In doing so, we have enlisted the considerable resources of the Greater Cincinnati Safety Council resources that are readily available to every other organization in the Cincinnati area. In the days ahead, ice propose to talk to every available expert. We propose to lay the prospective remedies on the table, to reject some, to explore others, to press still others into reality.

We propose to define the pros and cons, to tell you how much they will cost and precisely what they will entail for you. Can anything be done to halt highway slaughter? We believe it can. And we're going to do everything we can to make certain that is is done. An Editorial THE GRIMMEST STATISTIC we've seen for a long, long time involved traffic fatalities during the eight-day holiday period that ended January 1. In that span of some 200 hours, no fewer than 1800 Americans lost their li'js on the nation's streets and highways.

Nearly 100 of those deaths were in Ohio. To say that these deaths were senseless is to reiterate the obvious. But to ask whether we must become forever reconciled to these unending blood-lettings is to generate a controversy. A great mass of Americans still refuse to be shocked. They reason that there are more and more automobiles in use in the United States and that the American people should be pleased that their traffic tolls aren't higher.

But we are more than shocked. we don't know. It's easy too to suggest license suspensions for teen-agers on the other side of town. THE QUESTION is whether we're prepared as individuals to accept a new safety-criented way of life for ourselves a way of life in which the innocent must share inconvenience and red tape and sometimes even punishment along with the guilty. We believe that the time for debate, for empty slogans, for friendly persuasion is long past.

We believe that nothing less than a revolution in our safety thinking is necessary. The Enquirer is going to help lead that revolution. FOR ONE THING, we have already begun a refresher program to reacquaint the men and women who work at The Enquirer with the basic We are shocked and horrified. We're shocked enough to believe that something can be done, that something must be done. But we're realistic enough to know that wiser heads than ours have already been at work, that the easy answers were exhausted long ago without success.

THAT'S WHY we believe it's time to take a look at some hard answers. And we know that the hardest of all are those that step on our toes and the toes of our families. It's easy to prescribe periodic driving reexaminations for the fellow next door or the woman down the street. It's something altogether different to prescribe them for ourselves. Or it's easy to declare that drinking drivers should go to jail when the drunk is someone Dale Promises Enquirer Traffic Safety Campaign Maketewah Site Chosen For Stadium BY BOB FIRESTONE I.

Dale, president and publisher of The Enquirer. Speaking to 245 Clncln-natians attending the annual meeting of the Greater Cincinnati Safety Council at the Sheraton-Gibson Hotel, Mr. Dale reminded the members that "giving publicity to a community problem does not In Itself solve It; It only lays the groundwork to motivate people who can solve It.

"Each person must accept the burden and pay the price required to achieve traffic safety," Mr. Dale said. In 1966, Mr. Dale pledged. "We (The Enquirer) will send our reporters around the country to Interview the experts In the field, we will report on the engineering of vehicles and highways for safety, on the need for additional legislation, on the quality or lack of quality of enforcement as well as on the human failures' ful that by shocking people we do not so disturb them that the Incentive to safe driving Is lost.

"In other words. If we report a fatal accident In such vivid terms, along with a bold accident picture, that we shock the readers, we must at the same time give them the Information that would have prevented the accident. In this way the shock of the report Is transferred Into tome incentive to action and thereby prevents the same kind of accident," he said. Mr. Dale said The Enquirer plans to practice what it preaches and Safety Council Director Raymond Cltft Is presently conducting an ln-plant school for driving safety for all of the 925 Enquirer employees.

Mr. Dale called on all employers In Hamilton County "to adopt a similar ln-plant group schooling program." The publisher paid tribute to the Safety Council which he said, "through its Industrial safety campaigns and other programs has proven that accidents can be reduced dramatically by organized attack on the problem. With such evidence before us we must organize a personalized campaign and carry It through."

The Enquirer learned Wednesday that site and the method of financing will be recommended at a meeting of the full Stadium Committee along with city and county officials In the Hotel Sheraton-Gibson next Tuesday. Recommendations for the site and financing will come from Vogt, Ivers St Associates of Cincinnati and Os-born Papesh, Cleveland engineering-architect firm.

SINCE JANUARY 8 these two firms have been compiling a physical and financial feasibility report which Included studies of five sites. The Stadium Committee will have to approve the physical and financial feasibility report almost as soon as It gets it. Next Wednesday, February 2, Is the deadline to get the extra levy on the May primary ballot. In order for the extra levy to get on the ballot, it would have to be approved by the county commissioners, then certified to the county auditor and the Board of Elections. Joseph DeCourcy, president of the county commissioners, said the commissioners would make no decision on the extra levy until they see the final report made to the full Stadium Committee and the Stadium Steering Committee.

maketewah country Club, upon which a valuation of $4 million has been placed by its attorney, George Fee, did not emerge as a possible site for the stadium until January 17. At that time Charles W. Staab, chairman of the Steering Committee, listed Maketewah along with four other sites as those Gftgra clude Haiphong. Some are recommending that both Haiphong and Hanoi be Included. Some are saying that the raids should be resumed at their previous level of intensity.

And some advisers though none of them is In a senior position are recommending that the pause be continued. On Capitol Hill, congressional leaders generally kept quiet about the contents of the White House briefing they received Tuesday night. One source did reveal that the group was told that new, heavy, 120-mm mortars, believed to have been brought In during the lull, now are being used against U. S. troops at Da Nang.

This means that present mortar-free defense perimeters around U. S. bases must be extended to allow for the longer range of the new weapons. A Covington doctor mobilized et age communication and transportation facilities Wednesday to try to save the life of a 61-year-old patient at St. Elizabeth Hospital.

The patient, Mrs. Tillle Rutledge, 532 Craig Covington, Is in serious condition at the hospital, suffering from bronchiectasis, a respiratory Infection. Wednesday morning, the physician. Dr. Ronald Fragge, 808 Scott discovered the supply of the drug, Emivan which he is using to keep Mrs.

Rutledge alive was nearly exhausted. On his instructions, officials at St. Elizabeth's made a hasty check of Greater Cincinnati hospitals and pharmaceutical warehouses and learned that the area's supply of the drug had been totally depleted. Dr. Fragge then ordered a quick telephone call to the vwrwn Democratic House members sent Mr.

Johnson a letter urging him to continue the pause. By contrast, sources said Wednesday night that, of the 20 congressional leaders who met with Mr. Johnson and his advisers Tuesday night to discuss the situation, only two of them were opposed to a resumption of the raids. They were identified as Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield and Senate Foreign Relations Chairman William Fulbrlght. Other congressional leaders at the meeting strongly recommended an expanded bombing program, one which sources here said administration officials consider so extreme as to raise the possibility of Chinese Intervention.

Within the administration, some of Mr. Johnson's advisers are urging him to enlarge the target area to In lags accessible at his Texas ranch. It was not until February, 1965,. that he finally gave the orders that began the extended raids in the North. Sources here Wednesday pointed to these reasons why Mr.

Johnson Is reluctant to move: He Is using the threat of resumption as one, last lever In an attempt to bring the North Vietnamese to the negotiating table. "He just wants to keep probing and I a source said. "I think he Is doing everything he can to find out if there Is someway he can get out of doing It." There is a danger that a decision to resume the raids could break up the President's Democr atlc coalition in Congress and frustrate his ambition to govern the nation through bipartisan consensus. A survey Wednesday of 50 Democratic and Republican senators showed them to be widely divided on the subject of a bombing resumption. Half of them said they are for it and half of them said they are against it.

Last Friday, 76 liberal Francis L. Dale "answers not cliches" that cause safety problems." The problem of getting the attention of the public "which seems to become harder every day" was cited by Mr. Dale in explaining the difficulties of traffic safety "The presentation must be different and personalized and, if possible, carry some controversy or even shock We must be care- United States Vitamin and Pharmaceutical New York, manufacturers of the drug, and asked the company to rush 200 vials to Covington. The drug firm made Immediate arrangements to fly the medicine here via an American Airlines Jet which landed at Greater Cincinnati Airport early Wednesday afternoon. From there, the medicine was rushed to Mrs.

Rut-ledge's bedside. Dr. Fragge was not available for comment, but an assistant said Mrs. Rutledge was "In very serious condition."

Rhodes, who recently lit the fire for a Cincinnati stadium, heaped on fuel Wednesday night at the Greater Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce annual dinner at the Hotel Sheraton-Gibson. The governor challenged members to sell 47,000 ticket books for the 1967 National League football games to entice the franchise here.

He then accepted chairmanship of the drive. Season tickets average $18, he said. "If you think a stadium here is fantastic," the governor said, "you should have been In Cleveland when I proposed a bridge across Lake Erie." Chamber president Charles V. Staab said a wire will be sent to NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle informing him of the drive. which would receive Intensive further study.

The Maketewah property was purchased for $445,000 in 1955 from the Armleder estate. It now Is In a residential zone. City Council would have to rezone the area to permit building of a stadium. In a letter last Tuesday to Vogt, Ivers Associates, Mr. Fee said that club of-; ficials had open minds on selling the property.

Although no formal offer has been made yet to Maketewah, Mr. Fee said that "any decision made by them (the club president and the trustees) would reflect what they would consider the civic responsibility of the club as well as the best interests of its members." IF NO AGREEMENT can be reached on price, the city could exercise the right of eminent domain, take immediate possession of the property, and argue It in court later. Immediate possession would be almost essential, since the consultants recommended in their interim report that the contractor should start on the stadium by August 1. Completion date Is Labor Dav, 1967, in time for the National Football League season. Cincinnati hopes to obtain an NFL franchise at the NFL owners' meeting in Palm Beach February 14.

THE CINCINNATI REDS, who would be the principal tenants of the Stadium, would start playing there in 1968. It is likely that work on adding the dome would not start until after the 1967 football season. The Maketewah approximately 15 minutes from downtown Cincinnati, is easily accessible from Reading Road, Paddock Road, 1-75, 1-71 (Northeast Expressway) and the Norwood Lateral. Because of the comparatively level terrain, and the fact that all utilities are immediately available, work on preparing Maketewah could start almost Ufa WASHINGTON (HTNS) President Johnson's senior military and diplomatic advisers are unanimously recommending that U. S.

bombing raids in North Vietnam be resumed, and some are urging that they be expanded to Include Hanoi and Haiphong, it was learned here on good authority Wednesday. So far, however, the Prev ldcnt is receiving their advice in silence and has declined to make any Unal decision on "when, if, or to what extent," sources here said. Despite this reluctance, the near unanimous decision in Washington is that Mr. Johnson will make a decision soon and his orders will send U. S.

planes across Vietnam's 17th parallel again. This attitude prevailed as the U. S. bombing pause went Into its 35th day and the White House continued to insist that Mr. Johnson has neither made any final decision nor set any time limit for making one.

The President's current remoteness is similar in many ways to his actions In the fall of 1964. when he was being urged to begin bombing the North right in the middle of his Presidential campaign against Sen. Barry Goldwater. At that time, Mr. Johnson listened to his advisers, put them off until a'ter the election, then put them off again by making himself In HOLLER if you have something worth shouting about I Stan ley Masters, 709 Smiley Ave.
