TRAFFIC FATALITY
DECLINE INDICATED
Deaths in 86 Chief Cities in
First 13 Weeks '36
Show Drop.
BY ALEXANDER r. GEORGE.

BY ALEXANDER r.. GEORGE.
Ey the Associated Press.
Decline in motor car fatalities dur
ing the first quarter Of this year is in
dicated by Census Bureau statistics for
So principal cities.
Automobile deaths in those cities
totaled 1854 in the first 13 weeks of
1886 as compared with 2,l44 in the
corresponding period of 1885, a de-
crease of 18 per cent.
While figures on fatalities in smaller
towns and rural areas are not avail
able, the substantial reduction in the
larger cities is considered indicative
OF a general decrease.
Snow Is Credited.
Traffic experts attribute the i'm
proved showing in part to the fact
that the unusually cold weather and
heavy SHOWS in January and February
curtailed the use of automobiles and
put a damper on fast driving. They
also see evidence Of greater caution
by drivers and pedestrians.
Thomas P. Henry, president of the
American Automobile Association. says
the safety program launched early in
the year by large national organiza-
tionS has already become factor in
the situation and has assured greater
degree of coordination of effort than
ever before"
Safety authorities point out that
the big test of what can be accom-
plished in motor car accident reduc-
ton will come in the six-month pc
riod, April l to September 80, the
period of greatest car use and heaviest
travel.
Greater Touring Expected.
Touring this season is expected to
exceed even the heavy volume of last
year. Motorists are cautioned by
safety proponents to bear in mind that
many highways have been damaged
by floods, frost and ice. This condi-
ton calls for reasonable speeds, a
minimum of night driving and care
full observation of road conditions,
they warn.
There we're 12,6O0 night traffic IA
talities in 1884 on rural highways,
more than a third of all motor car
deaths. Analyses made in five States
showed that traffic fatalities by day
were decreasing slightly but that night
fatalities were increasing appallingly
Some safety advocates have said
that the proper lighting of $4,000
miles of the most hazardous and
heavily travelled highways would save
each year at least 5000 lives, $4,000
personal injuries and 100000 cases of
property damage.

eral tendency toward industrial revival the statement of the chairman of the United States Steel Corpora ton at the annual meeting of the companys share holders is interesting MT. Taylor pointed out that the corporations mills operating at the high est rate since 1930 and 50 per cent higher than a year ago To this he added:
 If one considers the accumulated need of
 the country for steel for replacement purposes due to ordinary wear and tear as well as to
 obsoescence in all the capital-goods industries
 the conclusion is unacceptable that either now or very soon in the future these needs must
 be satisfied else all commerce and all industry in the nation will suffer very great injury
 His judgment as expressed to the shareholders. was that continuance of recent demands from con- sumers would result in the gradual attainment of a normal status Of production Precisely what would be
 normal status" may possibly be matter of debate. During the years immediately preceding the breakdown of October 1929 the steel industry was working at or near 100 per of capacity Last month according to MT Tavlor the Steel Corporation operated at 50 per cent; but the estimates for the steel industry at large have been rapidly advancing in recent weeks The Iron Ages estimate for the current week production of 66 per cent of capacity as compared with 56 month ago and with 46 at this time in 1855 Probably the trade would class normal production somewhat halfway between the present rate and the immediate pre-depresson output
 The Steel Corporations Chairman pointed out correctly why the of the steel industry is faithful index to industrial in general At the present time the demands for manufactured steel are handicapped by the condition of the railways whose prolonged deficit in earnings during the depression has rendered them cautious about ndulgng in large pur- chases for renewals and improvements In the recoV- cry after reaction of 1921 acquisitions on the steel trade were heavily increased by the shortage of hous- ing facilities whose extent, a consequence of war time restrictions had been greatly underrated At the present time the demand for structural steel has shown signs of expansion, but not at the oldtime rate. On the other hand orders for steel from the automobile industry show evidence of becoming, as they were year ago. an important factor in the making of steel The General Motors Company this week reported that actual sales of for March were the largest on record for that month having been equaled by TO month since May 1928 and that sales for the compet ed quarter of 1886 the largest for that period in the history of the company This sudden and rapid expansion of motor purchases is of the strlk ing phenomena in the period of recovery.

ASSESSMENT WORK MAKES
 EMPLOYMENT

For the first year since 1881 mining claim holders in Alaska must do their assessment work this year The law requiring assessment work was suspended by Act of Congress in 1882 the height of the presson in effort to alleviate the burden of mining along with the millions of others the nation who were suffering from the Hoover debacle. Each year since at the request of the Legislature, Con gress has suspended the provision for assessment the theory that it would aid in readjustment
 In the States suspension is ,still in effect this year but Alaska has not been included in the action and it will be necessary for claim holders to do their s100 worth of work lode claims and $lO0 worth per each 20 acres or fraction thereof on placer holdings
 Some claim holders will feel that Alaska is being discriminated against and they may be more than half right But it must be remembered that Alaska s aim is to develop it's mineral resources and develop doesn't come with suspension of assessment work
 The streams and hills in the States in such mn- ing they have are filled with workers dig ging a few dollars out here and there and keeping off relief rolls There literally thousands of them struggling around in decrepit model ITS trying to make living. Fact is entire population doesn't amount to half the number that the scrambing for living in the hills of California, for example.
 Here claims have been lying idle for four years but we do have some relief workers Requirement of assessment work may be the very thing that will bridge in the gap for scores of them right now if claim holders will get busy These men need the work and the claim holder may very well find just the thing he is looking for-that paying vein-by starting operations. Of course there are many who will work their claims but there are thousands of claims throughout the Territory held by ndivid- uals and companies who expect to hire their assess ment work done

 The arrest by special agents of the Department ot Justice of eight charged with the theft o $590- 900 of United States Treasury notes is notable ex- ample of the valuable work being done by Chief J.
