■ - .. rflt ... p These Days Or - Behind The News From Washington By - John Chamberlain Ralph Nader, tt turns out, is becoming the idol of the concerned young. Instead of following Mark Rudd and Bernarditte Dohrn into the ranks of the nihilistic Weathermen, they have de cided to complete their edu cations, preferably in law, with a view to political ca reers as tributes for con sumerism. While this is bet ter than preparing for a life of bomb throwing, it involves a question that is not. easily settled: Where does the will to protect the consumer for his own good degenerate into a busybodyism that makes life intolerable for civilised beings? I have always been of two minds about Nader; I don’t re gard him as either god or devil. The country is undoubtedly in his debt for promoting the use of scat belts, which might not have been made part of the re quired automotive equipment if it hadn’t been for his agita tion. On the other hand, Nader has promoted an overemphasis on the danger arising from me chanical defects in the run-of the mill Detroit car. It is still the driver who is to blame for most of the accidents. The name of Richard D. Wayman is by no means as famous as Ralph Nader's. You don’t, see young law school undergraduates fore going a Washington summer as one of Nader’s Raiders to become a Wayman Highway man. Wayman doesn’t invite young people to indulge themselves in the self-right eous delights of busybody ism. He has merely set up a Highway Safety Founda tion as an independent, non profit organization (head quarters at Mansfield, Ohio) that has undertaken to in vestigate 10,000 accidents in the hope that it will enable safety engineers, road build ers, automobile manufactur ers, lawmakers, and psyc8&< atrists to do something prac tical about the accident rate. A Cleveland businessman. Mr. Wayman became involved in his meaningful hobby be cause of the death of a close friend in a highway mishap. His four-man teams (each con sisting of a trained investiga tor, a behavioral scientist, an engineer, and a photographer) have been combing the roads of Pennsylvania and other states since 1967, and have now come up with a mass of infor mation about 4.571 accidents. The general conclusions are still tentative (Mr. Wayman doesn’t trust small samples), but they do not support some of the wilder claims of the Naderites about the “unsafe at any speed” aspects of the motor car. Item One: vehicle defects or mechanical failures such as faulty steering gears and stuck accelerators occur in less than one per cent of fatal auto accidents. Item Two: the chances of an “unrestrained person” (i.e., one without a seat belt) being killed in an accident are “four times as great as for occupants wearing belts.” This puts Naderism in per spective: his “raiders” should lay off their busybodism about the car itself and con centrate on educating the driver to use the seat belt, which is now standard equip ment with each automobile. The Highway Safety Founda tion thinks its studies point to a defective conception of driver training. The neophyte driver is not taught to respond prop erly in emergencies involving skids and blowouts. He doesn’t know about the phenomenon of “hydroplaning” in which the car’s front wheels actually leave the road at higher speeds oh wet pavements. Drunken driv ing is, of course, an old story: half the deaths come from this. There isn’t enough evidence to tell- us much about the effects .-«£ -drug abuse on driving, but “tilts will no doubt come as the in - .depth investigation . con tinues. The trouble with obtain ing drug evidence is that it Science for You bob brown PROBLEM: The Stubborn Balloon. NEEDED: Two cans, a rubber balloon, soap suds, nail and hammer. DO THLS: Make a nail hole in one can. Put air into the balloon, and try to push it into the can without the hole. It may be impossible. Now try pushing it into the can with the hole. Place the balloon in the end of the can with the hole, suck air out of the hole, and see if balloon can be drawn into the can that way. It is if the balloon is covered with suds. HERE’S WHY: To push the balloon into the can, friction between the metal and rubber must be overcome. Iq the can without the hole, air trapped in the can must be compressed also. As the balloon is pushed farther the air pressure increases. If air is removed from the can by suction the, bal may be drawn in, pushed actually by the, greater re of the air outside the can.
