In Chtcago -- the medical profession was charged today -- with totally ignoring one of the greatest killers of modern time: The doctors' accuser -- a doctor himself; Dr. Robert Hess -- a traffic safety expert fro■ the University of Michigan. Total cost of ■edieal research last year said he an average of about Two Hundred and Twenty dollars for each of an estimated half-million cancer patients; about Seventy-Six dollars -- for •ch of a n Jlillion- and-a-half cardiovascular patients; but only about fifty cents -- half-a-buck apiece -- for the co1.ntry's ten million accident victims. ABSECON FOLLOW CHICAGO On the same subject -- a story today f rom headquarters o f the New Jersey Highway Authority. Telling of a recent study of high-speed accidents -- on a crack new superhighway. Over the twelve months of the study -- about forty per cent of all injuries occu . rred in accidents invo~j\i.ng ~mall cars -- compacts and foreign models. What's 110re, nearly half of all deaths -- occured again 1n accidents involving small cars. Yet these same small cars -- accounted for less than a quarter of total traffic in question. As a result -- New Jersey's leading traffic official recommends that small cars should be banned fro■ high- speed superhighways.

"!rylng to Mke hi■ see again" -- •• he put it. BJ the tl• police arrived -- the . . was dead. A vlctl■ or what police call -- "overzealous religious tanatacla■." As for the "Fa.1th Realter" he's now racing a charge of ho11lclde. PASHIOWS Here's a shocker! Soon to appear in the world of fashions -- skirts for men. Says a top fashion designer, Elizabeth Hawes. lo lf's, ands or buts about it -- says Nl11 Hawes. She says flatly that aen are now "psychologically ready" -- to change fro■ trouaera to skirts.
