Ocean Study Here
Seen As Vital Field
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3 WP)—
A&M Colleg-e and its landlocked
campus may be in for busier days
in a new field of study—oceanog
raphy.
The House Science and Space
Committee heard Dr. Gordon A.
Eiley, Yale University oceanog
rapher, call for an immediate
speedup in the study of the oceans.
He said it was urgent for defense
purposes and to improve weather
forecasting.
During the hearings it was
brought out that A&M, cooperating
with the National Science Founda
tion, has one of the latest and best
oceanography departments in the
nation. Under its operations a
ship plies the Gulf of Mexico car
rying on research.
Rep. Olin Teague (D-Tex), Ag
gie Class of ’32 and a member of
the House Space Committee,
agreed with the pi'ofessor that the
mystery of the seas needs much
probing. He left no doubt that
he would do all he can do to see
that A&M shares amply in that
proposed expanded research. .
Riley, after mentioning that nu
clear submarines could not be used
to their full potential without more
complete knowledge of the oceans,
added:
“We can never have effective
long range weather forecasting un
til we have a better understanding
of the relationship between the
ocean and the atmosphere.”
One of the smaller but very
practical aspects of study by the
oceanographers is the movement
of oil Pastes from offshore wells
and the possible effects on marine
life.
Labor Day Holiday
To Kill Thirty-one
AUSTIN—The director of the
Texas Department of Public Safety
announced today 31 persons are
expected to be killed in Texas traf
fic accidents during the three-day
Labor Day weekend.
Col. Homer Garrison, Jr. said
the official prediction—which is
seldom far off—should “serve as
a challenge to all Texans to make
a concerted effort to stem the tide
of highway tragedy next week
end.”
He pointed out that during the
Labor Day weekend last year there
were 30 traffic deaths, one more
than the Department had pre
dicted. He noted, however, that
the forecast for the 1959 Fourth
of July holiday—-26 fatalities—
turned out to be accurate.
“We would like to make a spe
cial appeal to the citizens of Texas
to consider the facts about holiday
driving and do their utmost to re
duce the tragedy of death, suffer
ing and economic loss next week
end,” Garrison said.
“Department of Public Safety
patrolmen and all other law en
forcement oficers in our State will
do everything in their power to
make the streets and highways
safer by removing lawless drivers
—but the statistics prove the main
job is up to the individual behind
the wheel.”
He cited the following acts and
figures on last Labor Day week
end, compiled by N. K. Woerner,
Manager of Statistical Services:
Of the 30 traffic deaths in the
State, 26 occurred in rural areas
as the result of 18 accidents.
Ten of the 18 rural fatal acci
dents involved drivers who had
been drinking. .
Two of the three rural fatal pe
destrian accidents involved pedes
trians who had been drinking.
Seven of the 10 drivers who had
been drinking in rural fatal acci
dents were exceeding the legal
speed limit.
Thirteen of the 18 rural fatal
accidents involved only one motor
vehicle.
In 12 of the 13 rural fatal acci
dents involving only one car, the
drivers had no “other driver” to
blame. In the other case, a pe
destrian-victim was at fault.
