Safety Council Warns Of Weekend Deaths
Chicago—(U.P.)—The National Safety council warned today that "death rides with the Sunday driver."
death Hues with the Duluth
The council issued its warning®
The council issued its warning after the latest traffic accident report showed the heavy influence of weekend driving on the death totals.
The September traffic death toh this year was 3,400—a drop of 5 per cent from September of last year. The council pointed out, however, that September this year had only four weekends compared to five last year.
The council said that more than 300 persons are killed in traffic accidents on a normal summer week-end, hence it does not consider the drop during the past September as significant improvement.
The traffic death toll for the first nine months of this year is 27,220 an increase of 2 per cent over last year.
The council pointed out, however, that the 1952 mileage death rate of 7.0 deaths per 100 million miles was slightly better than the rate at the same time last year.
The council said that of 46 states reporting in September, 28 had fewer deaths and two reported no change. At the end of nine months, 20 of the 46 states still had fewer deaths than in 1951 and one reported no change.
Of the 474 reporting cities, 313 had no motor vehicle deaths in September. The three largest were Kansas City, Mo., (456,600); Rochester, N.Y., (332,500), and St. Paul, Minn., (311,-300).
For the nine month period, 87 cities still had no-death records. The three largest were Little Rock, Ark. (102,200); Evanston, Ill. (73,000), and Bay City, Mich., (52,500).

Helena, Mont.—(U.P).—One of the nation's hottest senatorial campaigns features this year's election in Montana.
Montana General Elections To Be Supreme Party Test
The conterial battle is between ❤️
The senatorial batee is Dr. incumbent Republican Zales M. Ecton, a self-styled "on the oil farmer" from Manhattan, Mont., and his Democratic opponent, Rep. Mike Mansfield, a former history professor at Montana State University in Missoula.
Sen. Ecton is seeking his second term in the senate. He went there in 1946 after beating Leif Erickson of Helena, who had defeated Sen. Burton K. Wheeler in the 1946 Democratic primary.
Rep. Mansfield coasted to five easy victories as one of Montana's representatives in Congress. But he was running in the state's first congressional district which lies in traditionally Democratic western Montana.
He may find it rougher sailing in the senatorial battle where voters in eastern Montana will have to be considered. That section of the state usually sends Republican representatives to Congress.
Sen. Ecton is the first Montana senator of either party in 40 years to be named to the powerful Senate Appropriations committee.
Sen. Eaton is the only Republican ever sent to the United States Senate by direct vote of the people of Montana. His predecessors were named by the state legislature under the old system of choosing senators.
Rep. Mansfield has been a member of the House Foreign Affairs committee for almost 10 years. In 1949 he turned down a chance to become Assistant Secretary of State for public affairs.
Fighting for Rep. Mansfield's old seat in the house are Democrat Lee Metcalf, an assistant justice of Montana's Supreme Court, and Wellington D. Rankin, Helena attorney and GOP national committeeman from Montana.
Judge Metcalf was elected to the state legislature in 1936. He received an appointment as assistant attorney general after his legislative tour and served in the army in World War II. He was elected supreme
