Provo Improves Traffic Record 43AIT LAKE CITY, July 3 (UP) The traffic toll in Utah was drown today to have dropped 17 ner cent as compared-with tkjm 'same period last year, although the July 4th holiday caused some concern in traffic safety headquarters. head-quarters. To July 1, 1941, there were 79 automobile fatalities in Utah, while this year the number dropped drop-ped to 65 deaths. The 17 per cent reduction was attributed to slower driving speeds which save both rubber and gasoline. gaso-line. Provo and Logan showed improvement im-provement over last year, having recorded only one fatality this year as compared with three in 1941. However, Ogden showed a Harked increase in traffic deaths, recording six in 1942 as against one last year. Cool As a Mountain Top U.kU 11 V NOW ... YOUR GALA 4th OF JULY SMASH .ENTERTAINMENT!

The offensive between Belgorod and Volchansk, which the Ger mans started in two directions, was new, and there were no im mediate front line reports on its progress.

Still In Uproar ; Congress was still in uproarious dissent to that suggestion at the close of legislative business yesterday, yes-terday, and among the last and, perhaps, most revealing statements state-ments was one from Rep. Thoiryis H. Elliot, D., Mass., an administration adminis-tration supporter, who introduced a bill to authorize the secretany of agriculture to set the price of agricultural products at parity instead in-stead of 110 per cent of parity. The break in the price ceiling has started," Eliot said, "with an increase of 15 per cent in all canned can-ned and dried fruit. This is just the beginning unless action is taken by the congress. The price rise in capned fruit was caused by the provision in thp law saying that the fruit growers can charge a price of at least 110 per cent of parity. The farm bloc just looks ridiculous when it says that every price ceiling on farm products must be at least 10 per cent higher high-er than a fair price. Yet, that is what they wrote into the law." Bitter Comments There were bitter comments on both senate and house floors as congress maneuvered for a contest which, on . the economic front, .might be measured for importance with the United Nations battle in the middle east. Who is right and who is wrong in the anti-inflation dispute probably will not be decided until the story is old and has been written by an objective objec-tive historian. Some congressmen are angry because Henderson's vast proposed pro-posed office of price administra tion bureaucracy might encroach on their own political preserves back home, especially in the selection selec-tion ot state and regional directors. direc-tors. Henderson wants 88,000 employes and congress is disposed dis-posed to give him only 50,000. There is bitter congressional protest pro-test against the 2M cents increase in gasoline prices in the eastern rationed area, the contention being be-ing that all parts of the country should help pay the freight for bringing expensive tank car gasoline gaso-line into this area.
