Such a schedule represents the involved drivers, according to the very lowest an offender can expect to pay, and contemplates an abrupt increase for aggravated figures released today by the Utah Safety Council. 46 Salt Lake City drivers were involved in cases. The strict adherence to the scheme of this schedule should go far to remedy the prob40 fatal accidents which killed 55 persons, while drivers were involved in 50 lem of drivers who ignore safety appeals.

This latter fact has been characteristic of the entire year and accounts for the excessive Despite the relatively good record of the total of 246 deaths. For example, 3 separate large majority of good, drivers, the fact that we now seem to be killing annually over 200 people accidents killed 22 persons, while 13 accidents killed 53 persons, or an average of better than in traffic, injuring thousands of others, and sufaccident in this fering $20,000,000 in economic losses, indicate 4 deaths per multiple-fata- l that more rigid and stringent controls over vegrouping. The Safety Council spokesman pointed out hicular travel are in the offing, by state and that it is not so much that we are having more local governments. SucTi stricter controls would accidents than before, but those we do have are be not only with respect to the driver licensing more severe. This can be construed in two laws, but applicable to actual traffic movement as well. Serious consideration is even being ways, complimentary to the average motorist because he is driving more carefully in the face devoted to proposals to organize a private citizen of increased exposure, created by increased ve- - vigilante system to watch over the action of hide registration and individual car use, and fellow motorists. The only way such developcondemnatory of that small fraction of drivers ments can be stalled off or blocked will be reductions in annual traffic tolls. The involved in accidents for making them so bad achievement of the latter rests largely upon the when they do have them.

It looks almost certain that Eisenhower will ask th U. N. to bring two Chinese Nationalist divisions into the Korean war, one to be kept at the front, the other behind the front, and rotated. Gen. Mark Clark, who long has wanted to use troops from t Formosa, argued that it was a good Idea to test the Nationalists under fire . . , Chief objection to using Chiang's troops, it was agreed, is the British, but it was also believed the British would go along if the idea is handled diplomatically. Mac-Arthu- r's ; Navy Ambassador It looks like fiery, redheaded Adm. Arthur Radford, commander of the U.S. fleet in the Pacific, has talked himself into a potent position with the President-EleMost navy men have been dubious about Eisenhower's attitude toward the navy, figured that as a lifelong army man he would favor his own branch of the service. However, persuasive Admiral Radford, scheduled to see Eisenhower for exactly one hour at Iwo Jima, stayed on for the entire trip. Elsenhower's stop at Iwo was to refuel and give the Presidentelect a chance to stretch his legs. There Admiral Radford met him, and at the end of one hour's talk with Radford, Ike came back to his plane and asked the pilot: "Can't we make room for the Admiral?" So Radford went along. Furthermore, he had such a way with Elsenhower that he persuaded him to revamp his schedule and stop off at Radford's guest house in Hawaii. The cruise on the Helena had been arranged well before Eisenhower left the U. S. A., but the stopover in Hawaii was not on the schedule. Original plans called for Eisenhower's departure by air from Hawaii immediately after the Admiral v Helena docked. However, Radford has so ingratiated himself with the President-Elec- t by this time that arrangements were changed. Actually, no military strategy ' was discussed at Hawaii. The President - Elect golfed and relaxed.

Roughly, here is what Eisenhower wrote out in longhand and planned to say; If President Truman had gone to Korea it would have been political demagoguery, since Mr. Truman is a politician and doesn't have the military background to assess such a situation.
