In the period that began at 6 p. m.

(local time) New Year's Eve, accidents and other forms of violent death incident to the holiday killed 79 persons. Traffic accidents, on the ground and in the air, resulted in 58 fatalities. Other causes included fires and falls and one merrymaker was shot. Five persons perished when an air freighter crashed near Charleston, S. C.

The National Safety Council had estimated in advance that 130 persons would be killed in traffic accidents on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. The ultimate total, including persons injured during that period but who die later, was expected to be much higher. Two factors apparently held the toll in check. One was the bad weather slippery roads, cold, snow, newspaper adding that Arctic regions would play a vital role In any future conflict.

His body had taken three full charges from a standard police riot gun and a fourth blast had grazed him. The Coroner's report said the shots entered his back left side and chest.
