AAA. LAUNCHES
WASHINGTON. D. C, May 1.
Pointing out that motor fatalities In
tghty-flve major cities are running
twenty-eight per cent ahead of last
year, the American Automobile asso
ciation said today that affiliated mo
tor clubs In all sections are launch
ing a vigorous program for strict en
forcement of motor laws.
"The striking Increase In motor
deaths In key cities," said Thos. P.
Henry of Detroit, president of the
AAA, Indicates that & wave of disre
gard for sound driving practices is
sweeping the country, it comes on
the heels of decided Improvement
during all of 1035 In the accident
situation in urban as compared with
rural areas. Strict enforcement of mo
tor laws is absolutely essential to
offset a 1037 toll of fatalities that
will stagger the country. Obviously,
we cannot have adequate enforcement
until our cities have sufficient traf
fic personnel composed of trained
men. Traffic Institutes and training
courses offer the logical means for
such training."
Citing the fact that 2.340 persons
were killed In motor crashes occurring
In eighty-five major cities during the
first sixteen weeks of 1037, at com
pared to 1,687 during the same per
lor In 1036. the national motoring
body said that the Increase of twenty-eight
per cent was largely due
to fatalities In the greater metropol
itan areas. The statement, based on
official figures from the U. B. bureau
of census, said:
"Reports from eighty-five key cities
show that sixty-three had a greater
number of fatalities during the first
sixteen weeks of this year than dur
ing the same period of 1936. The In
crease was more pronounced in the
country's first cities. New York City's
total Jumped from 226 to 302. Chi
cago had 259 against 181. Detroit re
ported 122 this year and 78 last

twenty-seven more than a year ago.
"Improvement was shown in At
lanta, Ga., Miami, 71a.. Seattle. Wash.,
and St. Louis. Mo., while many small
er cities maintained the same level
as last year.
"Available figures indicate that the
Increase In motor deaths on rural
highways la about twenty-five per
cent ahead of last year. Thus, the
accident situation In cities Is again
becoming acute, if not more so, than
that on the rural highways.',
