1189 ACCIDENTS INVOLVE PUPILS

IN 1939 AND 40

50 Per Cent Occur During

. Non-Supervised Activities, | Council Told.

By EARL HOFF

Non-supervised activities - outside ‘the home and the school were most - .dangerous to school children during 1939-1940, the Indianapolis Safety Education Council learned yesterday. Pifty per cent of 1189 accidents and six of eight fatalities occurred in this area, William A. Evans, public | school safety director, told the ‘council during a~-meeting in the In-

diana War Memorial Building.

Of the remaining accidents, 22.5

cent in school buildings, 5.2 per cent on school grounds, and 4.5 per cent on the way to and from school, Mr. Evans. said. There were 122 accidents and one fatality to school children last month, Mr. -Evans reported. Sergt. A. C. Magenheimer of the Police Department pointed out that the city's traffic safety record for the year up to Wednesday was far below that of 1939 “because adults have set a bad example for children.” ' This year, Sergt. Magenheimer said, there were 2452 accidents and

78 fatalities chargeable to traffic as|

compared to 2264 injuries and 51

deaths in 1939.

Pedestrians, he pointed out, remain the worst problem, accounting for 47 of this year’s fatalities. Thir-ty-five of these, he said, occurred to pedestrians crossing in the middle of a black. . While the police depar tment made only 21,353 traffic arrests this year as compared with 21,920 for last year, 7082 accidents have been in-

‘_yestigated as compared with 5252 in

1939. He said 29,354 traffic stickers have been distributed to motorists so far this year.

He doesn’t think the field is any more crowded than it was when he started practice in - Spencer, Ind., in 1873. “There were too many lawyers then, too,” he said. Mr. Pickens has no tips on how to live a long time. He smokes not only one cigar after each meal—but “more than that.” He calls them stogie cigars, pays 2 cents apiece for them and they come -in packages of 10, he | says. Took Up Golf at 60

When he was 60, he took up golf and cigarets, quitting both when he was about 84. At the former he shot around 100—often under—and he caused a “young judge” to give up the game when he gave him a sound trouncing on the Indianapolis Country Club links. Mr. Pickens has owned all sorts of automobiles, he said, and has {one now. He still keeps a close tab on what goes on at the office lin the Fletcher Trust Bldg. and he has a secretary there. He was active until about seven years ago. | The second “Pickens” in‘ the ! quadruple firm is his son, Owen.

take the job because—in his own ‘words—of the “munificent salary” ($25 a month). He came to Indianapolis in 1886 but he can’t see any great-change in the city since, that time. “It was pretty big then, know.” Talking to him at his home, 1901 N. Pennsylvania St, one soon gathers there's no use in asking him the questions so often asked of a man his age. Mr. Pickens isn't that old.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

U. S. PREDICTS BOOM IN PLANE INDUSTRY JOBS &

Grand Total Employment of 555,000 Men Is Seen for Fall of 1941.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 (U. P.).

today that on the basis of contracts already placed, the aircraft industry will require 455,500 workers in August, 1941, an increase of about 252,000 men over employment in October this year.

That increase is a conservative figure of labor requirements, A. F. Hinrichs, assistant commissioner of labor statistics, told war, navy and defense commission officials, pointing out that the figure does not include the expansion necessary in accessory manufacturing plants or an estimated 40,000 workers for two plants under construction. “The grand total employment in sight for the fall of 1941 already approximates 555,000 workers,” he said.

Expansion Irregular

“This means that within the year the aircraft industry will become almost the largest employer of factory workers in the country, while two years ago it was an almost insignificant industry so far as employment was concerned.” The expansion will be irregular, he said, with the largest increase expected in May when about 44,000 workers will be added. The smallest rise will be in February when about 12,000 new men wil be employed. About 190,000 of thete workers will be required in the airframe, engine and propellor plnats, he said. Pacific Coast airframe factory employment, during the period will increase from 70,000 to:125,000; Atlantic Coast, from 29,000 to 81,000; and interior plants and those on the Canadian border, from 19,000 to 79,000. : Bomber Work Excluded

Aero-engine factories will employ about 22,000 additional workers, raising Atlantic Coast plants from 25,600 in October to 33,500 in August, 1941, and interior and Canadian border plants from 7800 to 22,000. Employment in interior plants, he said, is expected to rise to 29,000 by February, 1942, “It is particularly to be noted,” Mr. Henricks continued, “that these estimates do not include any allowance for additional workers needed for the production of 24,000 more bombers now under discussion. This program may well double the number of additional workers required.”

PRINCESS JULIANA ENDS CAPITOL VISIT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 (U. P.) — Crown Princess Juliana of the Netherlands left for New York today, ending a three-day visit with President and Mrs. Roosevelt. Shortly before noon, the princess drove to Union Station from the White House, boarded a private car placed at ner disposal by the Government. Arriving in New York, she was to motor to the Waldorf Astoria hotel. The royal refugee was the guest of honor at a White House state dinner last night which was attended by High Government officials, members of the diplomatic corps, and persons prominent in New york and Chicago society. The guests included Baroness de vos Van Steenwyk, Juliana's lady in waiting, and her husband, ‘Admiral Baron de vos Van Steenwyk; Crown Princess Martha of Norway, also a refugee in America; ‘Netherlands Minister to the United States and Mrs. A. Loudon: Hendrik Willem Van Loon, noted Dutch author, and Mrs. Van Loon; Secretary of State and Mrs. Cordell Hull; Undersecretary of State and Mrs. Sumner Welles; Mrs. Woodrow Wilson; William C: Bullitt, former U.
