u. ). Traffic Deaths
Climb II Per Cent;
District Toll Low
National Safety Council
Sees Fatalities Headed
For AIl-Time High
BY the Associated Press.

@~SSSS%fAeNN
CHICAGO, July 30.-The Nations
traf1c death toll during the first half
OF 194l increased II per cent over
the same period of 1910, a trend
which the National Safety Council
said today pointed toward an all
time high for the year.
The six-month total was 1870,
or 1880 more than the 14,420 for the
same 1946 period.
Unless the trend is checked, the
council said, the 194l annual
count will shoot past 10000, COM
pared with last years $4,000. The
last half of the year invariably
brings the heaviest toll.
ID. c. Toll Fourth Lowest.
The Washington toll was listed
fourth lowest among cities of 100000
and higher population, behind Mil
waukee. New York and Boston
The council said the rise could be
explained only in part by more
travel, for travel increased only IL
per cent while deaths rose II. Con-
sequently, the mileage death rate
was per cent higher than for the
same period last year.
This is especially disturbing"
the council said, since even in
years when the traffic toll has in
creased the mileage death rate has
dropped"
The death increase was general
throughout the Nation, only nine
States cutting their traffic fatali-
ties during the first half Of the
year.
Rural Area Gain Largest.
Rural areas had the greatest rise,
% per cent, while towns under
10000 population had an II per
cent increase. The council said the
only bright spot in the picture was
the record of cities of 10000 or more
population, which held the death
increase to l per cent.
The toll continued to soar in June,
the 18th successive month to show
an increase. The June total was
$3.50, Is per cent above the $3.50
figure for June, 1940
In the siX-month ranking for
cities of 100000 or more population
Milwaukee took first place. with a
rate of 90 deaths per 100000 popu-
lation. New York shaded Boston
for runnerup, The Washington
figure was 1912.

of the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton, by people of solid reputation" :"
among them Cornelius Vanderbilt,
jr., and his sister, Mrs. Robert l..
Stevens.
The alleged mimicry, he added,
was reputed to have taken place at
party at Newport, r. l., during
the summer Of 1910. One of his
exhibits was an affidavit from Mrs.
Stevens In which she stated that
she never had seen Mr.. Hammond
mimic the President or heard of his
doing so.
As for his relations with Miss
Stein, he asserted that they were
purely platonic, that he had helped
her obtain visa to the United States
and that he had accepted from her
loan of $100 and a gold watch SC
that he might return them to her
in the United States. This was
substantiated in an affidavit from
Miss Stein, in which she denied any
misconduct of any kind.
The brief further set forth that
Mr.. Hammond had been Informed
by Assistant Secretary Shaw on Feb
ruary 26 that he had been placed
on probationary status" and that
he would be sent to Montreal. He
said he was advised that there was
no use to fight the charges because
the Board of Foreign Service was
| resolved to get rid of him.
