Lodge Seem Biddingfor Spotlight
With Speech in Stussen1s Town

the edge with their candidate, Gov.
Bricker of Ohio. Mr.. Bricker is, at
most, lukewarm on international
questions. II he is nominated, the
Eastern international wing Of the
party must be appeased, and that is
where Mr.. Lodge comes In. Even II
Mr.. Stassen would consent to take
second place with Mr.. Bricker, Min
nesota, like Ohio, is Middle West.
So-o-o-o. Thus runs the reasoning.
Mr.. Lodge, like Mr.. Stassen, is a
veteran with combat experience
Both are young and personable.
Both have the same immediate
problem-they need job and both
seem destined to have to challenge
well-intrenched old isolationists,
Senators Shipstead and Walsh.
On domestic issues neither can
claim the true blue liberal ribbon.
Mr.. Stassen is generally tagged in
that CAMP but appears SO chiefly by
contrast with the reactionaries he
defeated in his State. Business does
not fear him. He had a good admin
istration and is accounted an ex-
tremely able executive. Mr.. Lodges
experience has been entirely legisla-
tive-he served in the Statehouse
before coming to Congress.
Mr.. Stassen, Of course, will strive
for the presidency again and has a
well-organized, well-financed cam

One Of Is Americans

$4,000 Lost Lives
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-Accidents in
the United States in 1945 cost sc, 600
lives, injured 10000, 600 and the es-
timated economic loss was $780,
000, 900, the National Safety Council
said today.
The council said the toll was only
l per cent above 1914, but that the
comparison was misleading "be-
cause it does not depict accurately
the seriousness of the current ac-
cident problem"
"The 1945 increase is as small as
it is only because of a natural and
drastic reduction in accidents to
military personnel" the council said.
Actually, figures show that the
Nation celebrated vi day by going
on prolonged traffic spree that

In the seven war months of 1945,
traffic deaths rose only 13 per cent
over the same period in 1914, while
from VI day august 14) to the
end OF the year the traffic death toll
shot up So per cent.
Deaths from accidents in 1945 as
compared with 1914 were:
Total, $1,000, compared with
95, ,237, an increase of l per cent.
motor vehicle, 28,500, against 24,282,
up II per cent; home, 80 500, against
80, 900, up 2 per cent; occupational,
10000, the same as in 1914; public
(not motor vehicle), 1880, against
$1,000. up per cent: military per-
sonnel, $500. against 1850, down
43 per cent.
The 1945 all-aecident death rate
was 71.6 per 100000 population.
Only five years since 1900 had lower
rates, and the lowest-68.4 for 1921
was only Az per cent less than the
1945 rate.
Nevertheless, the council said,
/ in every 13 persons in the United
States suffered a disabling injury
in 1945.
The estimated economic loss of
IS 200, ,000, 900 from accidents in 1945
covered both fatal and nonfatal
mishaps and included wage losses,
medical expenses. overhead costs of
insurance, production delays. dam
age to equipment and property dam
age from traffic accidents and fires.
Deaths of children under de-
creased per cent in 1945, but a 4
per cent increase was recorded in
accidents fatal to children in the
5-14 age group. There were 16 per
cent fewer deaths in the 1924 year
group and per cent fewer for the
25-44 group. Persons As to Ga years
old had per cent increase in
deaths and older persons per

BarkIey Will Delay
New Attempt 10 End
on FEPC
BY the Associated Press,

l
Senate Majority Leader Barkley
said today he would wait a day or
two" before making another attempt
to end the Senate filibuster against
the bill to establish a permanent
Fair Employment Practice Commits
sion.
This appeared to please Southern
Senators who have been leading the
wordy battle against FEPC.
The filibuster. in a parliamentary
maneuver, is based technically on
correcting the Senate journal.
Some Of the Southerners said pri-
vately they believed the Senate soon
will decide to put aside the contro-
lversial antidiscrimination measure
and take up other legislation
But Senator EaStland, Democrat,
| Of Mississippi, planned to continue
with the lengthy speech which he
started yesterday.
Barkley AssaiIs Ruling.
II think his ruling was completely
wrong" Senator Barley told re-
| porter, referring to the decision
yesterday by Senator McKellar,
Democrat, Of Tennessee, the Sen
ates regular presiding officer. that
a cloture debate limitation) petit
ton by Senator Barkley and At
other Senators was not in order.
Under that ruling we might Of
fer a cloture petition on the read
ing an dapproval of the journal, /"
Senator Barkley said. But we'll
wait awhile before we try anything
like that"
Senators Barkley and Taft, Re-
publican, of Ohio argued in vain
yesterday that the only pending
business" before the Senate was the
FEPC. The Senate voted, 40 to II,
to consider the FEPC bill on jan
uary II and then adjourned. Since
that date opponents of the legisla-
tioAs have kept the Senate busy con-
sidering reading and correcting the
official journal of January II.
Senators Taft and Barkley pointed
out that when the Senate last
changed its rules in 1917 to provide
for a method of debate limitation
this was done with the intent and
purpose of forcing a vote and ter
minating talk.
McKellar Upholds Russell.
Senator Russell, Democrat, of
Georgia said this was all wrong
and that the first business of the
Senate was reading and approval
of the journal.
President Pro Tenn McKellar up
held Senator Russell and then SEN
ator Barkley announced that he was
forced to appeal to all the Senators
for floor vote, because the Senate
had right to interpret its own
rules. This was true. Senator Nc
Kellar said, but noted such an ap-
peal can be debated without limit
and Southern Senators quickly
started arguing on the limit action.
Three of them criticized President
Truman and National Democratic
Chairman Hannegan.
Il criticize the President of the
United States and the chairman
of the Democratic National Com
mittee for calling up such a con-
troversial piece of legislation at this
time," Senator Stewart, Democrat,
of Tennessee said.
Senator Overton. Democrat, of
Louisiana Joined Senator Stewart
to ask How long will the national
Democratic party continue to bite
the hand that's feeding it?"
He referred to the apparently
unanimous opposition of Southern
Democrats to the legislation.
Senator Eastland said that the
move for FEPC by party leaders was
catering to minorities."
