Highway Toll Runs Behind Past Years

The nation's highway death toll appeared headed for a new record today, the lowest
number of traffic fatalities ever recorded on a three-day New Year's weekend. The National Safety Council, which had predicted 330 deaths, said 241 persons have
died in automobile mishaps. But the period doesn't end until midnight tonight. Millions will still be on the road. The lowest previous death toll was 269 in the three-day holiday of 1949-50, and the The Safety Council reported that 56 persons died in fires throughout the nation during the New Year's weekend, and
41 perished in miscellaneous accidents.

For many, however, the road to that long-sought end appeared about as cloudy as the eves of millions who celebrated the birth of 1962 with mirth and drink. For Westerners, the major hope was that Soviet Premier Khrushchev meant it when he pledged that his country would “do everything possible to avoid the threat of war in 1962."
