With headquarters in Santa Ana, Calif., the institute has an annual budget of $3,000,000 provided by contributors in the U.S. and Latin America. Institute presses in Mexico work overtime printing dictionaries, Bibles and textbooks in 80 Indian languages; some steps in translation are now handled by electronic computers at the National University of Mexico. In Peru, where Townsend has been working since 1945, institute teams stationed near the headwaters of the Amazon keep in touch by radio and a fleet of planes. Yet it is only the beginning.

The toll: one dead (a nun riding in a car about a mile back from the first crash), two critically injured. 24 in the hospital, 25 others slightly injured. 20 cars demolished. 40 cars disabled...
...California, as in the 49 smaller states, a driver who crashes into another car from behind bears the burden of proving he was not driving too fast or too close-making 199 drivers potentially at fault for the Santa Ana smashup.
