|McKe|din Calls
Car Toll Study

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 6 (Spe-
|ciaD Gov. McKeldin has called
an emergency meeting of law
enforcement officials to take ac-
ton on "the slaughter on our
highways" The session will be
held in Baltimore early next
week, he said.
Nearly 400 persons have met
death in Maryland traffic acct
dents this year. Prince Georges
County alone has had 49 deaths,
IA of them in the past l6 days,
The county toll at this time q
year ago was A.
Proposes Drastic Action
The Governor, here to address
the annual convention of the
New Jersey District of Kiwanis
International. told The Star:
II believe that something more
drastic is going to have to be
done. I am anxious to proceed
with sitter penalties and pro-
pose to take this up with our
law enforcement agencies the
first Of the week. Well have to
do something. This slaughter
must not be allowed to continue. y
The Governor said he has
asked Paul E. Burke, chairman
of the State Traffic Safety Com
mission, to present at the meet
ing proposals for coping with the
rising accident toll. Others al
the gathering, the Governor said
will be representatives of the
State Police, Department of Mo-
tor Vehicles, and probably Balti-
more city police.
Urged Court Crack Down
On Friday, the Governor ex-
pressed concern over the mount
ing death toll and said that
courts should crack down or
reckless drivers and speeders.
Asked today if he favored
automatic suspension Of driving
permits for speeding, even fol
first offenseS, the Governor SAID
he was not prepared to favor any
particular plan at this time. Last
summer, he had expressed inter-
est in the suspension proposal
the so-called Connecticut plan
but added:
II am not saying we are about
to have such a thing in Mary
land, but we are going to have
to come close to it,"
About 20 more persons have
met death on Maryland high
ways this year than were killed
up to this time last year.

o. Roy Chalk head of the new
D. c. Transit System, Inc, faces
a major hurdle Thursday when
he has agreed to settle down to
continuous negotiations" on a
new labor contract.
The labor negotiations come
on the heels of the resignation
on "a hours notice of the COM
pany's veteran top operating
boss, Jonn B. Ecker, which was
disclosed in yesterdays Star.
Transit union officials have
charged publicly that Mr., Chalk
has stalled the negotiations I'M
til after his company issues a
financial report on it's first full
month of operations in Septem-
Der. Mr.. Chalk bought out the
old Capital Transit Co. on Au-
gust IS.
Demands of Union
The union officials, demanding
a 25-cent-an-hour wage increase,
arbitration of contract renewals
and Improvements in working
conditions and pensions, have
warned they will not be impressed
with a poor financial showing.
Walter j. Bierwagen, president
of Division 500, Amalgamated
Association of Street, Electric
Railway and Motor Coach En-
ployes of America, has contend
ed in his weekly column in the
Trades Unionist that Mr.. Chalk
has been making heavy purchases
of parts to build up the COM
pany'S scanty inventory and
charging the cost to current
operating expenses.
He contended that Mr.. Chalk
has not paid for the purchases
out OF the SIS million in cash
he got with the etc assets.

But" he said. "far from being
the end of the story. the seizure
of the canal seems to be but a

chief operator of the lines will
not be assigned to anyone
specifically for the time being,
other transit officials said.
D. C. Transit is operating on
IA 75-day extension, until No
vember /, of the old labor con-
tract between CTC and the
union. Mr.. Chalk has been
quoted as predicting negotiation
of the new contract can be
settled within two days. Union
officials, however, have estimated
it could not be completed in less
than four or five days at the
earliest if both sides were nego-
tiating in complete good faith
at top speed.
Union Policy Cited
City officials, meanwhile, are
desperately hoping that Mr..
Chalk'S optimism will be justi-
fed They point out, however,
that the union is a well-disci-
plined organization which staged
the 52-day strike last year that
resulted in cancellation of CTC's
franchise.
Also, observers point out, the
union has a formal policy of
diSinterest in the ability to pay"
of any company with which it
deals.
Mr.. Ecker's resignation after
81 years with the system de-
prives the company of its key
operating executive. Asked how
D. c. Transit would get along
without him, First Vice President
Morris Fox said yesterday that
three of the five major depart
ment heads formerly responsible
to Mr.. Ecker would operate as a
committee and report directly to
Mr.. Chalk.
Later, however, he said this
plan was "out of the picture, +"
that no appointments had been
made and that the company
would continue operating las
though Mr.. Ecker were still on
vacation" Mr.. Ecker had re-
turned from a vacation in Cali
fornia shortly before his resig-
nation.
