TRUCK FLEETS OF CITY LAUNCH SAFETY CONTEST

Traffic Laws to Be Taught,

Co-operation Planned at | Driver School.

The Inter-Fleet Safety Contest was launched today after a meeting of program committees yesterday in the Hotel Antlers. The contest is designed to help reduce traffic accidents in Indianapolis. The meeting was the first* for the committee appointed recently by Mayor Boetcher. Representatives of several large business houses which operate fleets of trucks pledged support. Principal features of the contest were outlined by Jerry C. Scher, Kroger Grocery & Baking Co. transportation superintendent, who conceived the idea. Driving laws will be taught and plans for co-operation among various fleet drivers outlined at a school for drivers. Many leading busiressmen made short talks in ravor of the contest. They were Beuford C. Hall, manager of Greyhound Lines, Inc; Thomas Ruckelshaus, president of Red Cab, Inc.; Charles W. Chase, president of Indianapolis Railways: George Hilgemeier of F. Hilgemeier & Bro, A. Ewing Sinclair, superintendent of Kingan & Co.; J. Walter Hannon, general plant superintendent of the Indiana Bell Telephone Company, and William Fortune, chairman of the American Red Cross.

Average Accident Costs City $43,000

Prof. J. J. Lingo, Purdue University, had told the Indianapolis Civic Safety League today that the economic cost to a community of an accident averaged $43,000. He said that figure was computed after a survey of all types of accidents and the economic 'osses resulting therefrom, 3 “The three ‘Es’ of effective safety are education, engineering and enforcement,” he said. “Each of these divisions of traffic safety is essential to the solution of the problems. Too many foolish panaceas already have been offered and too . many preaching solutions have been emphasized. It is time the whole thing was approached with scientific consideration and accepted by individuals. “One of the essential steps to be | taken in initiating a safety program in a city the size of Indianapolis is a full time traffic engineer. He could make a competent survey of traffic conditions, routing, parking, and have all accidents report-

order by the completion in midDecember of a 218-signature petition to discharge the Rules Committee from further consideration of a resolution to bring the amendment to the floor. Majority signature of a discharge petition hertofore always has been followed, almost automatically, by actual discharge of the committee in question. In this instance, however, adoption by the House of the motion to discharge was vigorously opposed by the President and the

Secretary of State. Opposed by Administration There was no likelihod that the amendment itself would obtain the two-thirds votes necessary to its approval, but the Administration feared that a show of willingness on the part of Congress even to consider such an amendment would weaken the executive branch in its dealings with foreign powers. When the roll call was taken, the House did the President's bidding

and refused, by a vote of 188 yeas, to

209 nays, to bring the Ludlow amendment to the floor. Including pairs and announcements of position, the division in the House was 196 fer consideration to 214 against consideration, with the positions of 22 members remaining unknown. Of the 218 members who signed the discharge petition, only 150 voted actually to go through with the discharge against the wishes of the Administration. Twelve signers failed to vote and 53 voted “nay.” (One member died and two resigned after signing the petition.) Of the 53 who thus reversed themselves, only one was a Republican (Reece of Tennessee) ; 52 were members of the President’s party. The Indiana delegation divided, 8 to 4, for consideration of the Ludlow amendment. Those who voted for consideration were: Reps. Halleck, Pettengill, Griswold, Greenwood, Boehne, Crowe, Gray and Ludlow.

Republican support increased after it became known that the President opposed its consideration. If the outcome had been determined by Republican votes alone, the amendment would have been adopt-

lity. Republican Leader Snell, how= ever, voted against its consideration.

Ma jorities against the amendment were given by delegations from the Middle Atlantic, South Atlantic, Pacific and South Central States. The four other geographical areas gave majorities for the amendment. No state delegation voted solidly against the amendment. States with more than one member which solid: ly supported the amendment were Wisconsin, Kansas, North Dakota. South Dakota and Utah. The interior states gave 117 votes for and 99 votes against consideration, while the Atlantic and Pacific seaboard states voted 71 yea to 110

OIL INDUSTRY'S GAIN IN 1937 PUT AT 8 PER CENT

Chicagoan to Address Three Indiana Divisions Here Tomorrow.

General business recession has not affected the oil industry to a serious extent, according to Amos Ball, Chicago, Standard Oil Co. of Indiana general sales manager, who is to address three Indiana divisions meeting at Indianapolis Athletic Club tomorrow. “The oil business has enjoyed a steady increase every year,” Mr. Ball said. “During much of 1937 the gain was at a rate of more than 8 per cent. But unless conditions improve we may expect a slackening or an actual decline in 1938.” Executives of the Evansville and South Bend divisions are to be the guests of R. 8, Orr, loal manager, at tomorrow's meeting. Special guests are to be R. F. McConnell, assistant general sales manager; Wesley I. Nunn, advertising manager; R. C. McKee, assistant advertising manager, and H. E. Hanson.
