CHICAGO, May 31 (U. P).—The|

National Safety Council reported | today that traffic fatalities had de- | creased 15 per cent during the last six months, representing a saving | of 2850 lives Indiana was among the 28 states reporting a decrease for the period. | The Hoosier state's deaths dropped | 29 per cent, saving 115 lives. If the rate of decrease can be | maintained, the Council! said, there will be a saving of T7500 lives throughout 1938, as compared to the | number of persons killed in 1937. | Fatalities in April were 490 below the same month last year, a | decrease of 19 per cent. The Coun- | cil said the reductions were not | confined to any one section of the country and were made despite a | sight increase in highway mileage. Of 42 states reporting, 28 showed | decreases or no change for the first four months this year in compari- | son with the corresponding period | of 1837. The states, their per cent | decreases and the comparative | number of lives saved, were: Oregon, 40—24; Michigan, 29— | 220; Delaware, 38—11; Pennsylvania, | 37—282; Vermont, 37—11; Wisconsin, 35—66; Massachusetts, 34—80; | Oklahoma, 33—51; Maryland, 31— 536; Indiana, 29—115; Illinois, 26— | 208; New Jerséy, 26—088; Nebraska, | 26—20; New Hampshire, 26—10, |
