Considerable backlogs of steel

too, there is a substantial contin-

Accident Death Toll
OF $50 Predicted for
New Year Week End
By the Associated Press

The Nation celebrated the six
major holidays in 1949 with a lot
of whoopla and gaiety but there
was staggering toll of violent
accidental deathS-2,717.
And, the National Safety Coun-
Gil predicts, 1850 will start with
800 Americans being killed in traf-
flc accidents over the New Years
week end. It did not estimate the
number of deaths in other acct
dents.
Deaths on the highways, in the
air, fires, drownings and a variety
of other causes reached new rec
ords over some of the holiday
periods this year. In most OF
them, the traffic toll exceeded the
figure estimated by the council.
1,7O5 Die in TraGic.
The 1949 holiday violent deaths
lowed: 1,705 in traffic mishaps;
391 drowned; 66 killed in fires and
SIS killed in accidents Of miscel'
laneous causes-including falls
airplane crashes, shootings, as
phyxiations, etc.
Here is a breakdown for the
holidays:
New Years 1.-TWO days)-309, in
GLIDING 207 traffic; Memorial Day
(three days., Alb. including 253
traffic, 81 drownings; Fourth OF
July (three days., TIL, including
315 traffic, 256 drownings; Labor
| Day (three days., SIS, including
1874 traffic; Thanksgiving Zone
day., ITO. including 123 trafhc;
Christmas (three days., $50. in
GLIDING Alb traffic.
After last week ends Christmas
holiday, when $50 persons lost
their lives in accidents, Council
President Ned H. Dearborn said:
1.-THE actual death toll for our
three-day celebration was more
than that for the Texas City dis
aster of two years ago which hor-
rified the Nation.
Our holidays have become a
series Of Texas Cities In a week
New Years. we may expect an
other one unless the people have
sickened of making horror days
out of their holidays"
Blizzard Would Save Lives.
Only a blizzard that "sews the
country up tight" can prevent a
death toll of at least $50 over the
New Years holiday, Mr.. Dearborn
said.
But let's depend on ourselves
and not the weatherman," he
added.
The councils estimated 800 traf-
fic fatalities for this week ends
New Years celebration is for the
period from 6 pm. tomorrow to
midnight Monday. The council
warned against drinking and driv-
ing and to double your caution If
the weather is bad"
The Christmas week end toll OF
Alb traffic fatalities was % under
the councils estimate. But the
auto death rate for the period was
approximately rs per cent higher
than the average number of
deaths for an equally long period
based on statistics for the first
10 months of 1949. The average
number of traffic deaths for q
similar period this year-78 hours
was 269.
The Fourth of July holiday took
the heaviest toll this year, rec
ord Of TIL lives. The total was
close to an all-time record toll for
any holiday, the 761 accidental
deaths recorded in four days in
Christmas week, 1916.
