Transportation Secretary Alan S Boyd cites 1967 estimates of more than 14000 rail highway grade crossing accidents with over 15000 injuries and about 1800 deaths. He orders FHA and FRA to test protection systems at about 200 crossings and urges railroad rehabilitation of sites while stressing driver responsibility and cooperation between railroads and highway officials to cut the toll.

Drunken Driving Across States Alarms National Safety Council
The National Safety Council reports half of fatally injured drivers in recent crashes were intoxicated, with Illinois Wisconsin and California studies informing the trend. Wisconsin shows two thirds and California nearly three fifths of fatally injured drivers had been drinking, while other states show 45 59 percent. The NSC calls this an appalling situation and urges stronger driver education and implied consent laws to allow testing. The piece also covers small town pride amid depopulation fears and economic strains on farmers in agricultural America.
