Moslem countries to join in saw

Twelve pillars of the tomb have

Traffic Death Rate Cut
As Accidents Soar 10
Postwar High Here

washington motorists piled up a
postwar high in traffic accidents
during 1850, statistics released by
the Metropolitan Police Depart

that the traffic fatality rate
dropped to a record low. The rate
for all accidents compared with
miles driven also dropped, Mr..
Keneipp said.

Homers Win Game

Over Washington
Zernidl Hits 18th
Homer Of Yeur Off
Relief Pitcher
Joe Hoynes

NEW YORK, June 3O-(P)-
Home runs by Gus Zernial and
Eddie JooSt and steady hurting by
Sam Zoldak gave the Philadel-
phia Athletics a 3 to 2 victory ov-
er Washington in the first game
of twi-night doubleheader.
Joost's blow, his eleventh of
the season, came off starter Bob
Porterfield who had to leave in
the first inning because of a sore
back. After Joost's round tripper,
Elmer Valo tripled and later scor-
ed on an infield out to give the
AS a quick 2 to advantage.
Zernial hit his home run, his
18th, in the third inning off re-
lief pitcher Joe Haynes.
Washington solved Zoldak for
single runs in the eighth and
ninth innings but the former Gle
veland Lefty frightened up to re-
cord his second victory of the
year.
Porterfield, making his second
start since traded to Washington
by the Yankees, took the loss.

Injuries Rise
Third Quarter

w n - II ~ " Il " ~, O.O. -
Work-injury rates in manufac-
turing have shown constant
upward trend during the first
three quarters of 1850, accord
ing to preliminary reports re-
ceived by the u. S. Labor De-
partment's Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics.
The average injury frequency
rate for manufacturing indus
tries was 2 percent higher in the
first quarter of 1850 than in the
fourth quarter of 1949. The rate
for the second quarter of 1850
was 4 percent above that for the
first; and that for the third was
IL percent above the second.
Part of the increase in the third
quarter was seasonal, but the
rise this year was the largest re-
corded for any similar period
during the past 2 years for
which quarterly data are avail
able.
This upward movement of in
jury rates during the first Q
months of 1850 represents q
complete reversal of the down
ward trend which prevailed dur
ing the previous 3 years. Al
though the rate for the first
quarter of 1850 was IL percent
below that for the correspond
ing period in 1949, the rate for
the third quarter was percent
above that for the same period
of last year. This increase in in
jury rates appears to reflect the
rising employment, heightened
wOrkweek, and intensified in
dustriak operations which were
associated with the increased
civilian production during the
first half of the year and de-
fense preparation during the
third quarter.
Over 100000 workers in man.
ufacturing establishments were
disabled for one or more days
because of work injuries ex-
perienced during the third quar-
ter of 1850. This was an in
crease of Is per cent over the es-
innate for the Serond quarter,
and Is percent over that for the
third quarter of 1949. OF the to-
tai number disabled, over 400
died as a result of their injuries
and 5,400 others are known TO
have suffered some permanent
body impairment.
Significant increases in in
jury-frequency rates were re-
corded for over half of the 123
separate industry classifications
for which comparable data was
The greatest frequency-rate
increase was in the sawmin in
