Accidents Claim 03 Thousand Lives in l96O

CHICAGO R - Ninety-three thousand persons were killed in accidents in the United States last year, more than tWo-thirds of them in traffic crashes and in the home, the National Safety Council said.
 The number killed was the highest total since 1857 but the death rate was a record low, the Council said.
 The Council estimated the economic loss at $13.4 billion. It covers both fatal and nonfatal ac- cidents, the Council said in re- porting that more than nine mil lion persons were injured in ac- cidents in 1860. It said 1 of every 19 persons in the nation suffered a disabling injury last year.
 Although accidental deaths last year were one per cent higher than the 92,080 in 1858, the death rate per 10000 persons dropped tO u. 1 COlllpdIGu lO lIl6 DI6VlOuS record low of 52.2 in 1859. The Council attributed the drop to a per cent increase in popula- ton.
 Motor vehicle accidents, as in previous years, was the No. killer, with 38,200 deaths, the big gest toll since 1857 and compared to 37,910 in 1859. Home accidents - poisonings, fires, burns and firearms - ranked second to traffic with 27,- 500 fatalities, some 500 more than in 1859.
 Deaths from work mishaps totaled 13,800, about the same as in 1859. Accidents at work re- suited in the loss of 28O million man-days, which the Council said was equivalent to an entire years shutdown of hypothetical plant employing 1 million work CTS.

Battle Line Drawn Up in the Congo, Will Be Direct Test for Khrushchev

Kennedy was not trying to bring the issue to a head. He was try ing to keep the SoViets from bringing it to head. He was as blunt as diplomatic language will permit
 A Blunt Reminder
 He was no less blunt in remind ing the smaller nations where their true interests lie - in the United Nations.
 But the effect was an attempt to line up the United Nations on the side of Kasavubu, which bor- ders closely on intervention and may not be well accepted either in the United Nations or in the Congo. It smacks of choosing up sides, as the Soviet Union al- ready had done, in a situation where one of the paramount is sues, among the African and Asian countries, is self-determi- nation.
 This can be self-defeating.
 The point may have been reach ed where it is now necessary in order to block the Communist drive in Africa. But it injects an issue which has always proved troublesome to the United States, as witness Latin America.
 There are many other angles to this business of choosing sides in Congo politics while attempt ing to exert pressure for civil order through the United Ma tiOnS.
 For one, the United States and the Soviet Union both are now working from the premise that one or another political group can eventually establish a central government in the Congo.
 Expert observers have repeat edly expressed doubt that this will be possible in the foresee- able future. An uneasy truce be- tween the factions, and the tribes into which the factions are di- vided, constantly enforced by the United Nations during long period of political tutelage, is about the best that can be hoped for.

By J. M. Roberts Associated Press NelGS Analyst

President Kennedy's endorse ment of Congo President Joseph Kasavubu's forces has drawn the battle line in the Congo.
 It offers a direct test of So- viet Premier Khrushchev's Jan. 6 commitment to support Com munist civil war in emerging countries.
 The Soviet Union has described the pro-Communist Antoine Gi- zenga group, the political heirs of slain ex-premier Patrice Lu- mumba, as the only legitimate government in the Congo, which the Reds have a sacred duty" to aid.
 Kennedy called the Kasavubu group "the only legal authority" i"
 The President was calm, but his words were direct and seri- ous as he warned the Soviet Union, without naming her, against unilateral action. The United States would react against that, he said, as United Ma tionS member.

Kennedy Pumps More Money
 Into the Economy
By MdrUin L. Arrolpsmith

WASHINGTON R - President Kennedy, hitting back at those who contend there is no recession, is pumping more federal money into the economy to combat "the very serious problem of unem- ployment."
 The President sized up the problem in those terms at his news conference Thursday night while thrusting at Republican criticism of his efforts to spur business and reduce joblessness. He also prodded the Democratic controlled Congress moving slowly so far - to act speedily on his legislative program de- signed, he said, to get the Ameri- can economy "back on it's feet"
 And the President, again with the Soviet Union clearly in mind, asserted that any attempt to des- troy the United Nations in the the Congo crisis lis a blow aimed directly at the independence and security of every nation, large and small"
 He pledged the United States twill continue to support the United Nations presence in the Congo" and said a U. N. pull out there - such as demanded by the Soviet Union - would add up to disaster.
 AS for the domestic economy. Kennedy said the country is most concerned about the very serious problem of unemploy- ment." There are, he said, more than 55 million Americans who want work and can't find job.
 Alluding to Congress, the Pres ident said he hopes there will be action on his legislative program as soon as possible. He reviewed steps he already has taken on his own to relieve hardship and en- courage business recovery, and then listed additional measures he had just ordered apart from proposals which require congress sional approval.

Hahn Needs
Combination
To Cop Loop

Wheaton Coach Bill Hahn
looks for a tough game Sat-
urday at Walter johnson and
is hoping for a combination
that will bring the knights
their first championship in
football.
"Any team in this league can
beat you," Hahn said.
"We go out to Sherwood and
get beat and Walter Johnson
beat Sherwood. No, we expect a
tough time at Walter Johnson,
they did it to us last year If you
remember" Hahn answered to
his favored position against the
Spartans.
Although most any coach
would envy Hahn his record at
Wheaton (204-1), his three
years at Wheaton have been his
most successful in the last II
years of coaching. He had a
111-10.4 record for the previous
IA years, which must be about
the best In the country.
Hahn sees his squad improved
since an early loss to North
western, 1877, but feels it lacks
the consistency of a good team.
He credits his charges with a
good defensive performance
against Northwood (15-0), but
felt the offensive game was be-
low par.
Wheaton needs wins over WI
and Richard Montgomery in its
final games and a B-CC victory
over Blair to give a chance at
the Montgomery title.
WI has a 3-4-1 record at this
point and has wins over a good
Bladensburg squad, Sherwood
and High Point. The Spartans
have only 1871 league mark
which includes a scoreless tie
with Bethesda Chevy Chase.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1961-11-02

Wheaton needs to win both its
games against Walter Johnson
tomorrow and RMHS the fol
lowing week and get an assist
from B-CC against Blair. Ditto,
Richard Montgomery. Ties are
possible, but taken care of by
the complicated point system
which gives 10 points for a win,
five for a tie, and one for each
game won by an opponent
which you have beaten. If both
Blair and Richard Montgomery
win their two remaining games,
Blair would probably be the
champion by virtue of six big
points picked up by the Blazers
with their win over Rockville.
Complicated?
However, Saturdays task is
relatively simple for both teams
in Rockville: to win. The point
off will come later II necessary.
