Safety Council predicts 240 will die in weekend accidents
The National Safety Council in Chicago forecast 240 deaths on highways during the Memorial Day weekend starting 6 p m tonight. The two day period may exceed prior Memorial Day fatalities, though exact comparisons are limited by new casualty records.

Traffic and travel were heavy with 800 000 cars expected from New York City alone and extra rail and air service planned to handle holiday travelers. The report dampened hopes for a low death toll, noting last month set a record for roadway fatalities with 2 590 lives lost, up 10 percent from April last year.
