ported church memberships do not
exist: that 10 pier cent cannot be
found: that 25 per cent never go to
church: that 50 per cent never con
tribute a cent to the church and
that 75 per cent never attend a mid
week service.”
Mr, Cassens declared the increase
In church membership of 2'3 per
cent in 10 years indicates something
drastic must be done to bring people
into the church.

William F. Bruening. H. M. Hennig.
George Hoyer, Paul Kavasch, Edwin
E. -Pietlow. William Schiebel. W. D

Columbia River Drops,
Dikes Still Menaced
By th* Associated Press
PORTLAND. Oreg., June 15.—
Columbia River flood waters from
the Rockies to the Pacific are re
rpding at all river gauges today.
The river will remain above flood
page in the lower valley for three
weeks while inching downward. The
danger now is that weakened levees 5
tnav collapse after 25 days of
pounding.
There are 41 known dead in the
wake of the region's greatest dis
aster in the 1,000-mile-long river:
valley.
About 60,000 are homeless in the '
United States and Canadian flood
rones. Damage is in multimillions.
Still a mystery is the exact toll in
(he Memorial Day destruction of
I he flimsy war-built apartment
homes of 18.700 at Vanport. Five
bodies have been recovered, but the
Red Cross names 28 on its list of
men, women and children missing
since the tragedy. This list once
totaled 121. was pared to 18 and
♦ hen yesterday the names of 10
bachelor tradesmen were added.
Army engineers warned today
that, the river could still punch out
sogged dikes guarding areas from
Portland-Vancouver, Wash., to the
Pacific.
Engineers have stopped the water
from rising higher over Portland's
Municipal Airport and hundreds of
homes and farms in a 10-mile strip
of North Portland. The slough!
break plug has held the water level
stationary for more than 24 hours.
This prevented water from topping
a cross-dike guarding the huge.
Troutdale aluminum plant 10 miles
to the east of the break.

AAA Award Honors
D. C. as Safest City for
Pedestrians in '47
An award which designated Wash
ington as the safest city in the
United States for pedestrians was
presented to Commissioner Guy
Mason yesterday by the American
Automobile Association.
The award was made at a meet
ing in the Mayflower Hotel, spon
sored by the Commissioners’ Traffic
Advisory Board and the AAA.
Washington was both the first place
winner in cities over 500,000 popula
tion and top city in the country for
last year.
Beall Sounds Warning.
But after the ceremonies, a mes
sage from Representative Beall, Re
publican, of Maryland warned that
elderly persons, particularly those
over 70. comprised 42 per cent of
the pedestrians killed so far this
year. His message was read by
Washington I. Cleveland, head of
the District AAA, because the legis
lator was detained by pressure of
work in the House.
The message pointed out that of
the 49 pedestrians killed in 1947,
the 1 per cent of the District popu- j
lation over 70 furnished 23 per cent
of the fatalities. So far this year,
27 pedestrians have been killed,
with the 1 per cent furnishing 42
per cent of the deaths.
P. Y. K. Howat. head of the Ad
visory Board, presided. He pointed
out the national average was 7.7
persons killed per 100.000 popula
tion while the District average was |
5.7. A total of 49 pedestrians were |
killed last year, compared to 57 in
1946.
Safety Patrol Lauded.
Special tribute was paid to the
work of the School Safety Patrol
ay Mr. Howat. He introduced
School Supt. Hobart M. Corning,
Police Inspector Arthur E. Miller,
rraffic Director George E. Keneipp,
Highway Director H. C. Whitehurst
ind the 13 policemen who work as
full-time co-ordinators with the
School Safety Patrol.
They are Policemen M. E. Bridges,

Clark. Bedford Spittle, John Ehl
man, Robert Richmond, C. C. Brown,
Joseph Junghans. J. R. Seeley,
Francis Smith, W. J. King and
Beverly Campbell.
The aw’ard was presented to Mr.

tive vice president o’f the AAA.
Tonight Is Deadline
For Tax Installment
By th« As»ociot*d Pr«$t
Midnight tonight is the deadline
for mailing the second quarterly
payment of Federal income tax if
your taxes aren't paid up fully by
withholding.
You can reduce today's check by
changing the estimate of your 1948
income to take advantage of tax
cuts granted since filing the original
estimate March 15.
Those who prefer, however, can*
wait until later to amend declara
tions and take reductions. But if
you do. then a one-fourth payment
must be made on the old tax esti
mate. Those who overpay total
taxes will get a refund after filing
final 1948 income tax returns next
year.
Taxpayers who file amended dec
larations can take advantage of
these provisions of the tax cut bill:
A $100 increase to a $600 total for
each exemption claimed. Also, a
taxpayer reaching 65 during 1948
gets an extra $600 exemption for
himself and another extra $600 if
his wife will be 65 this year. Blind
persons get the same extra exemp
tions as persons over 65.
For married persons, the split-in
come provision of the new law per
mits reduced taxes and quarterly
payments if they file a joint decla
ration. Even if a couple filed sep
arate declarations in March, the tax
collector permits joint ones now'.
Starving Children
This is the third day of the
intensified drive to raise funds
to feed the starving children of
war-torn lands. They total over
230.000.000. Many will die un
less quick relief is provided.

Coal Pact Parley Lags,
Awaiting Court Ruling
On Pension Stalemate
By James Y. Newton
New contract negotiations between
John L. Lewis' United Mine Workers i
and soft coal operators drifted along 1
today toward a District Court show- |
down on the miners' pension and
welfare fund issue.
Justice T. Alan Goldsborough on '
Saturday will hear the operators'
suit and the mine workers’ counter- j
suit involving the payment of $100
monthly pensions to miners.
The judge holds the key which
would unlock the stalled negotia
tions for a contract to replace the
agreement expiring June 30. A
prompt decision from Justice Golds
borough would, in effect, be an arbi
tration of the pension and distress
benefits issue on which the opera
tors and Mr. Lewis are so far apart.
Negotiators to Meet Today.
Negotiators for the mine owners
and UMW were to meet again at 2
P-m.
After yesterday’s session, the op-!
erators disclosed that Mr. Lewis had j
returned to the position that a new
contract cannot be drafted until the j
issues involved in the use of the
welfare and retirement fund in the
present contract have been dis
posed of.
That fund—now about $40,000,000
—is completely frozen by the action
of the operators’ trustee—Ezra Van
Horn—in asking the court to in
validate the Lewis-Bridges plan for
payment of pensions. Senator
Bridges, Republican, of New Hamp
shire is the third and neutral fund
trustee.
Briefly, Mr. Lewis on Saturday
had permitted some general discus
sion of new contract problems.
Disability Claims Block Accord.
The chief block to negotiations
now is Mr. Lewis’ insistence that the
operators agree to take on about
