ROAD ACCIDENTS IN BRITAIN
■ (Received October 19, 6.30 p.m.) LONDON, October 18. Captain D. E. Wallace (Conservative) in the House of Commons, said that deaths by road accidents in Britain last month numbered 1130, as compared with 554 in September of last year. The Government viewed the increase with deep concern. Experiments had been made with a view to mitigating the difficulties resulting from the lack of street lighting, but so far it had been found impossible to devise means of relaxing the restrictions and at the same time conceal objectives from aircraft.
