The council reported today that motor 'vehicle fatalities slumped 12 per cent in October. It stated that the abrupt down turn: Halted a rise that had extended through 19 consecutive months. Completely reversed the normal seasonal trend. Set up a chance to keep the 1936 total from reaching record heights. . Deaths on the streets and roads In October numbered 3,450. That was 12 per cent under the number who died in October, 1955. And it was the lowest toll for any Octo ber since 1949. "Not since January of 1948," the council said, "had traffic deaths been reduced as much as 12 per cent in any month." Usually fatalities are higher in October than in any preceding month of a year. Council statisticians said that, If the rising trend of the first nine months of this year had carried through October, the October death total would have been about 800 higher. "Credit for this improvement," stated Ned H. Dearborn, council president,, "must go mainly to the average driver and pedestrian, and certainly to alert public offi cials who were alarmed over the fact that the traffic accident prob lem was getting out of hand. "We are getting action." Traffic fatalities in the first 10 months of this year added up to 32,420, The total was 5 per cent higher than in corresponding period of 1955. But at the end of nine months it was 8 per cent higher.' ' Dearborn said the Oclober im provement had not. eliminated the possibility that the 1956 total would top the record of 39,696 killed In 1941. But he added: "We are almost certain now that the toll will be well under 41,000. A couple of months ago it looked as if it might reach 42,000." The council noted that the October decrease was spread out through all regions of the country. Condemnation Suit Filed on Stunibo Strip ROSEBURG Wl The Oregon Highway Commission finally went to court in an attempt to settle its long battle over a 1614-foot section of the Pacific Highway owned by the Stumbo family. A representative of the commis sion filed a condemnation suit in Douglas County Wednesday after noon. The slate forgot to buy the Stumbo property some 10 years ago when a new section of the highway was built but didn't find out about it until this year, when the Stumbos suddenly put a bar ricade across it. Negotiations went slowly and a few days ago the Stumbos started selling to the public tiny, four square inch tracts of the highway. The condemnation action at Hosoburg came only a few hours after the commission's chief coun sel, Robert L. May, said at Salem that proceedings had to be started quickly or the state might have to take action against hundreds ot highway property owners. t Named as defendants along with the Stumbos are two persons who had quit-claim deeds to four square inch pieces of highway property, Russcl E. Heyscll and J. B. Moore. While the. suit specifically named only two of them, the Douglas County recorder said there actually had been six filed before the condemnation action was taken. The suit also names as defendants any unknown per sons claiming right to the property. In the suit, the state asks for a Jury trial to fix the sum to be paid the Stumbos, Ice Runways Melting Fast AUCKLAND, New Zealand v U.S. airmen flying missions from McMurdo Sound in Antarctica are racing to complete their opera tions before their ice runway melts away.
