The council had predicted 800
holiday traffic deaths.
The previous Labor Day record
was 383 traffic deaths, set in 1949.
Last years highway toll was 800.
This is high price to pay for a
little holiday fun" Dearborn said,
'even in these times"
THE irony of this thing is that
the vast majority of the 40,000000
motorists on the road drove care
fully, and the high toll was due in
a large part to the behavior of a
relatively few people who drove
like crazy fools"
Several of the highway crashes
cost the lives of whole families. A
total of 26 persons were killed in
four crashes alone.
SEVEN ARE KILLED
Seven members of an Aitken.

skidded off a highway and crashed
into a water filled ditch. A teen
age boy was the sole survivor.
Eight members of the John L.
Price family were killed in a crash
at Forth Worth, Tex, leaving only
two sisters alive.
The worst single tragedy was the
capasizing of the pleasure fishing
boat Pelican which cost 81 lives. The
vessel turned over during a gale

Code Being Planned
To Conserve Steel

WASHINGTON - up The
government was reported today to
be preparing a national uniform
building code which would follow
up its steel-saving order.
The code would be designed to
conserve the nations critical sup
plies of building materials. In one
step yesterday the government
drastically cut back requests of in
dustrial firms for structural steel
for new construction in the final
quarter of the year.
Defense Production Administra-
tor Manly Fleischmann said the
crucial shortage of steel is so
great" that all other demands ex-
cept the military had to be scaled
down"
STANDARDIZATION SOUGHT
The proposed building code,
which would apply principally to
home construction, would be aimed
at standardizing widely varying
building codes set up by local
communities.
The local codes, which very
often prescribe extremely rigid
building specifications, have result
ed in "wasteful" use of building
materials in a time of national
emergency, one official said.
He said that many of the building
specifications laid down in local
codes could not be justified in
terms of necessary safety in home
construction.
A uniform building code has long
been recommended by various
architectural and construction
groups. The official said the feder-
al government could impose such a
code now as an emergency meas
ure to control the amount of such
critically short materials as cop
per and steel which are going into
home construction.

THE Commissioner has ruled
that service men, who accept
part time employment in Florida,
or whose wives or other mern-
bers of Immediate families are
employed in this state, must SCI
cure Florida license plates for

further stated that he will back
this ruling in the courts, If neces-
sary. ~
"He states that, while he re-
cognized the Soldiers and Sailors
Relief Act as amended and ex-
tended. it is his policy to offer
every consideration to men and
women in the armed services, he
does not have statutory authori-
ty to arbitrarily exempt persons
in the above category, For one
reason, the Florida Supreme
Court has held that any auto
mobile with foreign registration
used by any nonresident engag-
ed in a gainful trade. profession
or occupation in this state is sub
ject to Fla. registration.
In the case of school teachers,
since great part of the ex-
penses of our Florida public
school system is paid with funds
derived from the sale of. Florida
license tags. he does not believe
that anyone in this category. who
receives reasonable remunera-
ton from our public school sys-
tenn would conscientiously object
to the annual SIS tag, which IS
required for the average car.
