[ sccording to the Association’s
udy, His civilian counterpart in
qific accidents, “Victim X,” died
out 110 days later. Both “GI
" and “Vietim X” will remain
known, it added, although some
temrpts have been made to es
blish the identity of the mil
nth traffic victim, of which no
e can be certain because of in
mplete early statistics.
However, the deaths of these
storic victims of war and the
tomobile a little more than
ree and a half months apart
ve centered attention on the
lative deadliness of occasional
merican wars and daily traffic
cidents, the Association said in
inting cut that within two
onths the automobile will take a
nmanding lead as the deadlier
i the two wholesale destroyers of
merican lives. B
Bigger Killer
“Americans must face the fact
t the automobile is a bigger
iller of their sons and daughters
1 our wars,” said Thomas N,
oate, public safety director-of-the
sociation-and acting ma: 7of
accident prevention ufiart
ent, in commenting on the study:
The new year should witness the
t determined effort ever made

ous loss of life in highway

was more than five times gre:nér.
It reached 4.4 deaths per 100,000
Americans in 1913, For the first
six-months of last year it was 24.8
deaths per 100,000 persons in the
nation, This compares with 20.8
in 1937, highest point of motor
vehicle deaths computed on a pop
ulation basis. In that year 39,643
deaths occurred, the second high
est toll in history and only several
hundred below the peak of 39.969
fatalities in 1941, when teh motor
vehicle death rate was 30.0 per
100,000 population.
Second Decade
In the second decade, 1910-19,
there were 62,969 automobile fa
talities. They, climbed to 209,894 in
the twenties, and in the wollowing
years, 1930-39, reached the peak
of any decade to date, with 342,588
traffic deaths recorded. Travel re
strictions of the war years lowered
to 308,827 the toll of the 1940-49
decade, but as the second half of
the century started, fatalities in
1950 rose 3,500 over the previous
year and for 1951 were estimated
at 37,500, some 2500 higher than
in 1950. These bhig increases in
deaths have given an ominous
start to the second half of the
century with respect to motor ve
hicle fatalities, the Association
said. This decade’s fatalities so far
total about 72,500 for the first
two years, commpared with 66,600
for the first two years of the “ter
rible thirties,” jt said, or some
6,000 higher.
American war casualties during
the first 18 months of fighting in
Korea averaged 33 deaths per day,
the same toll that prevailed in the
first year of the war to last June
25. On U. S. highways the auto
mobile fatality toll for the identi
cal 18 months since the start ot
the Korean war has been com
puted by the Association at 103
deaths per day, four higher than
the daily average for traffic
deaths during the first of the
year,
Military Dead
The Defense Department total
of 17,800 American military fa
talities in Korea in 18 months ex
cludes any of the 10,650 currently
listed as missing, 3,200 of whom
have been listed by Conmmunist
negotiators at Panmunjom as pris
oners of the Red forces.
The Association’s study showed
that while U. S. military deaths
climebd from 986,247 at the start
of the Korean war to approxi
mately 1,004,000 as of Christmas
Day, in the same 18-month period
traffic fatalities rose at a three
times swifter pace, from 944,000
to the 1,000,000 mark reached on
December 22.
During January of last year
2,840 deaths occurred on the high
ways, a 20 percent increase over
the previous January, and 2,260
persons died in accidents in Feb
ruary. If these tolls are exceeded
in the wegks just ahead, the As
sociation said, by mid-February or
soon afterwards the all-time total
of automobile deaths will exceed
the aggregate of the nation’s mil
itary deaths for the first time.
CERAMICS SHIPMENT
ARRIVES X
NEW YORK—(AP)—The first
of an extensive shipment of cera
mics, the work of Japanese artists,
is on display at the Pottery of All
Nation’s Shop here.
The pieces are the work of cera
micists Hammada and Narui.
Their work is said to combine an
almost crude technique with sud
den precise attention to detail. The
character of the clay available in
Japan' may account for some of
the pitted and pebbly texture that
other ceramicists find difficult to
achieve.
WORLD’S LARGEST PIANO
LONDON —(AP)— What is de
scribed as the world’s largest
piano will be shown next May at
the British Industries Fair.
The instrument weighs one ton
and i€ 11 feet 8 inches long.
Claimed to have exceptional qual
ity and tone, the bass notes having
great depth because the strings
are twice as long as those of a
normal piano.
Chicago is the crossroads of the
nation’s railroads.
