The National Safety Council credited the nation's motorists with saving about 100 lives during the three-day holiday period. The filial tabulation of a United Pi ess survey from 6 p.

m. Friday to midnight Monday showed 603 persons killed in accidents. Of these 324 died in traffic, 174 drowned. 10 wei-e killed in plane crashes. 91 in miscellaneous accidents and 4 in fireworks mishaps.

Deaths from injuries received in automobile accidents were expected to boost the final total of highway victims. The fireworks deaths included a boy killed at Augusta. when his homemade flare exploded, a giil killed at Harvey, 111., by a skyrocket from a supervised display, a boy killed at Ebensbuig. when he tossed a firecracker into an "empty'' gasoline drum, and a boy killed at Pelican P.ap-ids. when a skyrocket hit a gas drum.

The council had estimated that traffic deaths would kill 430 persona. Despite heavy travel, with an estimated 40 million cars on tlie move during the period, the actual toll fell far below the estimate. Michigan reported the highest number of tralfic fatalities. 31. aiuomia was next with 29, Ohio Illinois e.glit naif lexas ami New Vo six.

Utah had no accidental death of any kind. The holiday traffic toll, although far lower than expectations wis higher than the "normal" toll for a non-holiday summer weekend.
