Nation s Military Death Total Passes Million-Mark, But Auto More Potent Killer Than War The nation's military deaths in all wars since 1775 had reached a total of about 1,005, 600 at the end of two years of war in Korea, where approxi mately 19,350 American combat deaths have occurred since the invasion of South Korea on June 25, 1950, the Association of Casualty and Surety Com panies estimates. The association's continuing comparative study of war and traffic deaths showed, however, that the total of highway :a ? talities since the first automo i bile accident victim was killed ; in New York City 52 years and | nine months ago is now far | ahead of the all-time war total, j Since February, when the total of lives lost in highway acci | dents equaled military fatalities for the first time, the historic toll of 1,018,500 traffic deaths has surged 13,000 above the na ( tion's war fatality toll of 1,005,- ! 600. In the four months since the automobile outpaced war as a killer, highway deaths have climbed 6,500. This is more than 100 times greater than the in crease of 600 in the number of American lives lost in Korean fighting while the truce talks were being held at Panmunjom during the same period. With the automobile now far outpacing war as a mass killer of Americans, the association said, there is little likelihood that military casualties will ever overtake highway fatalities in the grim race between the two killers, unless military forces were to be destroyed wholesale in any future fight ing.
