The death rate for rural roads was 74 per cent, of the total, and only 26 per cent, for cities, towns, and villages. The safety expert explains that driver fatigue after traveling lonp is a greater menace than the crowded traffic of the big towns. And he recommends that) civilian driver starling off on this year's vacation follow the U. S. Army formula: 1.

Keep the car windows open. 2. Stop for coffee or other alert ness beverage every two hours. 3. If drowsy stop the car and get out and exercise briskly.

4. Chan'gu drivers every hours, if possible. 5. Finally, the driver who finds tic is getting sleepy should pul off the road and -take a nap. Mr.

Harris points out thai after the army made Us fatigue study In 1946 and required drivers to take a 10-minute coffee "break" every two hours the accident rale among service drivers dropped 3 per cent. Many drivers on runs already practice the army formula, but all should observe it You often note while touring tha many a big truck is pulled up 01 the side of the road and you as isume the driver is taking a nap which he is.

Russia Makes Bid for Turk Friendship PARIS (UP) Soviet Russia, in a major bid for better relations with Turkey, has claim to Turkish Ammunition Probe Gains Solace By ELTON C. FAY WASHINGTON the dust has settled Now that and debate has died away, the Army finds some solace in the senatorial investigation of ammunition shortages. Economy trends had whittled appropriation proposals for ammunition to a fraction of the requested amount earlier this year. But Congress and the admniistration, alarmed by the charges of previous critical shortages in -ammunition, restored to the budget much of the money originally requested this purpose, it was learned Itoday.

Informants said also that Russia had agreed to permit Turkey to use water power from its Ser- darabad dam near the frontier. Knowland Takes Over Leadership From Ailing Taft WASHNOTON Sen.
