Wins National Award
For Doing the Most
Thot Could Be Done

Washington today was de-
clared winner of the grand
award in the National Traffic
Safety Contest for having done
"the most that could be done
practically for traffic safety" In
1916.
This city also received from the
National Safety Council the first
place award for 1916 in cities Of
500. 900 or more population. The
Council announced In Chicago that
Washington cut its traffic death
toll from rs In l941 to SO in 1916.
Expressing great qualification, .
Traffic Director George E. Keneipp
explained that the Safety Council
count of fatalities does not include
deaths in accidents involving street
cars. Washington includes such
fatalities and its official toll for last
year was u.
Deaths Ahead of 1946.
Traffic deaths thus far in 1947 are
running considerably ahead of last
year. There. have been Il fatalities
here to date, compared with Is at
the corresponding date In 1946, Mr..
Keneipp reported.
Noting the increased traffic fatal
ity trend this year, Mr.. Keneipp
warned:
"If pedestrians continue to cross
streets in the middle OF the block
without looking either way; If
motorists continue to speed, to drive
while drinking, and to otherwise
operate their cars recklessly, the
traffic death rate may be so high
by July l that the Nations Capital
viii be out Of the 1947 contest"
Informed of the award, the Com
missioners issued a statement ex-
pressing pride In an achievement
which marks milestone In the
vigorous campaigns which have been
conducted in past years by the
Traffic Advisory Council, the Traffic
Division Of the Police Department,
and the Department of Vehicles and
Traffic" &.
The statement also expressed
thanks to numerous civic groups
who have done their share III edu-
eating members and neighbors In
good safety" Praised for their part
in helping Washington, the award
also went to the schoolboy safety
patrols, motion picture theaters and
the local newspapers and radio
stations.

Phone Unions Set Up

Washington area telephone
unions set up combined strike
headquarters today-their an
swer to the failure thus far of
efforts to head off a national
walkout scheduled for Monday.
The strike machinery was oiled
even as the Cancellation Service in
tensified efforts to resolve the dis
pute between SO aff1liates Of the Ma
tional Federation of Telephone
Workers and companies of the Bell
System.
Today's focal point was another
meeting between the American
Union Of Telephone Workers and

last night before admitting lack Of

we get settlement" he said, order
ing another conference this morn
ing.
Union Resists Arbitration.
The Cancellation Service is urg-
ing arbitration. But thus far the
union has resisted a management
offer to arbitrate the basic wage
question.
The Chesapeake & Potomac Tel
ephone Co. clarified the terms of
arbitration offered the two District
unions.
The company said 1t had offered
to arbitrate the basic wage question
with no strings attached. and not
only in terms of the community
wage pattern" as hitherto publicized.
Such arbitration would be based
on the national union demand for
a $12 across-the-board wage in
crease. The cost-of- living factor
would be arbitrated along with every
other phase of the wage question, it
was said.
No Counter Proposal Offered.
The company said this offer WAS
turned down by the unions after
they were presented by Cancellation
Service commissioners, and without
discussing the offer in a joint meet
ing with the company.
The District Federation of Tel
|ephone Workers proposed instead
arbitration of all issues in dispute,
and the Washington Telephone
Traffic Union did not make any
counter proposal, the company
added.

United States would be willing to

If the Allied powers agreed to leave

The heart of the Marshall formula
was that the nations which would
have received the plants should
agree instead to receive an equiva-
