Highest Traffic Toll
In 10 Years Expected
For 1851 Over Nation
BY the Assoeioted Press

CHICAGO. Dec. 3I.-The Ma
Ition's 1851 traffic death toll will
be the highest in 10 years, the
National Safety Council said
yesterday.
The council said it expects IA
talities this year to add up to
approximately 37,500.
That would be the fourth high
est total of lives lost in motor
vehicle accidents in United States
history.
1t would be exceeded only by
l941 with 5000 deaths, 1887 with
39.643 and 1886 with 38,089.
Danger Getting Worse.
This is the second consecutive
year to bring a sharp increase in
traffic Deaths" said Ned H. Dear
born, council president.
There's only one conclusion
streets and highways are getting
steadily more dangerous.
so during a high hazard
period, such as the New Years
holiday. the only way to insure
safety is to drive soberly and extra
cautiously"
November fatalities numbered
3,460, z per cent increase over
November. 1850.
The toll for the first II months
OF this year was 33,760, which
also was a z per cent gain.
The toll for the first II months
OF this year was 33.760, which also
was a seven per cent gain.
List Of Cities Given.
The council drew up a safety
list Of the three leading cities in
each population bracket. ranked
according to the number of trafic
deaths per 10000 registered be-
hicles through the first IL months
OF this year. The cities:

flares and we'll lay down mortar

anything too big, and don't let
them ambush you. Got that?"
Sergt Miller nodded and said,
"Yes, SIR" We all walked off,

Here and there we picked up a
man from another platoon to
make up the full patrol. We wore
white cotton snow suits over our

ANA President Blasts
Health Group Action

CHICAGO, Dec. 81 B. - The
president of the American Medical
Association today called President
Truman's appointment of a health
commission another fragrant pro-
posal to play politics with the
medical welfare of the American
people"
DR.. John w. Cline. ANA presi-
cent. issued a statement COM
Imenting on Mr.. Truman's an
lnouncement Of Saturday that he
had created a Commission on the
health needs OF the Nation"
In his statement DIR. Cline de-
Iclared:
This is q shocking attempt to
give White House sanction to the
Ebrazen misuse Of defense emer-
gency funds for a program Of
political propaganda. designed to
influence legislation and the out
come of the 1852 election.
There is no health emergency
in this country to require such an
investigation or to justify the use
|of defense emergency funds by
such a commission. The health
'of the American people never has
been better. as all competent au-
thorities know, and greater prog
ress Is being made In providing
prepaid medical care for all who
need or desire it than at any other
time in the Nations history"

u. S. May Be Starting to Build
Last of Mun-FIown Bonnbers


research laboratories.
The Air Force disclosed last
September 13 that its first opera
tional guided missile squadron,
using the Martin Matador pilot
less bomber" was being formed at
the Guided Missile Center, Cocoa
Fla.
Oficials then said the Matador
is similar In appearance to the
swept-winC XB-5i Martin Jet
fighter. but smaller. It is powered
with q single jet engine. The
squadron was to function first as
part of the Air Research and
Development Command, and will
later "be made combat-ready by
intensive unit training under the
supervision Of the Tactical Air
Command" the Air Force said.
One industry official. Robert E.
Gross. president of Lockheed Air
craft Corp, says we have a fine
start on the problem of guided
missiles but hastens to point out
the question Of guiding the mis-
siles is still a thorny one. He told
a group Of bank officials recently
that:
Its not hard to build just q
missile Of any range, long or short;
it's not too hard to build short
ranged guided missiles. But up to
now it's been awfully hard, II not
impossible, to build q long-range
guided missile. The long range
guidance system. not the missile
that's the key. And that's the
prize-what the race all over the
world is for-and we must and
we can win it.
In plain language, we must
have q guidance system that can
go beyond the horizon. How do you
bend a beam (an electronic beam
along which the missile rides)
around the curve Of the earth's
Isurface?"
. Target Selectivity Is Problem.
Mr.. Goss, Of course, was speak
ing of only one portion Of the
guidance problem. Even when q
missile arrives in the general area
Iof a distant target city, there is
the matter of providing it with
target selectivity" intelligence to
steer it into the final phase OF
its fight to the exact factory dis
trict or munitions depot area pre-
tscribed-not to something that
may merely appear like it to the
missiles electronic brain.
Also, far better maps are needed
when missiles are launched down
la range that may be four or five
thousand miles. Checks with radio
instruments and high-altitude
photography have shown that
even large cities of the world may
be ten or more miles off position
Ion the best maps.
| It may be that in warfare of
the future, the guided missile still
Iwill need help from the human
brain. Pilots in high. fling, long
range reconnaissance planes may
have to 60 out in advance over
the target to give the beam trans
mitters back home the exact posi-
ton. Then later she bomb carry
ing missile can find It's way to the
spot where its horizontal flight

ing beams and it noses down

BY Elton e. Fay

Assesiotsd Pres, M;iituY Affairs Reporter
The United States may be start
ing to build the last Of the man
flown bombers.
When these big planes reach
the obsolete age, q new generation
Of transoceanic guided missiles
and pilotless aircraft are expected
to be ready to take over the long
range aerial bombardment jobs.
But airmen familiar with plan
ming for the future told a repore-
er today that doesn't mean the
current new heavyweight bombers
viii be out Of date soon.
For one thing, a lot Of bugs
have yet to be worked out Of
guided missiles-like how to steer
them beyond the horizon and
make them blow up the right tar
get.
Two Jet Bomber Types.
The Air Force has two heavy
jet bomber type projects - the
Boeing B-52, the first model of
which is completed and under
going tests. and the Consolidated
Vultee B-60, the swept-wing. all
jet successor to the combination
piston-jet B-36, q prototype mod
el of which is approaching com
pletion.
There are several arguments ad-
vanced against keeping on build
ing bigger and bigger bombers,
including these:
/. Heavy bombers are getting
too costly in money. manpower
and materials.
2. Guided missiles, when inn
provements are attained in guid-
ance systems, can do everything
the heavy. strategic bomber does
lat less cost in manpower, mate
rails and perhaps. in a major war,
in money.
Using the B-52 as an example
military aviation officials make
these points:
AS combat planes go, it will last
Ia long time tperhaps FIVE or ten
years. because the aerodynamic
design Of the airframe appears
to be about the maximum that
can be expected. It is as stream
lined, as efficient for lift as the
drafting board men can make it
The airframe design will live
through several generations oi
engine design. Indeed, different
type engines may be used. In
different B-52s for different kinds
of missions.
The standard jets are growing
progressively more powerful and
faster. OF equal Importance, de-
lsigners are gradually cutting
down the fuel-thirst Of the en-
gines, getting more mileage out
lof them. In 1916, Jet engines
were producing about 4.00(
pounds Of thrust. Recently, il
La report to stockholders, Frede-
rick B. Rentschler, chairman o1

THE NOME NUGGET
Govt. Freezes Sale, Delivery of Hides


 WASHINGTON, REThe gov ernment today froze. until March 15 all sales of, and deliveries of cattle hides, calfskins and kips. The step was taken pending estab- lishment of government controls to assure military supplies
 The National Production Au- thority, which issued the order, said it applies to priority orders for the. armed forces as well as other purchases. -.i
 But NPA said the action will not curtail current output of shoes, luggage and other goods, because of the time lag-usual1y about two months-required for tanning and processing raw hides for manufacturing purposes
 The government previously had rolled -back the prices of hides.
