Christmas fatalities rise as train strikes car near Harvey
The Christmas toll climbs to at least 173 after seven people die when an automobile is hit by a train at a crossing near Harvey, a Chicago suburb. The victims were believed to be workers from the Illinois emergency relief station at Chicago Heights. Washington reports a Mississippi Valley committee urges federal control of America’s electricity system, proposing a nationwide pool, a $1 billion 20-year program, and dams for power and navigation. Public works data show $47 million for municipal plants and $230 million for federal power works, with ongoing assistance for legal municipal projects. The committee’s plan stresses government control of transmission, not ownership, and ties hydro developments into a national system.
