TRAFFIC FATALITIES
DISGRACE TO STATE

California stands shamed before the
nation in her record of mounting traffic
fatalities. A tragedy is being enacted
daily in streets and on highways. Long
there HAS been kept roll of violent and
traffic deaths over holiday periods. And
on this last Thanksgiving, California led
all the other states with a score as her
toll.
While one fact enters into the picture,
it in no way lessons the disgraceful rec
ord. This fact is that California is third
in the union to adjust itself to a mush-
room population due to tremendous war
plants. It is agreed that these thousands
of newcomers, unacQuainted with streets
and highways and in measure, unac-
customed to some special traffic rules
that obtain in the state, contribute to the
total.
But even so, California is as we'll po-
Iced on her highways as any other state,
and in many instances far better than
many. Not all states maintain highway
patrol systems That the highway patrol
has operated to capacity and has done
good job, goes without saying The fault
lies in a policy of false economy in falling
TO increase the patrol to meet the condl-
tions in over-populated areas, and TINS
condition exists pretty we'll over the state
The large industrial centers spread the
new menace far beyond the confines OF
the areas themselves, thus creating
statewide hazard far in excess of what
evisted prior to the influx of workers.
This wear started off with a rosy out
look on holding down these tragical acci-
dents. Then the picture changed and the
pendulum swung back and officers now
anticipate a record equal to or passing
the 1943 fatalities. For some reason the
record began to mount with the ADVENT
of summer. July saw an increase OF oo'
Aupust 70 and September 13 deaths over
the like period of 1943. And on OCTOBER
I the total stood at 1868, bare II below
1o13 ON the same date. November, with
;ts holiday deaths to bulge the count
nrobablv will bring the total past 1870
There has been an increasing number
of children killed during the year. 1hat
the war has figured into the picture IS
shown in the large number OF serVlcemeh
listed among the fatalities.
Speed it appears, has been the out
standing agency in the record. Accidents
have been fewer, but they have been more
deadly, which fact accords with the
cause-speed..s .13fl, = %tt, ..t ..t} =
1t is suggested that too MANY tickets
have been issued and not enough arrests
and prosecutions. This may. again. be
traceabIe to the war; issuing tickets per-
mits those involved in accidents to return
to work in the name of using man-hours
to capacity.
Rural areas have been the locale for
many fatal accidents and this can be
accountable only, for the most part to
excessive speed.
If more highway patrol is needed, let's

the entire United Nations organi2a-

A WORLD ECONOMIC
COUNCIL

One of the most striking differ
ences between the old League OF
Nations and the new proposed Unit
ed Naions organization would come
in the manner of dealing with econ
omic and social questions.
The ole League gave authority to
deal with such matters TO both its
Council and its Assembly. That pro-
vided a conflict in authority, but
on top of that the League confined
itself to dealing with a few specific
subjects and developed new queS-
tions only very slowly. The League
die make a beginning on such prob
lens as control of disease, white
slavery and the opium trade, but
about the only active survivors of
the League mechaniSms for dealing
with economic or humanitarian
problems were certain statistics
gathering agencies and the Interna-
tional Labor Organization.
In Chapter TX of the Dumbarton
Oaks proposals provision is made
for the United Nations organization
to go into the field of international
econmic and social cooperation on
a much broader basis This would be
done through an Economic and So
cial Council-a subsidiary of the
General Assembly. The General As
Sembly would have the power to
elect l8 countries whose represen-
tatiyes would sit on his Economic
and Social Council for three-year
terms. The number was limited to
l8 to create a workable body. Each
country would have one vote and
decisions would be by simple. ma
iority.
Imperial Valley press., 1944-11-29
ECONOMIC COUNCIL WOULD
ONLY RECOMMEND 4.,

Decisions of the Economic and
Social Council would not become
laws regulating International COM
merce immigration and emigration,
or sanitary, labor and living condi-
tions in any country. All the Econ
omic and Social Council would. be
empowered to do is to recommend
courses of action to the General
Assembly, to recommend the co-ord-
ination of activities of specialized
agencies, or, when called upon to
provide information to the SECURITY
Council on International economic
conditions a,ls
In spite of this limitation on its
powers, the Economic and Social
Council would be a powerful and
influential body 1t would elect its
own president ano make its own
rules of procedure. Then it would set
up various commissions of experts
one to deal with economic ques-
tions, another for education and so
on.
The many new and existing indie
pendent internauonaI economic and
social agencies cealihg with parti-
cular problems would participate in
the deliberations of their appro-
pirate commissions. The United Ma
