Show New High Looms in Traffic Toll CHICAGO, Dec. M (INS) The nation apparently is headed for -a new ail-time high in automobile deaths nearly 40.000 the National Na-tional Safety council said today. The death toll for the first 11 months was 35.(10. the council sointed out, only 2190 short of ths 1934 year's total, in December , of last year 4290 were killed, meaning this would have to be cut in half if the country were I not to kill as many this year. November, however, saw a drop of 10 per cent from the preceding month -and the same month last year, the council added, add-ed, the total being 3500. So far this year's gain in deaths is about per rent, almost paralleling paral-leling the increase in motor travel, so that on a mileage basis there is no actual increase in the traffic death rate. I |
