With S-D Day over in the East and Midwest, the National Safety Council listed an official death toll of 58. Figures were kept for the period from midnight Wednesday to midnight Thursday (local time). The Associated Press kept a nationwide tab on the figures, and had a toll of 58 for the same period reported by the Safety Coun-cil.

Miller said that "we are convinced, however, that the effects of this campaign will pay off in the saving of human life in the days that follow. We hope that the figures substantiate this when the 21-day period of 'this safe driving campaign ends on Dec. 11." Despite rain, snow or high winds over much of California, the num ber of traffic deaths in the state remained few Thursday. Six deaths were reported.

Rain fell throughout Northern and Central California and along Southern California coastal valleys and it was snowing in the Sierra Nevada end above 6,000 feet in Southern California.

Young Democrats Adopt Strong Civil Rights Resolution OKLAHOMA CITY W-A strong civil rights resolution commending states complying with desegregation was adopted Thursday night by the resolutions committee of the national convention of Young Democrats over Southern opposition. The vote was 9-8 for the reso lution, stronger than another ap proved earlier. Members of the California delegation introduced the new resolu tion. It commends the U. S.

Supreme Court and Interstate Commerce Commission for decisions ordering integration in classrooms and on public carriers. There was some hesitancy to praise the two agencies which have had recent Republican appoint ments. But Richard Nevins, Pasadena, who led his committee's fight for the resolution, said that was not the issue. "I think we should commend them whether they are Republicans or not," he said. "The Supreme Court and, I sup pose the ICC, could have ruled on segregation anytime in the last 50 years." "This resolution is a must as far as California is concerned," Nevins said.

Reaction of GOP leaders to the President's announcement ranged from uncertainty about the role he will play to a firm belief that he will be a candidate. The President's message to the Republican National Committee contained this key paragraph: "You have a splendid record to submit to the voters in 1956.

I personally am proud of Republican achievements for the peace and the prosperity and the security of the American people. I shall do everything in my power next year to help you report the record accurately and fully to the country." APPLAUSE AND CHEERS The telegram was read by Chairman Leonard W.
