' '8 - It H Ljiy White Coeds Protest Race Hatred GRKKNSBORO, N.C. AP) Three white cords joined a Negro demonstration at a dime store lunch counter here Thursday pro testing a practice of not serving Negroes while seated. The demonstration, which the Negroes promised would enter its fifth day today, spread to a sec ond dime store Thursday. The closest thing to an incident de veloped in what had been an or derly demonstration. The Negroes, most of them stu dents at Greensboro A & T College, started their demonstration Mon d3 Each day they take seats at the lunch counter of the F. W Woolworth Co. store. They are ig nored by the waitresses who do not wait on them. Several white teenagers and young men in an effort to thwart the Negroes arrived early Thurs day, blocking aisles and taking several of the counter seats. The demonstrators, joined by students from a Negro high school and the three white coeds from Greens boro's Woman's College, moved to the lunch counter of the S. H Kress & Co. down the street. White youths shouted catcalls and abusive language at the Ne groes in both stores but there was no violence. 1 iwo ot tne white youths were escorted from the Woolworth store by plainclothesmen for yelling and swearing. The Negroes are disgruntled be cause they are served standing but are not waited on while scat cd. The practice is custom and not based on law. The three while students from the women's college identified themselves as Genie Seaman of Orlando, Fla., Marilyn Lott of Washington, D.C., and Ann Dears ley of London, England. Officials of both stores would not comment. U.S. Loses $12 Billion Because Of '59 Mishaps CHICAGO (AP) - Accidents killed 91,500 Americans last year. They injured 9,300,000 men, wo men and children. They cost $12,600,000,000. The National Safety Council, in so reporting today, said the 195!) death toll was just 1,000 higher than in 1958, an increase of one per cent. Traffic accidents lopped the list with 37.800 deaths, followed by home accidents with 26.500, acci dents at work with 13,800 and ac cidents in public excluding traffic fatalities with 16,500. Fatalities rose in all those class- cs except in the home, where there was no change in comparison with the previous year.

Some 500 gallons of gasoline spilled out, but firemen arrived quickly and washed it away. There was no fire. The driver, George Rowe of Portland, escaped unhurt although his clothes were drenched with gasoline. CLAIM TESTS SUCCESSFUL MOSCOW tUPl) Tass, the official Soviet news agency, said today the success of the Russian rocket tests in the Pacific was proved by the fact that they ended ahead of schedule. Commentator Igor Orlov refuted "Pentagon expressions" that the Russians quit their testing two weeks early because of techni cal failure. He said such Ameri can speculation was designed to "explain the lagging United States rocket program." dental deaths per 100.000 popula tiondeclined to a record low of 51.9. The economic loss was calculat ed for both fatal and non-fatal accidents and it included wage losses, medical expense, produc tion delays and equipment and property damage. Falls, always a major killer in accidents, resulted in the death of 18,300 persons last year, about the same as in 1958. Deaths from burns totaled 7.400. an increase of 1 per cent from last year, while 6.500 persons drowned, a decrease of 1 per cent. Firearms deaths of ;,200 were 1 per cent more than in 19.58. The council said only one catas trophc last year caused more than 50 deaths. Sixty-five persons were killed when an airplane plunged into the East River in New York City. However, there were four other accidents in which 25 or more persons died. The council said the bulk of the accident total, as in past years was made up of one or two-death mishaps. The traffic death toll was 900 less than in 1957 and nearly 2.000 under the 1956 toll. The increase in deaths last year was less than half of the 5 per cent increase which occurred in motor vehicle travel, the council said. The council said that 198 passen gers and 28 crew members were killed in 1959 in 8 accidents which occurred in the domestic passen gcr-carrying operations ot sched uled air carriers. In the first eight months of 1959 the latest information available 1,346 persons were killed in all categories of railroad accidents compared with 1,437 in 1958. The preliminary estimate of firei$l,047,O0O,00O. 1 per cent lower losses, made by the National than the comparable preliminary Board of Fire Underwriters, was estimate for 1958. AN OPEN PORT !
