J* - - w * M m m ***■ i A T THE next session of Con *» gress, the Department of Agri culture in all probability will lose jits authority over meat packers insofar as anti-trust proceedings, are concerned. There has been con siderable criticism of Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson about Jiiring representatives of the American Meat Institute on his payroll, or consultants from the packing industry. ' Hearings brought out, before a senate Judiciary Subcommittee, that the USDA has failed to carry out its anti-trust functions against the packers, and although the com mittee investigation has been tem porarily suspended until after adjournment of Congress, recom mendations have come from some western meat packers and from the sub-committee chairman, Gena tor Joseph O’Mahoney, (D --i Wyo.) that this anti-trust authority be shifted over to the Federal Trade Commission. Also as a result of these hearings, Senator Arthur Watkins, (R-Utah) has introduced a bill, (S-4177) which would trans fer to the FTC all anti-trust func tions of the Agriculture Depart ment, which it holds under the Packers and Stockyards Act. « • * * The Senate by a voice vote passed the so-called Fryingpan (Arkansas River project in Colo rado, a multi-purpose water con trol project, for irrigation, flood control and hydroelectric produc tion. It took bi-partisan action to pass the measure, which seeks to divert water from the upper Colo rado river into the Arkansas river yalley. Project cost will run ap proximately $156,541,000 with $67,653 allocated to irrigation and $44,551,000 to power, with $17.8 foillion for flood control. » George Washington Medal which was presented to Paul Green of North Carolina, for writing the Civil War Drama, WILDERNESS ROAD, a drama produced by Berea College and directed by Sam Selden, which continues each week-night through Aug. at Berea, Ky.

We're in a National Traffic Emergency Which Threatens Our Health and Wealth . ) We're in the midst of a national traffic emergency. It threatens the life, limb and pocketbook of every one of us. I The traffic fatality problem is not confined to the congested larger cities. In fact, three times as many are killed in rural areas and in towns under 2,500 popula tion than in the larger cities. The highest rural death totals are re corded in July, August, September and October. The awesome outlook is that j within the next 12 months you or some one of each of four drivers in your neighborhood is marked sta ftlstlcally to be in an automobile accident. Within the next 10 years one of every four families can expect to be stunned by the news that a loved one has been hurt, crippled, maimed, disfigured for life or killed in a traffic smashup. I Traffic injury expectancy, ac cording to safety engineers, for the Kemper Insurance group, indicates that few children today can ex pect to go through life without be ing hurt—yes, hurt—in a motoring mishap. I Frightening, you say? Appar ently not frightening enough. ! Last year more time, effort, money and energy was expended I than during any previous year to .stop the slaughter on our streets. And what happened? _ We killed 38,300 of our fellow citizens—2,3oo more than the pre vious year and an estimated i 1,500,000 received injuries.

IMS the United- States has provided $65,200,000,000 In foreign aid. Tex as taxpayers have contributed $2,751,440,000 of this amount or an average expenditure of i 5808.78 per person. Few people would complain If they thought this* money for foreign aid was accomplishing the desired results. There is i much cause to doubt that tile expenditures are doing this, how ever. The motive behind foreign aid is to aid people of other lands Improve their economic I condition, create friendship for us, and to strengthen the cause of democracies against the for ward march of Communism. 1 Just how much of this aim has been realized? Agitation for us to pull out our troops is reach ing an all-time high, according to reports from overseas. Signs , reading “Go Home Yank” are appearing on every hand, even in England, which has always been considered, our strongest ally ... we have witnessed the appalling spectacle of Marshal Tito playing footsie with Russia and pledging undying cooperation with this, our greatest potential enemy. We buried thousands of American boys in Korea, wherein we furnished most of the men and money. We have seen Britain The economic loss was more than $4 billion, or enough to re duce the income tax of every family about SIOO. This year we’re putting even more money, time and extra effort into solving our traffic problem than last year. But instead of get ting better the picture Is worse. Homicide on the hignway is hit ting an alarming record pace in 1958. At the rate we’re going so far this year, 42,000 Americans will die violently in traffic—the highest total in our histroy.' Sometime within the next five or so years, we’re likely to pass the 50,000 mark in violent traffic deaths. Accident pressures are mounting steadily as more and more high powered cars roll off the produc tion lines each year on to our al ready overcrowded streets and highways. Twenty years ago about 27,000.000 motor vehicles were registered in the country. This year the figure Is more than 60,000,000 and it’s going up daily. Meanwhile, our highway system has become woefully inadequate. Very little road building went on during World War II and during the early postwar years. Despite the high pitch of current activi ties on the local, state and federal levels, it will be many years—if ever—before our highway facili ties can be considered adequate, authorities Assert.

We have heard her demand the right to sell strategic materials to communist-dominated nations, We do have some bases foti operations at overseas but we wonder how effective these are. The administration tells us that we are under ant atomic attack from Russia and that we need advance bases from which to launch retaliatory actlonj Have they forgotten that we had advance bases at Pearl HarJ bor, Guam, Wake Island and in the Fhllllplnes in 1941? Have they forgotten that the first action of Japan was to knock out these bases? Have they forgotten that had Japan followed up her Initial knockout blow on these bases she could easily have invaded the United States Itself? What reason do we have for thinking that Russia °will not attach and destroy these bases we have today at or about the same, time she bombs thi U.S.? ,» Our only possible excuse foi the tremendous foreign aid ap propriations In the past has beet to build friendship and act in i humanitarian manner toward! people made destitute by war, We have apparently failed in this, so we believe It is high time w« begin conserving our resources! i in the war against traffic acci-j dents? Yes, we have. But it’s been strictly on the statistical side. | This so-called progress can be seen in what is called the "jarafflc death rate" which is based on 100,000,000 miles of motor vehicle' travel. In 1930 the death rate was 15.1. In 1954 It dropped to a low of' 6.4. Last year, it remained at. 6.4.) In terms of actual lives lost.) however, we Americans have) worked feverishly to stop this slaughter, but have been unable, to hold the line. Although the death rate per million miles has been going down, the number of persons killed has been going up ward for the past 13 years. Through all the carnage the public has been strangely apathet ic. Sure, everyone knows we have a problem and recognizes the threat. But the killing continues. I It’s going to continue—and get worse —until you, your friends and, your neighbors get alarmed At the threat to you, personally, and get angry enough to demand a, solution, to insist on one and to; join In efforts to stop this highway i carnage. In the remaining articles in this, i special emergency series, we will explode some of the phony ideas) l that have handicapped the traffic! t safety drive and we will present) ■ facts that will help you decide! , what you can do to save your own] life and the lives of your lovedl ' oncs - r'-.ij
