231 Traffic Deaths Toll For Holidays By The Associated PrMi The nation today counted up 181 deatln in traffic accidents during the four-day Independ ence celebration, but this toll was far less than had been ex pected and even considerably below that for an ordinary four day weekend period. The national safety council says 400 persons normally die in traffic mishaps during an ordi nary four days which included a Saturday and Sunday. Weighing this average to allow for extra holiday traffic, the council had estimated 450 would lose their lives in road accidents from 6 p. m. (local time) last Wednesday to 12:01 a. m. today. However, several hours after this period had ended reports from throughout the country showed a traffic toll of but 231. . The council had predicted 1300 persons would die violently but only 512 violent deaths were re ported, including the traffic fatal ities, 163 drownings and 118 deaths from miscellaneous vio lent causes. New York had more than any other state a total of 37, with 17 of the fatalities the result of traffic accidents. Road accidents killed 16 in Ohio and 20 in Texas. Michigan had 20 drownings, Cali fornia 10. Delaware and Ver mont had no violent deaths.
