Traffic Toll
For Holiday
Starts Risinq
BY the Associated Press

The pace of traffic deaths
across the country quickened
today as millions Of motorists
rolled onto highways in the
first full day Of the three day
Memorial holiday week end.
The latest fiures placed the
death toll at SIS.
Mild temperatures over most
of the country and forecasts
for clearing weather over some
rain-hit sections brought the
greatest outpouring of pleasure
bound motorists thus far this
year.
The National Safety Council
estimated that nearly all the
73 million automobiles in the
United States will be in use
sometime during the holiday
period from 6 pm. Friday
through midnight Monday. In
all, they will travel some 7
billion miles.
Because Of this heavy VOL
ume the council said possibly
as many as 375 persons would
die in traffic accidents. Ac-
cording to council estimates,
this would be 65 more than the
toll for a non-holiday week end
covering the same 78-hour per-
iod.
This is the first three-day
Memorial Holiday since 1858.
On that week end a record
371 persons were killed in auto
accidents.

SEAT0 Sees
Southeast Asia
As Red TARGET
By the Associated Press

Admiral Harry D. Felt said
today SEATO's military ad-
visers consider Southeast Asia
a prime target for Communist
China and the little kingdom
of Laos at the first point of
entry.
Admiral Felt, commander in
chief of United States forces
in the Pacific, told a news con-
ference, however, the situation
has worsened in South Wet
Nam and there is now more
Subversive activity there than
in Laos itself.
At the same time the SEATO
military advisers, in a mildly
worded communiqrIe. said "ex-
listing defensive plans were re-
viewed and updated in the
light of the current situation"
during a four-day meeting just
ended.
Consideration was given to
dangers arising from Commu-
mist Insurgency in the treaty
area" the communique said.
Eight Nations Pledged
The Southeast Asia Treaty
Organization pledges eight Ia
tions-the United States, Brit
ain, France. Australia, New
Zealand, the Philippines, PAX
iStan and Thailand-to resist
Communist aggression and sub
version. The treaty area in
.cludes Wet Nam. Laos and
Cambodia.
Admiral Felt, who served as
chairman of the military group
during the meeting here, said
there is potential trouble brew
ing all of the time-particular-
ly with Communist China main
tanning a considerable force Of
troops and aircraft and build
ing naval strength in the area
opposite Taiwan.
He described the Chinese Ma
tionalist islands of Quemoy and
MatSu off the Communist
mainland as tremendously i'm
portant from the psychological
point of view"
What Loss Would Mean
IF Red China took Quemoy
and Matsu it would mean the
loss of a considerable force of
Chinese Nationalist troops.
probably mean the Nationalist
air force fould have taken a
drubbing and the Nationalist
navy a defeat" Admiral Felt
said.
Admiral Felt estimated that
the Soviet Union has 100 sub
marines in the Pacific, none of
them yet known to be nuclear
powered and only rumored to
have the capabilty Of firing
missiles.
He said the Soviet subma-
rines are snorkel-equipped and
are venturing farther to sea.
Communist China has about
20 submarines, he said, but
seems to be using them for
coastal defense. There is no
knowledge of any Chinese sub
marines with missile capabili-
ties, he added.
