the facts:
Il you are a pedestrian, you share
the blame Pedestrians comprise one
third OF all traffic deaths-and three
out of every four died because they
violated some rule of common sense.
Nine out of ten had never driven a
car-they didn't know what car
could do,
They stepped out into the high
way from between parked cars; they
disregarded traffic lights, crossed be-
tween intersections, or barged across
the street with their heads under
umbrellas. Not very smart people.

Voters at Fault

IF YOU are voter, you share the
blame Voters are responsible for the
laws in their states. But some states
don't require drivers license;
others ask only IS or SO cents for
the legalizing document. That means
throwing the roads open to illiterates,
morons, youngsters and graybeards.

those who can't see beyond their
radiator caps.
Some states have no laws against
reckless driving; others have no
prison sentences for driving while
drunk. Speeding fines vary from
one to a thousand dollars. Com
pulsory vehicle inspections are by
no means universal.

Europe's homeless refugees ap-
peared scant today, even as diplo-
matte experts grasped at signs
that Anglo-American talks on the
explosive Jewish-Pa lestine prob

Anxious diplomats in Washington
seized upon a Paris report that
British Foreign Secretary Ernest
Bevin had conferred today with
three top officials Of the Jewish
agency, to bolster their hopes that
a stalmate on Palestiae's problems
has not frozen fast as yet.
Sources here with their fingers
on the pulse of British Official
opinion, expressed certainty that
Britain would rather turn back
to the hope Of working out an An
glo-American solution of what to
do about European Jews than re-
sort to other alternatives.
