Accident Epidemic"
= All but three causes of
death in humans now are all
but eliminated by advances
in medicine and surgery, DR..
A. Arnold Griswold of the
University Of Louisville Med
ical School told the same
meeting in discussing ad-
vanceS in surgery for injuries.
The three causes are acct
dents in youth and cancer
and circulatory diseases
after middle age. The acct
dent picture, he stressed, is
getting worse with little adj
vance in surgical treatment.
Since the majority happen
to young people they have
become by far the leading
cause of death in terms of
lost man-years.
The changing picture, he
said, is due in large part to
higher speed, more powerful
automobiles. Whereas for
merly only one person would
be injured in a crash now
there are almost always sew
eral. Formerly a victim would
have only one injury. Now
he is likely to have four or
five. The same is happen
ming. he said, in war in
jurieS due to improved meth
DDS.
In one university, he said,
the growing accident rate is
considered as epidemic" and
studied statiStically as would
be the case of an explosively
contagious disease. The null
tiple-perSon, multiple-trau-
ma picture, he said, requires
that hospitals be organized
with disaster teams with all
the specialtieS represented.
and this now is considered
in accrediting hospitals.
There is little prospect, he
said, that the picture will
change, for cars are bound
to become faster and more
powerful. Only a little can
be done, he stressed, with
safety devices in the autos
themselves.

Risky FruqoIity

Altnougn leaving himself open
TO miSinterpretation, Secretary Dulles
spoke realistically when he recently told
House Appropriations subcommittee
that the purpose of American foreign
policy is not primarily to make friends
In the world, but ito look out for the
interests of the United States"
The more friends we have, of course.
and the stronger and Stabler they are,
the better that is for us. But friend
ship, solely and simply for friendships
sake, is not the guiding principle Of our
country'S international programs. Ac-
tually, far from being naively altruiStic
or sentimental, the guiding principle is
aimed at the hard-headed objective Of
achieving those things that seem best
calculated to advance our own national
well-being and security. That is why
our Government strives, for example,
for good relations with relationships as
different as GeneraliSSimo frances in
Spain and Marshal Tito's in YugoSlavia.
This is what is known as the policy
OF enlightened Self-interest. It is a pol
Icy that motivateS the actions of every
mature and independent government in
the world. Countries do not fall In love
with each other They are all selfish
and self-centered, in their own ways,
and when they develop close ties or en-
ter upon sort of international married
life, they do so only because they have
concluded that that is the wiSeSt and
most promising course for them to fol-
low. This explains why we have the
great alliance called the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization. And it explains,
too, why we have been investing bill
lions Of dollars each year in our mutual
security program Of defense support and
economic aid to our friends and allies
abroad, and even to "neutraliSt" powers
and a maverick Communist land like
YugoSlavia. The main objective, to re-
peat, is not to make friends, but to serve
the best interests of our Nation.
1t is against this background that
Americans must judge what Congress
has done to President Eisenhower'S
"rock-bottom" request for $3.8 billion
to continue with the mutual security
program in the current fiscal year. A
Senate House conference committee has
reached an agreement under which the
authorizing legislation cuts that sum
to 1913 billion. Further, the agreement
which may suffer additional SlaSheS
when the time comes to appropriate the
money for it-greatly weakenS the Pres
ident'S common-SenSe proposal to set up
a long-term revolving loan fund for de-
velopmental projects overseas. AS a re-
suit, militarily, politically and econom-
ically, the Kremlin is now likely to find
1t easier to carry on It's conspiratorial
work in such vital areas as Asia and the
Middle East.
True, both houses Of Congress have
agreed on something that seems to have
saved" money for the American tax
payer. But appearances are often de-
ceiving. In this instance, in terms of
serving the interests of our country, the
frugality may well prove to have been
reckleSsly improvident.

and the accusation that
Americans even in their re-
ligious life cannot divorce
themselves from the grip of
materialism must stand.
In saying this I do not con-
denim either the right Of pos

or the religious bodies who
support such a move. What
I am saying is that the cause
of high religion and the well
fare Of workers in all occu-
pations might be better served

Adoption by the Minimum
Wage and Industrial Safety
Board Of the District of Co.
lumbia Of a $50 weekly mini
mum wage for women and
minors employed in the retail
trade field can be considered
only as a community disgrace
and an insult to the workers.
1t should have been obvious
to the board that the recon-
mendations Of its wage con-
ference could not possibly
have been based upon re-
liable or acceptable cost-of-
living data. although 1t is the
duty of the conference and
Of the board to establish
wages that are adequate to
supply women workers with
the necessary cost of living
and to maintain them in
good health and protect their
morals. (Section 36-409, Dis
trict Of Columbia Code. 1881
edition.)
AS early as May. 1858. the
United States Department Of
Labor Women's Bureau pub
lished an Estimated Annual
Cost of Budget for an EN-
ployed Woman in the District
of Columbia" According to
that budget, a single woman,
living in a boarding house.
required as Of that time a
minimum Of $42.48 a week
in order to meet the cost Of
living and to maintain her
health and morals. AS any
housekeeper knows. the 1858
figures have long since be-
come obsolete. Since June,
1856. the cost-of-living index
as prepared by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics Of the De-
partment of Labor increased
"a per cent.
1t is my position that 1t Is
not only inconsistent with
good morals but also incon-
sistent with law to establish
a rate Of pay which in its
application to a substantial
number Of workers will equal
only 80 cents an hour. The
establishment Of such low
rates for full-time workers
can have the effect only Of
reducing the quality Of the
employees who meet the pub
lie and the quality Of the
service rendered by retail en-
ployes.
On behalf Of the union
which I represent. I state
that the establishment of
unduly low minimum wage
schedules in the District Of
Columbia prejudices us in
our efforts to obtain respect
able wage agreements with
our own employer, because
we find our efforts seriously
hampered by low minimum
wage orders which in SUBJ
stance allow the lowest pay
ing merchant to fix the wage
standards Of those whose
profits warrant higher and
more equitable payments.

Whoever wrote that piece Of

as well. You first give him a
certain amount of glory and
stature by placing the article

he certainly does not deserve.

someone worth emulating.

the total subject or problem
that / am concerned about
and not just this individual

Of thinking that circulates
among the population today
is what is Of most concern
to me. We are slowly edging
toward a philosophy which
says. Right is wrons and
wrong is right, good is bad
and bad is good; no one is
really responsible for his
acts and therefore should
not be punished for any
thing he does; there is no
such thing as free will (this
in spite Of the fact that God
did most definitely endow us
with a free will and made us
responsible for all our acts).
and that 1t is pretty much
impossible for man to diff
ferentiate between right and
wrong. The details and the
ramifications of this kind
Of philosophy are endless,
but 1t usually ends UP with
a direct attack on God Him
self by trying to explain Him
away as some myth, while 1t
attempts TO establish man as
the supreme being.
