Trumon Wonders
How He Escapes
Traffic Toll Blame

President Truman today ad-
vised his critics that they are
overlooking a bet in not blam-
ing the administration for the
Nations highway traffic toll.
Comparing traffic deaths
and injuries to casualties in
the Korean war, Mr.. Truman
told the Highway Safety
Conference:
Right here at home we kill
or permanently injure 1885,
900 people and there is no out
cry by the sabotage press, no
misstatements by the column
lists or the Congressional dem
agogues. And ! wonder why.
There is an opportunity for
every one of those fellows to
pick on the administration
and they ought to make use
Of it."

The proposal was contained in

Highway Accident Toll
Hurts Defense Effort,
Truman Tells Officials
Sheer Economic Waste
Is Similar to Sabotage,
Sofety Conference Told

President Truman declared to-
day that Americas highway safety
efforts have not kept pace with
the increase in travel and warned
that "a highway accident does just
as much damage to the defense ef-
fort as deliberate act of sabotage
by hostile agents"
He told 1000 safety officials here
for the annual Highway Safety
Conference at Constitution Hall
that $4,000 persons were killed and
more than / million injured in
highway accidents last year, as
compared with less than 10000
casualties from all causes in the
Korean fighting.
1--WE have been attempting to
stop an act of aggression in Korea
for the last year." he said. 1.-The
total casualties for the whole OPP
Grafton have been less than 10000
and that includes everything;
sickness and death in jeeps by ac-
cidents, killed on the front, cap
tured on the front, and wounded.
1t has been less than 10000 and
that means every kind of death
and injury that could take place
in the operation.
"N0 Outcry by Press"
"That is on the mind and tongue
of every citizen. but right here at
home we kill or permanently in
jure 1,035, 900 people and there is
mo outcry by the sabotage press,
mo misstatement by the column

'gogues."

Berlin Faciinq

Under New Ruling
BY the Assoeioted Press

BERLIN, June 13.-Ignoring Al
lied protests, the Russians turned
back hundreds of West Berlin ex-
port shipments today in a move
which threatened to become an
economic blockade of this Soviet
surrounded city.
Western Allied officials talked
of shutting off vital supplies to
East Germany in retaliation if the
Russians refused to yield.
But we are still hopeful" one
high American official said. 1--WE
are just sitting tight waiting for
a Russian reply to our protest"
The protest was against the new
Russian regulation requiring West
Berlin manufacturers to show the
origin of their strategic raw ma
terials before they can ship their
finished product through the Rus
sian zone to the west.
City Told to Refuse Data.
The United States, Britain and
France declared two days age
that the Russians had no right
to demand such information and
told the West German city gov
'ernment to refuse it.
Soviet authorities promptly re-
Ijected all export permits lacking
the information they demanded
and have SO far ignored an Allied
request for cancellation Of the
regulation.
American officials pointed out,
however, that it usually takes sew
|eral days for the Russians to
answer such a protest and ex-
pressed hope that. when the an
swer comes. 1t will be favorable.

Carver Defeats
Peorio, Bows To
Phoenix Union

The Carver Monarchs had little
trouble in downing a Well-coached
Peoria Panther quintet in chalking
up their sixth West-Central Con-
ference win of the season with a
6O-40 score. After leading the Phoe-
nix Union Coyotes, state Class A
league leaders, throughout most of
the first half, the Monarchs lost
their first intra-city contest on
January 18th, $3.50.
In the Peoria Carver January

over Peoria'S zone defense, the
Monarchs grabbed an 1872 first
quarter lead. Manuel Leyva and
Bill Compton shared scoring honors
for the invaders during the first
and second periods, but Peoria
trailed 24-33 at half-time.
Carver's second five traded
baskets with Peoria in the third

a 40-32 lead at the three-quarter
mark. Carver's first five, all SEN

ToIIeson, Peoria

The Carver Monarchs won pair
of West-Central District games last
weekend defeating Tolleson VOL
verines at Tolleson, 47-38, and
Peoria Panthers there 36-32.
The Carver-Tolleson fracas was
highlighted by clever ball-handling
by the Monarchs who for the first
time this season started with a re-
vised combination. Freshman
Charles Christopher, replacing
Jesse Jackson at center, fit like
glove on offense, but lacked the
defensive rebounding ability of
Jackson. The Monarchs led all the
way, including a 25-13 half-time
count. Bertrand Russell with 18
points was high scorer for the vic
tors. Stretch Quinonez was high
for the Wolverines with 9 points.
Saturday night, the Monarchs
coasted to a win over Peoria Pan
theirs zone. Russell and Redd were
high scorers for Carver with IL
and 10 points respectively. Redd
and Calvin Watkins turned in ex-
cellent passing games, along with
Carl Hammons, the Monarchs' ace
defensive player. Peoria's five point
squirt in the final 55 seconds against
the Monarch reserves highlighted
the Panthers' offensive efforts. The
Carver Jayvees won easy victories
over both Tolleson and Peoria's
