 After analyzing reports of 30,- 300 fatalities and o67,s40 injuries in trafiic accidents last year, the cofppany's statigticians point to these interesting and little known facts abotit accidents:
 Males Predominate
 Nearly o1 per cent of drivers in- voivcd .i1 fatal accidents are male and only six per cent female. II does not necessarily follow that women are safer drivers than men. they carefully point out, be- causc adequate data on the reln- tive exposure are lacking.
 More than 07 per cent of drivers involved in fatal accidents have had one or more years' driving experience.
 More than T6 per cent of all fatal accidents occur when the road fig dry, More than s6 per cent of all fatal accident occur in clear weather. f
 Saturday was the most danger ous day for driving in 1886. and Tuesday was the safest. In l936. the fewest number of accidents occurred on Wednesday. More persons were killed last year be- tween seven and eight o'clock in the evening than ht any other hour, but the heaviest injury toll came between i've and six o'clock in the afternoon.
 44 Worse Than War
 About 50 per cent of the fatal ities occurred during the hours of darkness. when there was only about % per cent of the total traffic on the road.
 Nearly 50 per cent of the total vehicles involved fin fatal acci- dents were passenger cars.

Many odd and surprising facts
 about Amerlca'g automobile accl- dent experience in I036 are re- veaIed in a new booklet entitled You Bet Your Life, just issued by The Travellers Insurance Com pany. By comparing the hazards of trafIic with some of the com mon forms of gambling. the eds tors have put forth clever argu- ment against reckless driving and walking.
 The traffic gambler, the booklet points out, is eleven times aA like ly to be killed or injured in on automobile accident as the hold CT of c sweepstakes ticket is to win even . small prize. He is 32 times as likely to be killed oil the highways as the holder of fl sweepstakes ticket is to collect major prize.

UNIFORM FREIGHT

IVA Report Shows Deve-

Washington, June 7.-(APD-Presi-
dent Roosevelt, transmitted to Con-
gress today a Tennessee Valley Au-
thority report suggesting establish
ment of a uniform principle of max
ing inter-territorial freight rates as
an aid to commercial development of
that valley and the nation as whole.
The survey was conducted by the
IVA under an executive order.
The President forwarded a letter
by Chairman Arthur Morgan, of IVA
briefly summarizing the report.
Morgan said the survey showed the
present regional freight rate structure
for foundries constitute barriers a.
gainst the free flow of commerce
which are hampering and restricting
the normal development of the ma
ton as a whole by preventing full
utilization of the varied natural re-
sources that exist in the different re-
gions of the country"
''The report suggest that the estab-
hshment of uniformed principle OF
making inter-territoria freight rates
will aid the commercial development
of such regions as the Tennessee Val
lev. and rebound to the benefit of the
nation as a whole"
Morgan said there was mo national
freight structure but rather a COM

Lewis Wants Labor
And Industry TO
Set Scale of Wage

Washington, June 7.-(AP)-C. I
0. Chief John L. Lewis advised Con-
gress today to let industry and labor
work out their own wage problem ex-
cept for their rock-bottom standards.
Appearing before a Senate-House
committee studying the administra-
ton proposed wage and hour law,
Lewis voiced grateful support of the
measure, but objected to a provision
by which the government could de-
termine "the fair wages" in industry
poorly organized for collective bar
gaining. He expressed fear that il
such a clause were enacted there
would be a drift toward the fixing
of small wages by the Federal gov
eminent" The labor chief suggested
that the bill set up minimum pay of
40 cents an hour for a 35-hOur week.
This would mean a rock bottom
wage of $14 a week or $500 year.
Lewis made one reference to cur
rent labor troubles in the steel indus
try. He asserted the Bethlehem Steel
Company was behind the YOungs-
town Sheet and Tube and The Re-
public Steel Company" in resisting
collective bargaining.

most observers here feel that the only

The principal reason for the belief
that Max Gardner will not run for the

the conviction of his friends that he
