They have sought -to put President Truman on political trial. He, however, has taken no' pub- lie part in the campaign, thereby departing from FDR's free-swing ing campaign practices. Shortages of food and materials, aggravated by a mid -campaign scarcity of meat, forced the ad-, ministration to abandon Its hold- the-line price control policies.

The five C-tober deaths ran the 1946 fatalities for 10 months to 26, already two greater than the 24 total for all of 1945, said Fred Buell, deputy county coroner. At least one person has been killed on the highway in every month of 1946.

This is the record: January 4 June 1 February 8 July 1 March 2 August April 4 September 1 May October Four persons died as the result of accidents outside Eugene. The one city fatality came when a motorcyclist crashed into an automobile. A year ago the city had no traffic fatalities in October and the county only three. During October at least 21 persons met serious injuries in smash-ups of their vehicles on the streets of Eugene and the highways of Lane County. Bister Population Blamed Increases in accidents and fatalities were blamed upon the rising population of Lane, county by Sgt.

Verne Hill of the state police. "During the war our accidents fell the sergeant said. "During the summer we had a lot of awldmts -because of tourists. More drivers always make more accidents." Drivers are not becoming more careless, nor' are they drinking more, Sgt. Hill pointed out.

It's just that there are more of them. The city of Eugene showed a decided increase -in- accidents reported during October, with the total of 277 almoBt double that of October, 1945, when -only 144 were recorded.

Lack of Lighting OnlfPartoflt County Survey Shows Grievous Conditions By Koch Bradshaw Early in the morning and late in the afternoon children in five Lane County schools must strain their eyes to read their lessons, because there is insufficient natural light and not' even a -kerosene lamp available. As a result, some of the youngsters are having to wear glasses.

Four other schools have to de pend upon -Aladdin lamps. One school uses kerosene lamps and another a gas lantern.

The Central Lane' Planning Commission, however, has started.

a move to eliminate the names of streets which are du- plications of others and to set up a uniform street numbering system. The initial step was taken Saturday when Howard Buford, planning consultant, prepared letters to residents of several outlying districts.
