Ulo the stars and stripes fatal accidents the National safety Council in a up Story feb. 15 suggests a More realistic approach to educating the Driver who their research shows that in every other fatal Case the individual was drinking. However their research cannot be Complete on this june 1965, or. Gleason a woman crusader of the University of Rochester school of Medicine interrogated 350 persons who had been in accidents. She noted 45 per cent had defective hearing 27 per cent were possibly subject to one or another form of Epi Lepsy 33 per cent lacked coordination symptoms wore dizziness inebriation tremors or they were under medication. Or. Gleason also concluded that Vitamin deficiency was also a contributing cause of slowed reflexes that cause accidents.

Sgt. In u Musachio Rhein main air base the statistics on fatal accidents you printed on feb.

Very few pm on military business travel any other Way than by toy. 3comp ared to pm per cent Wise most officers live in military housing. This is not True for lower Grade pm. Therefore the pm must drive farther to work for entertainment Etc. I do not believe that equitable statistics can be obtained unless All facts Are it is desired to use statistics try to do so More fairly. Com pare married officers by age Bracke t against married pm of the same age bracket. Compare single officers against simile pm of the same age bracket. The ranks will generally fall in line. For example it should show that the average second lieutenant is about 24 and married while the k2s and e3s will be about 19 and single. A first lieutenant will be about 25 and married. An e4 will be around 21 and still single. To. Sgt. C.
