Accidents Increas as

Sometime ago a controversy
ragged on these pages because local
cab companies had been singled
out and criticized because its driv-
ers travelled rather recklsesly up
and down our streets. This criti-
cism can be leveled not only at
one individual group but at Day
ton motorists as a whole.
Look at the total national pic
ture, remembering that Dayton
stands high on the list Of city's
its size.
T~hirty-two thousand five hun
bred were fatally injured in acct
dents last year; 1O,94O pedes-
TRANS yer killed. This does not
include the hundreds Of thou
sands injured, many critically.
Chief cause of all accidents last
year was excessive speed. More
than 80 per cent of the crashes
occurred in clear weather, and a
third Of all traffic deaths occurred
on the open highway. Two out Of
every three deaths we're caused
by the carelessness of the driver.
Also many PEDESTRIANS were killed
through carelessness; 5000 were
killed and $1,000 injured at inter-
sections.
The past weekend was a CORY
one for this section. Crashes were
excessive and traffic deaths fire.

MEMPHIS, June 20. (ANP)-
The second case Of police brutal
ity toward prisoners within the
last 30 days came to light here
last week when Mrs. Viola Moore,
34-year-old house maid, disclosed
that she had been struck with a
blackjack and a revolver by two
policemen as they took her to po-
lice headquarters late in the after
noon of June 10. The victim told
her story from a bed in the John
CASTOR hospital, where she is re-
ceiving treatment for cuts and
bruises.
The beating followed a distur-
bance in the Jefferson Food shop,
where Mrs. Moore became invol-
we'd in an argument with a waiter
over ordering of a meal. Police
were called in b ythe manager,
and she was put into a squad car.
She said that as she started to
smoke a cigaret, one of the Off
GERS knocked it out Of her hand.
"Then he cursed me and threw
me off the seat and got on top Of
my stomach with his knee" she
said. "While he hit we with a
blackjack the other officer stop
ped the car, turned around and
hit me with his pistol and cut my

Mrs. Charles R. H. johnson,
highlighted the program with the
reading Of a poem dedicated to the
poet. This birthday celebration of
Dunbar also included a tribute to
his mother, Mrs. Mathilda j. Dun
bar. Mrs. Dunbar was a poet in
her own right and she did much to
stimulate her son in that field.
Attending this celebration were

Masked Men Search Girl
Scout Camp in Alabama

NEW YORK, June 29.-An in
vestigation into a recent invasion
of a Girl Scout national training
camp in Alabama by masked men
was requested this week by Off
Gals of the Girl Scouts of the
United States.
In a letter to Attorney General
Tom C. Clark, Mrs. Paul Ritten-
house, national director, asked
that the investigation "be made on
the grounds Of unlawful entry
and search and that, if possible,
members O fthe masked and white
robed group be identified and
brought to justice"
She added that the Girl Scout
organisation believes that it's pro-
gram should be open to all girls
and, with the full support and
cooperation Of Southern members,
is endeavoring to extend member
ship to the Negro race"
The communication followed in
The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1948-06-29

During the three-day Fourth of
July holiday this year, there is a
chance of 10 smash-ups for every
mile Of highway in the United
States, according to the National
Safety council.
The council estimates that there
will be more than 100000 We
hicles driven by Negroes and
whites heading somewhere during
the Fourth of July weekend,
which means an average of about
10 vehicles for each o fthe g.
100000 miles Of streets and high
ways in the country. And where
ever there is a car there is a
chance for a wreck unless it is
operated safely.
The figures only emphasize the
tremendous amount of travel to
the council said. More cars on
be expected durin gthe holiday,
the road travelling more miles will
inevitably mean more accidents
unless there is more caution than
usual on the part o fthe motoring
public.

day Of tragedy for hundreds Of

and for more stop signals within
the city limits. Another way 10
attack it is to directly appeal to
the motorist to use a little more
common sense. That is what we
want to do here. We want to eau
ton Dayton drivers against TAX
ing unnecessary chances while
driving.
One of the stupidest chances a
driver can take, and we have seen
an innumerable number of drivers
take it, is to pass another car at
a busy intersection. This is a COM
mon practice at Germantown and
Summit streets where accidents
frequently. 1t was not so long ago
when a a passed another, stopped
at a railroad crossing only to run
directly in the path of a fast pas
senger train. Many drivers attempt
to pass others on busy highways
only to crash headlong into cars
coming in the opposite direction.
Speeding is perhaps the greatest
life taker in Dayton, as we'll as
nationally. Just about every two
months a young child is killed
along Germantown pike by speed
ing motorists. Euclid and Summit
streets between Fifth and German
town seems to be the delight of
speedsters. Every so often a car
travelling east and west will run
through without stopping, and
crash. This is how three were
killed at Euclid and Home avenue
this past winter. Whever there is
a dangerous crossing, minimum
speed and maximum caution
| should be used.
Drunk driving is another habit
| which should be broken if Day
ton is to show a better traffic

vasion of Camp Pauline Bray
Fletcher in Bessemer, Ala, last
Thursday evening when IL mask
ed white robed men searched white
staff members, Miss Elizabeth
Ijams and Miss Katrine Nickel,
and their personal belongings and
quarters. The men said they were

While the IL hooded men

slider how all this embarrasses
mel" No! l shouldn't be thinking
how I will look to my neighbors
if l take up the cause of these
young, to whom an ideal is more
precious than their own lives.
Judge PrOskauer Says -.
1 was glad to hear Judge Pros
kauer (he's the president of the
American Jewish Committee and
no Zionist, I believe) speaking
toward the same direction. He
said: eve are told by the anti
Semites, through malice, and by
some small section of American
Jewry, through confusion, that
this partition (of Palestine) has
created a problem of possible in
consistency between our obliga-
tions as Americans and Jews.
There is no such problem. Five
years ago our committee said:
There can be no political identi-
fication of Jews outside of Pales-
tine with whatever government
may be established in Palestine"
Yet Judge Proskauer could also
speak in favor of the repeal of
the arms embargo in order that
Jews in Palestine may have means
of defense; in favor of a UN force
to keep order in Palestine {.
'This is not merely a pro-Jewish

1 suggest that the American
Council for Judaism disband for
the duration of the crisis, or that,
anyway, it take up a new line.
It calls itself council FOR
Judaism but so far it has done
nothing at all for Jewish religion,
if interest in Jewish religion is
what it means when it says it is
FOR Judaism. l agree with it that
being Jew is religious, not ma
tional or political, identity. May
l suggest that the American
Council for Judaism make a new
start-FOR Judaism-toward a
revival of Judaism?
A Judaism, that is, which is
dynamic, not just an obligation
of paying dues to a synagogue
Judaism that will convert Jews
to flaming devotion to Jewish
ideals.
