Another Chinese Catholic, who
was a good e. rgineer, was offered
a job by the Communist party,
assuring him of a good living for
his family if he would give up
the Faith. NO" he said, Il
would rather carry on like st.
Joseph with lowly work for the
sake of Christ" He is now a
street coolie in Peiping.
A Catholic Chinese woman UNI
der great torture and inprlson-
ment gave up the Faith. She then
repented and went to the market
place md with arms outstretch-
ed in the form of a cross, asked
all who passed by, even the Com
munists, 20 forgive her for the
scandal she had given.
A Catholic wife saw her hus-
band arrested because he refused
to tell where a priest was hiding.
AS he was led from the door,
she comforted him with these
words: 'Do not let fears about
my future make you waver in
your Faith when they torture
you. DO your duty to the Church.
If God gi"es me two crosses TO
bear. He will also give me the
strength to AIRY them"

During the war, the Cadet
Nurse Director, who had put
herself through college and
nursing school on a 1900
loan, helped put across a re-
cruiting campaign that ct
tracted 160, 900 nurses in
three years. She learned
that a surprising number of
the Nations LOO nurse-train-
ing institutions were sadly
wanting in facilities. The
second campaign she spear
headed after the war resulted
in better schools.
Many Of the programs she
now develops are aimed at
helping more nurses become
better skilled in advanced
therapies like radioactive
medication, heart surgery,
cancer treatment and care of
atomic injuries.
Admiral Leone, whose doc
trine that '.the nurse nurses

whose advice to treat the

and the staff of the Motor We

partment charged by law with
helping Washington motorists

It is this:
l. Throw a ring of stable
lots around the city, no closer
than two miles to the area
bounded by Massachusetts and
Constitution avenues, Twenty
third and Second streets NV.
Place each lot near such traffic
bottlenecks as bridges or points
where several major thorough
fares converge.
2. Let the use of the lots be

In the automobile business
one of the biggest and strangest
endeavors in the American econ
omy-the whole seems to be less
than the sum of it's parts. at
least as far as this years pros
poets are concerned.
Last year, the motor indus
try produced 6,121.787 passenger
cars, and the sales end of the
business disposed of about 6
million. There were 100000 1852
models left over to be sold in
1858. and the industry ended the
SO sales year with about 100000
units still carried on inventory
This was the industry's second
biggest year for volume and its
biggest for financial gain.
Industry Wide there seems to
be agreement that 1854 will not
see as many new cars come
off the assembly lines as were
produced last year. The best
Detroit guess admittedly on the
optimistic side) is So million
passenger models.
Generally speaking. the auto
mobile dealers, the men respon-
sible for putting cars in the hands
of customers, feel even this esti-
mate is a figure seen through
somewhat tinted spectacles.
But leaving the dealers out of
it for a minute, the So million
estimate is where the arithmeti-

AS Washington's steadily
worSening traffic congestion
further aggravates parking con-
ditions. city officials are turning
hopefully to an old remedy
fringe parking.
When last tried five years ago
fringe parking proved a conspic-
uous failure. But post-mortems
today show to the satisfaction
of many ranking analysts that
the dosage then was all wrong.
Officialdom, in any case, is
especially emphatic on one
point. Fringe parking alone is
not a cure-all. This type Of
development must go hand in
hand with the expansion of
privately operated facilities in
the downtown area itself.

Demand InevitobIyIs Supplied;

The fact is. enough Americans
in the last five or six years have
seen or heard so much about
sports cars that they are now

It has taken some time but

for an American sports car.

fatality Rate Per Mile
Al New Low DESPITE
81, 300 Deaths in 50
By Jacques FutrelIe, Jr.

There is both encouragement
and shock in the official figures
of traffic casualties in the United
States for 1858, recently re-
leased.
1t is small comfort to the kin
of the $4,000 who died in high
way and street accidents last
year. But had traffic deaths con-
tinued at the rate reached in the
early 1930s, the Nation would
have counted about 10000 killed
last year alone.
Thus there is an encouraging
side: Pedestrians and motorists
are getting smarter in the
protection Of their own lives
and the lives of others.
Rate at All-Time Low.
Translated into terms of the
traffic fatality rate, data COM
piled by the National Safety
Council show that motor age
deaths have been reduced to
an estimated Z for each 100
million miles travelled. This rate,
reduced from 7.3 in 1852 and
76 in 1851, is an all-time record
low
The figures tend to substan-
tate the position taken by the
American Automobile Associa-
ton and other motoring organi-
cations that, despite the in
creases in, total fatalities each
year. the forces at work to mar
row the crop that death reaps
are gaining ground
Nevertheless the lives of $4,000
persons were snuffed out. And
by machines that have been
developed primarily for pleasure.
The number killed last year
was 800 above 1852. and last
years total has been exceeded
in only two years, 1887 and 1941.
1875 Million Injured.
But deaths don't tell the whole
story. There were about 1885,
900 non-fatal injuries in 1853.
That is about the same as the
year before. And some were
manned and injured beyond the
to recover completely

less speeders. unfit drivers, bad
guessers, signal flaunters and
