Salem, Oregon Train Bangs Portland Car A car that stopped on the 12th street railroad tracks Saturday aft ernoon suffered considerable dam age when struck by a slow-moving freight train, city police re ported. The wife of the driver suffered minor injuries. Driver of the car, Barkley Bur rough Wilson, 65. Portland, told police he heard the train whistle but thought it was a block away. He had stopped for the flashing red light at State street as he headed north on 12th street when the accident occurred. He did not know there were any tracks on the street, he said. His wife, Edith, 61. suffered a bruised shoulder. First aidmen treated the injury. Witnessing Officer Richard Davis said he and other motorists honked horns in an effort to warn Wilson of the train. The train struck the car in the right rear, smashing the rear fender and door and doing other damage to the car. 3 Held for Girl's Murder PORTLAND Ul Police con tinued to hold two Chinese men and a Caucasian woman here Monday as they investigated the death of a 16-year-old high school girl, who disappeared Jan. 6. The teen-age girl, Diane Hank, left her home that night to stay with her friends, Wayne Fong, 25, and his Caucasian wife, Schem Fong, 22. Police are holding the Fongs, along with a house guest. Kwong Ting Yee, 28. The Fongs are being held on a charge of contributing to the delin quency of a minor and their house guest on a charge of being out after hours. The girl's body was found, tied in blankets, beside the Evergreen Highway near Washougal last Friday. Police are waiting results of an autopsy. Pistol Wielders (Continued from Pae 3) As police seized the group and rushed them to police headquar ters in downtown Washington, one of the three tossed a Puerto Rican flag into the air. There were some differences of opinion as to whether others, in addition to the two men and the woman, fired shots. "I am sure I saw four persons shooting," Rep. Louis E. Graham (R-Pa) told reporters. "The wom an was shooting into the ceiling but I am sure that three men were shooting down into tho chamber." Graham said Rep. Benjamin James (R-Pa) who was seated next to him exclaimed when the shooting began: "My God, this is real." The woman who was seized identified herself to reporters as Lolita Lebron. "I want freedom for my country," she shouted. The girl said she was a Puerto Rican. "My country must be freed," she yelled. The House was immediately re cessed. The Senate, in session across the capitol. directed that all spectators leave its galleries. Rep. Alvin M. Bentley (R-Mich) ; was lying on the floor after the ; shooting ended. Rep. Clifford Davis (D-Tcnn) was holding his ankle and appar ently had been shot. The pistol wielders rose from a corner near the press gallery and started firing as they shoulrd: "My country is not free. Free Puerto Rico." Members on the floor ducked for the lobby or crouched dow n in their seals. Two of Ihe three were men. The i other was a woman. They fired i what appeared to he Luger pistols I and tried to reload. This is the second violent dem- onstration here for Puerto Rican independence in recent years. On Nov. 1, 1930, two Puerto Rican revolutionists altcmpted to shoot their way into Hlair House, temporary residence at that time of Presiden Truman.

They said the plane appeared to have struck theg round at a 45 degree angle at terrific speed "and the plane and the people aboard were smashed to bits." Engle said it looked as though the craft had practically disinter grated. Pieces of metal were scat tered over a wide area and even hanging from branches in pine and cedar trees. Dug Holes in Ground "The only part of the plane that was recognizable was one wheel;" Engle told a reporter. "The two engines dug holes in the ground about five feet long and two feet deep." He said the plane hit the earth in a comparatively flat stretch, just south of a range of sandy hills. The wreckage was located from the air Sunday and a three-man party headed by sheriff Carl Thoe ming, unable to find the wreckage in darkness, spent the night in the vicinity.

Ample Labor Supply William Kyan, supervisor of institutions, said that vacancies on the staff are. now being filled from the civil service list and there is ample supply of labor to fill all hospital needs. Governor Paul L. Patterson re quested Mills to notify the civil service commission to have a representative present at the meeting and also to notify the Oregon States Employes associ ation of the hearing. Tho latter organization requested opportu nity of being heard at the hear ing. Incidentally, this latter or ganization upheld the employ ment of the conscientious objec tors as hospital aides, insisting that the employment of this group had not kept any unem ployed persons out of a job. Blast Kills 5 (Continued from Page 1) The victims included the pro prietor of the luncheonette, Isa dore Pearlman, 50, and three young customers. The bodies of Bruce Schwartz, , ana haiva tore Baladino, 6, were found un der the soda fountain. The body of 15-year-old Mario Marone was uncovered nearby. The fifth victim was Mrs. Fan ny Rudolph, 45, who lived in an apartment above the jewelry store. Her husband Samuel, 45, suffered cuts and bruises. The impact of the explosion bent an electric sign across the street into a U-shape. Windows for blocks were shattered. Several neighbors told police they noticed the odor of gas be fore the blast.
