ROAD TRAGEDIES Bangkok and Swalow
New York.
Approximately 40,000 persons will be killed in motor accidents within the next year in the Uni- ted States, Dr. Miller McClin- tock, director of the Bureau for Traffic Research at Harvard University, stated in an address at the recent Safety Foundation seminar at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.
Indicating the necessity for more caution on the part of motorists and better traffic regulations, Dr. Mc- Clintock further estimated that 125,- 1000 persons will be permanently dis- abled and about a million and a half will suffer injuries.
"The actual cost of highway acri- dents in this country, including death, Injury and property damage," he sald, "Ins been estimated at from one and a half to two billion dollars ja year."
Dr. McClintock, however, did not attribute this alarming mortality to any outstanding defect in the con- struction of cars. "The fact is that to-day there is not a single car in current production that is not de- signed for safe and continuous speed of sixty miles an hour,"
