Hal. ferty, of the Traffic Division, the shoppers, the babies, the children, high school and college students and whole families added up to the largest crowd he had seen on a "Big Friday." One of the magnets drawing the huge throngs was the record-equaling 156-page Thanksgiving Day issue of The Inquirer packed with advertisements to guide the shoppers. The previous Thanksgiving, also with 156 pages, was the largest daily pa per in The Inquirer's history.

LONG WEEKENDS Also aiding the tremendous flow, Inspector Halferty pointed out, was the fact that no schools were open and many businesses had given employes a long Thanksgiving weekend. Whole families even fathers took advantage of this and the pleas antly warm day in the mid-60s to visit the various toylands and get their Christmas shopping under way. The shopping area of Market st. was a sea of people from store fronts to curb lines and augmented traffic police details worked to make openings in the sea to slip right-turning cars safely through.

and from there on "we carried an awful lot of people." But no unusual difficulties were encountered, a spokesman said. Inspector Halferty's detail of downtown traffic police was beefed up from its regular 177-officer complement to 277 starting at 7:30 A. M. and covering intersections between 6th and 23d sts. and Vine and Locust sts.

Many intersections had mul tiple coverage, such as 8th and Market sts. with three officers and 9th and Market and the southeast corner of City Hall and other midcity intersections with two officers.

Specter was unable to state whether Brooks will waive ex tradition in South Africa but said that "it is now iust a mat ter of time before we get him back to this jurisdiction."
