In Traffic Toll by 1850
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-President Tru-
man today expressed the hope that
by 1850 the annual national acci-
dent death toll could be cut to $4,000
PSF 900 below the present level.
In a letter to Ned H. Dearborn.
president of the National Safety
Council which will begin its National
Safety Congress here tomorrow. the
President said:
There Is no good reason why the
death toll cannot be brought down
to $4,000 or less by 1850. II every
one does his part.
Our annual accident toll of 100.-
600 killed and 100000 injured Is
an intolerable drain on our man
power and resources. The sooner
America realizes this, the better"

us. Renounces Share
OF Italian Fleet 10
Help Non.Red Regime
BY the Associo}ed p,.x.

The United States is renouncinp
an Italian battleship and other war
vessels awarded it under the peace
treaty as part of current efforts
to aid Italy's nom Communist gov
ernment.
American officials reported this
Yesterday after Foreign Minister
Sforza disclosed the action without
details in the Constituent Assembly
in Rome.
The battleship and other combat
craft must be scrapped and cannot
be added to the postwar Italian
navy as its composition is fixed in
the peace treaty. Italy, however,
may keep any auxiliary vessels such
as tugs and tankers which are re-
turned. Also she will be saved the
cost of putting the combat ships
into operating condition before
handing them over-a treaty re-
quirement.
Part of 19-Ship Pool.
Offlcials here said they don't know
whether the other Allied powers
LII ItdilI, dltC anu 1buoo1d~WlAA AOl-
low the United States lead
The renounced vessels are part of
q pool of 10 warships and several
score minor craft and auxiliaries
which under the treaty were placed
at the disposal of" the Big Four.
Included were three battleships, the
Giulio Cesare, Italia, and Vittorlo
Veneto.
The division among the powers,
made by an Allied naval commission,
has not been disclosed. The powers
agree that any of the vessels could
be renounced if not desired. 1t was
stipulated that any combat ships
returned to Italy must be scrapped,
but that auxiliaries might be put
back into service.
The naval commission was due to
meet in Rome Immediately after the
tready went into effect September
IS, and ALLEGATIONS among the Allies
were to be announced then. The
meeting has been delayed by failure
of the Soviet representative to ap-
pear, officials said.
Merchant Ships Not Involved.
italian merchant ships were not
involved in the tready split. BY terms
of the armistice they were put under
control of the Allied supreme COM
mander for use in the war, The
United States has now returned to
Italy those this country used. Alto
gether % Italian merchant vessels
were returned by the United States
last month in a 81 ,O0O, 600, 900 gesture
of aid which included cancellation
of various war claims.
The peace treaty limits Italy's
postwar navy to two battleships,
four cruisers, four destroyers, and a
larger number of torpedo boats and
corvettes, aside from various auxi-
liaries.

said he had found many men hao
been without target practice for as
long as six years. Since the new
practice program was instituted
400 policemen have SHOT for quail
fication and all but 134 have quail
fed.
s. Assignment of more men to the
Robbery Squad and several other
squads which were short-ilanded
and designation as acting lieutenants
of all detective sergeants m charge
of squads.
7. Assignment of Sgt. John Ryan
as liaison between the department
and citizens groups.
Seeks to Cultivate Friendships.
Two of the most recent moves
were announced last Friday.
Mai. Barrett said the department
would seek to cultivate the friend
ship of children by development OF
q friendly attitude on the part OF
all policemen and assignment OF a
uniformed man to each Metropoll-
tan Police Boys Club.
The other announcement revealed
the. three plainclothesmen assigned
to Union Station would be replaced
by uniformed men who would cover
the terminal as part of regular beats
kept short to permit them to assist
the public in circulating through the
station. Maj. Barrett pointed out
persons needing assistance could not
recognize the plainclothesmen, and
the latter were given opportunity to
take 1t easy"
Mai. Barrett said he was working
on the problem of improving ambu-
lance service on accident calls and
the other runs involving police re-
ports. He said he favored a re-
ouirement that interns be assigned
to ambulances on all such calls and
had approached the Commissioners
on this.

u. 5. Will Explore
French Proposal Of
Balkan Cancellation
BY the Assoeiossd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, OCG. fine
United States rested its case In the
controversial Balkans question to-
day by telling the United Nations it
would explore" q French proposal
Of conciliation in the hotly debated
Balkan problem.
Herschel v. johnson, American
delegate, made the closing American
statement on this case before the
57-nation General Assembly Political
Committee. He declared that the
United States would explore" the
French compromise which seeks to
refrain from placing blame on Yug-
oslavia, Albania and Bulgaria.
Special Commission Asked.
The American Government has
accused the three Soviet satellite
nations Of threatening the political
integrity Of Greece and has re-
commended that a special Balkan
commission be established to settle
the problem.
Mr.. johnson told the committee
that the United States is interested
in the proposal made yesterday by
Premier Paul-Hanri Spaak, of Bel
gium, who asked Yugoslavia, Al
bania and Bulgaria whether they
would accept such a commission
provided that the U. N would rem
der no verdict against them.
Mr.. johnson suggested that the
committee ask the three Balkan
nations to express their opinion on
the French proposal.
1t was the first indication in the
long g-debated case that the United
States was interested in the French
conciliatory proposal
Adjourned Till Monday.
The committee adjourned at 1:2l
pm. until 3 pm. Monday when
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Andrei Y. Vishinsky is expected to
close Russia's case. DR.. Herbert v.
Evatt, Australian deputy prime min
lister and foreign minister, is listed
as Mondays second speaker. Ten
other nations are to be heard from
before the committee starts detailed
work on opposing American and
Russian proposals on the Balkans.
A trend toward adopting a con-
ciliatory attitude in the Greek case
rather than to place blame on any
given party also was embodied in
statements made today by delegates
from Egypt and Colombia.
But DR.. T. F. Tsiang OF China told
the committee there was no just
ification for the border violations
that have taken place in recent
months in Greece" and aligned his
government solidly behind the
United States.
Ricardo Fournier of Costa Rica
also supported the American resolu-
ton.
Big Four Conference Urged.
DR.. Alfonso Lopez OF Colombia
appealed to the committee to rec
ommend Big Four conference
among the United States. Russia,
Britain and France in hopes of
solving the Balkan issue. Lopez
urged the four powers to confer
over the negotiation of peaceful
settlement. He also recommended
that a general Balkan convention
be called to guarantee peace and
security.
When debate opened today, DR..
Oscar Lange of Poland described
the Intervention of Britain and the
United States into the Greek ques-
ton as "the original sin" of the
Balkan problem. He blamed the
foreign Intervention on America and
Britain rather than on Greece's
three northern neighbors.
Mr.. johnson replied to Lange by
claiming that the primary concern
of the United States is peace and
tranquility in Greece"

particularly against Mrs. Roose-
velts mention of differing concepts
of democracy among U. N. members
Yalta Agreement Recalled.
If the American delegation did not
support the principles of his resolu-
ton to muzzle "warmongers, Mr.
Zorin said, "let them not hide be-
hind vague references to varying
concepts of democracy" but state
their opposition to those principles
openly.
He recalled that President Roose-
welt had personally signed the Yalta
agreement which stated an Allied
aim was to wipe out all vestiges OF
fascism.
perhaps the present American
delegation is no longer in agree
ment," he commented.
Mr.. Zorin' then read a lengthy
series of quotations aimed at show
ing abuse of press freedom in the
United States and Britain.
He quoted a Reuters dispatch
which said Sir Hartley Shawcross OF
the British U. N. delegation said in
radio address June 80. 1916, that
all British newspapers should print
announcements that they were
owned by Lord So-and-So" and re-
flected the owners personal views
and might be untruthful.
Quotes From British Book.
He said Shawcross had denounced
the distortion and unfair selectivtty
of news in British newspapers.
Mr.. Zorin then quoted from a book
he said was published in Britain BY
man named Williams. The in.
terpreter gave neither the title ol
the book nor Williams first name.
The Williams book, according tc
Mr.. Zorin, said the British govern
ment had exercised pressure" or
British papers before the war te
prevent their publishing anything
anti Hitler.
Turning to the United States, he
quoted from book by George Seldes
published in 1943 which Mr. Zorir
told the committee, declared the
American press was under mono
polistic selfish control
Mr.. Zorin turned next to Morris
Ernst, identifying him as lone Of
the foremost American journalists
and attorney for the American
Newspaper Guild. Mr.. Zorin sale
Mr.. Ernst has written that freedom
of the press in the United States
is gradually disappearing"
Newspaper Chains Cited.
Many American cities, Mr.. Zoran
said, have no locally owned and pub
lished newspaper, their newspapers
being published by chains. He cited
Pittsburgh as a city whose news
papers, he said, are made up and
their news items selected" in New
York City.
Mr.. Zorin also quoted an article
which appeared in the Economist
British weekly magazine, in 1914
which said:
"Mr. Kent Cooper. general mana
ger of the Associated Press and au-
thor of Barriers Down (translated
to the committee by the U. N. inter-
prefer as Down with ControlsD Is
leading a crusade to incorporate a
charter of freedom for news and
communica tions' in the peace settle
ments. (Mr. Zorin said "in interna-
tional 1aW'o =
"Mr. Cooper, like most big business
executives, experiences peculiar
moral glow in finding that his idea
of freedom comedies with his COM
mercial advantage"
Mr.. Zorin declared the profit mo-
tive" was "often mixed in such con-
cepts as freedom of the press"

Briton in j. n. Attacks
Russian Proposals for
World Press Controls.
By the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 4.-Ernest
Davies of the United Kingdom told
the United Nations Social Commit
tee today that the Soviet Unions
ideas of free press are diametri-
cally opposed to those of his nation
and that the U. S. S. r. would "use
the press to mould public opinion
along one particular line"
He spoke in reply to move here
by the Soviet Union to open a dis
cussion on certain principles which
the Soviets think should control the
world press, and should be dis
cussed at the Forthcoming spring
conference on freedom Of informa-
ton and of the press.
The committee adjourned without
taking any action on the Soviet pro-
posal. 1t will meet again Monday
when White Russian and Siamese
delegates are to speak and Mrs
Eleanor Roosevelt of the American
delegation is to make a second
statement on the subject.
In particular Mr.. Davies objected
to Russian suggestions that the press
"organize for the eradication of
Fascist Ideology," and "expose war;
mongers."
Can't Agree to Restriction.
Mr.. Davies said, my Government
cannot agree to restricting freedom
by defining those who should be
excluded. 1t would become pos
sible for Government authority to
interpret critical or even political
views which are disagreeaole to il
as coming within the definition OF
Fascist propaganda.
He expressed the fear that once
there is legal restriction on what
people can write or speak "the
question arises as to who is to de-
eide from whom freedom is to be
withheld In such circumstances
no real freedom can exist. There is
danger of driving minority opinion
underground. To drive the opposi-
ton to cover is to take the first
step towards the establishment OF
a police state"
He stated that the agenda for the
forthcoming world conference is
adequate to permit the Soviet Union
to bring up its ideas there, and tnat
debate here on the subject is un-
necessary.
Valerian Zorin of Russia, who
proposed the Russian resolution,
called Mrs. Roosevelt,s previous
arugments against the measure
contradictory and superficial and
said they reflected the attitude Of
"reactionnary" elements. He spoke
