The Governors baraza was

During the allied occupa-

reckless cab drivers were Q
natural and almost desirable

Occupation officials finally
did succeed In getting pedes-
trians to walk facing oncoming

the man at the side Of the

the cabbies, who were driving

is falling back into his old habit

measure Of courage of the Jap,

A more logical explanation
OF Japan's numerous taxi ac-
cidents seems to lie in the fact
that in Tokyo alone the num-
ber of registered cars has in
creased from 10000 in 1948 to
217,000 as of last September.
There are about 10000 taxis
IN Tokyo-and taxis are used
far more than private cars.
They make up almost half Of
the cars on the streets at all
times.
No More Policemen
Meanwhile there has been
almost no increase in the num-
Der of traffic officers. Yet
police feel they know at least
some Of the answers.
A recent 11-day safety drive,
bearing down hard on both
driver and pedestrian law
violations, cut accidents So
per cent and deaths 10 per
cent.
Tokyo police heads think
better education of drivers,
tighter enforcement of laws,
tougher penalties for repeater
cases and the slow improve
ment of Tokyo streets will
yield such results gradually on
a continuing basis.
They point out there were
only SO deaths per 10000 cars
in New York City last year,
according to their computa-
tions, while there we're IT'S
in Yokohama, 500 in Osaka

why japanese cities can't
eventually equal such a mark.

to visit the Soviet war me-
mortal happens to pass by.
Nearly all policing work is
done by Germans In each
zone. With their continuing
mania for flashy uniforms and
impressive rank, Berlin's uni
formed peace force--from
street cleaners and traffic cops
right up to armed guards at
the zone boundaries handle
the jobs with all the curt
ness and military manner so
admired by her citizens.
Austrian police are on duty
in Vienna. but their manner
is more that Of the courteous
London bobby. The powers do
their own policing, however.
and they allow their troops to
circulate freely and take part
in the normal life Of the city.
Hence, you can see in the
heart of Vienna groups Of Rus
sian and American soldiers
walking within earshot Of each
other during the busiest hours
Of the day. And at night, If
you stroll along the quiet. rest
full Ring, the city's main bou-
levard, you can see Russian
officers sitting on park benches
with their wives and small
children.
This is what joint occupa-
ton has come to In Vienna.
Why Is 1t, that In two. cities
occupied by the same foreign
powers for about the same
length of time, there are such
startling differences. The inn
mediate answer is that Rus
sia has chosen to cooperate
with four-power government
in Vienna. but has refused to
cooperate in Berlin. The rea-
son for the relatively enlight-
ened attitude is something Of
a puzzle. but there is one
practical reason why a Vien-
neSe Iron Curtain would be
difficult to draw:
The Vienna zones are scat
tered and mixed. Russia can
not wall of her several zones
without dividing and isolat-
ing herself.
Liberation
Also, the occupation Of
Vienna was the aftermath Of
a liberation. Treatment Of
Austria as a liberated country
was established early In allied
political talks. Gen. Mark
Clark, a tough customer las
the Russians found brooked
no Soviet bullying in the four
power management Of the
capital.
As tensions continued to
divide the postwar world into
two distinct camps, Vienna be-
came the unhappy victim. The
occupation was continued to
preserve status quo until one
side or the other might decide
to pull up stakes and go home.
That possibility. Of course.
has grown ever DINNER. in
direct proportion to the growth
Of tensions in Berlin. And that
reliance on the outcome Of the
power struggle elsewhere has
persuaded the Viennese, n
nally. to put up with the oc-
cupation-but to continue to
live In the old way as well.
But who is to say this is
unjust? Conquered Berlin.
