VI's viceroy of India, the Marqless
of Linlithgow, urging him to inter,
ene. It warned that if anything
ehpuld happen to Gandhi "we con.
eider the ultimate responsibility
yours."
Gandhi, hho has had no nourish-
ment since he sipped a cup of hot
goat's milk at noon Friday, still
was determined not to eat until the
ruler of this Western India state
meets his demands for administra-
tive reforms.
Rajkot officials were equally firm
in rejecting Gandhi's demands and
in insisting that the ruler "takes
no responsibility" for any trouble
growing out of the spiritual lead,
er's hunger strike.
'He is now presenting the Tha.
kore Saheb with utterly impossible
terms and has precipitated a seri-
ous crisis," said a statement by', the
Rajkot state advisory council.
Physicians issued a bulletin
shortly after noon saying they
found Gandhi "cheerful and ex-
periencing no nausea." But they
warned that "considering his age
and recpnt cardiac (heart) weak,
ness great care is necessary."

it*?? ,,!e^i*hw*r" °' 'u 1937, the hut year for which authentic figures .re
available, 070 pernona . . . . men, women and children ... lost their Uvea in acrfdenta
In which truck* were involved ... and 3,360 others were injured ... many of thcoi
permanently duabled.

oo7 to 3,.160. These indisputable figures .... taken from actual aeeouutM of truck acci-
dents published ui Texas newspapers .... show that in tha six-rear period 2,936 peieoiia
lost their lives and 15,18.1 were injured in truck crashes osi the highway* of our state.
Ihe numhrr killed is ti'ealer than the population of Ode-teat, Gutosville, Umpanes,
La brange, Baymondville or a score of other thriving Texas eltias .... while the number
killed and injured exceed* the population of Sherman, Marshall, Corsicana or Paris, all
ranking business centers of the state.
AnalysU of official record* of accident* in which truck* were involved reveal* a
further vital fact... . thai the heaviest ami large*? tru -ks, a* a via**, operating over Texas
highways in 1937, showed a death rate of four and oue-half time* ibut of all trucks, large
and small, and almost seven times that for all mo;or vehicles, including trucks.
The combination of weight and size of motor vehicles is thus definitely proved to
be the eon trolling factor in fatal highway aci'ldeni* .... the heavier the vehicle .... the
harder it hits .... the more sueeiy it kill* or cripples.
The statutes uow in effect have governed truck operations on Texas highways since
19.11 and the ever-growing toll of truck accidents, in juries and deaths, reflects only the
increasing ingenuity of the operators of overloaded trucks in evading or openly defying
the laws created to control them in the interest of public safety. Large trucks use your
highways only by your permission expressed through your legislature.
Texas rilitent and taxpayw have built and maintained Texan highway*. They are definitely]
