B, the Associated Press.


BALTIMORE, Jan. 30.-Every
day four and half million Amer
ican school children pile into 86, ,OOC
buses and ride down the pike to 40
600 schoolhouses.
How to get them there and back
in safety-without exceeding limited
school budgets-is a tough problem
but DR.. Thomas G. Pullen, jr., presi-
dent of the National Council of
Chief State School Oficers, thinks
he knows the answer: Bus standard
ization.
DR.. Pullen, Maryland superintend-
ent of schools, believes it can be
done If all the States follow Mary
lands lead in adopting the uniform
safety and design standards for
school buses proposed by the council
last fall.
Yellow Is Distinguishing Color.
Great strides already have been
made" DR.. Pullen reports. The $20,-
0000Q0 spent annually on school
btu now buys R great deal more
'sef1tN and efficiency than it did in
1893, The year of the first confer.
erace on the subject.
Since then many States have
to pick one example from many
painted their buses yellow. In those
States when motorist sees a yell
low bus, he recognizes it instantly
as school bus and drives past it
with a little extra care.
Last falls meeting was held to
bring our standards up to date. AS
the result of war-halted production.
the States need 10000 new school
buses In a hurry. It's obvious that
II we all agree on exactly what they
should look like with respect to
safety and construction features.

alties for installations on school

8. Wind 1ws that open far enough

COWS can be removed entirely in

4. Nonskid construction of floors
and steps.
5. Location Of gas tanks and fill
ing ports entirely outside the bus
body.
8. A body strong enough to SUD-
port the entire weight of the loaded
BUS on its side or top if it should
