oi traffic laws. Speed limits on the
open highway vary from 40 to blue
sky. Disslmilar road markings and
local traffic regulations may confuse
many competent drivers to complete
distraction. A no-passing line in one
state may mean just the opposite in
another.
Our roads are also to blame. Traf-
fc engineers claim that so per cent
of the highways built in the last 20
wears are obsolete. That means mar
row, two-lane roads, culverts without
guardralls, one-Way bridges, and
three lane highways where competi-
ton for the middle lane is an invita-
ton to disaster.

How To Cheat Fate

MosT of the 100000 persons who
are scheduled to die in traffic acci-
dents during the next decade will
be old enough to vote If they choose,
they can prevent their sudden death
by insisting on adequate and uniform
traffic regulations from their state
legislatures. They can insist that the
right to operate automobiles be
limited to those who can pass rigid
tests of skill. And they can demand
that their state highways be i'm
proved to remove death traps.
A tragic percentage of the half
million won't be of voting age,
Evening star., 1946-09-29

one sure way to reduce traffic aCcl-
dents is by educating drivers earlyS
In Radnor, Pa. for instance, all
students must take course in driv-
ing instruction. Before they touch
steering wheel. they learn all the
basic laws of science affecting auto
mobiles
They learn about the physical law
of momentum with its practical
application - how long it takes to
stop a speeding automobile. They
also learn what happens when an
almost force meets an
immovable object. In a car going
a mile a minute, it would be like
falling off a lO-story building.
Blackboard diagrams, like the one
on the opposite page, illustrate how
centrifugal force causes skid. The
instructor proves the point by whirl-
ing metal car on the end of piece
of string. then suddenly releasing it.
After the theory - and before the
practice comes the study of auto
mobile mechanism so that future
drivers will know how much they

can expect from their vehicles. Then
ingenious testing devices show them
how much they can expect from
themselves-a gadget that measures
the operators skill in following an
eccentric line, others that test depth
perception and reaction time.
Does it pay? A recent survey
showed that driving training cut
teen-age deaths in half. Universal
adoption of such training would cut
the death rate still more.
Many municipalities have discov-
cred highways are sometimes more
to blame than drivers - so they've
hired specialists called traffic engi-
neers." Estimates say that every
city of $4,000 or more needs one

Peron Seeks 4 Million
10 Settle Argentina
BY the Associated Press

BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 3O.-A for
eign Office spokesman said today two
missions would leave soon for Eu-
rope in an effort to arrange for
1000, 900 persons to emigrate to Ar
gentina during the next 10 years.
The plan is connected with Presi-
dent Peron's five-year program of
development for the country, al
though the projected rate Of arrival
about 10000 immigrants month
would not be completed during
the term for which the President
was elected.
The spokesman said one mission,
with headquarters in Italy, would
be under the direction Of the Rev.
Jose Clemente Silva, an experienced
educator who has headed the
schools operated in Argentina by the
Salesean Order. Father Silva, who
will have the rank of Ambassador
will fly to Rome Thursday. :
Diplomatic sources interpreted the
selection Of priest-the first to
hold ambasSadorial rank Tor many
years-as a new indication of the
close tie between the Peron govern
ment and the Catholic Church, as
well as sign Argentina does not
want Communists or other extreme
leftists for immigrants.
Heading the other mission. which
will seek emigrants from France and
Spain, will be Adolfo Scilingo, ca
reer diplomat.
Attention is being centered on
Spain and italy since they furnished
the leading European national
group which originally populated
Argentina. Emigrants, also will be
sought from France, Germany, Bel
yium and Holland, the spokesman
said.

miners seeking to maintain Ger

news of the American coal strike.
A few of the Germans expressed
such sentiments as Good luck to

improve their condition" but more
were chiefly fearful that the Amer
lean strike, by affecting transport

causing them to take another notch
in tightened belts.
A half mile underground, In the
huge zoolverein pit here, men
squatted at the coalface in the
gleam of lanterns and talked OF
fellow miners almost half the world

"If Americans strike for long
they'll be coming to us for coal
What then?" said Erich Lefelder

the precious fuel which the whole OF
Germany badly needs.
A veteran Of 26 years in the pits,
Franz Ceulaers, declared, Through

us enough to eat and drink and we
will never even think Of striking"

DETROIT, I. Nov. 30.-The CIo
United Auto Workers today dis
closed details Of comprehensive,

Adopted by the UAW Executive
Board at its meeting In Cleveland

Houston Fire Blows Up
Eight Gasoline Tanks
BY The Assoeioied Pres.

HOUSTON, Tex, Nov. 30.-An
explosion and fire at the Eastern
States oil refinery on the Houston
ship channel engulfed eight raw
gasoline storage tanks today and
injured a reported eight persons.
More than 100 firemen battled
to keep the raging blaze from
spreading to other sections of the
plant, which is at the edge of the
city.
Seven Houston firemen and one
refinery employe were reported
burned. Three were hospitalized.
According to refinery employees,
the fire started from undetermined
cause in a 1000 barrel storage tank.
While firemen were battling this
blaze the tank blew up and its top
was blown onto another of the nine
tanks grouped in the area. Blazing
gasoline was thrown over the others,
and eight burst or exploded inter-

present situation" said the ComInis-
sioners, in urging full cooperation
with the conservation program pro-
posed.
Reilly Adds Appeal
In companion statement, issued
simultaneously, John A. Reilly,
chairman of the District Electricity
and Coal Conservation Advisory
Committee, warned that co-opera-
tioh is necessary ''if Washington is
to avoid serious trouble as the coal
emergency continues.
Every one must cease being
spectator and become participant"
in coal and electricity conservation, :"
Mr.. Reilly said. The situation
grows more serious each day."
The District Commissioners COM
plete statement, issued over the sig
nature of Guy Mason, acting presi-
dent, follows:
"Since the Commissioners first
promulgated their emergency re-
strictions on the use of electricity
which became effective at midnight
on November %, there has been only
10 per cent reduction in consump-
ton of electric power. This small
reduction, about half of what it was
estimated to be, is great disap-
pointment to the Commissioners.
1--WE are deeply concerned about
the serious effects on community
life if the coal strike continues for
any length of time. The date when
the Commissioners must take much
more drastic action is directly de-
pendent upon the amount of conser- |
vation achieved under the order now i
in effect.
Every user of electricity must |
that essential COM
munity services must continue to
operate. The water and sewage sys-
TENS require electricity. Police and
fire protection cannot be curtaile0.
Food processing and handling
establishments must continue toI
serve the public. Hospitals and In
stitutions must have enough power
to insure indefinite operation.
Warn of Further Action.
'Every citizen of Washington will
appreciate the fact that the Com
missioners must issue much more
drastic orders than now are in effect
whenever they are necessary to in
sure that enterprises such as the
above will continue to operate in
definitely. The date when these
drastic orders are made effective
will be hastened through failure of
each and every citizen to cooperate
to the fullest extent in complying
with orders now in effect and in
practicing other economies which
are apparent.
1--WE hope that every citizen will
realize the deadly seriousness of
our present situation. We urge each
one of you to reduce to the great
est extent compatible with health
and reasonable comfort the use of
electric current.
IF you have suggestions as to
how greater conservation can be
accomplished, or if you think that
you can help the Commissioners in
this matter which so vitality affects
each one of you, please transmit
your suggestions Immediately to the
Commissioners Electricity and Coal
Conservation Advisory Committee,

Trade, The Evening Star Building"
Mr.. Reilly's statement follows:

owners and all residents to do their
part in curtailing the normal every
day use of electricity and heat If

Recalls Game Of 1925.
That started him to reminiscing
about another Army-Navy game he
attended. He thought it was 1926,
in Chicago, when the Navy, in the
role of favorite instead of underdog
as was the case yesterday, was held
to 21-21 tie by Army. as he re-
membered it.
A check of the records showed
that Mr.. Truman, county judge
from Missouri when he saw the
earlier game, had remembered COR
rectly, after a lapse of 20 years.
The President, accompanied by
Mrs. Truman and members of his
official family, watched the first halt
of the game from the Navy side. He
went over to the Army roofing Sec
ton for the finish. Secretary of
the Navy Forrestal, Vice Admiral
Reginald Kaufman, commandant
of the Fourth Naval District, and
Vice Admiral Aubrey w. Fitch,
Naval Academy superintendent,
played host at the outset. Secretary
of War Patterson and Maj, Gen.
Maxwell Taylor, superintendent of
West Point, headed the Army
group with which the President sat
for the windup. Mrs. Truman re-
mained on the Navy side through

garet Truman, who drove to Phila-
delphia from New York with a.
Secret Service man. She had talked
to the President between halves over
a telephone in the stands beneath
his box
The Presidents special train left
here at $50 yesterday morning, and
pulled into Philadelphia three hours
later. The President had planned
to get to the stadium in plenty of
time for the pregame antics OF
Midshipmen and Cadets, and made
his entry so early that none of the
bands were on hand to render the
customary honors. Consequently,
his arrival virtually was unnoticed
except by those in the immediate
vicinity of the presidential box.
He was welcomed to Philadelphia
by Gov. Edward L. Martin, Repub-
Ecan Senator -elect; Senator Myers,
Democrat, of Pennsylvania; Repre-
sentative Bradley, Democrat, of
Pennsylvania, and Mayor Bernard
Samuel of Philadelphia. Mrs. Sam
uel, wife of the mayor, presented
Mis-. Truman with corsage.
While the Presidents personal
party was small, there were about
200 passengers on his special. The
company included Paul A. Porter,
who has just resigned as OPA ad-
ministrator, and Charles Denny,
acting chairman of the Federal Com
munications Commission. Mr.. Porter
has decided not to return to the
FEC Craftsmanship, and is under
stood to favor Mr.. Denny as his sue
ceSsor.
There was no comment from the
President, or his press secretary,
