About 38,000 Die
In 'Safest' Year
On Nation's Roads
Chicago (UPD About 38,000
Americans died in traffic ac
cidents in 1959. But the year
was the safest in the history
of the nation s highways.
These contradictory figures
were released today by the
National Safety Council,
which estimated the 1959
traffic death toll at between
37,500 and 38,000 - almost
1,000 more than last year.
But the year's mileage
death rate was 5.4 for every
100 million miles traveled -
the lowest on record.
"There is good reason to
hope that the upward surge of
the traffic toll in the early
months of this year has been
definitely stopped and that
the nation s streets and high
ways will become safer and
safer," a council spokesman
said.
Probably the most tragic
figure was the 1,400,000 per
sons disabled by auto smash
ups. This was an increase
over the 1958 total of 1,350,'
000 disabling injuries.
Safety Council officials
first feared a record-smashing
total of 40,000 or more traffic
deaths during 1959. From
January to August, American
motorists killed themselves
off at a record pace 1 to 8
per cent more than during
corresponding months of
1958.
But safety took over during
the last five months.

I960 Expected To
MakeSoggyDebut
In Most of Nation
By United Press International
The 1960s will make a
soggy debut Friday with rain
or snow covering more than
half the nation, the Weather
Bureau said today.
The bureau said snow was
expected for New Year's Day
north of a line from north
western Oklahoma to north
ern Illinois and from the
Rockies into the Pacific north
west. .
Rain was forecast . over
eastern Oregon and Washing
ton and from the southern
plains into the ; middle and
lower Mississippi Valley.
Snow Belt
Snow fell Wednesday night
along the middle Appalachi
ans through Pennsylvania and
New York states into Ver
mont and New Hampshire,
around southern Lake Michi
gan and from eastern Wash
ington into Idaho and JVIon
tana. .
Light rain was recorded in
the lower Rio Grande Valley
and along the Oregon-Washington
coastline.
Rain in California
The Weather Bureau said
the snow area would spread
today from the upper Ohio
Valley into inland New Eng
land and over a vast area
from the Dakotas and New
Mexico westward over the
Rockies to the West Coast.
Rain will fall in the south
western states and California,
the weather bureau said.
A slight warming was fore
cast over the midlands today
and in the upper and middle
Mississippi Valley and New
England on New Year's Day.
Temperatures warmed as
much as 20 degrees : today
over . Utah and Nevada, but
freezing readings were re
ported as far south as Missis
sippi and Alabama. .
Ten Years Bring Fascinating
Enabling
Editor's note: Certainly the most
spectacular and probably the most
significant - development or we
1950's was man's escape from his
earth-bonnd state. For the first
time, he was able to hurl objects
and living creatures beyond the
environment of the planet on
which he lives. He had entered the
Age of Space.
The following dispatch tells of
the miracles that have been
wrought so far in this era when
miracles are triggered by a man
counting backwards from ten to
zero and of what lies ahead. It
was written by Martin Caidin, an
authority on missiles, rockets and
space.
By MARTIN CAIDIN
(Written for UPI)
Ten years ago Florida's
Cape Canaveral was a flat,
monotonous wasteland of wild
animals and a lonely Coast
Guard lighthouse. Ten years
ago space flight was a subject
of fancy to which no "serious
scientist" would lend his
name.. Ten years ago the Age
of Space seemed to be more
than a century in the future
Today Cape Canaveral is
unrecognizable. In the past
decade, the most fascinating
ten years in the history of
mankind, the barriers to space
have been hurled aside. Ca
naveral has been reshaped
into a fascinating and often
frightening center of blinding
lights and ear-splitting thun
der. Great towers rear into the
sky, and beneath the scrub
and sand there is an intricate
network of cables and wires
carrying messages and elec
tronic commands to hurl giant
missiles, and even larger sci
entific rockets, into the empti
ness of space.
Others Join Canaveral
From the launching pads on
the Cape there has roared into
orbit about the earth, or be
yond the moon into orbit
about the sun, the Explorer,
Vanguard, Pioneer, Soore.and
other satellites. There have
been lunar probes and sun
probes. And Canaveral has
been joined by others.
. Nearly 3,000 miles away on
the West Coast of the U.S. is
Vandenberg Air Force Base,
where Discoverer satellites
have rushed on flaming pillars
into orbit at 17,000 miles per
hour. " ;
From secret launching cen
ters within the Soviet Union,
even larger giants have
boomed into space, Sputnik I
on Oct. 4, 1957, exploded the
world into the midst of the
Space Age. Then came the
second Russian satellite with
its live dog as a passenger,
and then Sputnik III, a mas
sive space laboratory weigh
ing 3,219 pounds and still or
biting the earth.
USSR Successful
The USSR has led the world
away from its surface. Three
Russian lunar probes have
been enormously successful.

But these are of the future.
Now that ten years of space
have passed the beginning of
the space age goes back to
February, 1959, when an
American rocket reached 252
miles above the earth what
has all this tremendous effort
brought to us?
Formidable Opponent
Perhaps the most important
result of the Age of Space is
not even scientific. We have
come to recognize the USSR
as an unexpected and formid
able scientific-military oppo
nent. For the first time in his
tory, the U.S. is far behind
another nation in a field of
technical developments. And
several years of difficult la
bor still lie between us and
catching up in space to the
Soviet Union.
The world has, in these first
years of the space age, reaped
a tremendous scientific bon
anza. We have changed our
concepts of the world in which
we live, ana the space in
which it swims, on the basis
of what we have learned
from instruments carried into
orbit about the earth.
Not long ago, science looked
upon space as a vacuum, bar
ren to research. Now we
know it as a "radiation en
vironment." We have learned
of new problems facing man
in his attempts personally to
leave this world; we are better
prepared to meet and defeat
the hazards ahead of us; we
are even training the men
who will make that first
voyage.
Instruments in satellites
have studied the earth . and,
for the first time, science is
getting a complete look at the
weather of our world. We are
now oa the way to worldwide
weather forecasting that can
prove a true boon to the
world's people.
Many Things Learned
We have learned many
things about our planet. The
Vanguard satellite has taught
us that the earth is not as

the topic chosen for the New

at 10 a.m. at St. Peter's Lu
theran church, 1020 East

mon, pastor, will speak.

Probe Outer Space
round as we thought but real
ly is pear-shaped.- We have
studied the magnetic fields of
the earth around the equator,
and from pole to pole.
We have increased - our
knowledge of the sun, of the
great electronic storms that
sweep across space to smother
the earth in invisible particles.
From these studies scientists
will be able to improve our
communications, and give us
continent-to-continent static
free radio.
Scientists have also used
space satellites as relay ve
hicles for radio and television,
the first steps in a giant pro
gram to place in orbit about
the earth great repeater satel
lites. By bouncing television
beams off a satellite to a re
ceiving station halfway
around the world, we will be
able to enjoy globalwide TV
and radio.
There are many other ways
to judge the rewards of the
first decade in space than
simply by counting what we
have learned from our satel
lites, from our probes to the
moon- and the sun, from the
monkey named Sam who rode
55 miles into space and came
back alive.
. American citizens every
where will enjoy improved
lives at home because of the
Age of Space. So demanding
are the technical requirements
for space programs that all
American industry has gained
from the need to improve and
maintain higher standards of
quality and precision. We
have learned to fabricate
stronger, lighter, more heat- i
resistant metals. We have !
learned how to make machin-
ery operate under conditions !
which ten years ago seemed
impossible.
Most Important Result
This is perhaps the most
important result of the first
decade in space exploration.
All American industry has
benefited; our technological
horizons have been raised to
unprecedented heights.
Today it is no longer hard
to believe that rockets will
soon be on their way to Mars
and Venus, that human beings
will orbit the earth at 18,000
miles per hour, or that man
ned expeditions to the moon
are only a matter of time.
There is one final conclusion
about this fascinating age in
which we live - it is actuaUy
a combination of four ages, of
four mighty revolutions in

Poll Indicates Demo
Support Declining
Washington -(UPD-The Com
munications Workers of
America said today recent
polls of its members show a
marked decline in support for
the Democratic party.
In 1948, the union poll was
one of the few in the nation
which indicated . that Presi
dent Harry S. Truman would
win his fight for reelection
against former New York
Governor Thomas E. Dewey.
The union said the surveys
indicated Democrats still
have a decided edge over Re
publicans in the eyes of its
members but this could disap
pear before 1960 elections.
"A decline reflecting dis
illusionment (with the Demo
crats) is definitely beginning
to show," the union said in

Humphrey's speech will
come the day before Congress
reconvenes and two days
ahead of President Eisenhow
er's annual State of the Union
message to a joint session on
Jan. 7.
Johnson Speech Expected
Senate Democratic Leader
Lyndon B. Johnson, (Tex.),
one of the Senate's three oth
er still "unannounced" presi
dential aspirants, is expected
to make a session-opening
speech of his own.
There is little doubt that
Kennedy and Sen. Stuart
Symington (D-Mo.), the other
prospective candidates, will
do the same in one way or an
other. Polls taken since 1958
make clear that there has
been a gradual shift among
CWA members away from
the Democratic party, it add
ed. The latest survey was taken
among delegates to the un
ion's annual convention and
through nationwide sampling
of CWA members. The latter
group closely resembles a
cross-section of the U. S. adult
population, the union said.
Other results showed that
rank-and-file, members were
disappointed in the achieve
ments of the Democratic-dominated
Congress, the union
'said. - . .
"If this trend, becomes a
reality, then the Democratic
party is in for a sad awaken
ing in 1960," the CWA poll
sters said. . .
Need Constructive Leadership
The CWA said 73 per cent
of those surveyed in June,
1958, said they felt theTtemo
crats were doing the best job
of handling major issues. This
figure dropped to 69.9 per
cent a year later and fell to
69 per cent last August.
In an analysis of these
figures, the union concluded:
"The Democrats need con
structive and imaginative
leadership if this erosion is to
be stopped."
CWA, which represents
about 350,000 workers in the
telephone and related indus
tries, claims that its previous
surveys have never been
more than 1 or 2 per cent off
in their predictions.
