(New York Times) | Take any hour of any, day. Let is be 10 a. m. on | & Monday in April, 1947. In North Carolina an elderly | woman on a visit to her grandchildren steps off a bus |and is killed by a speeding car | man changing a tire is smashed against the rear of his coupe by another speeder. On the outskirts of a Wis~ consin city a truck and a passenger car smash - into | each other an da baby riding in the sedan is hurled |through the windshield. ~In Texas a sophomore rush- ing belatedly back to college after a weekend at home takes a curve too fast and hurtles to his death, All this happens while the minute hand of the ! cloek turns one full cycle. During the same small hour 1156 other Americans are being injured in automobile | accidents. Multiply that hour by the 24 in a day. Multiply that total by the 365 days in a year. The I result is the shocking total of 32,500 persons killed and 11,365,000 persons injured in traffic accidents in 1947. In this graphic manner Travelers Insurance Com- pany, in its annual traffic study, brings home a story that should cause shame for every American. We | cannot hope to improve the picture unless we have some knowledge of its composite parts. This knowl- edge the study provides by detailed examination of the types of traffic accidents, the conditions under which | they occurred and the ages principally involved. g The record shows that excessive speed is the prin- {cipal cause ot death and injury in automobile acci- !dems. Driving too fast accounted for nearly 45 per {cent, of 'automobile fatalities attributed. to mistakes ‘bx drivers. It was a larger factor in last year's total thansin the year before; larger than i 1941, the worst ‘Wocldent year in automobile history. " The record also shows that drivers' in the 18-to- %4 n‘g’e group were involved*in-a quarter of ‘the fatal aceidents last year, although t}ae tal, number of Sich.drivers Was less than 20 mer géntdof the total @rivers.

Why foreigners desire to emigrate to America in preference to remaining in their own countries is still another answer why they believe our democracy is better than their own way of life Still another answer is that Yinancial resources so eagerly sought after by all na- tions who, if their own ideology of life were workable, would have no need to come to us for assistance. | Only ingrates or paid stooges of nations jealous . .... coulq have been settled in debate.
