died of suffocation while hanging
from his safety belt. This was
learned today from Coroner L. L.
Powers, who said 1 post mortem
examination revealed the cause of
death.
Wednesday morning, while Dr.
A. B. Munroe was -ministering to
the injured survivor of the crash,
Michael D. Moore, "Mike" told of
his efforts to get Forster out of
the wreckage. He said he had no
knife and efforts to cut the belt
with a "C-ration key" were futile.
The pilot was dead by the time
the first person arrived on the
scene. The helicopter was upside
down and Forster was hanging by
his belt, feet and head down.
Pilot Lived 1 Hours
Young Moore, an 18-year-old
Michigan State University student
working with the Forest Service
for the summer, told rescuers the
pilot had lived for about two hours
after the crash. "I could hear him
breathing," Moore said while he
was being readied for his stretch

Moore had been thrown clear of
the wreckage and had crawled over
to it to try to free Forster. He

Nizwa, in the central Oman Des

Khrushchev Accuses West
Of Trying To Turn Germany

BERLIN, W Russian Commun

Khrushchev told a special ses

extremely serious situation."
"They want to use the German
people as cannon fodder in their
plans to conquer the world," the
Red chieftain declared.
The speech parroted numerous
other blasts from Khrushchev, So

aganda organs. Presumably this
time it was intended to scare West
German voters who on Sept. 15
elect new Parliament and de

Rescued From
30 Foot Well
ARCATA, Calif. 11 A little
boy who didn't panic although im

ness of a dry well clutched a loop
ed rope and was pulled out safely
Wednesday on the fourth try,
Three other times, just as fire
men got 3'a - year - old Michael
Swenson near the surface, he lost
his grip and fell back, pulling land
down on him.
His anxious mother, Mrs. Dale
Swenson, gasped: "1 was more
frightened than Mike was."
Mike fell feet first into the eight-inch-wide
hole on the farm of T.
F. Auitman, who had drilled the
well in sandy soil Wednesday and
covered it. Children removed the
cover.
Mike s cries attracted his moth
er. He was pulled out 30 minutes
later.
A doctor said he was in good
condition except for nausea, caused
by swallowing sand.
Areata is near Humboldt Bay
in northern California
Mike's mother didn t panic but
said, "I was more frightened than
Mike was."
She said she looked out tha win
dow of the Auitman home, no
ticed that her only child wasn't
with a group of toddlers playing
in the yard, and immediately
started hunting for bim.
The other children, all about
Mike's age, apparently had not
missed him.
Mrs. Swenson quickly got the
garden hose when she heard the
boy's cries. She lowered it into
the well and tried to pull him
oul. But his hands kepi slipping
off the hose. Then she called the
Fire Department.
The engine company is about
seven miles from the Auitman
farm, down a paved county road,
and firemen arrived within 10
minutes.
At first the firemen lowered the
rope without a loop. Mike tried
to hold on. But three times as
he neared the surface his fingers
lost their grip.
Each time he fell back, some
sand fell on him. Rescuers con
stantly feared the well, without
a casing, might collapse. On the
fourth attempt, Mike shoved his
hand through the loop. It cinched
as the firemen hauled him to
safely.

House Sets
Bill Aside
For Study
72-18 Vote Approves
Controversial Issue
With Jury Trial Setup
WASHINGTON t The House
temporarily sidestepped a decision
Thursday on what to do about the
civil rights bill.
The bill, which the Scnats
passed Wednesday night on a 72
18 vote, was laid on the sneaker's
desk to give House leaders mora
tune to sound out sentiment and
consider compromise proposals.
For the time being, no attempt
will be made to send the meas
ure to a Senate-House conference
to resolve differences with the bill
which the House passed 286-126
on June 18. The House bill, close
ly following administration recom
mendations, is broader in scope
and more stringent in enforce
ment provisions.
House Republican leader Martin
of Massachusetts added substance
to reDOrtR that Prpsirfonl: F.tenn.
(lower may call Congress back
into special session unless he gets
a measure he feels he can sign.
Eisenhower has objected parti
cularly to a provision added by
the Senate to require iurv trials
in all criminal contempt cases in
the federal courts.
Martin told newsmen that if
Congress finally passes a bill
which fails to meet Eisenhower s
specifications he would personal
ly recommend that the President
veto it and call Congress back in
November to try again.
Speaker of the House Rayburn
of Texas, spokesman for the Dem
ocratic House majority, said he
would have a statement Friday
on what he thinks should be done.
11 was expected the House would
decide then what action to take.
There was backstage maneu
vering to line up supporters for
a compromise which would limit
the jury trial amendment to cases
involving only the protection of
voting rights.
Backers of such a measure
roundly criticized the jury trial
provision, Dut tney helped supply
the votes for Senate passage of
this first mil of its kind to go
through the Senate in more than
80 years.
