Train-Air Force Bus Crash
Scene One of Tragedy
ONTARIO, Cel., Oct. 4 (U.fi) Bleeding, broken and dying young
soldiers and their girls were scattered along the Union Pacific
tracks after the Pony Express passenger train smashed Into an
air force bus, O. L. Englund, of La Crescenla, Cal., said today.
Englund was driving near the scene of the wreck when he
saw pieces of metal In the road,
then a bleeding man staggering
and yelling, "my arm, my arm."
"I must have seen about 15
people lying around and there
were only five of them alive,
Englund said.
"I saw one man lying against
a post, bones sticking out from
his body. A few feet away a
man and a girl were lying side
by side. The girl was groaning
and the man was unconscious."
Englund found another girl
calling for her twin sister. He
led her to another injured wom
an. "That's my twin sister," the
girl said, and started to cry.
"There were pieces of bodies
scattered everywhere and pieces
of the truck, none of them so
big you couldn't lift them," Eng
lund said. "One fellow had his
nose and mouth in a pool of
blood, I moved his head so he
eould breathe,
"A little way off there was
a girl lying by the tracks. Her
head was injured . There was
another girl nearby. She was
naked from the waist up and
was bleeding badly. A man was
half buried in the sand and I
helped pull him out, but he
wasn't breathing."
John Gordon, circulation
truck driver for the Los An
geles Daily News, said he pull
ed up to the scene of the crash
seconds after it happened.
"The train was about a half
mile up the tracks," he said.
I heard screams. Some man was
yelling, 'Hank, Oh, Hank." An
other moaned over and over,
'call an ambulance.' "
One of the oldest pictures of
a rose in existence is found in
the Byzantine manuscript of Pe
danius Dioscoridc's notebook,
written in the first century aft
er Christ, and shows a pink
Gallica rose.
Pick-Me-Up
For Anemic
Tomatoes
Fleetwood, Eng. W Retir
ed skipper Thomas Jinks has
a tip for gardeners if your
tomatoes aren't doing so well,
give them beef broth and
stout beer.
Jinks said he found the
combination was a wonder
ful pick-me-up when his to
matoes showed anemic signs
recently.
"The result", he said, "is
simply amazing, A bumper
crop on a dozen bottles of
stout and half as much beef
broth. And the flavor Is
greatly improved."
A. Simmonds, secretary of
the Royal Horticultural So
ciety, took a show-me atti
tude. "I think the water con
tent of the broth and beer
contributes largely to the suc
cessful crop," he said.

ASKS EARLY PEACE TREATY
Jap Premier Sees U.S.
Forces in Orient for Years
(Editor's note: Observers of world affairs have speculated
In recent weeks concerning the effect on Japan of a Com
munist China. The question bas become sharper with pro
clamation of a Chinese Communist peoples republic.
Joseph L. Jones, vice president and general manager of
the United Press, now on a tour of the Far East, posrd this
question to Japanese Premier Shigeru Yoshicla. In the
following exclusive interview Yoshida says he believes it
will take a generation or two for communism to spread from
China to Japan.) '
By JOSEPH L. JONES
UnlUd Ftm Vic. President
(Copyright, 1&49, by United Preu)
Tokyo, Japan, Oct. 4 (U.R) Premier Shigeru Yoshida hopes that
the allies will sign a peace treaty with Japan as soon as possible,
but if it occurs during the next year he does not see how Ameri
can occupation forces can be withdrawn quickly without leav
ing Japan defenseless ana ln'-
chaos.
The prime minister made these
statements during an hour's ex
clusive interview with the United
Press at his home today. He also
made the following points about
China, communism and war:
1. The best advice he could
give anybody about China would
be to "leave the Chinese alone."
'The British interferred with
them too much during the last
century," he said. "The Japanese
interfered too much this century
and I think that Soviet Russia
will find too much interference
unprofitable also.
"The Chinese communists have
gained control with the help of
Russian influence but ill feel
ing already Is developing in
rural areas as the real nature of
communism becomes clear."
2. As to American policy In
China, Premier Yoshida said
merely "the Americans do not
understand the Chinese." He
said that the government of Gen
eralissimo Chiang Kai-Shek,
Japan's old enemy, "did not try
hard enough" to bring about in
ternal reforms which Americans
urged.
3. "As to communism in
Japan," the premier continued,
I dare say that a communist
China would affect us In time
but not immediately. It took the
Buddhist religion 200 years to
spread to Japan after it became
established in China. I think it
would take a generation or two
for communism to spread from
China to Japan."
Yoshida earlier this year pub
licly proposed to outlaw the com
munist party here but did not
obtain sufficient support. He is
head of the democratic-liberal
party, which is the most conser
vative party in Japan and has
an overwhelming majority in the
diet.
4. The premier would only
say "I hope so" when asked if
he thought a third world war
could be avoided. His hope, he
explained, lies in the increasing
power of world opinion. "We
have had enough war," he add
ed, "nobody wants another one."
5. Japan's austerity budget for
the next fiscal year, which be
gins In April, will be balanced
for the first time in some 15
years.
To attract foreign capital for
reconstruction, some of the tax
levies will be even lower than
those recommended by a recent
tax reform report.
8. "Before you ask any ques
tions," Yoshida told this corres
pondent, "I want to express my
gratitude to the United States
and to Gen. Douglas MacArthur
"In 1945 we thought we would
starve unless we got from 3,000
000 to 3,500,000 tons of food.
Well, nobody starved and the
Japanese people are psychologi
cally very much relaxed since
then.
"We do not intend to abuse
the situation and that is one
reason why we intend to fol
