ACCIDENTS:
100000 Deaths

Possibly the most shocking set Of
statistics compiled year in and year
out in the U. S. is that dealing with
the nations accidental death rate.
In 1947. National Safety council
has disclosed. about 100000 persons
died accidentally. The full accident
toll was approximately 1000 deaths
higher than in 1916.
Accidents in the home accounted
for a majority Of all the deaths list
ed by the council. There were 81, 500
such fatalities. The total also in

cupational deaths.
Some of the other facts released
in the annual report:
More people died in disasters last
year than in 1946-550 in the stu
pendous Texas City explosion, 167 in
a Texas-Oklahoma tornado, Ill in
the Centralia, ILL.,. mine blast, and
1913 in airplane crashes.
Total Of 10000 deaths resulted
from rural traffic accidents, while
city traffic accidents accounted for
1l.400 fatalities.

NEW LOW:
Bitterness

While American, British and
French ambassadors in Moscow
were grimly making peace talk
with Soviet Foreign Minister Molo-
TOW in the Kremlin, general relations
between the East and West were
sliding to new depths of mutual re-
elimination.
This state of affairs was not eased
any by unsubstantiated reports that
the Moscow talks had degenerated
into deadlock and that no progress
was being made.
For the most part, however, the
animosity was being spread through
raucous propaganda by Berlin
newspapers, with the publications
sponsored by the Russians and the
western powers waging pitched
battle Of words.
The British-licensed paper Tele-
graaf reported that the Soviets were
getting ready to move great num-
bers of new troops into Germany
and that Russia was pressing to-
ward sole rule over all Of Berlin"
Soviet propaganda instruments,
meantime, renewed their overall
attacks on the West, demanding
that the Berlin city council be GUST
ed and that the whole city be made
part of the Soviet zonal administra-
ton.
Regardless Of any truth implicit
in the Berlin newspaper fight it was
obvious that the vindictive battle
would do much more harm than
good to relations between the two
power spheres.
1t was equally obvious that there
was more bitterness and fear at
work in Berlin than there was a
rational understanding Of how to
cope with the crisis.

.CONFUSION:
And Spies

Americas current top thriller, the
Russian spy sensation, had devel-
oped more facets than a cylindrical
lens in a lighthouse and each one
was binding to the eye Of the be-
holder.
The motley group Of persons called
to testify before congressional in
vestigating committees was grow
ing and growing. 1t was getting to
the point where even the witnesses
had witnesses.
A sensational offshoot of the orig
inal spy investigation temporarily
stole the spotlight from the main
event. This was the battle of the
Observation-Disclosures I. Samarin
and Mrs. Oksana Stepanovna Ko-
senkina, both U. N. personnel.
The goings on over this pair OF
Russian pedagogues seemed to be
fairly complicated, but they could
be boiled down to sophisticated
international game of run sheep
run.
Both Samarin and Mrs. Kosenk-
ina had appeared on the scene as
potential witnesses in the congress
sional investigation. Then things
started to happen.
First Mrs. Kosenkina disappeared
for a few days. According to the
official Soviet version, she had been
captured by a group Of anti
Communist White Russians and
held prisoner. Then she was res
cued" by loyal U. S. S. R. SUBJ
jects. A few days later she leaped
from window in the third story
of the Soviet consulate in New York
where, she said, she had been held
captive. Driven to desperation by
fear, she was seriously injured when
she took the only way out.
On top of all this the other school
teacher, Samarin, also disappeared.
He. too, was supposed to be in Gus
tody of anti-Commie White Rus
SLAMS. However, information leaked
out from the Samarin camp: He
wanted to testify; he liked the U. S.
and revolted against going back to
Russia.

that are gone forever.
Perhaps you can place her in some
quiet hotel where she will feel her
pride and independence still pre-
served. Then some day make full
confession of your old sin. / don't
know Annie, but I know her type,
and I believe she will be as gener.
Gus in this as she always has been
generous in everything.
In doing this you have the
chance for which so many of us
long, when years have brought
us a better sense of values and
of our own personal moral re-
sponsibility in the big scheme of
things. 1t doesn't come to every
one, so make the most of it.
If some day Annie is happy with
her own pleasant room and bath, a
scrap of garden and little money
on which to draw. it will be your
privilege to make that happiness
complete by telling her honestly
that everything you do for her is
only interest upon the old and shame
full debt.
Leona may have to sacrifice some
of her self-pride when she makes
the confession to Annie but the in
herent glow of righteous satisfac.
ton she will receive as the result
of clearing her conscience will more
than compensate for her discom-
future.
One of the things we learn with
wears is that moral law is not con-
structed by grim-jawed old puritans,
merely to annoy and hamper us.
Peace of mind is the most valuable
thing in the world and obedience to
the law when one is young, restless,
unsatisfied and ambitious is the only
road to peace of mind later on.

YOUTH MONTH:
AUQreneSS

A,Uareness
II the day should ever dawn when
every family in the nation becomes
fully aware that all juvenile delin-
quency has its beginning in the
home, then U. S. society will have
reached its Elysian fields.
Once families become endowed
with this awareness they will tend
to bring pressure to bear to elimi-
nate the secondary factors that con-
tribute to delinquency in young peo-
pie: School failure, church failure,
bad housing and the inevitable shift
in ethical values from one genera
ton to the next which are some
times confusing and frightening to
immature minds.
To that end. and because a
healthy store Of young minds and
bodies is the best overall insurance
any nation can have, September
has been proclaimed Youth Month.
The Theater Owners of America.
who feel they have a big stake in
the welfare Of U. S. youth, have
undertaken to organize the princi-
pal media of information-neWsp
pers, magazines, radio and motion
pictures-to publicize the month.
Aside from the publicity to be &C.
corded the problem of juvenile de-
linquency, which is the immediate
purpose of Youth Month, the obServ-
ance is more deeply significant in
that it provides some evidence that
Americans are becoming actively
conscious that at least a partial
remedy must be found.
Springboard for Youth Month and
any other concerted group action
that might obtain is probing and
thoughtful report on juvenile delin-
quency by the National Conference
on Prevention and Control of Ju-
venile Delinquency, Washington,
D. C..
A digest of this report, or series
of panel reports, covering basic
causes and possible solutions of the
problem, is well worth few hours
study on the part Of every parent
who is aware of his inevitable fall
bilties as a guide and leader Of his
children.

work for farm gluts that would be
followed by costly subsidies in the
form Of farm price supports.
Should another year Of heavy
crop yields follow this one. and
should there be a recovery OF agri-
culture abroad, tremendous sur
pluses in grains would result. Thus,
U. S. taxpayers would stand to lose
in the cost Of price supports
good deal Of what they might save
