HOOVER WELCOMES
SAFETY CONCLAvE
Appeals to States and Munic-
qualities to Cut High
way Toll.

President Hoover welcomed the third
National Conference on Street and
Highway Safety today with an appeal to
the States and municipalities to cooper
ate in solving a traflc problem which
Is causing one death each 16 minutes.
Mr.. Hoover, when Secretary Of Com
merce, organized the hrst two confer
ences, in 1924 and 1926. In welcoming
about $50 delegates from IL States and
Canada this morning, he said that de-
spite efforts to solve the problem, the
number of accidents continues to grow
larger because of "the unceasing in
crease in the volume Of traffic" PreSi-
dent Hoover emphasized that while the
Federal Government can cooperate In
advertising the recommendations OF
highway and traffic experts, the respon-
Sibiltties for carrying out the recon-
mendations Of the conference rests with
the States and municipalities.
The number of traf1c accidents, he
said, is "a national concern of great
importance and humanitarian one and
at the same time an economic problem
touching every man, woman and child
in the country"
The text Of the Presidents address
follows:
THE great loss Of human life in
street and highway accidents and the
toll Of suffering among surviving VIC
Tins is national concern of grave
Importance. You thus are gathered
here to consider humanitarian and
economic problem which touches every
man, woman and child in the land.
The national street and highway
safety conference held in 1926 care
fully worked out program Of measures
for improvement of trafflc conditions
1t was then unanimously agreed that
responsibility for carrying out these
States and local communities; that vol
untary organizations also should lend
their cooperation locally, and that the
national conference should reconvene
only If need for it should appear.
Accident Rate Rising.
I'm the years that have INTERVIEWED
there has been much effort to better
traff1c conditions, but the accident rate
nevertheless, continues to rise because
the increasing volume of traffic outruns
our efforts. Without these earlier efforts
conditions today would be much worse
but still the steady increasing trafiC
has outrun all measures of safety. Thic
conference has, therefore, been called
in response to widespread recognition
by governors, state and municipal ofh.

Startling.
BY the Associated Press.

Credit for election of President Hoo
yer was attributed to the churches and
temperance organizations by Deets
Pickett, representing the Methodist
Board Of Temperance, in testimony to-
day before the Senate lobby committee.
The statement, which appeared in
one of the boards publications, read:
THE bald truth is that the inefi-
cheney of the Republican political
organization in this campaign was
startling.
Except for the counsel of Senator
Curtis, the Republican management
was lacking in the advice of astute
and experienced political leaders.
THE fight was won not by the Re-
publican party, but by the churches,
the w. G. T. u, the Anti-Saloon

cations"

many who oppose prohibition, but ]
have the greatest respect for those who
have the courage to uphold their con-
sctentious convictions by advocating the
course prescribed by the fundamental

should not be made one, until this alb

becomes q definite division between
prohibitionist and anti-prohibition

Asserting that "those apparently in

to have the courage to follow the course
laid out by the people," Jones said
that his own State had provided a ref
