Interviewed during a broadcast o(
a Ford Motor Company program, he
was asked whether preparedness

partisan sentiment for remaining in

action could be packed into the next
six days to dispose of all “must”

Atlanta—A series of multi.fatality
accidents in May has brought Geor- |
gia's acccident death rate perilous- !
ly near the toll of last year, Com- !
missioner of Public Safety Lon Sul- |
livan Monday warned.
He asid Department of Public
Safety records show six persons were 1
killed in one accident last month,
three in another and in four others a I
total of eight persons was killed. In !
all, 60 deaths have been recoided foi
May, 10 more than fer the corres
ponding- month last year.
The commif-sionei appealed to all
drivers to use “extieme caution so
that our rate this month will not
show another increase.” So far this
year, he said 16 fewer fatalities have
been recorded than m the same per
iod of 1939.
Maj. Sullivan also warned that the
deadliest months still are ahead. He
said that last July 70 persons met
deaths on the streets or highways,
the second and last time in 1939
when a monthly increase was re-
corded over the same month of the
previous year.
“Last year Georgia made an out
standing record in reducing its fa
tality rate,” Sullivan declared. “We
must not relax one minute in this
crusade to save human life. But if
each of us will observe all of the
common sense rules of driving
walking all of the time we can save
at least 50 more lives this year.”
Speeding and drinking Irivers, he
said, continufi to cause most of the
fatal mishaps. .As a result, troopers
