Ry HAL l)R A K K Assistant City Rditor A lot of people like to stop tnd look at accidents.
A sort of psychological relief is involved. Some pray. Some feel thankful.
For patrolmen Howard Cain end Ralph Ririe. "traffic investigators for the Los Angeles Police Department, it’s a different storv.

While the evcitement is highest. while the flashbulbs are popping and the sirens are howling. the> clean tip the mess *'T>iat was quite a nice thing. The girl's legs were cut off at
! about the knees. Of course, there was a large, thick pool of blood. I don't think I’ll ever forget that.
"I had only been on traffic two days.”
The rate of traffic deaths in Los Angeles, although not the highest by proportion in the nation, has been steadily climbing this year. During the Christmas holidays, men like Ririe and Cain will be on ‘ maximum deployment' throughout the city.
The Inevitable
They will try to stop drunks and speedsters before an accident happens. If they can't, chances are they'll meet these motorists in another capacity later on.
"This wreck involved an intoxicated driver. He had been racing on Vermont’ when he blew a tire and wrapped the thing around a pole. Yes, the
Police Caution Drunks To Ride, Not to Drive
A new method for handling the college Christmas drunk has been suggested by the I^os Angeles Police Department.
Lt. Don Mann, head of traffic services, proposed recently that college fraternities set up * form of car pool to transport home students who get drunk at Christmas parties.
“Using this plan, onr fraternity would volunteer to keep one of the mghts during Christmas ope*i and would drive home those at other parties who have drunk *00 much to drive themselves.” Lt. Mann said.
“By rotating the nights. each fraternity could have Christmas parties without having to worry
about how to take care of the . drunks," he added.
The traffic officer pointed out. however, that the "buddy-system.” in which persons who expect to drink heavily arrange to have a non-drinking friend of theirs drive ihem home, has visually failed in ihe past.
"When a person is drunk, he always feels he can handle hts car better than anyone else.” Lt. Mann noted.
"The basis of the w hole problem is that people don't take their driving into account when they start drinking.” he continued. ’But if arrangements have already been made with ; one of the fraternities, this problem will be solved."
girl was killed as well as the fella.”
By the time Cain and Ririe reach the accident, a crowd has already gathered and traffic has slowed. They supervise removal of the wrecks and get traffic moving again.
"On arrival at a scene there is usually an excess of early evening traffic, a crowd of spectators, people out in the streets —and the wrecked cars.”
Traffic investigators comfort the injured until they are sent off to hospitals, supervise the clearance of wreckage and try 10 piece together the circumstances of the accident.
Th*» Soelal Drinker
Ririe and Cam blame alcohol for a large percentage of the accidents they investigate.
“The social drinker is the guy who hits the excessive speeds. Hp feels he can make his car do anything—stop on a dime, make any turn or beat any car coming head-on toward him.”
These men. both veterans of more than 14 years of death, define the most dangerous driver on the road as a youngster w'ho has had a few beers.
Not Drunk, But Foolish
“These kids aren't drunk, but they're exhilarated and think they’re in the best condition for driving. They feel they've never reacted better.”
An automobile is a ton-and-a-half of potential destruction. It cannot be forced beyond its limits or kept in poor maintenance and still be expected to convey its passengers safely and reliably.
The holiday motorist, comfortable in his cushioned place behind the wheel, lulled to rest by scenery and music, is likely to forget this.
Officers Ririe and Cain cannot.
Last night the Senate referred to committee a statute aimed at creating a special committee to solve the needs of the I foreign students. Introduced by Hugh Helm, president pro-lem. it will specifically consider the establishment of a foreign students' center.
Flood of Mail Received
Further, 18 letters to the editor supporting such a center were received bv the Daily Tro-
"Coiporations — particularly those concerned with petroleum and aircraft industry — with overseas subsidiaries that bring students to this institution could be tapped for contributions. If the Office of Development concentrated on such a drive, realization of the center could probably be obtained within a year,” he says.
The adviser notes that land for the building would be no problem. “We could use land in the university's central area for that matter.”

"Th<^Kore?ns grew up under
absolutist government. When Rhee assumed authority, he established a two party system and allowed freedom of the

"In 1945, vhen the U. S. liberated Korea from Japan. 76.6 per cent of the Koreans were illiterate U id v Rhees educational progra.n, the number was reduced to 5.5 per cent," lie said.

Waterflooding Retrieves Oil Thought Lost
Waterflooding projects crease the production of crude social pur [»oses that oil in California are two-thirds greater in number than they they were just two years ago.
That report comes from N. van Wingen, USC professor of petroleum engineering.
Studying the state's water-flooding operations in cooperation with B. L. Melkonisn of Tidewater Oil Company. Dr. van Wingen reported that there w'ere 55 active waterflooding projects in California as of June 1, 1960.
This compares w'ith 33 such projects in 1958.
Waterflooding in UM4
The first waterflooding in
California came in 1944 in the Richfield field in Orange County.
Professor van W'ingen reported.
Considerable impetus for this technique came in 1951 when the demand for crude oil began exceeding the state's supply.
The 55 watei"flooding programs operating in the summer of 1960 included 322 injection wells into which water was being injected at the rate of 497,895 barrels per day. Rate of injection per project ranged, van Wingen said, from 115 hart els per dav to 47..’W).
Rv June 1. a total of 381 million barrels of water had been used in the 55 projects.
500 Tn 3.3IM) Fee*
Water injection is made at depths which range from 500 to 9.300 ft. for an average of 3.800 ft. The thickness of perforated zones varies from 50 to 800 ft.
The California waterflooding projects. Dr. van Wingen explained, generally have a lower injection pressure gradient t nan is necessary for such operations elsewhere in the United States.
This is due generally to-the high permeability of the sands.
\\ In Waterflooding?
Why w aterflooding for oil production?
Oil flow ing through I'eseivoir rock to the well bores always encounter -ome resistance and, unites there ate sources of energy sufficient to maintain an adequate flow' in the face of this resistance, the wells will not produce in profitable quantities.
‘ The native energy of an oil accumulation can be augmented by Üne artificial injection of such things as gas or water.” Dr. van Wingen explained
"As a result of this added cneigv so provided, oil which would otherwise be non-npcovpr-ahlc is moved to the well horps
from w hich it is then taken.-'"
“The Family in the Soviet Union" will be this afternoon's lecture topic by a prominent American marriage counselor who toured the U.S.S.R. last summer to study marrige and family life in that country.
The speaker. Dr. David R. Mace, executive director of the American Association of Marriage Counselors, will deliver his lecluring at 2:30 in 229 FH.
He is a guest of Dr. James A. Peterson. USC's marriage counselor. who says that Dr. Mare has probably written more articles on marriage than any other writer in the world.
Translations of Dr. Mace's

ASSC Senate debated a student, dress code introduced bv Pharmacy Senators Dan Casev and Don Levine.
Intense debate on the measure overshadowed unanimous approval by the Senate of President Pro	Tem	Hugh	Helm's
special committee’for investigating possible establishment of a foreign students’ center »see page 3).
Debate was suspended on another measure by Senator Levine—a bill to exempt professional schools from the under graduate senior class dues Senators agreed	with	Ievine	on	the
merit of the bill	but asked	for
specific schools to be named.
The student dress code, as amended during debate, proposed that bermudas, "go-aheads” and sweatshirts be prohibited as dress on the university campus. It continued that the regulation he enforced among the students by service groups, student leaders and faculty.
Refers To Survey
President Pro Tern Helm presented results of a survey on the dress code conducted by the Student Survey Committee. He pointed out that there was only a 7 per cent difference between those students favoring the bill and those opposing it.
Helm added that the bulk of respondents favoring the hill w'ere w-omen who already operate under a dress code set up by the AWS.
The stage was set for active political maneuvering after Helm presented the results as opposing camps o f senators sprang up around Helm and the bill s sponsors.
Helm did not dispute the intention of the bill, but argued

Tonight Dr. Mace, a former Methodist minister, will meet with 25 of Dr. Peterson's graduate students who are studying for a Doctor of Philosophy degree in order to become marriage counselors.
Clinical psychologists, psychiatrists and 100 marriage counselors will be in attendance Friday night when Dr. Mace speaks at a dinner in the Commons.

Helm Produces Figures
The bill's sponsors. Senators Casey and Irvine, were joined by Senator Bobbie Furbass shot bacK at Helm's charges and demanded he produce the survey he quoted.
Helm left the room while debate and considerable floor caucusing continued and returned with portion of the survey, which, he said, had vet to be put in final form.
‘'The survcv results are
per cent for the code. 46 percent against. Without the female vote, the survey would show a large majority against.” Helm read.
Voting was delaved while the code s sponsors attempted to gain support for their position. They asked to know where the poll was conducted, in what manner, and how many students responded.
>'*» "Fifth Columnist’*
The figures in question were produced and Helm emphasized that his opposition stemmed from the clause asking students to turn in violator» of the code.
“I don t think the student body is going to appreciate having us peering around corners and spving on their conduct.” he said.
“I’m not here as a judge and jury and I don t want to play ‘Kagle-Rve Fleagle' or fifth columnist.'* he added.
(asey. Furtvass arid Lev me then presented Alan Well, former Independent Mens president and an old hand at campus politics, in a last ditch attempt to sway votes.
Narrowly Defeated
A vote was taken on the code immediately after W'ell's speech and showed the Pharmacy senators had failed by a small margin to win their bid for improved dress standards The final vote was 12 to 9 against the code.
Following defeat on the dtess code, senators considered Helm s foreign stydents proposal and passed the measure on a white ballot.
Helm charged neglect of the foreign «tudent community 13 one of the basie lacks of this university. He cited other colleges where an international student center has been launched successfully.
