1000 Persons May Die h Observing July 4th
Huge Holiday Casualty List Expected Unless Public Exercises Caution-Safety Council Directing Nationwide Safety
 Campaign.
Campaign.

Almost one thousand Americans linen, women an dchildren-will start out to celebrate the Fourth of July this year, and they won't come back.
 They won't come back, the Na- tional Safety Council said today, because they will die in accidents. Some will be killed in traffic. Others will be drowned. still others will be burned to death, or killed in falls. Some will die of over-exertion or over- exposure to sum.
 This huge holiday accident toll the Council pointed out, is not inevitable. It can be reduced to the extent that the people O. America want 1t reduced. All that is necessary to reduce it, the Council said, Is extra care, com- mon sense and courtesy.
 In an united effort to prevent this major catastrophe on the home front, l30 national organiza- tions have joined with the Coun- Gil in nationwide campaign to enlist every citizen of the United States in a mass attack on &C., cidents over the Fourth of July period.
 The Council emphasized that the anticipated holiday death toll of almost 1000 is not a prediction, but is based on the average ac- cident fatality totals for July days in previous years that correspond to this years holiday period from noon Saturday, July l, tn this years holiday period from non Saturday, July 1. through Tuesday, the fourth.
 Traffic alone may be counted on to take a toll of almost 300 lives in that period. the Council said, unless drivers and pedestrians take special care to avoid ac- cidents.
 Such reckless squandering of, manpower, material and time would be tragic under any cir cumstances," said Col. John Still well, president of the Council. But in view of D-Day, it amounts to unintentional but actual sabo- tage of our invasion plans"
 Public officials, civic organiza' tions, industry and safety leaders are participating in the campaign.
 But success or failure of the drive rests finally with the pri- vate citizen" said Colonel Still well. "If each of us will do his part, we can cut the holiday toll in half this year.
 This Fourth of July finds our American boys closing in on every battlefront for a knockout blow against the Axis--a blow aimed at preserve American indepdence.
 This independence is precious to everything he can to help our fighting men! Certainly, he does not want to do anything to hurt them.
 But accidents on the home front do hurt our loved ones on the bat tlefront, for they deprive them of weapons and material needed to speed victory and reduced the battle toll.
 Let's dedicate this Fourth of July ho helping our fighting men

|BALANDA MAY
 BE APPOINTED
Name Submitted for Post of OPA Legal Advisor
 in Waterbury

Attorney Clarence V. Balanda ap- peared slated today for the post Q. attorney in the local OPA rent Jf- flee, with the appointment expected to be announced as soon as shs question of appropriations is cleared He will succeed Attorney Sidney Cassel, who will resign July 1 to take a private post.
 Attorney Balanda, who is an &C., tive member of the Waterbury Bar association and one of the more prominent of the younger lawyers of the city, has been a practicing attorney in this city for several years. His name has been men, tioned widely as the possible ap- pointee to the OPA legal post, and reports today indicated he is def initely scheduled for the appoint ment.
 The announcement of the selec- tion, which has been submitted to the regional office in Boston for ap- proval, has been held off because of the uncertainty of the financial status of the local office, it has been indicated. Since the present appro- priations terminate June 30 and the new budget will not be forwarded until July 1, the office is believed to be holding back on the appointment until it determines whether or not provision is made for the job.
 The alternative to having a local lawyer serve in legal capacity for the Waterbury rent office would be to secure services of an attorney from the state office. It has been indicated state OPA officials tre hopeful the latter procedure will not be necessary, and that adequate funds will be available for continua- tion of the local post.
