Commission Head Warns
Against Traffic Tragedies

The signing of the Declare.
ton of Independence was one
of the most momentous events
in the history of this country,
and every man, woman and
child in the United States rea.
Lies the great significance it
embodieS.
However, when celebrating
the historic Fourth of July
holiday, few people give thought
to the implied meanings con-
tanned in this document con-
tinued safe way of with
out fear of tyranny. Tyranny
can be the indifference display
ed by the careless motorist.
Guard your right to live" is
the advice offered holiday
motorists by Paul E. Burke,
executive director of the Mary
land Traffic Safety Commits
sion, as the Fourth of July
celebration approaches. Year
after year the Independence
Day celebration stands out as
the No. 1 accident killer during
the summer months. This year
promises to run true to form
unless celebrants take this adj
vice and resolve to do some
thing about it.
In the United States last year
43S people died in automobile
accidents over the Fourth of
July holiday weekend, and 3d.
900 were injured in this four
day holiday celebration. These
appalling statistics point out the
many dangers encountered
while driving and walking, the
great need for extra caution,
the necessity of obeying all
traffic laws, and always dis
playing courtesy.
Spurred by the knowledge
that one out of every three traf-
fic deaths involves excessive
speed, Burke warns, exceed
ing safe and reasonable speeds
is like driving with chip on
your shoulder begging both in
ertia and kinetic energy-two
forces you can't possibly lick

Not q Word of American
Praise for This Novel
THE PROUD AMERICA

THE PROUD AMERICAN
BOY. By Russell Braddon.
(St. Martins Press; $4.950
The back of this novels
jacket is filled with praise
from advance readers. It's ad-
mirers are from England,
Scotland, Malta, Kenya
South Africa and Rhodesia.
There is not a quotation
from an American reader.
Why this worldwide ac-
claim" should be confined to
alien sources becomes evident
as the book is read.
The author is an Austral-
ian, and his novel is an ex-
cellent illustration of how
unconvincing a writer can
become when he doesn't know
what he's writing about. Mr..
Braddon has chosen a theme
of racial intolerance in our
South. It is not because his
story conveys a denunciation
of such a spirit, not because
he is not on the right side,
that he fails so drearily, but
simply because his fable is
incredible.
A Negro boy Of 7 is ar
rested in this Southern town

rape of a little girl. OF course
he is innocent, but the boy

by an indiScreet remark to a
malicious dinner partner.
One of the most interesting
aspects of the fluent but
superficial chronicle of the
consequences is the fact that
Melville does not agonize for
a moment over the ethics of
denying that he said II want
the African for my brother
not my brother-in-law."
The new African Prime
Minister as a result, breaks
off negotiations. His home
country bursts into violence.
The government begins to
topple.
Melville is embroiled in an
equally nasty situation at
home. He discovers that his
model wife has been the mis-
tress of his brother, long
dead.
Mr.. Edelman gives us some
pleasant glimpses of Parlia-
ment at work and the poll
tician with his constituents.
But he has not given us a
single character of any depth
or substance. They are all
