Gen. Anderson Urges
Safety Drive Step-Up
As Aid 10 Defense

A "stepped-up safety drive" as
an important part of the defense
program was urged here yester-
day at the annual meeting of
the National Committee for Traf-
fic Safety.
Gen. James A. Anderson, Vir-
ginia State Highway commits
sioner, told more than $50 per-
sons attending the meeting in
the Hotel Statler that the ris-
ing tide of accidents is seriously
impairing the economy and pro-
duction of the Nation.
Our heavy losses here at home
are inexcusable, he declared. "It
Is shocking to realize that $500
more civilians lost their lives on
our streets and highways during
the last six months of 1850 than
the total of 13,200 Americans
listed as dead or missing in ac-
ton in Korea during the same
period"
Sets Reckless Attitude.
Gen. Anderson said that $1,000
of last years $4,000 traffic fatali-
ties involved persons of military
or productive age, causing the
loss of 485,000 man-years of pro-
ductive work or military service
to the country.
War tensions have been in
ducing reckless attitudes-gener-
ating mass carelesSness in driv-
ing and walking" the commits
sioner warned.
The committee is a clearing
house for 86 national organiza-
tions working for greater high
way and street safety.
Studebaker Reelected.
The committee yesterday re-
elected DR.. John w. Studebaker,
former United States commits
sioner of education, to a second

GERS reelected were Mrs. George
Jaqua of Winchester, Ind, and
Lew E. Wallace of Chicago, vice
chairmen, and Paul H. Blaisdell

ton trophies to five individuals
and six organizations for per-
formance in the field of highway

Aid Bill Faces
Critical Test

WASHINGTON, Aug. l7.--tP)
The eight billion 500 million
dollar foreign aid program faces
d critical test in the House to-
day.
House Republicans have massed
strength behind a drive to cut
two billion dollars from the pro.
gram.
Democratic leaders are con-
fident they can blunt the drive,
but aren't sure they can prevent
all of the proposed cuts
Voting is due late today.
The two billion dollar COP
target includes 65l million al.
ready trimmed from the program
by the House foreign affairs com
mittee. The additional cut would
come out of both military and
economic aid, with Europe get
ting the heaviest trimming
about 900 million dollars.
Not all Republicans are in sym.
pathy with the drive for big re
auctions. And no attempt is ex,
pected to be made against the
proposed AIS million dollar aid
program for Greece and Turkes
or the O. million for South Am,
erican countries.
