New York, July 29 (U.P.) - Now that the Yankees have rolled right up to the door of the world series, there are only two things left to keep up the suspense in the American League.
 You can see them both any day the team is in town, and they are:

sos MAY DIE IN
 HOLIDAY PERIOD
Insurance Actuaries Have Completed Study of B.
 Day Week-End

Hartford, Conn, July 1. (UP)- Insurance actuaries estimated today that sos persons will lose their lives in automobile accidents throughout the nation over the three-day holi- day weekend.
 During that period. it was fore cast that 19,150 others would be in- jured in highway mishapS.
 Accidents of all kinds during the July { celebration were expected to cause at least 289 deaths. Actuaries figured 160 would die in motor acci- dents, 68 by drowning, six by fire works. two by lightning, four in shooting accidents, IA in railroad i accidents, six in airplane crashes and 29 by other forms of violence.
 Col. Samuel H. Fisher, state de- fense administrator, urged that the utmost precautions be taken to avoid accidents which would cause a slackening of national defense ef- forts.
 Col. Fisher said "thousands o1 vital man hours have been lost through carelessness during the past year, and that ''never before in the history of the country has there been such as urgent need for 6 safs and sane holiday observance"

Member Of Jehovah Witnesses In
 Waterbury Baking At Exams
John Errichetti, l70 Hill Street, May Be Turned
 Over to Government

John Errichetti, 179 Hill street, Waterbury, 8 member of the Je- hova Witnesses, has refused to take the physical examination prescribed for potential draftees, it was learn ed today.
 The local man, adhering to the religious doctrines of his cult, in- sisted that as a member of the sect, he was conscientious ob- jector, and that he warranted classification in class 4D. This category provides for deferment for clergymen. Errichetti contends that all members of the Jehovah Witnesses are ministers of re- ligion".
 While no action has been taken as yet, Board 15A will turn the matter over to the Department of Justice for final disposition, it was stated. The next step, it is be- lieved, will be to summon the ob- iector to hearing before the att torney-general in Hartford. If at the hearing he persists in his be- liefs, he will probably be sent to one of the camps established in various parts of the country for conscientious objectors.
 The Jehovah Witnesses attracted nationwide attnetion recently by the methods they employ in dis seminating the Jehovah gospel. Members of the sect, equipped with portable phonograhps, and records, made house to house canvasSes of various cities, playing recordings of sermons by leaders of the cult. Leader of the group Is Judge Ru- therford, famous for his participa- tion if the canvass.

 Central or north Poland Russian troops fought all night against enemy mobile units, resisting their attempts to break through" to the east in the Minsk and Doohruisk directions. Infantry, artillery and tanks participated.
 South = German advances near Rovno in the Luck area were halt ed and the enemy tank spearhead thrust eastward toward the Ukraine was blasted by Soviet tank attacks.
 Fighting was reported still pro- greSsing in the Lwow sector, follow ing entry of German forces into the town.
