Holiday deaths

predicted mark
By Unitod Preu International
The National Safety Council
hoped today it could scrap its
predictions ot a possible record
for highway death over the In
dependence Day weekend.
Despite perfect driving con

in almost all sections of the coun

running behind expectations.
Close to 200 persons had died
since the start of the 102 hour

OAKLAND, Calif. (UP1) - A
bearded college laboratory techni

in the smashup of what officers
call the largest counterfeiting op
eration in the history of the U.S.
Secret Service.
With the arrest Thursday of
Eugene Allen, 36, of San Leandro.
secret service agents and Oakland
police vice squad officers reported
they also seized another $200,000
in "near perfect" $20 and $50
bills.
That raised the total amount
confiscated to more than $1.4 mil
lion in bogus bills.
Allen joined two alleged accom
plices in Oakland city jail. The
two are Guy J. Smith, 39, 270
pound tavern owner, and Joseph
Memoli, 40, who runs an Italian
restaurant.
A task force of 10 Oakland of
ficers and five Secret Service
agents Wednesday night grabbed
Smith as he stepped from his car
outside of Memoli's restaurant.
They then battered their way in
to the resataurant office to grab
Memoli and hundreds of fake
identity cards. They also confis
cated $1.2 million in counterfeit
money.
. The officers said Alien led them
to the counterfeiters' "mint," an
inconspicuous house here.
Allen is an electronics engineer
by training and is employed by
Alameda State College, he told po
lice. A police spokesman said that
two more men "who have long
since departed" were also being
sought in connection with the ring.
Tom Hanson, head of the San
Francisco Secret Service office,
told his superiors in Washington
that the money represented the
largest cache ever seized in the
United States.
California pelr
now home safe
DELTA, Utah UPI A Califor
nia doctor and his wife returned
home by train today after their
light plane made a crash-landing
on a desert road 30 miles north
01 nere weanesaay evening.
Dr. Ernest Bechler. Covina, said
he and his wife were flying the
90-minute trip from Malad. Idaho,
to Delta when his war surplus T6
airplane developed engine trouble.
"The engine began to run rather
rough and then the whole plane
vibrated. I cut back on the power,
then went through the routine of
checking the fuel, oil and other
instruments," he said.
"Then when we couldn't gain
altitude I looked for a place to
land. The only visible area was
the road. But when it was too
late to turn back I saw fence
posts beside the road," the neuro
surgeon said.
Dr. Beehler said the right wing
caught on the steel posts, pulling
the plane into the fence and off
into the sagebrush. He said dam
age to the craft was considerable.
The plane sheared off 18 steel
posts before stopping in the sage
brush. "We were shaken and tossed
around but fortunately didn't get
hurt," he said. The couple was
returning from a urological meet
ing in Sun Valley, Idaho.

California ran up the worst holi

fatalities. There were 12 in both
Indiana and New York state and
10 in both Ohio and Texas.
A statistical analysis by the
safety council of figures supplied
by United Press International
snowed that an estimated 50 per
cent of the fatal traffic accidents
involved driving too fast. For all
of 1962: speeding involved 34 per I
cent of fatal traffic accidents.
About 20 per cent of the holi
day's deaths resulted from driv
ing on the wrong side of the
highway, compared with 14 per
cent during 1962, the safety coun
cil said. Failure to yield the right
of way accounted for about 11
per cent, slightly more than the
1962 percentage.

Conservative government today.
Conservative losses in by-elections

French President Charles de

day summit meeting that ended
here today to settle their differ-1
ences over the future of Britain's
relations with the Common Mar- j
ket. I
A joint communique issued at
the close of the meeting this aft
ernoon did not even mention the
problem.
Spokesmen for the French and 1
German delegations, pressed by
reporters, would say only that the j
Common Market question was
discussed and would be consid-;
ered again at a ministers meeting
of the six-nation economic group
ing in Brussels next week.
The Germans had insisted the I
question be considered at today's
meeting. But the French, who had
torpedoed Britain's bid to enter
the Common Market, were un
willing to agree here on any or
ganized method of maintaining
liaison between the market and
Britain.
French Foreign Ministry press
chief Claude Lebel told question
ers only that various ideas were
discussed."
The communique reiterated
Thursday's failure by the French

agreement on a common Euro

whole subject would be the mat
ter of a fresh export study.
The two governments, however,
did agree they should aim at
common prices for beef, dairy
products and rice by next spring.

Wirtz holds sessions with

WASHINGTON (UPI) Labor
Secretary W. Willard Wirtz met
today with both sides in the rail
road dispute to outline steps the
government might take if an
agreement is not reached by mid

strike-threatening situation.
But as they went into the meet-
ing. spokesmen for both the rail-
roads and the unions indicated
they had not budged from their
long-held positions.
J. E. Wolfe, chief negotiator for
the railroads, said the carriers

for the current talks ends at mid-

One of the union negotiators
reiterated that the five railroad

Among the objects found on or

He declined to speculate on

he acknowledged there has been
talk of legislation permitting com
pulsory arbitration, seizure of the
railroads, or a combination of
both.
Wirtz described Uie situation as
"deadly serious" and said a

about 700,0110 rail workers and
cause layoffs in other industries

halt about 43 per cent of the na

Bitterness
marks start
of session
MOSCOW (UPI) Soviet and
Chinese Communist leaders, lock
ed in an all-out ideological battle
for leadership of the Communist
world, today held their first meet. '
ing in their showdown Moscow
talks.
The Chinese delegation got a
chilly reception when it arrived
In an atmosphere electrified with
hostility by a last- minute ex
change of bitter charges.
The Chinese Communists and a
high-level Soviet delegation went
behind closed doors several hours
later and met for an hour and
45 minutes.
The first meeting was held in
the modernistic "House of Recep
tions" in the Lenin Hills section
of Moscow, where it was under
stood the Peking delegation will
be staying during the negotia
tions. Chief Soviet delegate Mikhail
Suslov, the Kremlin's senior ideol
ogist, had suggested to the Chi
nese on their arrival that the
first meeting be held late this aft
ernoon, but there was no an
nouncement where it would be
held.
Saturday Settlen Planned
Newsmen, however, finally
spotted the delegates arriving at
the House of Receptions and
clocked them out an hour and 45
minutes later.
Tlw Chines negotiating team
flew in by special plane from Pe
king and was met at the airport
by Suslov.
But the Russian press ignored
their arrival altogether. Neither
the official radio, the Tass news
agency or the government news
paper Izvcstia, announced the ar
rival.
Izvestia's edition rolled off the'
presses four hours after the Chi
nese Communists arrived so there
would have been sufficient time
to publish news of their landing. :
It was believed today's first
Sino-Soviet meeting was devoted,
largely to procedural and proto
col matters and the delegates
would get down to business Sat
urday. Relations between the two Com- "
munist giants were strained to'
the breaking point just hours be
fore the opening session of the
showdown talks that will deter
mine the course of international
communism.
Announced New Protest '.
Red China announced a bitter
new protest against the Soviet
Union earlier in the day, and the
Russians printed a front-page ed
itorial in the Communist party
newspaper declaring they would
not back down in the discus
sions.
The negotiations were called
originally to restore peace to the
Communist world, but the flurry
of last-minute vitriolic charges'
and counter charges between
Moscow and Peking cast strong
doubt that any progress would be
made.
Western observers felt thers
was a possibility of an historic
split of the Communist camp.
The New China News Agency,'
monitored in Tokyo, said the Chi
nese delegation left Peking ear
lier in the day and flew via Si
beria. Delay Departure
The Chinese apparently delayed
the departure of their delegation
to the last possible moment.
There had been some speculation
they might cancel or postpone
the talks, especially after a new
attack on Peking's position Thurs
day by the Soviet Communist
party.
The Russians followed up
Thursday's attack with a front
page editorial In today's edition
of Die party newspaper Pravda,
declaring the Soviet delegation
would hold "unswervingly" to the
Kremlin's interpretation of
Marxism-Leninism.
