Warren County sheriff Roy Wallace ordered tighter patrols on the dangerous section of old U S 25 between Manchester and Coles roads south of Franklin after four fatalities since April. He blamed excessive speed and urged residents to report speeding while noting 24 traffic fatalities in Warren County so far in 1972, up from 17 in all of 1971. His VASCAR unit will spend more time in the area as investigations totaled 62 auto accidents in September, more than the monthly average.
