Standard-Post More GPs may be killed on highways than in Viet Nam The weather story SACRAMENTO. Call! figures in the hands of the California Highway Patrol are correct more American GI's may be killed or maimed on the nation highways I.ab'ir Day than die or aye wounded in Viet Nam in the tame period. According to 'he patrol 2.fi">2 servicemen died in road accidents in tnis countrv lait year, as against 1.369 killed in service in Viet Nam. Too often, says Highway Patrol Commissioner Bradford Crnenden, a soldier cheats death in combat and then comes home to a fiery end in a highway accident. He thinks something needs to be done about it and he has a plan.

The commissioner wants the federal government to LBJ stresses public's part in 'Great Society 7 WASHINGTON' CAP) President said in a Labor Day statement Saturday night that "every segment of American life labor, government, business, the public at large has a special stake in extending our prosperity to those it has eluded for too "By vigorous of a vast national wealth, energy and intelligence. I am confident, on this day. that we can shape our society so that a useful and productive life may be the birthright of every American." Johnson said. "That is our lasting goal." Johnson said working men and women have been the dynamic force behind the most continuous, widely shared economic advance ever known to any people, anywhere in history- "What was a dream in the early days of the New security and Social Security, unemployment compensation, Medicare, good realities of today," Johnson caid. Achieving the "Great Society," Johnson said, "is not the job of the President alone.

It is not the sole responsibility of Congress. It is the duty, and should be the special goal, of every citizen." He said Labor Day is a time to focus on new ways to assure every citizen an equal share in the greatness of America. Johnson added, "to accomplish this we must: "Establish a domestic good neighbor policy in every block in every city. "Provide greater economic balance to assure that every working American is freed from poverty and shielded from the threat of inflation. "Provide even more recreational facilities so that all may enjoy to the fullest their leisure time." "Social and economic justice is the basic goal of the Great Society," Johnson said.

"Work- ing people and their organizations are leaders in the pursuit of 'his national goal. "Once, the free trade union movemen' chaneled its efforts toward giving individual workers strength in their struggle with the privileged few. in the time of the privileged many. American labor works behalf of the disadvan- taed poor, the victims of racial injustice, the elderly." a refresher course in driving techniques, highway safety and traffic laws for all servicemen returning from Kxeept for persons assigned to drive military vehicles, many servicemen have little opportunity to drive while on foreign duty. Some of them simply forget how to handle a car.

Crittenden said. He is convinced a nationwide series of traffic seminars would save lives. And he has the figures to support him. For the past two years, the highway patrol has been conducting traffic briefings aboard aircraft carriers returning to the ports of San Diego and San Francisco. "The Navv tells us." Crittenden said, "that these briefings resulted in a marked decline in the number of deaths and injuries among returning personnel.

"We can only hope the program spreads among armed forces commands elsewhere in the country."

The Nation's capital should not be an "alcoholic oasis" for beer-drinking teen-agers. 2.

A boy who's old enough to fight in Viel is old enough to drink a glass of beer. These conflicting views are being aired with great vigor on Capitol Hill, in 'he drawing rooms of Georgetown homes, in rock 'n' roll joints and around many family dinner tables. At issue is a bill, already passed by the House and pending before the Senate, to raise the age at which a person may legally drink beer in the District of Columbua from 18 to 21. Rushed through House The proposed legislation was rushed through the House in May, without hearings or advance notice, by lawmakers who live in the fashionable Georgetown area where a string of night spots has sprung up. The congressmen protested that carousing teen-agers were keeping them up until all hours of the night.

Rep. William H. Marsha, R- Ohio, sponsor of the proposal, told his colleagues that Washington has become an "alcoholic oasis" for teen-agers from the surrounding suburbs in Maryland and Virginia, where the beer-drinking age is 21. He said the peace of Georgetown is being shattered night after night by "youths of both sexes screaming oaths and profanity; beer bottles thrown through windows; cars and motorcycles racing up and down the streets; loud blowing of horns" and other unseemly activities. Thirteen senators who live in Georgetown provide a solid base of support for the legislation in that chamber, but Senate District of Columbia Commitee has decided to hold hearings on the bill, in order to find out if there is perhaps another side to the question.

Beer distributors, tavern operators and a horde of irate teen-agers are prepared to tell the Senate committee that the bill is unfair and that it would do more harm than good. Their basic argument is that a boy old enough to be drafted is old enough to drink beer. They also contend that drying up legal beer will merely drive youths to illegal perhaps of hard liquor which is easier to conceal in a coat pocket or an auto. Clergymen are divided on the issue. The Rev.

Malcolm Boyd, Episcopal "espresse priest," noted for his work with college- age youth, said the "legalistic approach is unfortunate." 'If the doors of licensed taverns are closed to young people, a lot of them will turn to a bootlegging source," ha said. The Rev. Charles Bayer, president of the Washington News iold of servicemen BOZEMAN Chris Saxman, Bozeman, is spending a 20-day leave at home after completing more than 200 hours of Marine instruction in guerrilla warfare, use of infantry weapons, combat controls and squad tactics.

Methodist Bishop J. Wesley Lord gave "wholehearted" support to the proposed hike in the beer drinking age.

"Such legislation would prove beneficial to those who are subject to unwholesome pressures to drink and would prevent the influx of youth from neighboring states and communities who now avail themselves of 'he 18-year-old limit presently in force in the district." he said. Only two states permit liquor sales to minors, Louisiana and New York at 18. Eighteen-year- olds are allowed to buy beer in eight other states, including six which specify only 3.2 brew. Idaho has set its beer-drinking age at 20 and South Dakota at 19.
