NEW YORK, Dec. 13—LOSES HIS HOME—Joseph Jaxon, 91, sits beside his tons of books and magazines after he was evicted from his basement apartment here where he had been superintendent for five years. Agents of the building said the aged man, who prefers to be called "Major" was discharged from his job and then evicted "because of repeated illness and several charges of building violations." The "Major" said most of the books and papers dealt with the rights of the American Indian and he values the collection at $100,000. A group of "hoboes and friends of the Bowery News" will remove the old man's effects to the publication's offices today for storage. (Associated Press Wirephoto) Nation’s Toll of Deaths in Motor Vehicle Accidents Nears ‘M’ Day CHICAGO — The nation’s toll of deaths in motor vehicle accidents soon will reach the 1,000,000 mark. The National Safety Council says it may be reached on Dec. be identified as actual victim No. 1,000,000. Here is the basic reason why: The council has compiled actual figures on fatalities since 1933. The statistics on deaths before Nation’s Toll of Deaths in Motor Vehicle Accidents Nears ‘M’ Day CHICAGO (UP) — The nation’s toll of deaths in motor vehicle accidents soon will reach the 1,000,000 mark. The National Safety Council says it may be reached on Dec. 21. But nobody will be able to say with certainty that this man or that woman or child actually was victim No. 1,000,000. Suppose the count reaches 999,999 at 1 p.m., eastern standard time on M (for million) day. A half hour goes by without a reported fatality. Then an automobile veers into a telephone pole in New York City. The driver, John Doe, the only person in the car, is killed. A traffic cop hustles up to the auto, notes that Doe is dead, and glances at his watch. It is 1:30 p.m. EST. The death of Doe could be listed only as the 1,000,000th reported. Motor vehicle fatalities average about 110 a day at this time of year. But, even if no others occur within a half hour, Doe could not be identified as actual victim No. 1,000,000. Here is the basic reason why: The council has compiled actual figures on fatalities since 1933. The statistics on deaths before that time are based on the best available records and round-number estimates. They are not the actual figures. The person listed as victim No. 1,000,000 might be—if the actual deaths before 1933 were known—victim 999,709 or victim 1,001,197. (The council counts all deaths in accidents involving a motor vehicle—aauto, bus, truck, motorcycle, motor bike, motor scooter.) The council does not intend to name the 1,000,000 victim. It says its only purpose in promoting M day is to call attention to the rise in fatalities to the 1,000,000 mark in the hope that it will “crack the apathy” of the nation. The council will make its final tabulation before the million mark is reached. It has been making weekly tabulations but its reporting machinery is not geared for daily gathering of fatality reports. So, several days before M day, the Associated Press will start gathering figures on deaths across the nation. The AP will file stories on the rise in the toll. On M day it will announce that its count has reached the 1,000,000 mark, and pass along the 1,000,000th name reported to it—if it is a single name. Giant Water Tank Collapses, 4 Dead TUCUMCARI, N.M. (UP)—Collapse of a 3,000,000-gallon water tank killed four persons and caused millions in damage early today. Several hours later a witness told of seeing a “fireball,” or apparent meteor, hit the tank in pre-dawn darkness. He said it toppled moments afterward. A motors expert said, however, such a phenomenon would have left a huge crater rather than being an outstanding job in Anahi students electrics.

(P)—Collapse of a 3,000,000-gallon water tank killed four persons and caused millions in damage early today. Several hours later a witness told of seeing a "fireball," or apparent meteor, hit the tank in pre-dawn darkness. He said it toppled moments afterward. A senior expert said, however, such a phenomenon would have left a huge crater rather than merely smashing the tank. Giving way with a deep rumble, the tank loosed a flood through the business district about 3:10 a.m. (PST). Water up to waist deep spread devastation over an area three blocks wide and, in lessening degree as the distance grew, a quarter mile long. The scene was likened to one hit by a bomb.

Dynasty Anahiem Weatherman In Query Over His Daily Forecasts LOS ANGELES — "Oh where, or where has my little storm gone?" Federal forecaster A. K. Showalter whispered this line today in response to the question: How could the weather bureau reconcile its early forecast of showers with virtually cloudless skies? "Virtually," that is because over the San Gabriel mountains were a couple of tiny powder puffs, barely opaque enough to go to the polls that makes mink coats, deep freezes and franchise peddling possible. If you voted, congratulate yourself; if you didn't, don't complain if bad goes to worse. You're helping to set the trend: a trend toward socialism which is a notch removed from communism. NITROCAPSULE — Don't blame the other fellow for your mistakes. "We had a storm all whipped up to serve Southern California today." Showalter said. We observed it moving northward from off the San Diego coast, and expected it to move inland last night. "It did all right. But the next thing we knew it was over Southern Nevada. How it got there and missed us I frankly don't know." However, he agreed that most folks were glad to see the sun shine again. The last phase of the latest storm was marked by rain, hall, thunder and lightning yesterday afternoon. The storm brought 64 of an inch of rain to Los Angeles advancing the season's total to 4.37 inches, compared with 1.68 at this time last year. With clear skies will come cooler temperatures, the weather bureau warns. The mercury is expected to dip to 28 degrees in some citrus districts tonight.

Supporters of Mossadegh in Menacing Mass TEHRAN, Iran (P)—Some 30,000 nationalist supporters of Mohammad Mossadegh massed before parliament today and roared "death to the enemies of Mossadegh!" The crowd appeared menacing, but broke up later without violence. Inside the parliament building, the Majlis (loyren house) discreetly decided to postpone until Sunday a public meeting originally scheduled for today. Instead they met in secret session. Watchful police and troops lined the huge Majlis Square during the rally, announced as a demonstration against "British intrigue." However, most of the threats and vilification were directed at Iranian opponents of our aged premier who led the successful fight to nationalize Iran's British-controlled oil industry.
