u. 5. Chamber Favors
Placing Foreign Aid
In Single Program
BY the Associated Press

The United States Chamber Of
Commerce says that future aid to
foreign nations should be handled
in single program under which
help can be extended ION a fex-
ible basis to any part of the
world"
The chamber said In a state
ment last night that present pro-
grams are not sufficiently unified,
resulting in a waste of money and
some duplication of effort.
1t said, for example, that the
Economic Cooperation Admins
tration is carrying on in South
east Asia the same type Of tech
nical assistance which the Point
Four" program authorized by
Congress last August is supposed
to handle.
The chamber said a large cut in
economic aid to Western Europe is
now in order.
"It is clear that the economic
rehabilitation of Western Europe
is virtually complete" it said.
Nevertheless continuation Of
limited aid on some basis and on
some scale may possibly be JUS
titled"
The statement was prepared by
the chambers Foreign Commerce
Committee headed by Richard L.
Bowditch, president of C. H.
Sprague & Son Co., Boston.
The report said future aid
should keep in mind the economic
objectiveS of United States foreign
policy. Among these it mentioned
1.-The elimination of discriminatory
trade practices aimed at United
States products and the restora-
ton of free convertibility of cur

Train Crash Boosts
Holiday Death Toll
To New High Of t95
By the Associated Press

The Nation counted a record
breaking number of accidental
deaths over the Thanksgiving
holiday.
A crash on the Long Island
Railroad Thanksgiving eve, killing
II persons, was the main factor
in boosting the toll to a new high
for the holiday.
A survey showed death toll of
1875, surprising last years record
high of 181. It also was far ahead
of the ia accidental deaths in
1948; 1913 in 1947 and SO in 1946.
SO Die in Traffic.
Traffic accidents this year took
the lives of 80 persons-as COM
pared to a record 123 on Thanks
giving Day last year. But the
collision of two jammed trains on
Long Island brought up the toll.
In addition, there were 29. other
fatalities listed under miScella-
neous causes - shootings, fires,
drownings and other causes.
The survey covered a period
from 6 pm. Wednesday to mid
night Thursday. 1t included only
persons killed instantly or dying
of injuries suffered in accidents
during those hours.
The Nations traffic deaths for
the first nine months this year
totaled 24,580, or 80 every "a
hours. These figures included
deaths occurring as long as
months after the accidents in
which the victims were injured.
