The National Safety Council had forecast that between 800 and 900 American would be killed in roadway accidents during the 102-hour period that extended from 6 p.m. local time Friday through midnight Tuesday. The death toll over last year 78-hour Fourth of July period was 635.

A United Press International count at 6 p.m. EDT showed 630 persons had been killed in traffic accidents. A breakdown of accidental deaths: Traffic 0 Drowning 144 Plane 13 Other 1 Total 48 California alone accounted for 66 traffic deaths.

I personally brought these contracts up from Harrisburg over the weekend, and they over have been signed and are al ready being implemented.

These are the first state grants made to Luzerne County since stored most of $150 million in budget cuts that were voted through the week before by a House coalition of upstate Democrats and Republicans. The' legislatures failure 'to enact a budget has already delayed welfare payments, made creditors of those doing business with the Commonwealth, and forced most state employes to work for free. Everyone will be paid what hes owed when a budget is passed by the legislature and signed by Gov. Shapp. in the meantime, the state cannot legally draw any money from the Treasury.

Between 30,000 and 40,000 welfare checks go out on an average day to the blind, disabled, elderly and' poor. But none have gone out yet this week. Relief recipients in Philadelphia, Allegheny, Cambria, Fayette, Erie, Lackawanna, Bedford, Butler, Centre, and Greene Counties have been affected so far, with delays impending for more than 20 additional counties if the budget fails to passdthis week. Welfare Secretary Helene Wohlgemuth said that food stamp programs will continue unimpeded because no state moneys are involved. State flood relief efforts are being funded with emergency money made available last week through a proclamation! signed by the governor.

(Please flood struck, which means that the money is actually being spent right now," Wilcox said. The city redevelopment group has been granted $4 million, Wilcox said, and the county minion However bine operations, so the two grants will in effect be consolidated into a single effort." Wilcox termed thi cooperative agreement "a novel effort by local government agencies to help confront the areas flood disaster." Part of the money, a total of $2 million (or $1 million each), may be used to contract with the Corps of Army Engineers for the development of temporary housing sites, and the remaining $5 million will be used by the two authorities in a variety of ways to promptly face the urban development problems caused by the flood. The improved and leased sites will be made available to the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) which will place mobile homes and other types of housing on them. Wilcox reported that Community Affairs and the joint Redevelopment authorities have identified sites for approximately 3,000 mobile homes on public property and private mobile home parks. Wilcox said that HUD has told him it has 1,750 mobile homes purchased and available in Luzerne County.

The joint Redevelopment authorities, under the direction of Lee Case, signed leases on 400 existing trailer pads at mobile home parks- of which 120 units will be ready for occupancy within a week, and the balance in two weeks, Wilcox said. In addition, the Community Affairs secretary said, utilities are being installed for 50 mobile homes at Frances Slocum State Park, which is being developed into an instance new-town for about 350 flood disaster families. Wilcox praised HUD for doing a superb job in requisitioning mobile homes for the sites being provided by his de partmenL 1 lake (Portage Lake State HcUIri Tlr.
