Traffic accidents killed 76 people
and injured 59T others in South
Carolina during September, Chief
Commissioner Claude R. McMillan |
of the State Highway Department,
said yesterday. This brought the j
total for the first ni^e months of 1
1951 to 521 dead, an increase of
12.5 per cent over the first nine
months of 1950.
Accidents in Laurens county j
killed 2 and injured 22.
There were two auto-train colli
sions during September, Mr. Mc
Millan said, resulting in three in-|
juries. The highway executive add
ed that, although there were no \
September deaths from such colli-
Extension Laurens
Limits Proposed;
Election Likely
Laurens, Nov. 10.—An extension
of the current road improvement
program in Laurens and approval
j of a petition from a group of land
owners on the Greenwood road area
seeking to extend the city limits
were the two main issues voted on
, by the city council Monday night.
The petition requesting admit
tance into the city was approved
on the motion of Alderman DaHas
Dendy, seconded by Alderman Joe
F. Smith, clearing the way for a
nfy-wide election possibly within
the next 30 to 60 days. The peti
tion carried the names of 24 land
i owners, 20 for and four against.
The present city limits would be
extended to the intersection of
Chestnut extension and the Green
wood road, just this side of Bolt's
Service Station.
Martin G Wallace was spokes
man for the group and declared that
most of the residents felt that en
tering the city would not only bring
added benefits, such as water sup
ply and garbage disposal, but
would aid in controlling speeding
traffic.
After the council voted to ap
prove the petition, Mayor Medlock
warned residents not to expect
sewarage in the near future “as it
is financially impossible"
The curb and guttering program
was doubled when $20,000 was ap
propriated on the motion of Al
derman James L. Brownlee, sec
onded by Alderman Dendy.
The councilmen were also given
copies of two ordinances Monday
concerning natural gas for the city.
They met Tuesday and approved
the ordinances which provided for
the issuance and sale of $1,3000,000
worth of bonds for the natural gas
system into the city, and also pre
scribes the regulations and rates to
be charged for the service.
Among the other business mat
ters attended to Monday night was
the appointment of Alderman Smith
and Dendy by the mayor to study
•the possibility of an ordinance for
the protection of birds, which was
urged earlier in the meeting by
Mrs. R. P. Swofford, spokesman of
the six garden clubs of the city.
sions, this type of accident caused
38 fatalities during 1950, or six per
cent of all South Carolina highway
deaths. This w r as a substantial in
crease over 1949. Mr. McMillan
urged particular caution at railroad
crossings right now, saying that
cold weather caused auto windows
to be shut tight and therefore made
it hard to hear an approaching
train, while early darkness made
it hard to see.
Of those killed, 13 were pedes
trians, as were 47 of the injured.
Three children under 15 were
killed, and 21 were injured.
There were a total of 1,382 acci
dents during September. Drivers
involved numbered 2,337, fo whom
1.044 committed one or more ^raf
fle violations. These violations
were: not granting right-of-way,
270; exceeding posted speed. 196;
drinking drivers. 191; on the wrong
side of the road, not in passing,
133, following other vehicles too
closely. 129; passing improperly.
83; and making improper turns, 60.
Administration
Token Iftd For
FEPC Expected
Washington, Nov. 11.—The Tru
man Administration will make a
bid for enactment of civil rights
legislation in the next congress in
a move some supporters say can
be little more than a token gesture.
Chairman Humphrey - (D-Minn)
has called for hearings early in
Januapr by a Senate Labor sub
committee on a Fair Employment
Practices Commission (FEPC) bill.
That will start rolling a move
ment that probably will wind up
J with a week’s filibuster by South-
I ern Democrats, sometime before
j the political nominationg conven-
] tions, and shelving of the measure
for another year.
Civil rights will be an issue be
fore the Democratic convention,
however, and may figure in a pos
sible “bolt” of party members in
the South if President Truman is
renominated.
Humphrey told a reporter dur
ing a recent visit the civil rights
advocates will make a sincere e f*
fort to get a measure before the
Senate. But he conceded that “we
probably can’t do much” under
present Senate rules.
Senator Murray (D-Mont), a
member of the Humphrey sub
committee, said he looks for an in
conclusive outcome.
Senator Russell (D-Ga), who has
captained Dixie Democrats in pre
vious successful efforts to prevent
passage of civil rights legislation,
said the Southern forces will be
ready for whatever comes.
The FEPC bill is the core of a
series of civil rights measures of
fered by Humphrey and others and
is the chief target of Dixie op
position. It would forbid discrim
ination in employment on account
of race, color or creed and findings
of the Federal commission admin
istering the law would be enforce
able in the courts.
Humphrey’s subcommittee is ex
pected to approve such a measure,
after hearings have been held, the
full labor committee can be expect-
Taft (R-Ohio)—who favors a “vol-
ed to overrule objections by its
Southern members and by Senator
untary” FEPC—and report the bill
to the Senate.
But there the Southerners can
step in. It takes 64 affirmative
votes to end a filibuster against
such a bill and its supporters know
they have little chance to muster
that number. (
Humphrey said the only solu
tion he can see is to change the
rules. But that also would take 64
affirmative votes, if the Dixie con
tingent chose to filibuster, as it
would.
