Ohio Traffic Toll
To November IS

Traffic accidents claimed the
lives of 1873 persons during Mo-
vember of 1855, a 27T6 increase
over the 156 deaths during No
vember last year.
For IL months of 1855, highway
deaths now total 1,841. an increa-
sc of 1919 over the 1850 deaths
for the same period last year.
From all indications, Ohio's traf-
tic death toll will reach 1850 -
higher than any previous year
since 1941.
OF 1,S41 deaths so far this year,
939 were due to crashes on rural
state highways. Deaths on rural
state roads for 1855 will exceed l.
900 highest death rate in the
record book.
The 11-month injury toll in traf-
fic mishaps was 63,469 injuries -
1870 above the 56,647 injuries last
year at this time. 1t is expected
that 1855 injuries will reach TO-
600.
During November. 13,545 traffic
accidents were reported to the De-
partment of Highway Safety. The
11-month total was 126, 1863 acci-
dents; estimated yearly total
100000 accidents.
In November accidents, property
damage amounted TO SAT millioni
the 11-month total, $45 million. By
the end of 1855, damage will reach
$50 million-almost double the
1854 fire loss in Ohio of $3.50 mil.

when everybody was still hav-

They finally had to break

The Roosevelt boys had
broken the staid tradition of
the White House at a similar
earlier party. said Sidney.
There had never been any
thing like it there before"
said the maestro who also
played for the Hoovers.
There also hasn't been any
thing like it since.
Inc famous debut OF Helen
Dougherty at the Mayflower
was nothing like as fabulous
as touted in the press, said
Sidney, who has played at
many costly ones.
He lists as the most beauti-

dance for her granddaughter
Ellen MacNeille last June
when the Chevy Chase Club
lawn was a myriad of lanterns
and colored dancing waters
played against the sky.
Another memorable one was
Woodward and Lothrop Presi-
dent and Mrs. Andrew Par
ker's party at the Sulgrave
Club for their daughter Louise.
Actually he gets his biggest
kick, he said, out of playing
for debutantes whose mothers
also made their debuts to his
music. Such was the case last
Saturday night when he made
the rafters ring in the fabu-
lous Crescent place house of
Mrs. Irwin Laughlin. This
time he played for her grand
daughter Elizabeth Chanler.
Twenty-one years ago he
played for Elizabeth's mother,
Mrs. Hubert Chanler, in the
same house.

Probably the greatest au-
thority on Washington parties
-VIP parties, big parties,
intimate parties. debut parties
lis the man who has played
for most of them, Sidney
Seidenman.
What he hasn't seen while
keeping one eye on his orches-
ira and the other on the guests
for a period of 80 years, isn't
worth mentioning.
Actually he has been stimu-
1ating Washington society to
terpsichorean efforts for longer
than that. He directed for
Meyer Davis here for several
years before he banded to-
gether his own musicians.
In the 80 years he has seen
Harry Truman join his orches-
ira at the piano at one of Perle
MeSta's parties.
He's let Nicholas Longworth
borrow a violin and play with
him for half hour at a time.
He's Smilingly looked on while
Eugene Meyer took over his
drums at one of the Meyer
parties.
He's played for the President
Of the United States weekly at
the late Evalyn Walsh Nc
Lean Sunday suppers at her
Eye street mansion.
And he's swung a kindly
baton over dewy debutantes
for two generations; is playing
for % this season, 10 of them
between December 20 and jan
uary 2.
Most Exciting Debut
He Will tell you that the most
exciting debut he ever played
was at the White House. Sec

tional Chairman that under
no circumstances was he to
play Sidewalks" since it
wouldn't be fair to the other
candidates.
Sidney therefore told the
congressman he couldn't play
it. Whereupon Sol Bloom
said. Tell the boys in the
press about it anyway, only
tell them I offered you $1,000
instead of 500.
Ike Sang All Evening
The Eisenhowers have never
had any dances in the White
House. But Sidney played for
the President when he was
Army Chief of Staff. II re-
member he came to Mrs.
Mesta's for a dinner dance at
the S street house she had at
the time, I asked him what I
could play for him and he
said he couldn't think of any
particular favorite but would

played it ever so often all
night and he never tired of
singing it,"
"Of all the Presidents I have
ever played for, though" says
Sidney. "Mr. Truman was cas-
lily the most responsive musi-
cally." Whatever the function
and whatever was absorbing
Mr.. Humans attention at the
moment, when Sidney played
one of the Presidents favorites
he would invariably look over
at the orchestra and bow, or
clasp his hands together, or
give some form of acknowl-
edgement.
World War II, thinks the
orchestra leader. changed the
whole tenor Of Washington
parties.
People are a lot tanner today
in his opinion. All the big

harder and keep earlier hours.

whole diplomatic picture.

run Of the mill. Some Of the
most glamorous were given by
Belgian Ambassador Prince de
Ligne. He recalled one par.
ticularly gay dance when mar
velous food and drink we're
served all night long. and when
he and his orchestra finally
left the embassy the sun was
shiningl
Til Morning
He also played for many
gay parties at the Italian EN-.

up dancing in the inner court
by the dawn's early light. And
for numerous ones at the Brit!
ish Embassy when some Of the
British bachelors invariably
took the orchestra back to
their house on Sixteenth street
along with enough friends to.
keep the party going until
sunrise.
What's Sidney's recipe for
a good party? It's good mu-
sic, attractive people, good
decor. the proper number Of
stags-that's two men to one
girl If the music is continuous,
and the proper amount Of
liquor served in the proper
way. In short, If too many
young people surround a bar
it should be closed tempo
rarily.
AS for dancing? "All you
have to do is follow the beat
and have fun" grinned WASH
ington's popular bandmaster.
He'll keep the beat beating for
Washington feet until that
day when Sidney, jr.. now his
business manager, steps into
his shoes,
