White Clothes Safest,
Traffic Chief SAYS

One way to avoid being run
over at night: Wear white
clothes.
This is. the advice of Traffic
Director George E. Keneipp as
given last night over WMAL-TV,
The Stars television station.
Mr.. Keneipp realized, of course,
the drawbacks of such clothing
in the winter, but suggested
light-colored apparel as one
safeguard against accidents.
Another was abstinence from
alcoholic beverages. Last year
238 accidents resulted from
drinking. he said.
Mr.. Keneipp singled out
Charles Scott, Capital Transit
bus driver for special praise.
Recently Mr.. Scott. who hauls
1000 persons a day on the Six
teenth street line, turned the bus
to free a long line Of stranded
cars, thereby winning the
