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.

The first eyewitness accounts of
the crash scene were given here
by Robert Engle, Newcastle
rancher, and Clyde Ice, who oper
ates a flying service.
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.
