Chinese . . .
Continued from page 1
Viet Nam border conflict. Roskens said
they were told that the Chinese did not
regard the conflict as serious but important
as a demonstration to the Soviet Union of
their capability to strike.
Besides visiting schools the group saw
the Great Wall of China which Roskens de
scribed as "all that the mind can behold,"
the pandas at the Nanching Zoo, the For
bidden City and Tien Ming Square in
Peking, the Yangtze River bridge, a silk
factory and the Hola People's Commune In
Wushi.
Communi products
The commune covers 36 square kilo
meters and contains 21,236 people,
Roskens said. It's products include fish
breeding, fruit trees, tea, silkworms, dairy,
swine and chicken production and cultured
pearls, he said. The commune also has 13
factories which produce various metal pro
ducts. Commune profits are distributed to the
workers according to work points after
subtracting the cost . of production, an agri
cultural tax and contributions to a com
munity fund, public welfare fund, and a
reserve fund, Roskens said.
Roskens characterized the Chinese
people as determined and industrious but
also gentle both in movement and person
ality. They have a sense of humor and an
instinctive charm and sense of beauty, he
said.
Roskens said the group experienced no
hostility from the Chinese because they
were Americans. Instead "the group mem
bers were regarded as near celebrities and
crowds followed the group everywhere "
Roskens said
Polaroid fascination
"The Chinese were fascinated with
Americans, especially the ones with Polar
oids,'.' Roskens Said.
Roskens said the Americans were treat
ed very warmly and that the mood of the
Chinese could be summed up in what Kei
Shen Rang, vice principal of the Shanghai
middle school said.
Kei Shen Rang said that nations are
trying to find life on other planets but
suggested people try to get along as friends
on this planet.
Roskens showed reporters some of the
souvenirs he brought back from China in
cluding a model of the human body
complete with needles and acupuncture in
structions, paper cuttings, and a china cup
with a lid.
Traffic accidents increase
Lincoln residents' driving habits are be
ginning to resemble a game of bumper cars,
according to a report to' the Lincoln City
Council. '
Police Chief Dean Leitner told the City
Council yesterday that traffic accidents in
Lincoln increased 1 1 .6 percent from
1977 to 1978.
A total of 12,659 accidents were re
ported in 1978, an all-time high for the
city.
Councilman Joe Hampton also told the
council that property damage and personal
injury have increased.
Hampton said the report showed that
between. 1976 and 1978, reported acci
dents increased 43.8 percent While injury
accidents Increased by a 44.7 percent
margin.
He added that the total cost of property
damage resulting from traffic accidents ex
ceeded $3.5 million.
md leadership
Hampton claimed that traffic safety in
Lincoln has been "deficient" under the
the leadership of Mayor Helen Boosalis.
Leitner's report stated that there were
3,100 injuries and 15 fatalities in Lincoln
in 1978.
Hampton also emphasized that Lincoln
has been described as a problem area based
on the high concentration of accidents in
the city by the Nebraska Highway Safety
Program.
The Nebraska Highway Safety Program
compared Lincoln With other urban areas
using traffic data from 1975 to 1977.
According to Leitner's report, 69 per-'
cent of those involved in reportable
accidents were under age 35. That same age
group accounted for three-fourths of the
drivers involved in fatal accidents.
The main causes Leitner cited for the
bad driving records were drivers failing to
yield, following too close and disregarding
speed limits.
The worst
As far as specific problem areas, Leitner
listed the 25 highest accident intersections
for 1978.
Thirty accidents occurred at the inter
section 6f 70th and O Streets, htaking that
locale number one for accidents while the
48th and O streets intersection, was second
with 28.
Forty-eighth and Comhusker Highway
and 27th and Comhusker Highway tied for
third with 26 accidents.
To solve the problem, Leitner is
planning to implement a Public Awareness
Program to let the citizens know what the
problems are and what can be done about
them.
The Police Department also will try to
reduce accidents by "selective enforcement
at key intersections on known high acci
dent days and times.'
