The toll vwas 3910, an increase of 21 per cent over the 3230 total of August . 1940. With the exception of a few states the increase was quite uniform throughout the country. This is all out of proportion propor-tion to the increase in traffic on the roads, and suggests a growing tension and strain . on motorists.

SINKING OF U.S. TANKER DENOUNCED Secretary Hull Says Sinking Is Act Of Piracy BY JOHN R. BEAL WASHINGTON, Oct. 4 CU.E Secretary of State Cordell Hull today denounced sinking of the American-owned tanker I. C. White as apparently "'another act of lawlessness, piracy and attempted attempt-ed f rightfulness" which Is part of a plan to drive people from Atlantic At-lantic sealanes. Hull added the act apparently was also part of the . general movement, of world conquest. He spoke strongly in support of a policy of self-defense as against ordinary interpretations of International Inter-national law. He spoke at greater great-er length and more forcefully than usual. "It seems to be another act of lawlessness, piracy and attempted frightfulness in connection with the general movement - to - drive people off the Atlantic ocean, which is part of the world movement move-ment of conquest," he told a press conference. Reporters asked whether the fact that the ship was under the direction of the British government, govern-ment, a belligerent, might not alter the situation under international interna-tional law. Hull replied he had not yet obtained detailed information. He added, however, that the main point to consider is that when someone is . moving towards people peo-ple with a gun, the threatened .persons .per-sons must defend themselves. The aggressors cannot invoke the law against a person acting in self-defense, self-defense, he said. He said that the policy of self-defense self-defense and the American policy of British aid must go up or down, together. .. . - .

S Blame World Saints Urged By President McKay Not To Lose Hope; Admonished To Live in Accordance With Teachings By MURRAY M. MOLER SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 4 U.R) Ten thousand faithful L. D. S. were told at the third session of their 112th semiannual semi-annual conference that the doctrine of hate has been, responsible re-sponsible for most of the major troubles of the world, including in-cluding the present European war. But the saints were urged by the second counselor of their first presidency, David O. McKay, not to lose hope and to be "determined to try and live in accordance with Christ's - teachings, particularly in the love- of they fellow man." McKay, principal speaker and presiding officer at the session, reviewed the many accomplishments accomplish-ments of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints during dur-ing the last six months, and predicted pre-dicted a promising future for the religion and its members. Period of Despair, "It is true that the world is going through a period of despair, trouble and sorrow," McKay told the throng in the Salt Lake tabernacle taber-nacle a throng that for the first Ime in the recollection of this correspondent cor-respondent contained a uniformed army officer. He spoke as the drone of army bombers from the Salt Lake base was faintly audible in the huge, egg-shaped meeting hall. "The four horsemen of death, pestilence, famine and war are riding over most of the world, unchecked," un-checked," McKay said. "Freedom of speech, of action, and of work is being attacked. ' "Systems " of . government long trusted are being questioned. Religious Re-ligious truths are being doubted. Hell has really broken loose; in many parts of the world. But we should have faith and be strong." He said he was bringing a message mes-sage of "cheer, hope and faith," despite "the topsy-turvlness of the -wortdy'UaBiha.4act.r. that "man, through his littleness,: has i brought on himself this strife and trouble;" ' r- , ; ' "Conditions in the church were never better or more promising than they are today," the second counselor told the tabernacle crowd and a vast radio audience.
