Safety Mark
SET by Firm
BY TRUMAN r. TEMPLE
Star Staff Writer


The Continental Baking Co.
commended three Of its drivers
yesterday for helping the firm
get off to a good start on
its second millennium OF safe
driving.
There's a catch to the sta
tiStic. An enterprising public
relations man figured out that
Continental's 225 bakery drivers
had piled up a combined total
Of 1850 years Of accident-free
motoring on the job.
With the Districts campaign
slogan, Schools Out-Drive
Carefully" now being dissemi-
mated like the leavening in a
new loaf, it seemed like a logi-
cal time to make some awards.
The three drivers were Jay
Ingle with a decade of safe
driving behind him, James
Magruder and Luttrell McCrea
with is years apiece. Mr.. Ingle
received a watch and the latter
won 500 savings bonds.
Continental also distributes
diamond rings and $125 saw
ings bonds for 20 and 25-year
safety records respectively. The
company's vehicles operate in
Washington, Maryland and
Virginia.
A company spokesman noted
the fleet Of trucks has to wear
out q lot Of tires earning the
awards. After a bit Of multi
plication on the back Of a
Wonder bread wrapper, it was
estimated the trucks run more
than "a million miles q year
in delivering the company's
products locally.

There Is some danger that

In giving q dramatic tone
to his plans on this point he

he sees this as o calculated
risk, acceptable because he
does genuinely worry about
the need to do some things.
particularly about chronic

There is, however. to this

edge, nothing remotely ap-
preaching any long-term
alarm in the Presidents
thinking. His view is that
ours Is an immense. flexible
economy Of very great

some adjustments.
He does not for a moment
believe that the current re-

Therefore, let us examine
the anatomy Of Mr.. Sans
smashing victory-for 1t was
that. The relative narrowness
Of his margin Is not too i'm
portant. There was arrayed.
against him some Of the most
formidable influences in
Washington. These included
those Of the NAM, the ANA
and It's related associations.
and, strangely enough. many
powerful figures In the Amer
lean Farm Bureau. There
was q great gang-up agree
ment for q swapping Of votes
on measures yet to come.
The ANA opposes the Ken

Security rather than set, up

agencies to administer-and

features Of the Kennedy pro-
gram. The American Farm
Bureau politicians were bid

farm legislation. =.
So, what do we find as we
dissect the vote?
The total support, for the
Smith-Byrd axis was COM
posed Of Democrats, Of Mr..
Kennedy's own party, and
partisan Republicans. Most
Of the Democrats were from
the South. The Southern
farmers might well ask II
these men were truly repre-
senting their agricultural
constituents In this vote. The

q too-easy optimism might
be enduringly damaging.
So he is treating the
economy to a series Of fairly
small but brisk booster shots
MOTH any fear that he is
dealing with a terribly sick
patient, but rather in the
conviction that he is helping
a basically stout fellow who
nevertheless can use some
pre-spring tonic.
The almost bleak nature Of
his Inaugural address and Of
his state-of- -the-U mes
sage, IN short. was not caused
by any real economic fear.
This tone was introduced for
entirely o different reason
his conviction that the gen.
eral world scene is bad.
It is toward this world
scene - the bitter struggle
with imperialist communism
that his ultimate attention
and ultimate concern are
really directed. .>-
It might be put this way:
The economic situation,
though a genuine problem, is
q problem Of the second rank
with which he feels wholly
competent to cope adequately
and reasonably quickly. The
world problem, on the other
hand, Is not only genuine but
genuinely immense. And here
the President proceeds also
with o total determination
but with not quite that total
confidence In the final out
come that he has for the
economic problem.
Here, also, he is attacking
the whole massive complex
of the cold war with quick,
