In telegrams to each of the state governors, the council warned "a traffic accident em ergency exists in the United States." It urged all-out action to end the "critical" situation and stop rising highway deaths. 12 Per C9nt Increase The March dead numbered 2,960 12 per cent more than in March, 1955, the council said. It broke the March, 1937, record of 2,866 and was the 13th con secutive month that traffic deaths have mounted. As if to emphasize the coun cil's warning, week end news was studded with reports of multi-fatelity auto crashes. Near Eland, Wis., a head-on collision wiped out seven lives. Four of the victims were chil dren. The La Crosse, Wis., record of 857 days without a traffic fatal ity ended in another head-on smashup. Two little boys were killed.

The meetings will be held next month in At lantic City, N.J., Miami, Chica go, and San Francisco. The council warned that un less deaths are to top the 38,300 level of 1955, .the lives of 500 persons a month below the last year's figures must be saved. A council spokesman said a con tinuation of the 1956 trend will mean the 1941 all-time record of 39,969 deaths will be sur passed. .' HOTEL 5:30 to 9 .00 P. M.
