As this is written, the National
Safety Council is hoping it can
scrap its gloomy prediction of a
possible new all-time record for
highway deaths in the U.S.A. over
the 1963 Independence Day weekend.
It had estimated that from Wed
nesday evening until midnight
Sunday the total for the five
nights and four days might run
from a minimum of 550 to a
maximum of 050 traffic deaths.
Instead, a nation-wide press
association count at mid-morning
' today shows only 178 highway fa
talities reported up to that
hour.
Question:
Do you 'reckon we Americans
just MIGHT be getting a little
more sensible in our holiday
driving habits?
Let's hope so.
Incidentally
The all time record for traffic
deaths for a summer holiday
week-end was set on Memorial
Dav of this year when 525 traffic-
fatalities were counted.
The high mark for an Independ
ence Day long week-end was set
in 1061, when 509 people died in
highway crashes.
From Moscow:
The Soviet Union fired two
blasts at Ked China yesterday
on the eve of peace talks be
tween the two feuding commu
nist powers in Moscow, which are
scheduled to begin today. The
Russian communist party central
committee issued a statement ac
cusing the Chinese of slander,
meddling and "aggravating rela
tions." The Soviet Foreign Ministry
jater issued a sharp statement
"rejecting Red China's "tenden
tious lecture" over the expulsion
last week of five Chinese from
Moscow for distributing an attack
on Premier Nikita Khrushchev's
leadership of the world commu
nist movement.
The broadcasts said Communist
China would reply to the latest
Soviet blasts when it meets the
Russians face to face in the big
dow-wow to be held in Moscow,
beginning today. It termed the
Russian charges "distortions of
the truth."

Summit Meet
Ends Badly
BONN. Germany lUPP Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer and
French President Charles de
Gaulle apparently failed at a two-
day summit meeting that ended
here today to settle their differ
ences over the future of Britain's
relations with the Common Mar
ket.
A joint communique issued at
the close of the meeting this aft
ernoon did not even mention the
problem.
Spokesmen for the French and
German delegations, pressed by
reporters, would say only that the
Common Market question w a s
discussed and would be consid
ered again at a ministers meeting
of the six-nation economic group
ing in Brussels next week.
The Germans had insisted the
question be considered at today's
meeting. But the French, who had
torpedoed Britain's bid to enter
the Common Market, were un
willing to agree here on any or
ganized method of maintaining
liaison between the market and
Britain.
French Foreign Ministry press
chief Claude Lebel told question
ers only that "various ideas were
discussed."
reiterated that the five railroad
brotherhoods would strike if the
companies put the work rule
changes into effect.
The labor secretary said Thurs
day after a 30-minute Independ
ence Day conference with Presi
dent Kennedy thai emergency
legislation may be requested
from Congress to avert the strike
the opposing parties cannot
find a solution themselves.
As Wirtz put it when asked
whether Congress would be
brought into the four-year-old dis
pute: "That possibility is certain
ly imminent."
He declined to speculate on
what action President Kennedy
would request of Congress. But
he acknowledged there has been
talk of legislation permitting com
pulsory arbitration, seizure of the
railroads, or a combination of
both.
Wirtz described the situation as
"deadly serious" and said a
strike would "involve the shut
ting down of our country" economically.
A nationwide strike would idle
about 700.000 rail workers and
cause layoffs in other industries
cut off from supplies. It would
halt about 43 per cent of the na
tion's freight shipments and 25
per cent of passenger service on
217,000 miles of rail lines.
The issues at stake are crucial
to the rail unions representing
200,000 members who operate 95
per cent of the nation's railroads
The changes the rail lines are
ready to install would cost up to
37.000 jobs of diesel firemen, plus
others later. They would also
change pay scales for those who
kept their jobs. Tlie dispute has
gone through two presidential in
vestigating commissions and all
the way to the Supreme Court,
which ruled the railroads had the
right to make the work changes
The new rules generally would
make it possible for the train
companies to reduce crew sizes,
overhaul pay systems, assign
road crews to do yard switching
and yard crews to do some road
work, and permit longer runs
without crew changes.

Red Chinese Meet Russ
MOSCOW iUPI The Chinese
delegates to the Sino-Soviet ideo
logical talks arrived here today
in an atmosphere charged with
hostility by a last-minute ex
change of bitter charges.
The Chinese negotiating team
flew in by special plane from
Peking, landing at Vnukevo air
port this afternoon. The visitors
were met by Soviet delegation
leader Mikhail Suslov, senior
Kremlin ideologist.
The two sides wasted no time
getting down lo business.
Relations between live two Com
munist giants were strained to
the breaking point just hours be
fore the opening session of the
showdown talks that will deter
mine the course of international
communism.
Red China announced a bitter
new protest against the Soviet
Union earlier in the day, and the
Russians printed a front-page ed
itorial in the Communi:t party
newspaper declaring they would
not back down in the discuss-
sions.
The negotiations were called
originally to restore peace to the
Communist world, but the flurry
of last-minute vitriolic charges
and counter - charges between
Moscow and Peking cast strong
doubt that any progress would be
made.
Western observers felt there
was a possibility of a historic
split of the Communist camp.
The new China News Agency,
monitored in Tokyo, said the Chi

The protest was in connection

The National Safety Council
hoped today it could scrap its
predictions of a possible record
for highway death over the In
dependence Day weekend.
Despite pcrlccl driving con
ditions and heavy holiday traffic
in almost all sections of the coun
try, ihe traffic fatality count was
running behind expectations.
Close to 200 persons had died
since tlie start of the 102-hour
weekend. But barring a deadly
spurt on the highways, it appeared
the safety council s pre - holiday
estimate of 550 to B50 traffic
deaths by midnight Sunday would
not be reached. It was even pos
sible that the total would fall be
low 500.
The traffic death record for a
summer holiday was set last
Memorial Day weekend when 525
fatalities were counted. The high
mar'' for an Independence Day
weekend is 509, set in 105 1 .
A United Press International

signed today, Atty. Gen. Robert
Y. Thornton advised.
A iwtition to refer the revenue
measure was filed by J. Francyl
Howard, president of the Citizens
Committee for economy and
Equitable Taxation.
Howard's group still faced de
lays before circulation of peti
tions could begin, however.
As soon as the secretary of
stale is notified of tlie title as
signed for the measure, a 20-day
appeal period egins.
Anyone Can Object
Thornton explained "any person
who is dissatisfied with tlie ballot
title can file an objection within
the 20-day period.
'II then becomes a matter for
the Supreme Court to determine."
Thornton said there is no legal
lime limit for the Supreme Court
lo approve or reject the title.
'In the past there has been the
feeling that objections to ballot
titles were deliberate attempts at
stalling to prevent petitioners
from getting signatures," Thorn
ton said.
Howard's group must get 23,185
signatures before a special elec
tion can be held on the revenue
measure.
Tlie legislature set aside $300,-
000 and an Oct. 15 election date
fur such an election.
"Considerable Time" Possible
Thornton said "it may take con
siderable time for the Supreme
Court to act. Many feel this is a
defect in the law and should be
lightened up,
