Price Director ArnaIl Believes New
Steel Price Will Lead to Initiation

A--~@-~
Both Price Director Ellis Arnall
and Economic Stabilizer Roger l..
Putnam believe the steel price cell
ing increase they opposed unsuc-
cessfully will lead to more imitation.
Arnall said the boost in the price
of steel will cost the average
American family $100 year. He
admitted that the increase, ordered
by Acting Defense Mobilizer John
Steelman as condition of the So
day steel strike settlement, was a
very, very bitter pill for me-
Another round of imitation will be
set off,, Arnall said. "Other in
dustries will insist on higher prices,
there will be higher wages, and the
consumer, the public, is the loser in
that battle" He said that every
thing will be done to isolate" the
steel increase. In a letter to Arm
all, Economic Stabilizer Putnam
earlier charged the steel industry

ernment's head in forcing the price
increase. He too held the increase

INCREASED TRAFFIC

A marked increase in traf-
fic has been noted on Com
merce Street here since the
opening of the Chesapeake
Bay Bridge August 27. Cars
from every state in the nation
now travel thru Commerce
Street and cars from other
states out-number Delaware
cars as much as eight to one.
Already a traffic and parking
problem, the increased traffic
made this a crucial situation
that had to be solved. After
traffic snarls and tie-ups for
one or two blocks became fire.
quent occurrences the first
two days, the police depart
ment eliminated parking on
the north side of Commerce st
from Main to Delaware Street
on Saturday. This seems to
have corrected the problem in
the business section but chief
of police John w. Jacobs, Jr.,
has said that this is just a
temporary move on the part
of the police department,
awaiting action by Town
Council at its meeting this
Friday. Council should realize
the seriousness of this situa-
tion and make this a perman-
ent move or at least a tempor-
ary one until Glenwood Av-
enue is completed and has
proved that it will shuttle the
major portion of traffic around
town. Council should also con-
tinue one-sided parking from
Delaware Street to Clayton
Boulevard from the stand
point of safety as well as i'm
proved traffic conditions.
This is a problem that has
been discussed and debated
ever since the installation of
the parking meters which
eliminated one-sided parking
in the business section and
with the added problem of the
Bay Bridge traffic demands
immediate action in the best
interest of the community as
a whole.

KILLED in Traffic

Thanksgiving Day.
An unofficial survey showed to-
day that SO persons were killed
on streets and highways and 2:
in miscellaneous mishaps between
6 pm. Wednesday and last mid
night.
Cold weather and snow-packed
and icy highways kept thousands
OF motorists off the highways and
the cut in travel held down the
traffic toll. This death list COM
pared with 102 last year, 81 in

in 1947 and 50 in 1946.
SO Killed Every Day.
National Safety Council records
show that in the first nine months
of this year 80 persons were killed
in traffic every "a hours. This
total, however. is not comparable
with that of the Thanksgiving Day
