I AYOR BLASTS l GARY CRIME COMMISSION / >SKI!T GROi:P SHOULD MK.\n ITS OWN WAYS NOW GAKY, July JO. Gary’s mayc retorted Friday to a critical i ime commission that it should r tend its own ways. The sharp exchange was the latest in the campaign started t a Women's Citizens committee to clean up vice in the steel city. The women have been y’cketing places suspected of harboring vice. Mayor Eugene .Swartz said in an open statement to the Gary ( time commission. a self-ap-pointed group of business men: “How about picketing the v ell-kntiwn Country club frequented by the members of the Women’s Citizens committee and the Gary Crime eommission, where nearly all the violations complained of within the city of Gary have taken place and continue to take place? 'Witness, for instance, the recent party where the members were edified by a strip tease entertainment of the lowest sort as a prelude to an evening’s activity of $5 limit poker and $200 dice games. "Let's have no double standards. please” Swartz's blast followed an
open letter to him from Dr M. P Avery, member of the crime commission. The Averp letter had complimented the women on their picketing and called a raid last Sunday’, led by Millard T.jMatovina, police chief, "useless.” The raiders, who visited several places, arrested a man aJid a woman, who wore released because of insufficient evidence against them. The police also had no search warrants. Avery charged that Matovina had used on the raid old members of the police force instead of tiie members of a new vice squad named since the anticrime drive started. Matovina also joined in the fuss. He issued a statement in his own defense and charged ' that Dr. Avery had never conferred with him at the station and that he would be glad to cooperate if approached.
First Drop In
U. S. Traffic Toll
CHICAGO, July .'!0 (UP) The traffic death toll for the first six months of 1940 was the lowest in the nation's history for the number of miles travele i the National Safety Council re-
ported today.
But the actual gain in liv-'s was small, bycause people are traveling more, council president Ned H. Dearborn said. “We still must count the
dead,” he said, “and it .mounts to shameful proportions. The equivalent to the population of Miami Beach Fla., is wiped out
every year."
The mileage death rate for ' the first six months was seven dead for every 100 million miles

The number of miles traveled was up six per cent since lurt year, and 26 per end over 1941. Because of the tremendous in- ! crease in tiavel since the wav.
