During this period, the De-
partment will tabulate all traf-
fic deaths in the State and will
issue daily bulletins at 10:00
A.M., 3:00 P.M. and 8:30 P.M.
In an all-out effort to insure
driver compliance with traffic
regulations and to hold traf-
fic crashes to a minimum, the
DPS has made plans to augment
its regular Highway Patrol
force with some 150 uniformed
officers from its other services
during this three-day period.
“But the solution to the traf-

TDPS HEAD ESTIMATES 30 PEOPLE
WILL BE KILLED ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND
Colonel Homer Garrison Jr., Director of the Texas
Department of Public Safety, today announced the of-
ficial estimate that 30 persons will be killed in some
3,000 traffic crashes during the upcoming 72-hour Labor
Day weekend.
Commenting on Labor Day travel, Garrison said:
“Many Texas families will take advantage of this
last long summer weekend to take trips prior to the
opening of school. As a result, traffic will be heavy
and the possibilities of traffic crashes will increase.
“Because this holiday is so much
more people will be occupying cars,
accident might result in several casualties,
been evidenced several times on
Texas highways in recent weeks.
During one seven-day period in
August, three crashes claimed
the lives of 20 persons.”
Garrison noted that during
the past eight weeks traffic
deaths have increased from four
per cent below to two per cent
above the toll for the corres-
ponding period of last year.
“But the most alarming
thing is that the number of fa-
tal traffic accidents is now
running four per cent above
last year’s figure” he said.
“Experience has shown that
nearly every fatal accident a
violation of traffic law has been
a major causative factor.”
In an effort to focus public
attention on the hazards of
holiday travel and to compile
additional data which will be
helpful in improving the State’s
traffic management program,
the Department of Public Safe-
ty will conduct “Operation
Motorcide” from 12:01 A. M.
Saturday, September 1 through
11:59 P. M. Monday, Septem-
ber 3.
Mrs. Alma Hicks, who has
