Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover has played a hand in an endeavor to reduce the tremendous loss of life f~om automobile accidents in the Uruted States every year. Directed by Hoover, a dozen national organizations have starte~ the for~ tion of a permanent commtttee that wtll study the causes of motor accidents, r~ sponsible for a~ least 17,~ deaths .m 1923 with a v1ew to makmg the c1ty stre~ts and rural highways safe for humanity. Among the organizations co-operating with the Department of Commerce are the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, the National Safety Council, Equitable Life Insurance Company, American Automobile Association, National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, National Bureau of Casualty Surety Underwriters, American Federated Engineering Society, American Railway Association and . the American Mutual Alliance. Under and agreement reached at a preliminary meeting with Secretary Hoover each organization will submit names of persons to represent it on the permanent commission. It was expected that Hoover would act as chairman and the Department of Commerce as a co-ordinating body. Some of the objectives of Hoover's committee are: Elimination of careless drivers. Adequate punishment of reckless and intoxicated operators. Investigation and determination of causes of automobile accidents. A national campaign of education against auto accidents. Included in the tentative plans of the organization is standardization of traffic regulations throughout the United States,a Jready suggested by experts at the Bureau of Standards. Traffic regulations differ widely, and their lack of uniformity may to ~orne measure be responsible for accidents. Following organization of the conv mittee it will immediately proceed to compilation of data alrealy collected by the automobile industry and associations as to the causes of accidents. A thorough study of these causes by experts will form the basis of recommendations as to their elimination, and for an educational campaign. The possibility of asking President Coolidge to summon Governors and other State officials t oask for their cooperation in the drive against automobile deaths has been suggested by members of the committee representing the American Automobile Chamber of Commerce, it was learned.
