Nation's Traffic Death Toll Jumps Toll Over 1,000 Above Lost Year CHICAGO (INS)—The national safety council reported today the death toll on the nation’s highway is now more than 1.000 higher than it was the same time’last year. Traffic deaths at the end of eight months totaled 28,470, as compared with 22,430 for the same period of ISs4—an increase of 5 percent. The council said August deaths alone jumped 10 percent, almost equalling July's 11 percent increase. Ned H. Dearborn, president of the council, pointed out that the last quarter of the year—with its earlier darkness and bad weather —normally is the worst. He declared : "The rising tide of traffic deaths means that every driver must be his brother's keeper.” Dearborn cited two Indiana cities for traffic safety. Indianapolis, along with Denver and Kansas City is tied for first place in cities of the 350,000 - 500,000 population bracket at 1.9 deaths per 10,000 registered vehicles. , South Bend leads cities in the 100,000 to 200,000 bracket with .5 for each 10,000 vehicles. Indianapolis Faces Battle Over Time City's C. of C. To Ask Standard Time INDIANAPOLIS (INS)' — Indianapolis city councilmen, who sometime ago said they knew of no move to change the capital city back to standard time, may find out differently Monday night. William H. Book, executive vice president of the Indianapolis chamber of commerce, said his organization will ask the councilmen at their meeting Oct. 3 to return the city to standard time Oct’. 30. This procedure is being followed by Chicago and New York, among others. The board of directors of the Chamber voted in favor of ending daylight time during winter months. The Indianapolis News currently is conducting a poll of readers to determine whether they prefer CDT or CST. A preliminary count of votes indicated standard time’ was ahead today, by a ratio of five to 1. 1. A number of "smaller towns around Indianapolis may be affected by whatever the city council decides, since they are trying to stay in time with the capital. Northern Indiana Declares Dividend The board of directors of. Northern Indiana Public Service company declared a dividend of $1.0625 a share on the 4*4 percent cumulative preferred stock; $1.13 a share on the 4% cumulative preferred stock; and $1.06 a share on the 4.22 percent cumulative preferred stock, Dean H. Mitchell. NIPSCO president, announced today. All three dividends are payable October 14, to shareholders of record at the close of business October 5. Investigating Death Os Indianapolis Man Common Law Wife In Serious Condition INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Police hoped to shed some light today on the tragic events that led to the death of a 77-year-old Indianapolis man and the near death ot a woman described as his com-mon-law wife. Gas fumes filled their home when neighbors discovered their plight. The couple had lived in dusty seclusion in a near-downtown house, and apparently had subsisted on bread, milk and apple pies, which they had brought to them by neighbors. However; a search of the home disclosed they had more than $4.000 in cash, half in their home and half in a bank. Dead was Walter O. Lyons, 77. a former industrial worker who had retired this summer because of & heart ailment. — In Indianapolis General hospital today in serious condition is Mrs. Josephine Brown, 66, who was taken from the gas filled home in an almost lifeless condition. She improved slightly overnight and police had hopes of questioning her about the death of her ”- companion and her own illness.Meanw'hJle, officers theorized that Lyons died of a heart attack and that Mrs. Brown first attempted "suicide by turning on a gas stove then changed her mind and turned, it off. They said a thorough check of the house by experts failed to locate any gas leaks. An autopsy was ordered in investigation of Lyons’ death. Police also were seeking relative#.
