State Opens Road Safety Campaign in Oklahoma City
Governor Murray opened a statewide road safety campaign in Oklahoma City with about 400 attendees. A safety week is planned for August 26 to September 1, urging schools, law enforcement, and media involvement. Officials warned Oklahoma could reach 563 traffic deaths in 1951 without improvements, and called for stricter prosecutions, quicker handling of cases, better publicity, and coordinated enforcement. Newsrooms and police were urged to publicize safety efforts year round and step up enforcement, while officials stressed decisive action over fault finding.

Stop Worrying About U S Food Supply Says Agriculture Dept
The Agriculture Department urges calm over fears of a food shortage. It says population growth is rapid but much expansion can come from using existing land better, with 40 to 50 percent more wheat and other crops possible through scientific farming and soil conservation. Livestock feed and meat output could rise 60 to 70 percent via better pastures and hay, while potatoes and vegetables could grow 20 to 30 percent on current acreage.
