VACATIONS SEND TRAFFIC DEATHS 0 RECORD HIGH

August Shows Biggest Increase in Over 3 Years and ost of It Is in Country.

CHICAGO, Sept. 30 (U. P.) —The Xatjonal Safety Council reported voday that August vacation travel resulted in the greatest traffic death increase for a single month in more than three years. The council counted 3200 traffic deaths during August, 18 per cent higher than the 2730 killed in the same month of 1939. - Npt since March, 1937, the council said, had there been such an incregse in the comparative monthly figures. The council called it “a startling reversal” since there had been a 3 per [cent decline in July and records of other years indicated only a 3 per | cent increase for the heavytravel vacation months of July and August. Mileage Goes Up

Two factors were considered in attributing much of the increase to vacation travel. Preliminary mileage| figures indicated unusually heayy travel for the month. Cities reported an increase of 4 ‘per cent over a year ago, .indicating “deaths on rural highways must have gone up a whacking 25 per cent” during the month. “This again points to vacation travel,” the council said. For the first eight months of the year, the council reported, traflic deaths totaled 20,640—7 per cent more than for the same period in 1939. Mile for mile, seven-month figures figures showed that travel this| year was 1 per cent safer than a year ago. Total mileage was up 7 per cent for the period.

Montana Tops States

Montana led the states in reductionl of fatalities for the eightperiod with a drop of 16 per cent. Aves improved 12 per cent and North Carolina 11 per cent. Only eight states had better records than in [1939. . Jarsey City led the large cities with a 55 per cent improvement for the | eight months. Oakland, Cal, had| 37 per cent fewer deaths and Kansas City 36 per cent. During Auglist there were no traffic deaths in | Jersey City, Dallas, Memphis Providence, R. I. Cities with lowest death rates for eight months, classified by size, ¢ Buffalo, N. Y. (over 500,000); vidence, R. I. (over 250,000); Yonkers, N. Y. (100,000 to 250,000) ; Lakewood, O.

ARMY STUDIES ROAD SYSTEM

Maps Plans to Prevent Clogging Like That in . Belgium, France.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 (U. P.). —The Army general staff is taking precautions against an eventuality that clogged roads in the United States might some day prevent troops from reaching a given point to turn the tide against an invader. One of the contributing factors to the defeat of France, according to some military observers was the

clogged roads of Belgium. When the Germany army smashed into the Low Contries last May, fifth columnists spread terror among the population by telling them the Germans were only a few miles away and advising them to

§ | flee at once.

By the time the refugees approached the French border, they were of such preponderant numbers

that the French army was unable |-

to move past them, Traffic Control Tested

The Army is making sure thdt this will not happen in the United States. The Army recently held extensive maneuvers in three areas, attended by civilian traffic control experts. Their job was to observe Army transport movements and submit reports and recommendations to the general staff on the best way to handle military traffic quickly and with a minimum of ihcon-

Binnie Barnes Marries Again

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 30. (U. P.). —A divorce which became legally effective at midnight Saturday

allowed Mike Frankovich, former U. C. L. A. football star, to marry Binnie Barnes, English motion picture actress yesterday. Frankovich, adopted son of Joe E. Brown, was married to Miss Barnes in a ceremony at Brown's home a few minutes after 12 o'clock. The comedian acted as best man while Municipal Judge Benjamin Scheinman united the pair in marriage. Miss Barnes was divorced in 1936 from Samuel Joseph, London art dealer and book publisher. Frankovich separated from his first wife, Mrs. Georgiana Frankovich, a year ago.

22 BIG OIL CONGERNS FACING TRUST SUIT

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 (U. P.). —The Justice Department files an anti-trust suit against 22 major oil companies in the Federal District Court here today. The suit was limited to prevent any serious dislocation of the defense program. It seeks an injunction to halt alleged attempts by the companies, their subsidiaries and affiliated concerns, and the American Petroleum Institute, to fix prices; stifle competition and restrict -the production of crude oil and manufacture of petroleum products. It also seeks the dissoJution of the institute. The case recently was studied by the National Defense Commission, which urged the Department to make no attempt to divest the companies of their transportation and marketing facilities, because it might jeopardize the defense program. Attorney General Robert H. Jackson accepted the recommendations. But the Department left the way open for the District Court to order the disintegration of the companies.

WAR POLICIES GROUP IS URGED

Brookings Asks Co-ordina-tion of Fiscal, Credit, Trade And Price Views.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 (U. P.). —The Brookings Institution today recommended broadening of the Government’s industrial mobilization plan to provide for a commission with war-time authority to co-ordinate fiscal, credit, foreign trade and wage policies with direct price control. Its recommendations were based on a survey started last year at the request of the War and Navy Departments but, it said, neither

department “has any responsibility

for the conclusions reached.” “World war experience demonstrated the wisdom of vesting price control in temporary agencies, to be liquidated on the return of peace, rather than in permanent Government departments,” the report said. It suggested four principal points:

FISCAL POLICIES—The Government must get most of its war funds from taxes and from loans paid for out of current-income.

GOVERNMENT BUYING —: A central authority should establish maximum prices to be paid by the Government for ‘scarce essentials.” Government buying should be coordinated to avoid cempesition on limited supplies.

CONTROL OF WAGES — Wages should be raised only to insure health and efficiency or when other commodities fail to keep down the cost of living.

EMPHASIS ON PRODUCTION— Suspension of all restrictions on production and hours (Agricultural Adjustment Administration, WalshHealey Act and Wage-Hour Law).

Their reports will be made soon. But in the meantime, the Army is making arrangements with the Automotive Safety Foundation for a study of all traffic control problems in connection with military movements. In addition, the Army enlisted

the aid of the American Trucking | and the National |

Association, Inc., Association ‘of Motor Bus Operators, which will make available their fleet engineering methods and drivers’ training practices.

Another Step Taken

Still a further step to build up a defense highway system has been taken by the War Department. With the assistance of the Public Roads Administration, the Army is making a survey of 75,000 miles of arterial highways in the continental United States to ascertain where they are weak, what repairs will be needed, what new roads if any will be necessary, and how much the whole job will cost. A report on this survey probably will be made to President Roosevelt soon. Meantime, the roads administration is preparing to construct 3000 miles of roadway leading to military reservations—necessitated for the most part by erection of 120 cantonments to house draftees.
