More Policemen Urqed
To CurtuiI Accidents

An increase in the personnel of
traffic law enforcement units was
urged today bv the American Auto
mobile Association as a means of
reversing the present upward trend
in motor vehicle accidents and
deaths.
Thomas P. Henry of Detroit,
Mich. president of the organization,
said that improved enforcement,
coupled with campaigns for reduced
speeds as a means of gasoline con-
servation, should bring about an i'm
proved safety record.
He pointed out that there has
been a large gain in automobile reg
istration and operation during the
past year, resulting in greater acci-
dent risk. National defense activ-
ity has increased traffic congestion,
at the same time making heavy de-
mands on law enforcement agencies
outside the field of traffic control,
he said.

could he imagine why they are try
ing to frame me-"

of hats" in his time, but that the
one he had on at the time of his
arrest was the only one he owned
now.

berry was abandoned by the bandits
and later recovered. 1t was traced
