Gated today Egypt would Join

the personal impression of the

tori'y from the Egyptian view
point, Egypt would naturally con
slider such participation favorably.

posed that Egypt join the West in

The round. of talks came lust
one day after British Foreign Sec

Motorists Warned
To Use Special Care
As D. {. Schools Open

Traffic Director George E. Ke-
neipp has issued a warning to mo-
torists to be especially careful OF
children in the streets when school
starts tomorrow. There have been
1,023 personal injuries to children
during the first two-thirds of 1852
as against 908 during the same
period of 1851, he said.
While the number of accidents
to children in traffic has increased
during the first nine months OF
this year. he said seven children
have been killed in that time as
against nine for the same period
last year.
Motorists must adjust them
selves and their driving habits and
|expect more children on the
streets when school starts, the
traffic director said. The principal
cause of accidents to children to
the end of August this year. as in
previous years. was coming from
behind or in front of parked cars.
There were 258 such accidents
during the first eight months of
this year.
The second most common cause
|of accidents to children was not
crossing at the intersection. There
were 130 such violations.
The third was running across
the roadway. This killed or in
jured SIS children.
Proper cooperation between
parents and motorists can help
substantially in reducing this an
nual loss Of life and injuries to
young American lives" Mr.. Ken
Ieipp said.
