Reduction In Road
Deaths Disclosed

Figures from the "a states par
ticipating in the 1854 summertime
highway safety campaign, Slow
Down and Live, show a reduction
of is per cent in traffic deaths for
this Memorial Day weekend as
compared with the same holiday
last year.
Highway deaths in the region,
which includes every state from
Maine to Texas totaled 165 this
year. Last years figure was 1856.
The reduction, according to Cap
tain Q. p. Taylor Of Florida, Chair
man Of the Southern State Safety
COOrdinatOrs group, and Paul E.
Burke Of Maryland, Chairman of
the Northeastern State Safety Co
ordlnators, came in the face of a
near-record death toll for the ma
ton as a whole. The cOordinators
also pointed out that this Memoir
ial Day weekend covered a full
three days. Last years was listed
officially as a two day holiday.
Fourteen OF the participating
otdpeS showed decreases IN the
numbers of deaths this year. They
were Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Mississippi, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, West
Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, New
Jersey, New York and Rhode Is
land.
Two states, Georgia and New
Hampshire. held even with the
toll of year ago while the eight
states of Kentucky, louisiana,
Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Mas
sachusetts, Pennsylvania and Yer
mont reported increases.
In announcing the holiday fig
ures, Captain Taylor and Mr..
Burke said, This is an ausEscious
start for our 1854 Slow Down and
Live project State, county and
local officials in the area from
Maine to Texas will redOuble their
efforts to continue this trend
throughout the summer vacation
period"

Test On Tunnel Boom Is

sort of boom or bust" point in the
movement and predicted that if the
committee did not decisively back
Justice Tunnel for the nomination,
it would in all probability spell
the end of the move.
Democratic observers in Sussex
County expect the move to endorse
Justice Tunnel to set off a lively
debate, especially in view of the
fact that Mr.. Carvel, a leader in
the county, has virtually declared
himself for Senator Frear.
The latest series of events setting
the stage for the meeting in Sus-
sex County began Monday night
with a meeting Of the state policy
group in Dover when former Gov
ernOr Carvels name was proposed
late in the meeting as a cOmpro-
mise candidate to avoid a fight
within the party between Tunnell
and Frear supporters.
Reliable reports from that meet
ing have it that the only reason
Mr.. Carvel allowed his name to be
entered was due to the fact that he
and other members of the policy
committee had been informed that
Senator Frear would withdraw
from the race.
However, this suppositiOn proved
to be totally incorrect as the next
day Frear announced that he had
in no ways changed his position and
would wage a fighting campaign for
denomination.
Tunnel supporters, especially in
the northern part of the state.
Wednesday, night indicated that
they had no intention of giving I'D
the fight to put Justice Tunnel
across as the Democratic candidate.
One of the leaders in the move
ment, who has steadfastly refused
to be identified, commented that
any Democrat has a perfect right
to back any candidate he chooses.
IN an apparent reference to former
Governor Carvel's statement.
Sees Frear Cause Aided
However, some observers ex-
pected the stand taken by Mr.. Car
vel to solidify the supporters of
Senator FTear and bring them out
into the open. Although most con-
cede that he has strong backing
within the Democratic Party in all
parts of the state, there has been
a noticeable lack of public support
up until the present time.
Tunnell supporters point to the
TACT that they have in some respects
been hampered in their efforts to
put their candidate across since. as
a member of the bench, he cannot
make any public statement as tn
his intentions unless he is pre-
pared to step down from his pOst
as an Associate Justic of the State
Supreme Court.
TO this point, Justice Tunnel
has had nothing to say publicly re-
garding the movement on his he
half but his hackers point to the
fact that if he were not interested.
ne could have taken himself out
OF the picture long ago.
A surprise to some observers at
Monday nights policy committee
meeting was that the impetus for
endorsing Mr.. Carvel came from

Said the Senator, Il often wonder
whether or not those Of us who are
parents appreciate the tremendous
obligation which confronts our
teachers in these days of large
school populations. Nothing is more
important to the future Of any in
dividual than the impressions and
habits often formed during the pri-
mary and secondary school years.
To the teachers and school admin~
istrators who carry out the de-
manding assignment of providing
proper guidance on day by day
basis, we surely owe a vote Of
thanks"
In closing, Mr.. Frear expressed
the hope that vacationing Della

Kent County, which had, generally
been regarded as sOlidly lined up
behind Senator Frear.
However, despite the apparent in
tentiOns of both sides to carry the
fight forward. most politicOes
familiar with the situation felt that
the entire matter would be settled
before the state convention in
August which will nominate candi-
dates for Senator, Representative
and state Offices.
Carvel Statement
Mr.. Carvel's statement follows:
Allen Frear and / have been
friends for Is years. In fact, his
company has been closely associa-
ted with my company since 1920.
i told Frear in January, 1858,
that l would not be a candidate.
He did not ask me at that time.
but / volunteered the information
to him.
often since then, I have restat-
ed that some position. The infor-
NAL action of the policy committee
Monday night came to me as a
complete surprise. had been
away with my family for about five
days, and knew nothing of any de-
sire OF any members of the policy
committee to suggest my name as
a possible candidate.
The fact that / appointed dur
ing my term as governor Q949-
1889 every member of the policy
committee to some important post
in the state, I am sure, influenced
them to mention my name at the
time.
1T is understandable that this
group of men would be loyal to me-
l deeply appreciate the compliment
they have paid me by the informal
action they took.
Nothing To Interfere
1 will, however, stand firmly by
my previous statements to the
present U. S. Senator and my good
friend, ]. Allen Frear, and will do
nothing to interfere with his candi-
dacy.
VIII say, as nave said in the
past think Allen Frear is a sin
cere and honest senator and repre-
sentative of the people of Delaware
Il believe that if he is nominated.
he will attract to the party the
highest number Of votes of anv
candidate we Democrats could
nominate.
Il also have the highest regard
for Justice James M. Tunnel, Jr..
whom / appointed to the Supreme
Court in 1851. share the opinion
OF the overwhelming number of
lawyers who contact Justice Tun-
nell in public and private life. that
his presence on the Supreme Court
is an important factor in making
