| As Traffic Toll Hits 53o
By the Assoeioted Press

Accidents killed 725 Americans
during the four-day Christmas
week end. Included in that num-
ber were 539 who died in traffic
lmishaps.
Neither figure represented a
record. nor did the traffic fatal
tiles for the 102-hour period be-
tween 6 pm. Wednesday and
midnight last night come up to
the National Safety Councils pre-
holiday estimate of 500.
AS heavy as the traffic toll was. it
did not equal the 555 killed dur
ing a similar Christmas week end
i'm 1886. The all-time record for
all accidental deaths during a
four-day Christmas holiday peri
cd, 789, was set last year.
Safety council statistics for the
first II months of 1852 showed
the traffic accident death rate was
102 every "a hours. This. how
ever. included victims who died
later of injuries.
The Associated Press survey for
the Christmas week end includes
only deaths in that period from
accidents occurring within that
