Nation's Traffic Toll Climbs To 14,720 for Year By UNITED PRESS The nation's traffic toll climb ed at headlong pace toward a new record today, spurred up ward by a flurry of multiple death accidents. Safety experts, studying rec ord-breaking figures for the first five months, predicted the pos sibility that motorists would set a new high In traffic fatalities this year.

Year's Total 14.720 6 This pushed the year's total to 14,720, 9 per cent above the five-month figure In 1955. A safety council spokesman said the climbing death rate may also mean the July Fourth holi day will produce a tragically heavy toll. He said about 80 persons could expect to die on a Wednesday during almost any Cher week. Memorial Day, however, brought 56 per cent more deaths than on a normal Wednesday, he said. Accidents In which several persons died together accounted for a considerable number of the national toll. Mishaps such as the April 6 collision of a truck and a farm tractor near Normal, 111., which killed eight - farmers, sent the national toll rocketing upward.

During the first 'four mouths, council spokesmen said mileage Increased 8 per cent, but the traffic toll went up 10 per cent.
