HANDS OFF HOUSTON-As a
i It.nf believer of local routrol lor
li.cal matters. Gov. Price Daniel
said he would not intervene ui ai-
t.iiis ot the Houston Pubbc School
! system.
For weeks Houston schools have
teen in a squeeze between a fed-
eral court order to begin gr:>lual
integration and a state law which
■ a\s it will lose state aid if it does.
A- a last resort, the Houston
St lux.I Board asked Governor Dan-
iel to "inletpose" in its behalf.
I nder the theory of interposition,
the state has, under the Tenth
Amendment to the U.S. Constitu-
te n the right to interpose against
jn\- ltderal act by which it believes
the It-dei al government is exceed-
ing its eiinstituiional powers.
Daniel pointed out that this
ct,ui - e had been tried without suc-

Kalamazoo And New Jersey Winners
Of City And State Safety Awards
CHICAGO (Spli — Kalamazoo,
Michigan, and New Jersey were
named today by the National Sa-
fety Council as the city «.nd state
which did the most in 1369 to pro-
tect their citizens from accidents
of all kinds.
They thus become the first win-
nes of a new Council award which
differs from any other by taking
into account all fields of accident
prevention covered by the Council
— traffic, work, home, farm,
school, recreation and transporta-
tion.
Previously, the Council's awards

PISTOL-TOTI.V CUB URGED—
Legislation to close the loopholes
The new award — called the
Trustees Award in compliment to
the Council's Trustees — is based
net only on actual accident records,
but on accident prevention activi-
ties by media, churches, civic and
youth groups, public officials and
safety organizations.
Each city and state which earns
the annual award will receive a
special art creation in Steuben
Glass, fashioned to symbolize the
Flame of Life which accident pre-
vention see'ns to sustain.
Forma) presentation of the 1959
awards will be made at the ban-
quet of the 48th National Safety'
Congress, annual convention of the
Council, in the Conrad Hilton hotel
in Chicago Tuesday, Oct. 18, before
I',000 guests.
'Selection of Kalamazoo and New
Jersey was made after the most
award,'' said Howard Plye, Coun-
exacting and comprehensive study
by our staff and the judges of the
ci] president.
"Representing as il did the first
time any award has been estabiish-
de on the basic of the programs and
records of a city or state in every
area of safety, the award could be
determined only aftei months of
exhaustive review of the accident
records and the accident prevention
activities ot hundreds of cities and
every state.

dent records to the Council was
considered for the award. And all
states except Alaska and Hawaii
were considered. Info-mation on
Alaska and Hawaii for 1959 was
incomplete.
"It should be emphasized that
while the total score attributed to
Kalamazoo and to New Jersey was
higher than that of any other city
or state, Kalamazoo and New Jer-
sey did net necessarily excel in
each separate category of accident
prevention.
"But the honor that has come to
the recipients of the award could
not haVe been achieved, we are
sure, without a sustained, intelli-
gent and effective effort by public
officials, safety organizations and
many other froups and individuals.
