Holiday Traffic
Deaths Headed
For New Peak
556 Fatalities Listed,
With Heaviest Travel
Due in Final Hours
Br the AnocUted Pre«»
Traffic deaths across the Na
tion mounted steadily Christmas
Day and safety experts said it«
appeared the Anal toll would set;
an all-time holiday record.
A total of 556 deaths from
traffic mishaps already had been i
counted today with the heaviest!
travel still to come during the'
final hours of the four-day holi- 1
day. The record traffic total for
any holiday period is 609 during:
the 1955 three-day Christmas!
Week end.
The National Safety# Council
said it expects the pre-holiday
estimate of 660 highway deaths
to bl exceeded. The council said
some 40 million cars will be on
the streets and highways during
the last 12 hours of Christmas.
“Tragically on Schedule”
“The death rate in traffic has
been tragically on schedule for
topping our estimate of a record!
660 holiday fatality toll,” said:
Ned H. Dearborn, council presi
dent.
The overall total of accidental
deaths since the count started at
6 p.m. (local time) Friday was
673, including 32 in fires and
85 in miscellaneous accidents.
Last year’s Christmas overall to
tal was 782.
Weather conudltions over most
of the country improved yester
day and a clearing trend was in
dicated for most areas today.
Fog and rain extended over wide
sections of the Eastern half of
the Nation in the first half of
the Christmas week end. creating
hazardous driving conditions.
However, safety experts warned
of travel dangers on the holiday,
including winter driving condi- ■
tions, a minimum of daylight and
holiday drinking.
‘Needless and Senseless’
Leading in traffic deaths Were
California, Illinois, Texas. Mich- (
igan. New York and Ohio. Three
States Maifre, North Dakota i
and Wyoming reported no
traffic fatalities.
Mr. Dearborn, commenting on
the heavy traffic toll, said:
‘‘The most horrible aspect of
this carnage is that it is need- ,
less and senseless. It could be ,
curbed sharply if drivers exem- ,
plified the spirit of Christmas.
They’ve shared gifts: they
should apply that same thought
fulness to sharing the road.”
Traffic deaths in the Nation ,
in the first 10 months this year ]
averaged 106 a day. An Asso- |
dated Press survey during a .
nonholiday period, from 6 p.m. ;
Friday to midnight Tuesday of
the December 14-18 week end.

Party Leaders Ask
End of Bureaucracy
MOSCOW, Dee. 25 UP). —The |
Soviet Communist Party’s Cen-h
tral Committee last night ended ,
its first meeting since the Hun
garian revolt with a 4,000-word ,
communique that made no men-1!
tlon of the satellites.
Instead the aelect group which
ratifies the policies of the Krem
lin leaders called on the Soviet
people to eliminate bureaucracy
and inefficiency to increase their
standard of living.
There was not even a year-end
announcement that the Soviet !
people would get more consumer
soeds in 1957. There had been
specu'etion this would be pro
mised.
Unofficial reports circulated
that the Central Committee
would meet again in January to
take up problems of foreign pol
icy and relations with the satel
lites. There was Also a possi
bility that further decisions were
taken at the session and would
be announced later.
Only one minor personnel
change was announced. The;
communique said Dmitri Shepl
lov had been released from his
duties as one of the eight secre
taries of the Central Committee
so he could give full Urge to his
job as foreien minister!
Otherwise the communique an
nounced: --
The sixth 5-year plan was re
turned to the Supreme Soviet
<parliament* for revision. The
committee said some quotas
were too high and building of
new industrial plants should be
retarded In some areas.
The 1956 production plan fell
short in the fields of coal, metal,
cement, lumber and housing.
The committee blamed mis
management, poor planning and;
improper allocation for "urgent
problems and serious deficien
cies" which had arisen. Such
shortages—and such an explana
tion—are usual.
But the committee said pro
duction in heavy industry was
11 per cent above the quota and
in light (consumer goods) indus
try 9 per cent above the plan.

Injured Man Found Dead;
Wallet Gone, 7 Cents Left
Police Identify Well-Dressed Victim;
Death Attributed to Ruptured Liver
The body of a well-dressed man with only 7 cents In his
pockets and no identification was found in a vacant lot in the
rear of 1019 P street N.W. early today. His wallet was missing
and the body bore marks of injury.
Capt. Richard J. Felber, head of the homicide squad, said
the man was identified through
fingerprints on file at |he Federal
Bureau of Identification As John
M&urlce Vailfapcofurt, 41. Cana
dian born and a veteran of serv- j
ice In the American Army in
World War D. ,
His fingerprints appeared both
in the alien fingerprint file, and
the military file, showing he en
listed in the Army in Vermont
in 1942.
Capt. Felber said he under
stood Mr. Vaillancourt lived with
his sister, Francoise, at 1225
Thirteenth street N.W. Another
sister, he said, is married to the
; owner of a service station for
whom Mr. Vaillancourt previ
ously worked. Capt. Felber said
|he understood Mr. Vaillancourt
had been working for a plumbing
concern.
Use of Force Seen
Deputy Coroner Christopher
J. Murphy, after a preliminary
autopsy, reported the man died
of a ruptured liver. He said it
could only Viave been caused by
some outside force.
Mr. Vaillancourt could have
received the fatal injury by fall
ing or being kicked. Dr. Murphy
said. A few slight bruises found
on the body, he said, could have
been caused in getting the man
on a stretcher. Chemical tests
to determine alcoholic content
of the body will be made to
morrow.
Homicide Detective Sergt. Roy
Schwab said the body was seen
by Mrs. Thomas Timmons, who

White House Scene Is Set for Visit
Os Eisenhower's Four Grandchildren
By HERMAN F. SCHADEN
In atmosphere crisp and dry, the Washington area exuded
the spirit of a merry Christmas today with all the heartiness
of a bountifully blessed Nation.
From the White House to every household where the
birth of Christ is. celebrated, pervaded the warmth of this
happiest of all seasons.
From the bell towers and organs of the churches rang
out the message of peace on!
earth, and from the throats of
carolers came notes of joy and
hope.
Making this a good day for
travelers, and neighbors visiting
neighbors, were skies free of the
recent fog and rain. A more!
seasonable snap was in the air!
and the Weather Bureau said a
low of 29 degrees was expected;
tonight, followed by fair and
moderately cold tomorrow.
Day at White House
Because this was the birthday;
of the Christ child, it mainly
was a day for children. And
this, too, was reflected from the.
expanses of the White House
where toys and gifts were heaped
beneath a gayly decorated tree.
The scene was set for the 3
p.m. arrival of President and;
Mrs. Eisenhower’s four grand
children David, 8; Barbara
Anne, 7; Susan, 5 next Monday,
and Mary Jean, a year old last
Friday.
The children of Maj. and Mrs.
John Eisenhower were doubly
blessed, for earlier in the day;
they opened their gifts at their
home at Fort Belvoir, Va.
It was the first White House \
Christmas for little Mary Jean,;
but the others also enjoyed the
holiday there last year. Topping
oil today’s visit was a turkey
dinner.

Similar scenes were the motif
of homes everywhere;—the day
of realization after the long

Refugees Reported Poised
To Renew Hungary Fight
By JOHN BOSSON
Refugees, by the thousands
are turning down offers of a
peaceful life in other lands and
are “hanging around” the Aus
trian border waiting for the
right moment to go back to
Hungary and fight.
They are waiting for the first
isign that the Soviet Union has
relaxed its grip on their home
land.
I Those were the observations
voiced here last night by Mrs.
: Frances McKee Stone, a dlgni
fled young woman who left New
!York about two months ago for
a “pleasure” trip through Eu
rope, and ended up risking her
life several times a week to help
the refugees to freedom.
Mrs. Stone, a New York real
estate agent, arrived here yester
day from Vienna to visit her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick
H. Brooke of 3021 N street N.W.;
for the holidays.
Told of Banishments
Since late In November she
had listened to tales of torture
and trudged through miles of
mud.
She had heard a gruesome
account of hundreds of Hun
garian rebels being stripped of
their plothes and herded into
cattle cars for shipment to the
Soviet Union. «

ings on Christmas Is believed
to have started in the 18th cen
tury.
Gifts have been exchanged at
Christmas time since the 4th
century. The first Christmas
carol was written in Italy during
the 13th century. Christmas
candles were used in the Middle
Ages. Midnight mass on Christ
mas was celebrated early in the
sth century. The first Christmas
card has been traced back to
1844 by one researcher, but
others argue about lt.
The real St. Nicholas was a
kindly ascetic. He was trans

Martin Luther decorated the
first Christmas tree. But other
reports say the custom is much
older.

shopping days seem worthwhile.
Santa Claus was vindicated
again.
Fortunately for those less for
tunate, many were the charitable
acts among the poor and the
’shut-ins. Across the Nation,
none of the 173 Veterans’ Ad
ministration hospitals or their
110,000 patients were forgotten.
Expressing the spirit of broth
erhood, many Jewish workers
| stepped into the hospitals to give
j their Christian co-oworkers a
! chance to be with their families.
In Washington, ministers and lay
leaders of the Jewish faith sent
greetings to theft- Christian
friends. ,
Other hospitals and homes in
the area were visited by groups
Isuch as the Metropolitan Police
Boys’ Club Band and carolers.
Food Distributed to Needy
Heaping baskets of food were
‘distributed to hundreds of needy
families, so they, too, may know
!the true meaning of Christmas
: giving.
Many churches had services
!today. Many others were glowing
with light last night, or basking
in the light of candles. In serv
ices marking the approach of
Christendom's happiest'hour.
By nightfall, many of the
thousands of Government work
ers and others who enjoyed a
four-day holiday, will be moving
toward their own fireplace.
Tomorrow it all will be just a
! poignant memory, but today It
iwas Merry Christmas everywhere.
