H. R. Glascock of Portland, representing the Western For estr and Conservation Asso ciation, charged that the measure was "so vague, gen eralized and fraught with con flicting ideas" that a new bill should be drawn. Summarizing for the pro ponents was Philip H. Za lesky, Everett. He said there was nothing wrong with the existing bill and presented a section by section diagnosis of the measure, which is de signed to set aside wilderness areas in their natural state for future generations. By LOUIS CASSELS UPI Correspondent Washington-(CPD - The aver age driver does not slow down at night. He should. That is oner of the most sig nificant findings reached by the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads in a three-year study of highway accidents in all parts of the nation. The bureau analyzed 3,700, 000,000 vehicle-miles of actual travel by 290,000 drivers over typical sections of main rural highways. . It found that night and day speeds averaged about the same. But it also found that acci dent involvement rates at night were twice as high, on the average, as in daytime. At speeds of 70 miles an hour and higher, the night time rate was four times as great. There was some evidence that darkness, per se, is not the chief reason for higher accident rates at night. Fa tigue, intoxication and other factors apparently contribute. It was found that fatal acci dent rates reached a sharp peak between 2 and 4 am but were less than half as high between 9 and 11 p.m. both periods of darkness. The study confirmed that the age of the driver has a major bearing on the acci dent rate. Drivers between 30 and 60 years of age had the lowest accident involvement rate. Those under 20 had the highest 250 per cent higher than the average for all driv ers. Drivers between the ages of 20 and 24, and those 65 and older, had accident rates near ly double the average. However much young pec pie may protest the finding, the study also showed that young drivers cannot handle higher speeds as well as more mature driver.

The study pinpointed mem bers of the armed forces as a particularly reckless class of drivers on the whole. Service men in all age brackets had an accident rate twice as great as that of civilian drivers of comparable age. And what about the acci dent male contention that women drivers are less trust worthy at the wheel than men?

But if professional male drivers bus and truck drivers, chaufeurs, etc. are eliminated, the accident rates for men and women drivers are approxim ately equal. Are the widely-publicized perils of holiday travel real or an invention of the news papers? They are real. The study shows that it is approximately 25 per cent riskier, per ve hicle-mile of travel, to venture onto the highways over a maj or holiday period. One-day midweek holidays produce a worse slaughter than those that occur on a week end. Christmas is the worst, New Year's, for some reason, has a relatively low accident rate as holidays go. The safety slogans which warn ag.inst drinking-and-driving were powerfully cor roborated. The bureau report ed that driving performances were affected by "even small ; amounts of alcohol." Drivers who were found up on testing to "have between 0.05 and 0.10 per cent alcohol in their blood had an accident involvement rate 50 per cent higher than those withno al cohol or less than 0.05 per cent. It takes about two high balls or two bottles of beer to produce a concentration of 0.05 per cent in the average adult. . Drivers with 0.15 per cent alcohol in their blood the legal standard of intoxication in many states had an acci dent rate 10 times as great as those with less than 0.05 per cent. The bureau reported pre liminary evidence that a wide variety of common drugs in cluding tranquilizers, antihis tamines, barbituates and even aspirin may affect vision or alertness and increase the risk of accident. Further research will be done on this factor. New York (DPD Failure of the Dow-Jones industrials to penetrate the 610-620 level on the next recovery with rails reaching a new high would pave the way for a reaction that could carry to somewhere between 550 and 560 during the spring months, according to Hayden, Stone and Co. Standard and Poor's feels the odds are that the market can complete its consolidation process without undergoing a serious reaction. Bache and Co. says current indications suggest buying power will develop around the 590-600 area. E. F. Hutton and Co. feels if the variable annuity idea gains a real foothold it can be construed as a very bull ish factor for the market since wider use of the medium would inevitably result in in surance companies amassing large holdings of common stock. International Statistical Bu reau's Business and Invest ment Service says best indica tions are there will be no mark up in the price of gold.
