The previous Labor Day record was 383 traffic deaths, set in 1949. Last year's highway toll was 360. “This is a high price to pay for a little holiday fun,” Dearborn said, “even in these times.” “The irony of this thing is that the vast majority of the 40,000,000 motorists on the road drove care fully, and the high toll was due in, a large part to the behavior of 0 relatively few people who drove like crazy fools.” Several of the highway crashes coat the lives of whole families. A total of 26 persons were killed in four crashes alone. SEVEN ARE KILLED . Seven members of an Aitken, Minn., family died when their auto skidded off a highway and crashed into a water-filled ditch.

Far to the east, new hurricane “Easy” churned westward stgoas Atlantic shipping lanes apparently bound for the Caribbean. The Miami Weather Bureau said Hurricane-force winds would strike Jamaica about 11 a. m. (EBT). “Dog’s” center, located about 230 mile* southeast of Kingston, Ja maica, at 5 a. m.

But this fifth tropical weather giant of the season was still almost 2,00 miles from the U. S. mainland. Weathermen sent a U. S. Air Force hurricane hunter plane from Raney Field, Puerto Rico, today to scout the new storm. Hurricane "Charlie,” which smashed across Jamica last month, passed to the south of the present course of "Dog.” The cof fee and- tobacco-growing land of the Dominican Republic, untouched by the earlier , storm, was alerted for galei and possibly stronger winds. •’ ••*. “harlie” ploughed on agibss the Caribbean Sea after striking Jama ica Aug. 17, and took 265 lives a few days later in Mexico.

The code would be designed to conserve the nation’s critical sup plies of building materials. In one step yesterday the government drastically cut back requests of in dustrial firms for structural steel for new construction in the final quarter of the year. Defense Production Administra tor Manly Fleischmann said the “crucial shortage of steel is so great" that all other demands ex cept the military "had to be scaled down." STANDARDIZATION SOUGHT The proposed building code, which would apply principally to home construction, would be aimed at standardizing widely varying building codes set up by local communities. The local codes, which very often prescribe extremely rigid building specifications, have result ed in “wasteful” use of building materials in a time of national emergency, one official said. He said that many of the building specifications laid down in local codes could not be Justified in terms of necessary safety in homo construction. i A uniform building code has long been recommended by various architectural and construction groups. The official said the feder al government could impose such a code now as an emergency meas ure to control the amount of such critically short materials as cop per and steel which are going into home construction.

Core, 40, of Dunn was arrested over the week end of ficers from the Cumberland County Korea, but we will not give in to aggression,” he said in launching the nation’s largest defense bond drive last night.
