Interference Run
By Wife Averts
Truck Disaster
WINSTED, Conn. Wl "Ive got
no brakes; get out of the way,"
John L. McFaum, 48, shouted to
his wife Sunday as his five-ton
truck ripped through the quiet
Winsted main street at 80 miles
an hour.
Mrs. Kathryn McFaum, 48, driv
ing an open convertible, had pull
ed alongside the truck to see what
was wrong. Disregarding her hus
band's advice, she gunned her car
past the truck and ran Interfer
ence. Horn blazing, she signaled cars
to mova over and warned others
at intersections.
McFaum steered past a boy on
a bicyclo at oho Intersection "by
inches." One time the truck just
squeezed between two cars. At an
other intersection a pedestrian saw
wnat was Happening and ran mio
. the street to flag oncoming cars
Somehow the truck, with four
show horses and two helpers in
hack, whizzed down a hill and shot
through three red lights, in a two
mile, hair-raising ride.
Transmission Breaks
McFaum. of Ipswich. Mass..
tried to shift into a lower gear to
slacken the speed, but the trans
mission broke under the force. He
grabbed the emergency brake,
but the truck was rolling so fast it
quicklv burned out.
McFaum, his hand bleeding but
still clutching the emergency brake
steered the truck up a hill and
brought it to a stop against a curb
just outside of town.
Later McFaum had the truck
repaired and started on his trip
home again from the Lakeville
horse show. The horses, which he
valued at more than $15,000, were
not visibly shaken by the ride,
but the two helpers were.
Police Chief Waldo Healh, com
mending Mr. and Mrs. McFaum
for their "nerve and skill," said no
charges would be filed.

Los Angeles Sees End
Of Long Transit Strike
LOS ANGELES W-The clang
of trolleys and the roar of buses
echoed through this city's streets
today for the first time in 34 days
as the longest transit strike in
local history ended.
Operators voted 1,152-493 at a
mass meeting Sunday to termin
ate Los Angeles' costliest trans
portation tieup.
The strike, which forced 900,000
daily riders to find other trans
portation, cost bus and trolley op
erators an estimated $710,000 in
lost pay, and the Los Angeles
Transit Lines $2,345,000 in lost
revenue.
Twice during the tieup members
of Division 1277, AFL Amalgamat
ed Assn. of Street, Electric, Rail
way and Motor Coach Employes
of America rejected offers of 12
cents more an hour.
Sunday they approved a boost
of 14 cents an hour in three steps
within a year. There is also an
escalator clause, effective the sec
ond year; paid holidays, four
weeks vacation after 25 years, paid
life insurance and minor changes
in working conditions. The pact is
for two years.
Operators, who have been re
ceiving St. 91 hourly, return to
work at $1.9.
Camp Tyee" Has
Fire Guard Plan
A reorganized fire protection
control system has been set up at
Camp Tyee as a salcly measure
according to Fred Lamoureaux, a
director of the Roseburg Camu
Fire Council.
Lamoureaux said camp counsel
lors have been divided into two
groups. One will supervise a water
bucket brigade and fire fighting
activities. The other will serve
an evacuation crew for children
at camu.
To facilitate fire control Lamour
eaux recently supervised the plac
ing of four 50-gallon water arums
at the camp.
He also plans to install an elec
tric siren or warning system as
soon as one can be found. Monday
he said he'd appreciate a phone
call at OR 3-5503 from any per
son who might have such an elec
tric siren or horn that could be
donated for use at the camp for
the remainder of Ihe summer.
Lamoureaux said if he could not
be contacted the call could be
made to Mrs. Gladys Amundson
at Camp Fire headquarters in
Roseburg. That number is OH
3-8277.
He praised the counsellors and
youngsters at camp for their as
sistance in setting up the fire con
trol system. He said some of their
suggestions and ideas were of con
siderable help.

India Acts For Total
Break With Portugal
NEW DELHI Wl Prime Min
ister Nehru asked Portugal Mon
day to close its legation in New
Delhi by Aug. 8 because of the
European country's "persistent re

to Portuguese India.
In a related move, the government-owned
Indian Railways sus
pended freight and passenger serv
ices to Portuguese Goa, the main
Porguguese colony on the west

Closing of the legation would
mean virtual suspension of diplo
matic relations between the two
countries.

Scripture On Garage

6,000 Battling Ontario's
Worst Timber Blazes
TORONTO W Raging forest
fires continued to spread Monday
through Northern Ontario's sun
baked woodlands. At least 154 fires
were burning, 48 of them out of
control.
More than 200,000 acres o f
timber pine, balsam, spruce and
maple have been reduced to
blackened stumps. Frank Mac

The situation is the worst in the
province's history.
Rain was needed, but none was
in sight. Officials have considered
seeding clouds to induce rain, but
the right cloud formations have
not been found over the fire areas.

Oregon traffic.
While less people were being
killed, drivers on Oregon's high
ways drove more miles and there
were more registered vehicles in
operation. Because of the increas
ed mileage and the lowered death
toll, the cumulative mileage death
rate for the first five months drop
ped from 6.1 persons killed par
one hundred million miles driven
in 1954 to 5.1 for one hundred mil
lion miles in 1955. While the rec
ord is good for the first half of the,
year, the secretary warned that
the months of heaviest traffic and
worst driving conditions are ahead
and if the gains of the first six
months are to be maintained it
will take increased alertness on the
part of drivers of the state. "
