30 of 36 Traffic Deaths at 1940 Halfway Mark Are Pedestrians
Fatalities Are Five Below
Same Period of 1939;
Safety Education Pushed
Fifty Per Cent of Walkers Killed Found
To Have Violated Protective Rules
All statistics used by The Star concerning both. 1939 and 1940
accidents are based on facts gathered by reporters covering coroner's
inguests to prepare the series "Why Must They Die?"
By J. B. ZATMAN.
Carelessness of the pedestrian continued to play a major part in
District traffic fatalities as Washington piled up 36 traffic deaths during
the first six months of 1940. as compared with 41 recorded during the same
period last year.
Although this represents a 12 per cent decrease, analysis reveals that
almost half the number killed thus far this year would probably be alive
today if they had obeyed rules intended for their safety.
Thirty pedestrians were included in the 36 traffic fatalities from
January through June of this year and of these 20 have been definitely
found by coroner's juries to have been responsible for their own deaths.
Of this latter number. 13 crossed a street not at the crosswalk and three
crossed against a red light. In two of the cases of crossing not on
a crosswalk, however, the driver was deemed sufficiently responsible to
be held for official action.
At this time last year. 32 pedestrians had been killed with 23 of this
number violating an essential safety rule by crossing not on a crosswalk
or crossing against a red light.
Pedestrian Education Progress.
Some progress in educating the pedestrian to cross the street only
on a crosswalk has been made, nevertheless, it may be noted in com
paring the three-month period beginning April, 1940. with the same period
last year. Only five pedestrians were killed while crossing the street
not on a crosswalk during the second quarter of this year, while nine
met their deaths in committing a similar act during the second quarter
of 1939.
The fact that age is an important factor in traffic fatalities is shown
In the large proportion of pedestrians 60 years of age and over involved
in fatal accidents—13 of the 30 pedestrians killed during the first half of
1940. This compares witn 17, or 53 per cent, of the 32 pedestrians killed
during the first half of 1939 who fell in the 60-year-old-or-over class.
Here. too. there is a sizable decrease during the second quarter of
1940 in the number of aged persons involved in fatal accidents as com
pared with the second quarter of last year—four from April through
June of this year and nine in a similar period in 1939.
Of the 13 pedestrians 60 years of age who were killed from January
through June of this year. 6 crossed not on a crosswalk, 4 crossed on a
crosswalk, 2 crossed against a red light and 1 was standing in the gutter
when struck.
Eight of the 17 60-year-old-or-over pedestrians killed during a similar
period in 1939 crossed not on a crosswalk. 5 crossed against a red light
and 4 crossed on a crosswalk.
In an effort to cut to a minimum all jaywalking, the Police De
■ partment has equipped a scout car with special loudspeaking equipment
designed to educate the general public against risking their lives by
stepping from the curb in the middle of the block.
Help of Public Is Requested.
"While we realize that this dangerous habit can not be wiped out
entirely," Maj. Ernest W. Brown, superintendent of police, said yesterday,
"we hope that more and more people will begin to give more thought
to the safety of their actions before they cross the street."
He asked any one knowing of a location where jaywalking is par
ticularly prevalent to notify the Police Department so that this scout car
can place that area on its schedule for a visit soon.
Although no children were killed in traffic accidents during the first
three months of 1940. three were crushed to death by motor vehicles
during the following three months, making a total of three for the six
month period ending June 30. This compares favorably with seven chil
dren killed during a similar period last year.
A downward trend in injuries, both to pedestrians and to motorists,
accompanied the drop in fatalities for the first half of 1940. Only 748
pedestrians were injured during the first half of this year as compared
with 971 hurt during a similar period in 1939, while the motorists injured
during these two periods numbered 822 and 858 for 1940 and 193S. re
spectively.
Of the total number of injuries thus far this year. 345 have been
Children under 14. This represents a drop from 368 in 1939. Traffic
Director William A. Van Duzer attributed the improved record to an
"increased awareness on the part of the public to the accident problem"
and to the "constant hammering by newspapers and radio stations on
aafety matters."
He warned, however, that the danger months are still ahead, point
ing out that child casualties are usually the bulk of summer accidents.
Safety Banners Being Displayed.
In this connection he said that banners cautioning children against
playing in the streets and disobeying traffic regulations had been placed
in public places throughout the city. These banners point to the |act
that “each summer hospitals care for more than 200 students injured
in traffic accidents.”
“We also intend to have about 200 signs made warning the public
against ‘Highway Enemy No. 1—the stop-sign passer.’” Mr. Van Duzer
explained. He said these will lie placed in gasoline stations next week.
The other side of the sign, he said, will have printed on it, “School's out,
watch out—when you walk, when you drive, stay alive.”
Men far surpassed women as traffic fatalities during the first half
of 1940. with 32 of the male sex killed as compared with four of the
opposite sex. Of the 32, 3 were children, 1 was a motorcycle policeman.
1 was a passenger on a truck, 1 w?as a motorist and the rest ^ere
pedestrians. Three of the four women killed in traffic were pedestrians
and the fourth was a passenger in a car.
In the same period last year 26 men. 8 women and 7 children met
their deaths in traffic. Of the 26 men, 2 were motorists. 1 was a
bicyclist, 1 was a truck driver. 1 was operating a motorcycle, 1 was a
passenger in a car, 1 was riding on the fender of a truck and the
remainder were pedestrians. All eight women killed were pedestrians
and one of the seven child fatalities was riding on a bicycle at the time of
the accident.
The one case of negligent homicide pending for Police Court action
at the close of 1939 was nolle prossed by the District attorney's office.

Official Action in Fatalities
A tabulation of legal action taken in 1940 traffic deaths up
to June 30 follows:
Cases in which the death-car driver was absolved of blame by
a coroner's jury_ 25
Cases in which coroner's jury held driver for Police Court action
under Negligent Homicide Act___ 5
(One case was nolle prossed bv the District attorney's office
and four cases are still pending for Police Court action.)
Cases in which a coroner's jury held driver of death car for action
by the grand jury.... 5
(One of these was a hit-and-run driver, whose identity is
unknowm, but who will be held for grand jury action when cap
tured by police. Two cases were ignored by the grand Jury and
two are still pending for grand jury action.)

MUST PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION TAKE THE GUISE OF FORTIFICATIONS?
With 13 of the 30 pedestrian fatalities in traffic
during the first half of 1940 occurring in the middle of
the block, despairing traffic observers may well ask if
some sort of curbstone fortifications would not be in
I order to prevent pedestrians from needlessly sacrificing
i life or limb.
The drawing above by Star Staff Artist Newman Sud
i duth portrays how one Washington intersection might
look if fortified against the menace which pedestrians
seem unable to combat on their own initiative. Fif
teenth street and New York avenue N.W. is portrayed
with concrete walls erected along the sidewalks, leaving
only controlled crosswalks open to pedestrians seeking
to venture across the street.
The idea behind the drawing is fantasy, but not so
unreasonable as might be thought at first consideration.
Washington traffic experts have noted that during heavy
winters, when the snow on the streets is piled high along
the curbs except at crosswalks, that pedestrian traffic
fatalities take a sharp drop. Unable to cross where the
whim strikes them because of walls of snow, pedestrians
inadvertently take the protected course at the inter
section.
Of the more than 12,000 pedestrian casualties in the
entire United States during 1939, records show that 41
per cent of those killed were violating a safety rule by
crossing between intersections or stepping into the street
from between or in front of parked cars. Small wonder
the pedestrian has been called ‘‘the Vanishing American.”

Auto Leaves Road
And Soars 72 Feet
By the Associated Press.
LUSK, Wyo.—A car failed to turn
when the road did. Harry Miller,
highway patrolman, said by actual
measurement the wheels didn't
touch the ground for 72 feet after it
left the road.
The car rolled over several times
and landed right side up 390 feet
away. The driver still could gfin
and had no serious injuries.
Travel Incompleted Road
Auto tourists are using the incom
pleted Inter-American highway be
tween Guatemala and the United
States, shipping their cars by rail
over the sections where the highway
has not been completed.
The ratio of deaths to fatal acci
dents where a passenger car and
truck are involved is nine per cent
greater than when one passenger
car collides with another or with
a fixed object
