AUTO TOLL
National Organization Joins
in Campaign to Reduce
Accident Casualties.
BY ROBERT S. THORNBURG.
International News Service.

Secretary Of Commerce Hoover
has played a hand in an endeavor
to reduce the tremendous loss OF
life from automobile accidents IN
the United States every year.
Directed by Hoover, a dozen ma
tional organizations have started
the formation of a permanent COM
mittee that will study the causes
of motor accidents, responsible for
at least 1900 deaths in 1928, with
a view to making the city streets
and rural highways safe for hui
mainly. ~ o..
7 Among the organizations cooper.
ating with the Department of Com.
merce are the Chamber Of Commerce
Of the United States, the National
Safety. Council, Equitable Life In.
Surance Company. American Auto
mobile Association, National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce, Ma
tional Bureau of Casualty Surety
Underwriters. American Federated
Engineering Society, American Rail
way Association, and the American
Mutual Alliance.
Under an agreement reached at
a preliminary meeting with Score
tary Hoover, each organization will
submit names of persons to repre-
sent it on the permanent commits.
sion. It was expected that Hoover
l would act as chairman and the
Department of Commerce as a CO.
| ordinating body.
Some Of the detectives Of Hoover's
committee are:
Elimination of careless drivers.
Adequate punishment of reckless
and intoxicated operators.
Investigation and determination
OF causes of automobile accidents.
A national campaign Of education
against auto accidents.
Included in the tentative plans
of the organization is STANDARDIZED
ton of traffic regulations through
out the United States, already sug
gested by experts at the Bureau OF
Standards. Traffic regulations diff
fer widely, and their lack Of uni
formity may to some measure be
responsible for accidents.
Following organization of the
committee it will Immediately pro
coed to compilation Of data already
collected by the automobile indus
try and. associations as. to the
causes Of accidents. A thorough
study Of these causes by experts
will form the basis for recon

and for an educational campaign.
The possibility Of asking Presi
