CYBERNETIC WARFARE
One reason why so many Amer-
icans scoff at the idea that Com-
munist propaganda is shaping the
opinions and attitudes of great
numbers of Americans is that they
think Communist propaganda is
they do? They went up to those
people in New York and said, 'Sir,
would you contribute to the Tho-
mas Jefferson School?' The peo-
ple said, 'Sure, I believe in Tho-
mas Jefferson, here's a contribu-
tion to your work.'"
Prominent Leaders Used
Mr. Philbrick told of how he and
other young church youth who had
been snared into the Communist

in driving correctly and safely

The prediction of 28 motorcides
for the three-day period came
from N. K. Woerner, DPS statis-
tician, who originated the idea of
estimating the state's holiday
death toll in 1940.
The veteran statistician, who
very closely predicts holiday mo-
torcides, said the all time high
toll for a three-day July 4th was
in 1954 when 33 persons were kill-
ed in 26 fatal accidents. Twenty-
eight were killed in a similar
three-day period in 1953, and 29
died during the three-day July 4th
holiday of 1952.
The Operation Deathwatch to
be held by the DPS includes a
count of all violent deaths in Tex-
as during the predicted period. No
estimate was made of homicides,
suicides and accidental non-traffic
deaths. The predicted 28 covers
only those killed in traffic acci-
dents.
Garrison urged Texans to do
their celebrating in a sensible
manner. Deaths, he said, caused
by drownings, food poisoning and
accidental shootings will not oc-
cur if precautionary measures are
taken in advance of the tragedies.
During the one-day July 4th|
holiday during 1957 eight acci-j
dental deaths occurred, two homi-,
cides and suicides were recorded,!
and 15 persons became traffic fa-,
talitics.
