11% Decrease Shown
In Districts 1852
Traffic Fatalities

The District showed an II per
cent decrease in traffic fatalities
for 1852 under 1851, the Ma
tional Safety Council today an
nounced. It gave the 1852 toll
over the Nation as $4,000 killed
81 million injured and $8.3 bill
lion in property damage. for all
accidents. Motor vehicles alone
caused $4,000 deaths.
The council said the District
had 20 traffic deaths per 10000
registered vehicles. This COM
pared with San Francisco 2.5 and
Cleveland 3.8 in the cities Of 750,-
600 to ! million population.
The Accident Investigation
Unit of the Metropolitan Police
Department here recalled there
were IS traffic deaths in 1852
compared with 68 in 1851.
Exceeds Korean Toll.
The National Safety Council
said the 1852 accidental death
toll on the home front was four
times as great as the toll of
American dead on Korean bat
tlefields. It declared one out
of every 16 persons in the United
States suffered disabling in
jury last year, but said motor
vehicles and other public acci-
dents were responsible for most
Of the increase. Virginia showed
a per cent traffic toll drop and
Maryland had 3 per cent de-
cline.
The council pointed out the
motor vehicle was the Number
One killer, causing $4,000 deaths
TOO more than in 1851 and the
fourth largest in history. Home
accidents caused 29,500 deaths
an increase Of 500 over the pre-
vious year. Occupational deaths
were cut from 10000 to $4,000
the council explained. Traffic
deaths showed a gain of 2 per
cent over 1851 and the highest
total since 1941, but there were
more cars.
Toll In Two Disasters.
Two disasters cost SO or more
lives each-the March tornadoes
in Mississippi Valley states and
the military plane crash in De-
cember near Moses Lake, Wash
But the council pointed to
the brighter side of the picture
The overall death total was well
below the banner figure of co.
579 for 1947. It said the 1852
all-accident death rate of GIG
per 100000 population was the
third lowest rate on record.

organizing government are two
different matters, however, and
Pentagon reorganization would
take months and months. Too,
when the Republicans finally get
settled the routine military
chores still will be tended to
mostly by the great army of
Civil Service workers that toll
along no matter who is in the
drivers seat until there's a cut
in appropriations or a complete
reorganization.
There are two schools Of
though as to the part President
Eisenhower will take in running
the sprawling military establish
ment. One is that because he is
a former general long familiar
with Pentagon workings he will
want to have a heavy hand in
policy and strategy and will be
actually secretary.
The other is that, also because
he is a former general, he
learned through a long military
career to delegate authority and
problems and attend only to
large matters. The latter seems
to prevail in most quarters.
Check Spending Program.
The first big task facing the
President and his Defense Off
cials is the $40 billion military
spending program for the next
fiscal year submitted by former
President Truman. It is expected
they will want to review that
program closely.
Gen. Eisenhower has said
military spending could be cut
by eliminating waste. Military
manpower is expected to come in
for close scrutiny. It now takes
some 10000 men for each of the
approximately 95 Air Force wings
in existence and this manpower
requirement has come in for
some criticism. The largest
number Of planes in any wing is
IS, the smallest number 80. The
Army has boaSted that behind
every man with a gun are Is men
in uniform" and Congressional
committees have contended this
figure also could be reduced.

The District Issues
Proposals to End Segregation Here in Past
Have FIoundered on Simple Question: How?

FTSSlQeuG EISENHOWER pro"
posal to end segregation in the
Nations Capital faces the same
obstacles all past efforts in that
direction have met.
He will have to determine:
/. just what legislation is
necessary to bring about the
change.
2. How to convince Congress
the legislation should be passed.
Appeals Inevitable.
Even if laws are passed by
Congress to effect such a sweep
ing change in the segregation
pattern here, appeals to the
courts are seen as inevitable.
Gen. Eisenhower could ask
Congress to pass a law abolish
ing segregation in the District
school system, admittedly the
cornerstone of racial segregation
in the city. Or he could ask
Congress to establish compulsory
standards of fair employment
practice for the District or to
outlaw segregation.
It has been suggested by some
groups that he eliminate racial
segregation here by executive
order. The belief has been ex-
pressed that this is not within
the power of the President.
The dual school system is the
most CONSPICUOUS sign of segre-
CATION in the District. The courts
have held this system was estab-
lished by act of Congress. The
Supreme Court now is consider
ing cases which would test the
constitutionality of the dual
school system here and in a
number of States.
While the school situation is
bound by law, the segregated
pattern throughout the District
is not.
Segregation Fades.
In the last five years, Signifi-
cant changes have taken place.
Some resulted from pressure
from militant groups, others
through a gradual change in the
attitude of residents here.
Job opportunities for Negroes
have increased, particularly in
the Federal government where
an executive order by President
Truman directed appointments
on merit alone. The District
government has been slow in fol-
lowing the lead, however, except
in the cases of schools and the
police and fire departments.
Conceivably, Presidential
executive order might be used to
establish fuller employment
rights in the District govern
ment.
The 1948 ruling by the Su-
preme Court that restrictive
covenants in housing could not
be enforced has relieved to some
extent the preSsures against
Negroes buying homes. The
three legitimate theaters here
have no racial ban now. and a
handful of movie theaters also
no longer practice discrimina-
tion.
Recreation Opening.
In recreation, the Federal
parks and Fairgrounds are open
to all. The District Fairgrounds
are being integrated slowly
under policy adopted several
years ago by the District Recre-
alton Board.
Restaurants and hotels will
stick pretty much to racial seq
regation. But more than so eat
ing places allow Negroes now.
The hotels have conceded that
Negroes may attend predon1i-
nantly white functions. but still
hold to racial lines as a policy.
The celebrated Thompson Res
taurant case-an attempt to re-
vive ancient laws banning seq
regation in bars and restaurants
lis headed to the Supreme
Court. The United States Court
of Appeals for the District of
Columbia recently ruled the
laws were not in effect.

Lack of size seems to be the
main complaint, as usual, about
Chesapeake Bay fishing.
Hardhead and spot, plus
some white perch, are at all
the usual places, or at most of
the usual places anyway, but
most of the fish are so young
they shouldn't leave their
mothers.
There's a smattering of good
news, though. The boys who
fish Eastern Bay are claiming
big spot, and some trout. Also
rockfish are beginning to show
in numbers around Solomons.
That the trout are starting
to come in is heartening. Not
many as yet, only from one to
six per boat, but it's an indica-
ton fishing is one the upgrade.
These trout were caught while
angling for those big spot
around Sharpe Island and the
mouth of the Choptank River.
Eastern Bay continues with
good rockfish reports, good in
numbers, that is. Plenty of pan
rock up to 3 pounds are re-
ported in the Poplar Island
area, but nobody is claiming to
catch the big ones. The rock
are caught both cumming and
trolling.
Sports anglers coming back
from Eastern Bay are COM
planning once again about the
commercial men. The METERS
hang around the mouth of the
bay, and when a school of rock
surfaces, presto, the nets are
out and the fishing ruined.

The SolomonS situation looks
good. One boat, captained by
Orvie Davis, who fishes out of
Leon Langley's dock. brought
back 180 rockf1sh from a chum-
ming trip out around Cedar
Point. These fish were in the
pan-size class, up to 3 pounds.
That's a fine catch and with one
or two more like it the fishing
business at Solomons really will
improve.
The best place for spot at
Solomons right now seems to be
just inside of Drum Point.
One good thing about fishing
out of SolomonS is the variety
of places available. If the bay
is rough, you always can run
around the corner to Point Pa
tience on the Patuxent, or even
further upstream.

Lower Potomac reports and
those from the bay area between
the mouths of the PatuXent and
