"Pedestrian deaths throughout the nation in 1949 numbered almost 2,000 fewer than the 11.600 killed in 1946," he saitl. "In* 1947 there were 10,450 pedestrian deaths in the llnited States and in 194S there were 9.850. 'The decrease . ia pedestrian deaths has corresponded with the Increase in efforts, of cities and states to protect' pedestrians. ' In recent years state amts^ity officials -have furthered legisjat and engineering devices to protect pedestrians, build up school safety programs and conducted continuing public information campaigns to alert citizens to pedestrian hazards.
