By elimination, the field of theor ies has been narrowed and the investigation continues in full swing. Federal, slate, county and railway police are coordinating tbeir efforts. Meanwhile, S. P. wreck crews are doing what railway officials term an amazing job of speedy cleanup. It is expected the last of the 17 wrecked freight cars will be picked up today and work started retracking the overturned mallet engine. The engine and 17 cars were piled up on a spur track 20 miles south of here when someone sabo taged a switch. The switch lock was broken, the switch set for the spur and two target signals re versed to show the switch still set for the main line. The freight train, proceeding at 35 miles an hour toward Alturas, Calif., veered into the short spur and wrecked. All six trainmen were injured but luckily escaped serious hurts.

Of Washington Board SEATTLE (VP) A dispute over a proposal to increase s t u dents' fees at the University of Washington wis climaxed bv the resignation oT labor leader Dave : Beck from the board of regents. I Beck, vice president ofOthe In I ternational Teamsters' union j ( AFL), said hr gave up the post he : had held for five yeara for two I reasons: . j To protest the proposed fee in i crease; !

But he said the "solution does not lie in further burdening the students" but in "prompt action" on the met ropolitan tract Jease.

Entire Battalion Under Adoption By Small City SOMEWHERE IN KOREA fP Little Healdsburg, Calif., got the ball rolling and thousands of GIs hope it never stops at least as long as war keeps them away from home. Healdsburg adopted a battalion of frontline troops. Now the bat talion is the best-supplied outfit in Korea. Who else gets so many sir-mail envelopes, and mirrors? and wash rags? ana combs? and books and magazines? These things are more precious than gold in Korea, and harder to find. It all started when the battalion's commanding officer, Lt. Col. Fred Weyand, wrote his wife how short the men were of "all the little things." His wife, Arline, mentioned the letter at a Healdsburg chamber of commerce meeting. The whole town (population 3,184) liked the idea. The first shipment got here about 10 days ago just as the weary doughboys came off the line after the Chinese offensive. "We'd had a rough week, and were really beat out," Weyand re counted. "The very last day after a week of fighting and digging and nn sleen wr had a 15-mile I march with full pack. It was the Friday, May 11, If SI The News-Review, Roteburg, Or. i finishing touch, and everyone was down in tne moutn. "We got into our area and found the first packets had arrived. They were full of reading xtuu and things like mirrors and washrags and combs that we would use right away for our clean-up. "Maybe that doesn't sound like very much, but, believe me, it made us all feel better to know that someone, at least, was think ing of us." Weyand said he had written the towns people of Healdsburg a let ter of thanks and "now we're kinda hoping for some eating snacks things like sardineft and crackers just so it isn't army stuff."

Austin, chief United States delegate to the United Nations, ex pressed confidence here that t h e U. N. can win the Korean war with out sacrificing the unity of the free world. Austin did not mention Gen. Douglas MacArthur by name, but his statement apparently was aimed at Mac Arthur's declaration that the United Slates should carry the fight to Red China even if it means going it alone. In a speech prepared for deliv ery at Tulane university, where he was to be presented an honorary degree of doctor of law.i, Austin declared that political and mili tary considerations were so closely linked in the field of col lective security that it was impos sible to separate them. The United States wanted the strength that comes with unity, Austin said. "We have it." he added, ' we are determined to maintain it." Victory In Grtc Cittd He cited the United Nations vic tory in Greece as an example of bow military and political consider ations must be taken together. There, too. Communist troops had operated from a "privileged sanc tuary," he said, but the U. N.'s unity of purpose forced the Com munists to withdraw. "No cease - fire arrangements were made," he said, "no truce agreements reached, no treaties signed. But, militarily and politi cally. Communist imperialism was defeated. Militarily and politically, the United Nations was victorious." China Reds On Shaky Ground Austin said political forces are now at work in Communist China, which may well bring the same results. Even Communist masters," he said, "dare not continue indefi nitely to drive hundreds of thou sands of their countrymen into the slaughter of our superior fire power. Their casualit.es have been tremendous. Even Communist slave-drivers cannot remain im mune from such a calamity." He added: "We will not give up the United Nations principles for which we entered Korea. We are not pan icked because the situation is more difficult now than when we e n tered. Communist imperialism will be defeated in Korea. We are de termined to see the struggle through to victory. No Appeasement Planned "There will be no appeasement. The members of the United Na tions know that rewarding aggres sion encourages it. They know that surrender leads to surrender. They know too that fighting alone does not insure the victory. "Five years after obtaining un conditional surrender from its en emies, the world is still struggling to etahlih peace. Those years have taught us to seek more than victory upon the battlefield. Those years have taueht us that peace is also a political process." SATURDAY SPECIAL Featuring Severson's Home-mode . . . Hand-die ped Chocolates Special . . .
