Highway,WaterDeaths Set Record for Holiday
By United Press International
Traffic deaths and drownings set new records for a two-day Independence Day weekend.
A United Press International count showed 272 deaths in traffic, 171 drownings and 52 from miscellaneous causes for an over-all total of 495. None died from fireworks during the holiday period.
The previous high for traffic deaths during a two-day Fourth of July holiday was in 1953, when 271 lost their lives. The previous high for drownings for a two-day holiday also was in 1953 when 121 drowned. The high for a three-day Independence Day holiday was 251 in 1955.
Texas led the states in traffic deaths with 25. Illinois and Virginia reported 16. New York 15 and Pennsylvania 14. New York led in drownings with 16. Texas had 14 and Michigan 13.
The National Safety Council had estimated that 350 persons would die
in auto accidents between 6 p.m. local time Friday and midnight Sunday. It said the fact that the toll fell short of its prediction was due to thoughtful driving and emergency police traffic measures.
The safety council said that although the traffic death toll exceeded that of the previous high for a two-day Fourth, travel since 1953 has increased sharply. It estimated there were 9 million more cars on the road than there were in 1953 and that they traveled 25 per cent more miles.

New Task Looms At Tuttle Creek
MANHATTAN, Kan. — (UPI) Engineers and contractors Monday worked to fill in a gaping hole in the huge Tuttle Creek Dam in efforts to finally bring the Big Blue River under control.
Gov. George Docking touched off a dynamite blast at ceremonies Saturday, channeling the river water through the control tower at the west end of the mile and one-half long dam five miles north of Manhattan.
The water had been going through the river channel in the center of the dam, a hole that now must be plugged before engineers are able to control the river.
Col. L, E. Laurior, Army engineer at Kansas City, said it would take about 75,000 truck loads of dirt—and six weeks work—to plug the center of the dam. When that is done, engineers will be able gradually to take control of the river. However, they don't expect to begin backing up water until 1962.
China Travel Ban By Press Upheld
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The U.S. Court of Appals has upheld the State Department's right to choose the news correspondents it would allow to travel to Communist China.
It did so in ruling, 3 to 0, that the department did not exceed its authority in denying permission to author Waldo Frank, 69, of New York to travel to China.
Frank sought to go to China as a special correspondent for Latin American newspapers, and to lecture at the University of Peking.
Dr. Howard A. Matzke, associate professor of anatomy, has been named a special consultant to the World Federation of Neurologists in Antwerp, Belgium, during July.
KU Neurologist to Attend World Federation in Europe
Dr. Matzke will confer with and advise Federation officials on organization of an international committee of comparative neurology and the possible creation of an institute of comparative neurology and sites.
Comparative neurology, a field in which Dr. Matzke has received many
grants during his six years at KU, is the study of animal brains.
While in Europe Dr. Matzke will also advise on the disposition of a large number of African animal brains now at the Max Planck Institute at Giessen, Germany. He will also confer with comparative neurologists in Amsterdam, Paris, and London.
Dr. Matzke will leave for Europe on July 9 and will return on August 3.
