TEXAS HIGIFIVAY DEAT INCREASE Texas is piling increase upon increase in traffic deaths, Colonel Homer Garrison, Jr., State Police Director, said recently. Following upon an eleven per cent increase in fatalities last year, January, 1941, established a record peak of 161 deaths for that month, Colonel Garrison said, with a thirtytwo per cent increase in highway fatalities. Cities decreased deaths by eight for a 16.7 per cent improvement, and county roads saw two less persons die for a decrease of 11.8 per cent from January a year ago. Increase were recorded in cities of less than 2,500 population, we, on death for a 9.1 per cent increase, and on highways,. up twentythree deaths for a gain of 32.4 per cent. The over-all increase for the entire state was fourteen deaths or 9.5 per cent. "The increase in highway fatalities," Colonel Garrison said, "we attribute to a general tendency toward faster, less cautious driving - a direct result of national unrest - and to congestion adjacent to areas of defense construction. "There were eighteen deaths in January directly connected with defense activities. The victims were nine soldiers, one sailor, and eight civilians associated with defense projects. Ii it had not been for these deaths, fifteen of which occured on highways, the state would have shown a slight decrease in fatalities. "The Highway Patrol is concentrating its efforts on defense areas and making surveys to determine the most advantageous procedure. We are hoping for the best."
