In The' Dav's lews llr FRANK JKNKINH Hid long Fourth ol July holiday lurnnit out to uo lewi grim and bloody Uian wu officially expected At l)is moment n( writing Uil, only 341 people lout thrlr liven. I forget whai the official forecast wu, but It wu considerably turner than 148. Let's put It this way: You can't accurately predict a atate of mind, and the bulk of our traffic fatalities result from a alale of mind. If all drivers paid strict allention to their bualneu which while they ar at the wheel, Is DftlVINQ thero would be very few fatal accident. Sir Wliuton Churchill arrives this morning in Southampton, whore the Queen Elisabeth docks. Kven before the bin Queen Rot Into port he had used Uie ahlp-to-ahore Phone to call cabinet meeunga in !indon on Wednesday morning and Thursday. The teletype reports: Churchill's call Indicated he waa eager to put before the cabinet RIGHT AWAY the details of his talks with President Elsenhower talks thst have spurred aome criticism In the American congress on Britain a stand." At 11m dock, Churchill told the reporters who swarmed around me gangplank seeking; choice bits of news as eagerly as sengulls swsrm around the ship a iralley deck seek' lug choice bits of food when the cooks throw out the leavings from a meal: "I can tell you I am sure that by trying our best In tha United elates to make tood understand' tngs and solid agreements possible between us we have not entirely failed, but It would be a mistake to think everything can happen all at once." Cryptic talk from a man who ran speak with remarkable clarity and directness when he wishes to? It certainly Is. Whst does It mean? Here's what I THINK It means: Drltaln and the tinned States are approaching a parting of the ways fn our dealings with communism The British want to DEAL, SOFT LY with the communist. They want to make agreements with them. They want to trade with Russia. They want to trade with red China. Above all, thev want to avoid ANY PROVOCATION that will re. ault In bringing on a third world war which will be almost cer tain to begin with ATOM BOMB INO. Before being too Impatient with the British, loo HARSHLY CRIT ICAL of their attitude, you'd better get out your maps and take a look at them. As a result of your map study, you will be forced to the conclusion that BRITAIN WOULD BE THE FIRST TARGET OP THE RUSSIAN BOMBERS. The British are already sure of thst. So they are NOT going to do anything that will turn the Russian bombers loose. ' That Is about the long and the short of It. If Mint IS tho present situation, we'd better not kid ourselves about It. We'd better look It squarely In the face. , And If we're to get little If any help from our allies In the final grim pinches We'd bettor begin to do some Very serious thinking about con serving our own strength If we're going to have to fight the bnttle of Armaggon (If then IS a bntllo of Armageddon) alone. Hut enough of grim talk. Wasn't It a NICE Fourth of July celebration? And a good ro deo show. And a WONDERFUL parade, And wasn't It nice of our neighbors; to come from ao far around to help us? Practically the whole Stato of Jefferson turned out, In one way nnd another, to help make our show an outstanding one. Let's keep tills In mind. It we're to be thoroughly nice people and we're sure wo are we must return these pleasant courtesies! when the time comes. And weren't Mr. and Mrs. Keith Moon wonderful In their Bpsnlsh costumes? And wouldn't a fiesta In which EVERYBODY turned out In colorful and striking Spanish costumes and took part In the parades and danced In the streets and had a generally wonderful time be ploosant affair? After all, you know, the Stato of Jefferson IS the farthest north Spanish toll oa the Paclflo Coast.

These totals were for Uie 78-hour period from I p.m. Friday until midnight Monday. Ned H. Dearborn, president of Uie council, said the comparaUve- ly low trslflo toll was "spectacu lar evidence of a trend which has been apparent all this yesr. Every month has shown a decrease In trafflo deaths from Uie same month last year. "We are encouraged to believe combined efforts are bringing about better trafflo behaviour." The council said its forecast had been compiled In Uie same way as In Uie past, bssed on exper ience with other holiday tabula tions. The all-time high mark for a three-day uly 4ih weekend was 388 In 1053. The tour-day toll of Ml in 60 was considered more typical, the council aald, producing a range In estimates of 430 to 4o which was reduced to a final calculation of this year of 430. Drownings and miscellaneous ac cidents. Including fireworks, raised the violent death toll to 830. The Associated Press survey llstd 189 drowned and 83 killed In miscel laneous accidents. Four in Uie mis cellaneous category were from fire works. , Every stste except Utah re ported at least one traffic fatality. California. Michigan and Texas were Uie leadcra In violent deaths.
