First Checks Arrive
For Degges Widow
On Insurance Claim

Mrs. Anna Degges, Washington
Marines widow whose difficulties
in getting aid from the Government
were first disclosed in The Star,
received her first national service in
surance checks today.
The Veterans Administration
rushed the insurance and pension
claims through in 48 hours after a
contact representative for the
agency was sent to 6301 Eastern
avenue, Takoma Park, Md, where
Mrs. Degges is living with five small
sons.
The representative visited Mrs.
Degges Tuesday to help her fill out
the forms. The agency had the
necessary evidence of dependency
photostated, including birth GER
tificates for the five children and
sent the papers to New York. The
checks were dated Wednesday.
Mrs. Degges still has not re-
ceived the pension check, but the
Veterans Administration said she
ought to have it tomorrow.
Last Sunday The Star reported
that Mrs. Degges, whose HUSBAND
died on August % on Okinawa, had
received no death gratuity, pension
or insurance checks.
The Marine Corps sent the death
gratuity Monday. 1t was expected
that by the end of this week all the
back payments will have been made
Since pension and insurance
checks, however, will amount to
only $138 month, a citizens COM
mittee has been discussing arrange
ments to set up a trust fund for

vide other living arrangements for

would be tied up for some time
A fleet of 20 buses arrived in
Washington at am. with approx
mately 300 train passengers.

Truman Order
For u. 5. Safety
Drive Expected
Governments S Poor
Accident Record Due
To Bring Swift Action
BY JOSEPH YOUNG.

President Truman soon will order
all Federal agencies to take i'm
mediate steps to improve safety con-
ditions for Government workers. it
was learned today.
The order will stress the Govern
ment's poor accident prevention rec
ord compared to that of private
industry and urge every possible
measure to lessen casualties and pre-
vent Federal manpower loss.
Last year more than 157, 900 Gov
ernment workers were injured while
at work. OF this number, 10000 took
time of from work to recuperate.
A total Of GIT employees lost their
lives in Government establishments
throughout the country.
Advocates of improved safety con-
ditions point out that these acci-
dents added up to 5,288,344 days
lost from work and a cost to the
Government of $9,826,016. This re-
fleets a 10 per cent increase in the
accident frequency rate over that
or five years ago.
A Government official, who has de-
voted considerable time to studying
safety conditions, said painstaking
investigation showed that only in a
negligible number Of cases was the
death or injury unavoidable.
To strengthen their case, Govern
ment safety advocates stress the
record of some leading industrial
firms compared with that of the
Government.
Du Points Rate 1.9.
The number of injuries per million
man hours worked was 1913 for
Government agencies in 1943. This
compares to a frequency rate of 1.9
for such firms as Du Pont and 80
for United States Steel.
IF Du Pont. maker Of explosives,
can achieve safety record six times
as good as the Governments aver
age, certainly we have a long way
to CO." high Government official
said today. Last years loss of
manhours amounted to the full time
of 1900 workers"
Typical accidents Detailing Gov-
ernment workers are these: Hit head
on open file drawer, fell when foot
caught In telephone wire, slipped
and fell on recently waxed linoleum
floor. attempted to remove belt from
office machine in motion and caught
left hand between rollers, injured
by file cabinet which overbalanced
when two top drawers were opened,
tripped over an adding machine
cord stretched across an aisle be-
tween row of desks, broke hip.
Proposes Remedies.
Most of these accidents can be
prevented, the official said. Among
his recommendations for preventing
accidents were these: Pooling of in
formation and experience regarding
safety matter by all Federal
agencies, formation of permanent
committees, with special appropria-
tions to insure skilled staff assist
ance, to deal with such matters as
construction safety, occupational
hazards, agricultural safety, office
safety and other fields. These COM
mittees would make special reports
and recommendations to all Federal
bureaus.
Other Government officials con-
cur with this program and also ad-
vocate that the Civil Service Com
mission, as the central personnel
agency, should assume leadership In
the field of employe safety and that
it should staff itself to promote
safety programs throughout the
Federal service.

REPAIR COSTS Up

The average repair now costs
about 50 per cent more than be-
fore thC war. the insurance COM
panieS state. Not only are parts
scarce and expensive but garage
mechanics wages have gone up
and the repair shops have been
forced TO boost their flat as well
as hourly rates.
The latest factor entering into
the insurance rate boost is the
higher frequency of accidents.
Detroit in the last so days has
become one of the worst spots in
the country for accidents
Canada has also witnessed an
increase in collision rates.

SET BY BUREAU

The rates are set by the Bureau
Of Casualty Underwriters. AT the
beginning Of the war, gasoline
rationing forced many cars off
the road, especially in the east,
and rates dropped slightly.
But last fall. the accident rate
began 10 climb again and rates
were boosted in the east. The
rise has now spread in this section.
Most of the blame for the in
crease is placed on the parts
situation and higher cost of re-
pairing cars Some parts are
impossible TO get, such as radi-
ator grilleS and Tenders. The only
way to repair grilles is by welding
or reworking the damaged grille
