Michigan spent about 30000 to call out 668 National Guardsmen for Labor Day traffic patrols and saved 10 to 15 lives. Governor Williams declared a State of traffic emergency and praised guardsmen for reducing trunkline deaths to five, versus 21 in 1953 and 35 on the Fourth of July. State Police Commissioner Childs noted improved travel flow due to point control and combined patrols.

In a discussion about wartime logistics, Gustav Metzman of the American Railway Car Institute compares German highway and rail strategy to U.S. needs.
