal weather at the
New Year season is such as
to tempt more people to take
to the roads.
The more cars, the greater
the traffic hazard.
TUMPING from automobiles
to space ships, Russia re
ports that its cosmic rocket,
which missed the moon, is be
ginning to slant off into its
orbit around the sun, thus be
coming the first MAN-MADE
planet.
Question:
Will it go whirling around
the sun FOREVER?
In Washington, U.S. space
consultant Homer J. Stewart
says PROBABLY NOT. He
thinks it will return even
tually to earth, although it
may take HUNDREDS OF
YEARS to get back. When
(and if) it does get back, he
says, its return to earth will
be markcT"- a big flash in
the sky - just lmt any other
big meteorite. ' -
Somehow that interests me
ery little.
fpHE Russians are prouder
- than Punch of their
achievement as they are
'' entitled to be.
' "Sending a rocket into orbit
around the sun takes some
doing.
It also takes some brains.
F WASHINGTON, where
the congress is beginning
to reassemble, there is much
talk of what WE must do to
keep up with Lizzie, in this
case being the U.S.S.R.
Most of the talk has to do
with SPENDING MONEY.
. - Personally, I can't help feel
ing that more than throwing
money around will be required.
Hope Wanes for
Chionchio Infant
New York -dlPB- Hope wan
ed today for the possible re
turn of tiny Lisa Rose Chion
chio, kidnaped from a hospit
al nursery last Friday less
than 2i hours after her
birth. , .
Police, admittedly without i
substantial clues or leads,
searched sewers, cellars and
the Coney Island beachfront
in . their intensive hunt for
the seven-pound infant.
Detectives planned today to
question a' New York . City
woman, regarded as one of
two .suspects in the mystery.
The woman, said to match
the description of the heavy
bleached blonde believed to
be the kidnaper, was located
Wednesday in an Albany, N.
Y., hospital, where she was
"taken after allegedly swal
lowing an overdose of aspir
in. - - '
". The woman, a former men
tal patient, was . reported
missing from her home on
Sunday by her husband.
The only other "suspect"
has been identified as Mrs. ;
Betty Jean Benedicto, 31, of
Stockton, Calif., who is want
ed by San Francisco police
for parole violation. Mrs.
Benedicto served a year in
prison for kidnapping a new--born
infant in 1955.
. California authorities say
she, too, resembles the wom
an nurses saw surreptitious
ly enter and leave St. Peter's,
hospital about the time of the I
kidnaping, - J
