Holiday Death Toll Hits 800 CHICAGO (AP) -- Tragedy marked the traditional joyous, gay Christmas holiday in hun- dreds of homes across the United States with a death toll of some 800 in traffic fires and miscellaneous mis- haps. The No. 1 killer as usual was traffic. With final figures still to come, the count showed 618 persons lost their lives in motor vehicle accidents during the four-day Christmas holiday pe- riod. Fires killed 104 persons and 79 others were killed in a variety of accidents. The over- all total was 801. The U.S. National Safety Council, which had estimated the traffic death toll at 650 te 750, said the belated reports may increase the final figure close to 650.
