Declaring that ordinary civilian
traffic problems increase tremen-
dously in .a country at war, Prof.
Roger L. Morrison of the transporta-
tion engineering department yester-
day revealed that more Londoners4
have been killed and injured by1
blackout traffic accidents than byf
bombing.
Professor Morrison, who recently7
opened a defense traffic control1
course in Flint, said that by a study
of blackout problems in England and
careful planning, similar tragedies
can be prevented in America.
Education of the public as to traf-
fic restrictions and special blackout
- problems is the most worthwhile
preparation we can make, he stated.
Fully as important but not so spec-
tacular, Professor Morrison added,
are the traffic problems connected
with congested areas around defense
factories, and troop movements. He
cited as an example the Ford bomber
plant at Ypsilanti.1
"Congestion around the plant hasa
caused several serious accidents al-
ready," he said, "and traffic engi-1
neers are now at work on a project
designed to clear the area."
Professor Morrison also disclosed1
that his traffic control course will
deal not only with defense problems
but also with general traffic condi-
tions. "It is all too easy," he said,
"to let an emergency situation blind
us to the often equally important
problems which are always with us."
In order to partly counteract this
difficulty, Professor Morrison has'
translated last year's traffic acci-
dent quota into the terms of the day.
"Taking only the young men of mili-
tary age, 18-44," he said, "enough
were killed and injured last year to
make up 48 armed divisions."
Ann Arbor Inventor

LANSING, Jan. 27.-(P)-A claim

Abbott of Ann Arbor in a suit against

used in Michigan for manufacture

State Court of Claims.
The court disallowed part of Ab-
bott's original petition, denying his
right to sue for damages beyond the
past three years which is the statute

of limitations in the court of claims.
The court permitted Abbott to
amend his petition to specify in de-
tail persons with whom he claims

LANSING, Jan. 27.-(,)-Retread-

the following two weeks will be re-
quired to set up rationing procedures,
