California was awarded first

among the larger States in 1854
by the National Safety Council.
The State spends $500 million q
year for highways.
| But more than 5000 have
died in traffic crackups in each
of the last several years. The
total for 1854 was 3,104-down
from 1871 and 1862 in the two
preceding years.
Highway deaths for the first
six months of 1855 already have
reached 1,4s5. ~ per cent ahead
of last year.
So Many More Autos
One obvious reason more mo-

Is that there are so many more
of them. California has IL per

addition to its own 6 million,
another million cars visit the
State each year.
The National Safety Council

with 81 for the entire country.
In 1854 this State was below

eral, charged yesterday.
The general spoke on panel
discussion at the convention OF

Gen. Coffey said certain Of the
code provisions are cumbersome
to the extent that they can lead
to "a nearly complete break
down in the enforcement Of
criminal justice in serious mat
tiers in the military service" in
wartime.
The general praised the estab-
lishment of the Court Of Military
Appeals and the placing Of court
martial operations largely in the
hands Of lawyers.
AssaiIs Delays

visions of the code as having
"built-in delays"
