1949 Set Record
In U. S. Safety Rate
But Was Still Costly
Chicago, Feb. 7.—America scored
its best safety rate on* recortLJast
! yfear—but the cost in dead and in
jured still vies with the nation’s bat
tle losses in World War I.
| This is the- JJ. S. 1949 toll from
jccidentJK ...
Killed—914300. '., v , ■ ‘L.
Injured-9.400,006'.-
The cost—$7,200,000,000.
U. S. losses in World War I were
126,000 killed or died and 234,300 in
jured. The estimated war cost to
this country was $33,413,000,000.
. The National Safety ~ council,
which released the figures, said to
day that th« nation's 1949 all acci
dent death rate was 91.2 per hun
dred thousand population. This is
the lowest since such records were
'first compiled in 1900. The previous
| low rate was 64.3 in 1948, when 94,1
000 were killed.
; Still, one out of every 16 persons
in the nation suffered a disabling in
jury in 1949.-
The safety rate improved over
; 1948 in all major divisions,
j Motor vehicles accidents killed
31,500, a 2 per cent decline from the
32,259 toll in 1948 and well below
.the 39,639 killed in the record high
year 1941. The death rate per 100,
) 000,000 miles was estimated on the
basis of preliminary data at 7.4, also
! the lowest on record,
j However ; 19.49 traffic accidents
caused approximately 1,100,000 non-
! fatal injuries and destroyed or dam-
i aged $1,100,000,000 Worth of prop
erty. All costs, including rtfedteal
expenses, overhead cost Of insurance
and motor vehicle property damage,
’ reached $2,800,000,000.
The December, 1949, traffic toll
was 3,150—a 2 per cent increase ov
er December, 1948.
Home accidents, a close second,
killed 30,560 in 1949, a 3 per cent
drop from the 31,500 toll in 1948. Oc
cupational accidents killed 15,000
compared with 16,000 in 1948 and
public (excluding motor vehicle) ac
cidents took a toll of 16,000, a drop
of 500 from 1948.
Of the 1,000 reduction ih occupa
tional deaths, 400 were in the coal
mining industry. The council said
there were no major mine disasters
in 1949 but that strikes and a short
work week played an important part
in the improvement.
Falls were the big villain in home
accidents, killing 24,200—two per
cent fewer than In 1948. Burns killed
7,800, drownings 6,800 and firearms
2,200 _ . . .
Only three catastrophies in 1949
tooli as many as 50 lives each. They
wer$ a hospital fire at Effingham,

Washington, Feb. 8.—Outstanding
, in its far-reaching consequences, a
major event of the first water dur
ing the past week in Washington is
I the apparent collapse of the coun-
\ try’s bi-partisan foreign policy.
| For strange as it may seem, this
1 so-called isolationist group of sena
tors who were the loudest and mostf
active against military aid to Eur-
.ope and the tremendous appropria
tions for the European recovery pro-!
gram has been the most vocal dur
ing the past several days in demand
ing intervention and. the sending of
the United States navy to hold For
mosa, a small island 100 miles off the
China "coast, for the disintegrating '
nationalist Chinese government.
This paradoxical situation in the [
senate has led many here to ’k re-,
appraisal of just how strong our bi
partisan support has been. And the
fair and accurate Congressional,
Quarterly Service in Washington has
recapitulated the foreign policy vot-
'es in senate and house to find thati
in the entire congress, the votes on!
measures affecting foreign policy
twere as a matter of fact 52.4 per S
,cent partisan and not bi-partisan at'^
!aU - . if
' According to Congressional
i terly, their tabulation shows that out'n
I of a total of 44 roll-call votes ort'fi
( foreign poliefr matters in the senate,
j exactly one half of them showed a
majority Of Democrats voted one
way and a majority of Republicans
the opposite. So here were 22 parti
san roll calls.
The other 22 ballots had a major-
itf of each party voting the
way, so these were bi-partisan roll
calls.
In the house, however, there nev
er was such a balance. Out of a total
of 17 foreign policy roll calls, only,
seven had the support of a majority
of Democrats and Republicans alike. 1
The remaining 10 roll calls were par-1
tisan. .. j
So, says Congressional Quarterly, 1
“Combining the house and senate 1
roll calls, which total 61, the com
plexion of foreign policy action in
congress in 1949 was distinctly a
partisan one. The total of 29 bi
partisan votes was shaded by a total 1
of 32 partisan ones. Percentage- i
wise, foreign policy was 52.4 per cent
partisan.’'
The recapitulation shows further'
that on appropriations relating to
foreign policy, this, partisan showing"'j
runs as high as 75 per cent. For in-jj
stance, in the house there were three! j
record 1 vdtes on foreign policy appro
priations. ' All three were partisan
with a majority of Democrats and a
majority of Republicans voting on !
opposite sides. These three votes
were on taking up the state depart
ment appropriations bill, on continu
ing the ECA “watchdog 1 ’ committee
and on providing $150 million in loan
authority to ECA.
In the senate there were 13 record
votes on foreign policy appropriation
measures. Nine were partisan and §
only four were bi-partisan. So dut
of a total of 16 record votes in house!
appropriations, only four were bi-1 chair decision that art amendment ! made byl some senators ti> kill or
