Lane County Lags In Traffic Safety Marion, Tillamook and Wasco counties led their respective groups in the inter-county traffic accident improvement contest at the end of November, it was an nounced by Earl Snell, secretary of state, who sponsors the con test as a phase of his state-wide traffic safety program. In counties of the first division, Marion was first for the second consecutive month while Benton, which has been among the first three counties every month this year, was second and the city of Portland rated third. In the second division, Tilla mook held first place for the fourth consecutive month with Hood River second and Jackson third. Wasco county was first in the third group for the seventh consecutive month. Union county was second for the fourth con secutive month and Baker was third. Umatilla county was dis qualified this month due to in sufficient reports filed with the secretary of state. Standings are computed on a basis of the percentage of im provement in accidents, deaths and injuries made by each county in comparison to the correspond ing period last year. The follow ing standings at the end of Nov ember are cumulative: Group 1. Marion, first; Benton second; Portland, third; Columbia, fourth; Polk, fifth; Multomah, ex clusive of Portland, and Clatsop, sixth; Clackamas and Washington, seventh; Yamhill, eighth. Group 2, Tillamook, first; Hood River, second; Jackson, third; Coos, fourth; Lane, fifth; Lincoln, Linn, sixth. Group 3. Wasco, first; Union, second; Baker, third; Douglas, fourth; Josephine and Deschutes, fifth; Klamath, sixth. Nearly 4000 Licenses Issued In Eugene Close to 4000 temporary 1940 automobile license' tags were is sued at the Lane county sheriff's office from the time the license bureau was opened on December 15 to Saturday afternoon when the last applicant was cared for. This is a slight increase over the num ber issued in 1938. Saturday was the biggest day at the license window. All day there was a long line waiting and at times it took the applicants more than an hour to reach the window after they had lined up. The courthouse doors usually close at noon on Saturdays but owing to the large number of car owners who stood in line at that time Sheriff Swarts decided to accommodate them and left the doors open. However, the outer door was closed at 4 p. m. and there was a line of about 100 in side at that time. Eugeneans On Honor Roll at Monmouth MONMOUTH, Jan. 1.

Italian Train Crash Kills 29, Hurts 100 NAPLES, Italy, Jan. 1 (U.B An express train crowded with New Year's travelers crashed into local train at the Torre Annun zlata station outside Naples today when its engineer failed to obey an emergency signal. An official communique issued at Rome late this evening said that 29 were killed and about 100 in jured in the train wreck. England, Wales, Scotland, Den mark and the Netherlands show the lowest death rates per 100, 000 of population from homicide.

FIRE AUTOMOBILE LIABILITY BONDS New Deal Farm Leaders To Talk Protective Tariff WASHINGTON, Jan. 1 04 Administration farm leaders are preparing to do a lot of talking about "industry's protective tariff" in their efforts to win congres sional approval of a tax to help finance crop control payments to farmers. The counterpart of tariffs which protect industrial goods from lower-prices foreign competition. The certificate program is pro posed to replace payments out of treasury funds for farmers who comply with the felderal agricul tural act. It is encountering oppo sition from some quarters both in and out of congress. Under such a program, produ cers of specified crops would re ceive certificates from the govern ment which provessors and other crop purchasers would have to buy. The certificates would be valued at the difference between the "parity" of pre-1914 price of such commodities and the lower market price. As in the case of the invalidated processing taxes, officials said, the cost of the cer tificate could be passed on the ultimate consumer. This program, explains J. B. Hutson, assistant chief of the agri cultural adjustment administra tion, would "place outside of the federal budget a large part of the protection given farm income un der government programs, just as the protection afforded other in dustries by means of import tar iffs does not appear as an expendi ture of federal funds." Crop control officials want par ticularly to obtain adoption of the certificate program at the coming session of congress. It would avoid the necessity of their appealing to each succeedinf congress for the money needed to make parity payments. These officials believe it might be more difficult to obtain such appropriations after the 1940 election. November Traffic Death Toll Down Oregon's traffic death rate for the month of November this year showed a decrease of 24.3 percent from the rate for the same month last year, it was revealed today by Earl Snell, secretary of state. The rate this November was 14.9 persons killed per 100,000,000 miles traveled, while the rate last November was 19.7. The improve ment, Snell said, was due to two things: first, the reduction in the actual number of persons killed this November compared to last November and secondly, the sharp increase in travel this year. A total of 35 persons was the toll for traffic this November as against 39 for the corresponding month last year. While deaths were fewer, travel increased by 15.5 percent as shown by gasoline consumption figures. This increase was one of the greatest recorded for any one month during the his tory of the state. Snell declared. Travel on Oregon highways and streets during the month of No vember this year totaled 228,399, 678 miles, on the basis of gaso line consumed and figuring an average of 13 miles to the gallon. This figure has been adopted as the standard mileage rate by the National Safety Council. Last No vember mileage totaled 197,681, 016 miles. Oregon's death rate for the first eleven months of this year was 11.2 as compared to a rate of 12.5 for the same period last year. The death rate for the stale for the en tire year of 138 was 12.7. Oregon drivers are to be con gratulated o nthe showing made so far this year," Snell declared. If this record is sustained through the month of December, the most dangerous month of the year so far as traffic accidents are con cerned, Oregon can be justly proud of its record for 1939." New Temblors Rock Devastated Anatolia INSTABUL, Jan. 1 U.R Re lief efforts in the eastern Anatolia earthquake area, already hamper ed by floods, blizzards and broken communications, tonight were dis rupted by new temblors. Reports on the intensity of the new quakes varied, but some said from 25 to 30 villages were de stroyed in the Amasia district. The Istanbul seismograph sta tion announced that tremors in the Anatolia region were likely to continue for six months. Although the original earth quakes occurred Wednesday, com munications continued so disrupt ed that no accurate estimate of the number killed and injured or of the amount of damage was possible. The health ministry issued a statement today estimating the dead in the city of Erzincan at 30,000 and the injured at 12,000. Other reports reaching Istanbul had placed the dead and injured in Erzincan province as high as 70 per cent of the population. The towns of Kemah, Plumur and Kigi were said to have been especially hard hit. Kemah had a population of 70,000; Plumur, 40,000, and Kigi, 1,500. On the basis of these reports, casualties in these three towns alone would be about 78,000. Mrs. Perkins Due To Act On Warrant WASHINGTON, Jan. 1 (U.W Secretary of Labor Frances Perk ins tonight prepared to take form al action on the deportation war rant outstanding against Harry Bridges, west coast CIO maritime chieftain.

When Miss Perkins will act was not known. However, she started study of Landis' 75.000-word re port today and action was ex pected to be speedy. 21 HURT ORANGE, Tex., Jan. 1 (U.B A Southern Pacific passenger train, the Acadian, was derailed two miles east of here early to day, injuring 21 persons. Ski Safety Rules Given As an exciting and healthful outdoor sport, skiing ranks second to none, but there are a few rules that must be observed by both the novice and the expert. These have recently been printed in a pam phlet issued by the forest service. Skiers should remember that: 1. It is dangerous to ski out of control. 2. On practice slopes, the slower moving skier has the right of way. 3. Spill holes made on trails and practice slopes should be filled im mediately. 4. Ski slopes arc for skiers only. Toboggans and sleds should be used on slopes set aside for them. 5. Walking on ski slopes or trails spoils the trail for other skiers. 6. The S. O. S. call is three signals of any kind, audible or vis ible, and the answer is two signals. 7. Ski trips should never be made by parties of less than three, with the proper equipment. The nearest attendant or ranger in charge of the skiing area should be notified.
