District Avoids
Traffic Deaths
Over Holiday
National Toll Is 403:
9 Die in Maryland
And 5 in Virginia

The District came through the
holiday week end without a sin
gle traffic death reported.
Nationally. more than 500 per-
sons died in accidents. This toll,
however, fell far short of the rec
ord of 658 violent deaths a year
ago. This years figure was 524.
Highway accidents took 403
lives. Fifty-two persons drowned
ana 50 died in miscellaneous ac-
cidents.

low the 480 deaths estimated for
the three-day holiday by the Ma

dent, said. however, that it was "a
shocking thing to think that the
hgure could rise to over 400 on a
day dedicated to rest and re-
laxation."
He added that "the people of
America should wake up to this
1nexcuSable slaughter"
The Maryland holiday death
