Mr.. Brophy referred to statements
made by Mr.. Frey before the House

In those statements Mr.. Frey at one
point linked Mr.. Brophy with some

made by Frey or any one else"
Mr.. Brophy said. John P. Frey
knows better than this. But John
P. Frey is not interested in the truth

TRAFFIC SURVEYS
CUT DEATH TOLL
P. w. A. Workers Get Picture
of Highway and City
Travel.
81 the Associated PresG.

81 the Associated Press.
Men standing at crossroads and busy
street corners, endlessly making marks
on paper, are saving lives and laying
out the plans for the highways Of the
future.
That's the story Of two Federal
agencies which have worked with the
State and city trafic checkers who
do the spade work of highway trafIic
engineering.
The Works Progress Administration
reported today that these checkers had
been partly responsible for saving the
lives Of $500 persons who. by all
statistical standards, should be dead"
Highway accidents last year killed
as many persons as there are residents
Of Waltham, Mass, or Santa Monica,
Calf. The trends foreshadowed an
other $1,000 deaths by June /, but
engineering, education and enforce
ment" reduced this figure by $500.
$12,750,000 For Studies.
w. P. A. has authorized expenditure
of about $12,750,000 for traffic studies
in 155 communities From them city
officials have been able to determine
which streets bore The heaviest trafic,
where most accidents occurred-and
why-and where trafic jammed regu-
larry.
Other checkers have been totting
up the facts which may help Con-
gress determine next year whether
the United States should venture into
large-scale experiment in super
highway construction.
Men stopping motorists along State
roads to ask their destinations are
preparing the data which will help
the Bureau of Public Roads prepare
its superhighway report for Congress
This factual study Of trafic, made
through As cooperating State high
way departments, will form the basis
for the bureaus verdict on the FEAST
bility Of three East-and-West and three
North-and-South superhighways. Con-
gress has asked the bureaus advice.
Get Picture Of Traffic.
BY finding out who uses the roads,
where the travellers come from and
where they are going, the bureau
hopes to be able to present to the
legislators picture of Americas high
way traffic today-and forecast Of
the needs 10 years hence.
Dozens Of superhighway proposals
are before Congress. Most contem-
plate wide highways, laid out on nearly
straight lines, avoiding cities and
towns as much as possible. They pro-
pose roads from 60 to upwards of $50
feet in width, and some would pro-
vide separate truck routes. Most Of
the proposals embody toll charges to
liquidate the cost of construction.
Two projects of the superhighway
nature have already made some prog
ress, A congressional commission is
studying proposed route to Alaska
which would be built by the United
States across Canadian territory.
There is no road at all now along
nearly 1000 miles of the route be-
tween Seattle and Fairbanks.
The other project is nearing actual
construction. 1t is superhighway
between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh,
Pa. to be built by the Pennsylvania
Turnpike Commission with $58, 000, 900
supplied by the P. w. A. and the r.

as a great menace to their security.
A world Communist meeting was
