Director OF Vehicles ond Traffic
Sixty million Americans can't
be wrong.
And that's the number Morris
de Vol of the American Automo-
bile Association estimates took to
the roads last year on a glorified
travel spree.
These so million motorists in 20
million cars rolled up $50 billion
passenger miles, spent Sc billion
on the way-and set a record.
That's the happy side of the
travel picture. Unfortunately
there's another aspect.
ON the single holiday week end
of last Labor Day 40 persons lost
their lives in traffic. That toll set
a record, too.
Rural death rates in traffic run
high. On a mileage basis the rate
in these sections last year was
about 1913, or more than twice the
urban rate Of So.
In urban areas deaths from
pedestrian accidents and two
motor vehicle accidents accounted
for almost three e-fourths of the
traffic deaths. In rural areas
deaths from collisions between
two or more vehicles and non-
collision accidents-most of which
involved running off the road
constituted hree-quarters of all
the traffic fatalities.
big Three" Violations.
According to the National Safety
Council. the "big three" violations
leading to fatal accidents in rural
areas last year were speeding go
per cent?, driving on the wrong
side of the road Q2 per cent? and
driving under the influence of
alcohol (l2 per cent?.
| In the case of the average city
I -dweller' who plans one or two
motor trips each year, certainly
one of the causes leading to these
violations lies in his inability or
unwillingneSs to switch from city
to country driving habits.
The temptation to step on the
gas when greeted with an open
stretch of road after driving
through congested city traffic, is
a good example of failure to
make this adjustment to new
driving conditions.
Speed on a country road is more
likely to end in a fatal accident
than speed on a city street. Last
year, this type of violation was
involved in one out of every three
fatal accidents reported in the
Nation.
Evening star., 1950-04-23
Auto Travel Deaths T raced
To 3 PRINCIPAL Violations

Modern cars and highways can
act as a sedative on the driver
where high speeds are concerned.
On an open stretch of good road
it seems natural and harmless to
cruise along at 10 miles per hour.
But it isn't.
A speeding Car isn't easy to con-
troll. If you're travelling at so miles
an hour, you must travel 1856 feet
between the time you see an OBJ
ject and the time you actually
stop.
Driving on the wrong side of
the road-the second violation in
rural areaS-was attributed to
nine out of every 100 drivers in
volved in fatal accidents last year.
In many instances, this viola
ton can be chalked up to relaxa-
ton on the part of the driver. The
desire to spread out" after travel
ing in narrow city traffic lanes,
however, is a dangerous practice.
Another cause lies in the failure
of the driver to return to the
proper side of the road after pass
ing another car.
This particular habit of driving
on the wrong side of the road,
according to statisticians, is more
likely to result fatally than any
other non-pedestrian type of &C
cident.
Alcohol Toll Heavy.
Driving under the influence of
alcohol-the last of the big three"
violations in rural areas-involved
IL per cent of the drivers involved
in fatal accidents. In urban areas
the figure for the same violation
was 4 per cent.
Other violations leading to acci-
dents in rural sections are failure
to yield the right of way and dis
regard for traffic control devices.
Since the first Presidents High
way Safety Conference in 1916,
great strides have been made to-
ward uniformity in highway signs,
signals and markings. Eventually,
it is hoped that all of these will be
standardized to the extent that
confusion on the part of the mo-
torist will be eliminated. When
this is accomplished, 1t should be
possible for one to drive from
Washington to San Francisco
without seeing several different
types of stop, warning and other
signs.
Can Lose d. c. License.
One of the procedures with
which many motorists are unfa-
miliar deals with a reciprocal sys-
tenn of revocation and suspension
Of drivers permits.
For example. if District resi-
dents permit is revoked or sus-
pended in another State for a vio-
lation of the regulations, that in
formation is forwarded to District
authorities who, after review, may
revoke or suspend the motorists S
District permit.
Almost every phase connected
with motoring has made startling
advancements in the past quarter
of century. Good roads, we'll
constructed vehicles. better legis-
lation, enforcement and education
have all contributed to this i'm
provement. The driver alone re-
mains unchanged. Yet, it takes
only common sense with a dash of
caution added to make a safe
driver.
On your next motor trip, we ask
you to drive carefc;ly, for "the
life you save may be your own

Controllers Congress
To Tackle Problem OF

By Doncld B. Hodley

The fair-haired boys OF retailing
will gather in Washington tomor-
row for the opening Of the 3oth
controllers congress Of the Ma
tional Retail Dry Goods ASSccia-
ton at the Statler.
More than $50 delegates. a rec
ord number, will be in q serious
mood because costs have pinched
retail profitS. despite LARGE sales
volumes. and the controllers are
expected 70 do something about il.
Controllers groups from every
large city in the Nation will be
armed with ideas threShed out at
the local level. They will take part
in four days OF conferences and
round tables on methods TO reduce
costs without impairing services
or efficiency OF their stores.
There was q time when profits
could be lacked up simply by in
creasing volume. but that is risky
now. unless costs are analyEed sci-
entif1cally in advance. That Is
where the controller comes in. He
is key man in retailing today.

ey the Associated Press

NEW YORK. June 10-The
Stock Market rallied after a bad
mauling this week. Not only were
early losses recovered but a sub
stantial gain on the week was
negotiated.
During Monday and Tuesday
morning more than 81 billion was
whacked off the market value of
all stocks listed on the exchange.
At the final bell Friday the mar
ket showed a net gain of more
than 81 billion.
The weeks market was notable
for several reasons:
1.-Insistent demand for blue
chip stocks. issues carrying the
markets highest rating.
2.-The ability of the market
to snap out of severe slump with
no apparent effort.
3.-The sensational behavior of
General Motors and Chrysler.
Closed High.
The market closed Friday at the
highest level, measured by the
Associated Press average of so
stocks, in almost exactly four years.
The advance was achieved after
one Of the most dramatic weeks in
the exchange that Wall Street
has seen for long time.
Monday the decline was orderly
but it was one of the worst of the
year. Nothing in particular ac-
counted for a heavy flow of SELL
ing-experts in the financial dis
trict shrugged it off as long
overdue adjustment in a market
that had been. rising without Sc
rious interruption for nearly a
year. ~
Tuesday started off calmly
enough except for sharp rise in
General Motors. The advance in
GM' was natural sequence to
news announced after the close
Monday that the company's
board had proposed to split the
stock on the basis of two shares
for one.
But around II o'clock selling
orders poured in from all quar-
ters. Even GIN was pulled down
from its perch.
