NEW Lai ... tion's traffic death toll on rilajor holidays. For the July 4 weekend the council estimates 330 persons will die in traffic accidents and 13,000 others will suffer disabling in juries. 'But our goal is no accidents at all," says an NSC spokesman. All we are doing is telling people there is extra traffic, ex tra danger and therefore, extra accidents, and we are asking them to be extra careful." Using mass communication media newspapers, radio, tele visionthe council pounds at the populace urging them to be care ful. Has it been successful? The council spokesman said de finitely yes. "Who can say what the toH would be if this were not done?" he asked. Still, the final tolls usually come close to NSC estimates. Holiday estimates are based on a complicated formula applied to previous records for these holi days, current traffic volume trends, current toll trends, nature and length of the holiday and fi nally, the weather. The council was formed in Mil waukee in 1912 at a safety ses sion of a steel industry conven tion. Now its Chicago headquart ers has a staff of 350 statisticians, writers, artists and traffic and in dustrial engineers. More than 300 other councils are affiliated in some way. Actually, the traffic safety prob lem accounts for mo more than a third of the council function of gathering and distributing infor mation about the causes and ways to prevent accidents. The NSC divides its work into four principal classes: work home, motor vehicle and public accidents, the latter including ac cidents at play, such as drown ings. The council operates on a 5V4- million-dollar budget, nine tenths of it supplied from membership fees paid by industrial concerns and from the sale of its posters, films, data sheets and technical in formation. , The council also publishes 13 na tional magazines with a circula tion totaling more than lVd mil lion. The rest of its money comes from contributions. The organization's president is Howard Pyle, former governor of Arizona and former presidential aide. i Administering the staff activi ties is Gen. George C. Stewart, executive vice president. Judge Mulls Integration HOUSTON, Tex. (AP) Plans for integration of what is now the nation's largest segregated school system will be ready for review by a federal judge next week, school officials have indicated. U.S. Dist. Judge Ben. C. Con- nally ordered the Houston School Board Wednesday to report to him by Aug. 17 on steps taken to comply with - a 1057 integration order. The 1957 ruling did not specify a date for integration, saying such action should be "with all delib erate speed." Parents of two Ne gro children asked Connally May 20 to reopen the case and set a deadline. Dr. John w. Mcf arland, sup erintendent of schools, said Con nally's order represents "nothing new or alarming or unexpected "The board attorney and I will have a conference about the mat ter next week," McFarland said "Then he will submit to Judge Connally the report that was asked for." The Houston district has 170,000 pupils. '59 HILLMAN 4 D00R ESTATE WAGON (mil? mm Ufgfti. ! 4 4tt ftlia fall width UllriUi . . . 1M Mldy.
