Average Traveller
Dies of Old Age,
mot in Accident
By the Assoeiefsd Press

CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-Whether
you travel by car, bus, train OF
plane, you can bank on a safer
trip today than in the past-if
you have average luck.
The death rate from accidents
| for all these forms Of transporta-
ton has been declining steadily
over the years.
But what's the safest way to
travel?
Assuming your luck is average,
statistics show you could devote
full time to travelling by any OF
these modes of transportation and
still die Of old age.
But passenger trains are the
safest, safety records for 194a
show. They had a death, rate OF
only .13 per 100.000.000 pas
senger miles. Buses rank second
with a rate of, .18, followed by
scheduled air transport planes
with 1.3. Passenger cars and taxis
are the worst, with rate Of 81
A passenger mile means one
passenger travelling one mile. For
example, the 1948 auto passenger
mile death rate means you could
travel about 100000 miles In
your car before expecting your
number to come up.
The air transport rate of 1.3
means you could fly about 75.000.-
900 miles before expecting to be
killed in a crash. Airplanes carry
large payloads Of passengers and
their crashes often result in
multiple deaths-but that won't
affect your mathematical chances.
Assume, for example. that a
plane averaging 80 passengers on
its runs crashes and all pas
|sengers are killed. To maintain
the rate of 1.3 deaths per 100.-
000, 900 passenger miles, that plane
would have had to travel 1885,
900 900 passenger miles before the
fatal crash.
That many passenger miles
means each passenger would have
travelled 100000 actual miles.
A train passenger could count
on 770, 900 900 non-fatal miles and
q bus passenger on $4,000, 900
miles under the 1948 safety show
ings.

The raveIer's Notebook
Resort Airlines Back With 'Suncruises'

Vacationers have not heard
much about Resort Airlines in the
last few years. Seldom do they
interest themselves in such things
as behind -the-scenes fights in the
tourism and travel industry. They
are intrigued primarily (tell me II
I'm wrong) by learning OF the va
cations, resorts and trips that are
available, and the prices. So they
sort of lost track Of Resort when
it was battling its way up again
into the flying vacation" a1rlanes'
Now it is back with the idea the
public glimpsed briefly in the sum-
mer of 1946 and 1947. The plan,
greatly expanded, is geared now
to Caribbean winter vacations.
Recreational travellers Of the
Washington area might well have
learned of Resort Airlines origi-
nally in those first two postwar
summers from the travel pages of
The Star. A new type of vacation
was offered. a 'packaged" ALEX
pense air tour of outstanding re-
sorts and scenic attractions
throughout the United States. A
story or two told about it. A pic
ture of one Of Resorts DC-3s used
in making the 1916 western Won
derlands" skycruises also was pub
lished to acquaint tourists with
this vacation novelty.
Resort Airlines then more or less
faded out of holidayers' conscious
ness. Briefly, it can be said that
the idea of an airline catering
primarily to recreational travel,
overlapping many of the major
direct-route airlines but Offering
a different type Of service, was
protested to the Civil Aeronautics
Board. Resorts skycruises became
a memory. But, finally. on last
Sundays Star travel pages, ap-
peared an ad with Resorts latest
offerings in packaged air vaca-
tions. In the meantime. Resort S
president, Lewis c. Burwell, jr.,
had won his fight for a CAB
certificate. It is the one airline
licensed to operate only this type
Of tour.
Washington in on Plan. Re-
sorts new "Suncruises" have been
worked out with Thos. Cook g.
Son handling the land arrange
ments in the many countries the
planes will touch-hotel accom-
modations, sightseeing and other
shore activities. And such winter
time travel-lands as the Bahamas,
the Virgin Islands, Mexico, Jamai-
ca and Curacao are included in
today's choices.
Cruises will vary in length from
seven to % days. starting from
New York, Philadelphia and
Washington. The shorter cruises
will be operated on a daily basis
from New York, Washington and
Miami, while the longer ones will
be scheduled weekly or biweekly.

guests. Is set for December II.

line to another. were q novelty in
1946 for those who were not
wealthy enough to charter a plane
for a special itinerary. Resort
Airlines stressed the fact that only
about 10 per cent Of skycruise
time was devoted to actual flying.

NO LIQUOR GEAR YET

 This Bill, probably more controversial than future liquor measures will be, failed to get by the House where it was introduced last week. when by a vote of le to 5 it was indefinitely postponed yesterday afternoon.
 Future liquor bills, it is said will include a Gen. eral Territorial Constabulary Bill which will include in it's purposes the enforcement of liquor regulations and possibly Wholesale Liquor Law which would put the Territory into the liquor business
