PROMOTE UNIFORM
 CONTROL OF SPEED
Leading Traffic Groups of Nation Seek Immediate
 Action Too

Steps to promote uniform control of dangerous speed in the postwar period were taken by representa- tives of leading traffic associations at meeting in Chicago this week.
 Joseph Kluchesky, chief of police of Milwaukee, Wis, and vice-presi- dent of the International Associa- tion of Chiefs of Police, was named chairman of a joint committee on postwar speed control. Harry E.. Neal, state traffic engineer of Ohio, representing the American Associa- tion of State Highway Officials, is viee-chairman, and Donald s. Berry, director of the Traffic & Transportation division of the Na- tional Safety council, is secretary.
 Every member of this newly formed committee is fully aware of the postwar traffic speed possibil- ities," Chief Kluchesky said.
 '"TheSe men, who are in daily con- tact with every phase of traffic con- trol, know that we are doomed to a traffic massacre such as this na- ton has never seen unless steps are taken now to get ready for control ling traffic after the war.
 "The committee unanimously agreed that first attention should be given to the immediate problems of the postwar period such as the relaxing of the national 35-mile speed limit in rural areas" Chief Kluchesky said.
 "All of us know that post-war speed must be related to the deter iorated conditions of automobiles, tires and roads which will exist at that time. Speed is an important factor in postwar traffic control" Chief Kluchesky emphasized.
 Members of the committee will study and compare traffic control measures before reaching an agree ment on definite postwar plans. The results of their study will be used as the basis for recommenda- tions to traffic officials and aSSocia- tions.
