Al least 43O died
 over nation during holiday weekend
by The Associated Press


 A heavy toll of traffic accid- ent deaths was made by Amer ilcan motorists during the three day Labor Day weekend, err ceeding advance predictions and the toll for the 1854 h0li- day.
 Reports still trickling in to- day showed 43O persons died in traffic mishaps between $ p. m. local time Friday and mid night Monday. An additional 80 persons drowned and 89 died in miscellaneous accidents for an overall total of 599.
 This compared with a record traffic high of 461 and record overall total of 658, both set in 1851. The 1854 traffic toll was 364.
 The national safety council haid predicted 400 would die over the holiday. Today Ned H. Dearborn, council president, said in a statement:
 'aThe toll, thank heaven stay ed below the all-time record for Labor Day It IS of small comfort to anyone who sincere " believes that this wholesale slaughter on the highways need not and must not be toler ated.
 I've hope and believe that extra effort on the part of ev- eryone between now and Chr istmas will hold down the year end holiday toll"
 Safety council statistics show that 32 other persons are injur ed for every traffic death. Also for every three persons killed, fourth dies later of injuries.
 North Dakota reported nc violent deaths of any kind at- tributed to the holiday and Maine. Montana, Vermont and the District of Columbia had no traffic fatalities.
 This years holiday toll also topped that of a non-holdiav weekend tabulated last month for comparative proposes. An Associated Press survey ot deaths during the Aug. 1922 weekend showed 1885 traffic deaths 67 drownings and 85 violent deaths from miscellan- eous causes.

Lurid Science Fiction and TV
Blamed for Lack of Scientists

CINCINNATI, April 2 (R.-
Youthful preoccupation with tel
evision. comic books and "lurid'
science flction-and modern limi-
tations against letting bright stu
dents skip" grades In grammar

. prominent industrialist said
tonight.

rious threats" to the future of

he said, would have tragic
effects on our domestic economy
and might well cost us our
freedom" in the face Of Russian
chronological progress.
Nation Of Spectators
In an address prepare dior q
night session OF the American
Chemical Society's 127th ma
tional meeting. DR.. Wilson, a
chemical engineer, asserted that
television "has made us q Ma
ton Of spectators instead Of
participants" and he added:
"The bright young boy who
used to play with q homemade
crystal radio or a chamical kit
is now twirling the knobs on a
TV set. watching terrible pro-
grams that distract him from
constructive activities.
Instead Of reading really edu-
cational magazines for boys :.
he is attracted by comic books
and lurid science fiction"
Saying that ''inadequacies In
our educational system, espe-
cially at the secondary level"
have played q role in bringing
about a shortage" Of technically
trained people. DIR. Wilson de-
clared that one example of
waste" in the school system Is
"the failure to encourage and
speed along the really superior
minds. either in science or other
fields"

He also said that "the tenden-
cy OF so-called progressive edu-

Half Of U. 5. Colleges
Operating al a Loss,
Businessmen Find

MARRIMAN, N. Y. April Z
R-A big business mems sur
vey Of American higher educa-
ton turned up the finding today
that half the Nations colleges
appear to be operating In the
red"
The survey was conducted by
the Council for Financial Aid to
Education. O non-profit orgaiAi-
zation established by leading
business men to encourage
greater financial support for
colleges and universities from
all sources. The council itself
does not solicit or distribute
funds.
Chairman Of the councils
board of directors is Irving S.
Olds. former board chairman of
United States Steel Corp, now
practicing law in New York.
753 Colleges Reply
The council sent question
naires to approximately 800 col
leges and universities and re-
ceived usable replies from 753,
representing about so per cent
OF the degree-granting schools
in the country.
Results of the survey were re-
ported here today at q meeting
co-sponsored by the council and
the Columbia University Gradu-
ate School of Business.
Major reason for the schools
plight. the report said, Is that
the average cost OF operations per
student went up SO per cent be-
tween 1948 and 1858, the latest
year on which figures are avail
able. Tuition and fees went up
an average Of only II per cent.
1T Is clear" the report said,
that the Nations higher educa-
tional establishment needs fresh
and powerful draughts of new
capital If 1t is to do effective
work."
10-Year Needs Estimated
The schools themselves esti-
mated their needs over the next
10 years this way:
OF the 753 reporting, 545 said
they will need more than So bill
lion for such non-building pur-
poses as research, faculty salaries
and scholarships.
A group of $50 schools said
they will need a little over $2.5
billion for buildings.
In brief" the report COM
mented. despite the broadening
base and increasing volume of
support which they have re-
ceiveed in the last five years from
corporations, foundations and
Individuals. the Nations col
leges, universities and profess
sional schools are not yet across
the .50-yard line in their drive
toward the goal Of economic
solidity."
