Washington—Violent deaths in North Carolina resulting from ac cidents at highway and railroad grade crossings shot up by 40 per cent, during the first quarter of 1940, the Interstate Commerce Commission reported yesterday. During that period, the I. C. C. stated, 14 persons in North Caro lina lost their lives through such accidents and 29 were seriously injured. Simultaneously, a warning was sounded for the need of increas ed care in approaching grade crossings by the Association of American Railroads, which stated that the 1940 record for such ac cidents to date was the worst in nine years. While the number of dead may not appear to be a high figure for three months duration, it was pointed out that for the same period in 1939 only 10 lives were lost in North Carolina and but 22 injured. Unless accidents were far re duced in the second period, North Carolina's ratio of grade crossing deaths will be about 55 per cent, above the national average. The I. C. C. said the second quarter study for the state is not yet completed, but pointed out that 41 per cent, of the number killed in the Tar Heel state from grade crossing accidents during 1939 had already met death during the first three months of 1940. In 1939, 35 persons were killed' in this manner in North Carolina I and 60 injured. The national state average of: grade crossing deaths for the first j half of 1940 is 18, the commission! said. On the basis of population North Carolina's s i x-months quota was 24. Thus about 60 per cent, of the quota was disposed of in half the time. Although better driving weath-i er in the second quarter usually reduces the number of killed, last year's record in North Carolina was the reverse. The 10 killed and 22 injured in the first 1939 quarter increased in deaths to 13, but fell off in injuries to 10 for the second period.
