Los Angeles railroad yards killing 29 persons and injuring
142 others, is led from the scene of the accident by his
wife, who was a passenger on the train, and an unidenti

Coty Probes Leaders
On Choice of Mollet
Paris (U.R President Rene
Coty sounded out France's lead
ers today on his plan to name
Socialist leader Guy Mollet as
premier to succeed Edgar Faure.
Mollet became an almost cer
tain choice when one of his fol
lowers, Andre Le Troquer, was
elected president (speaker) of the
new tional Assembly Tuesday
with Communist support.
Faure resigned immediately
after Le Trouquer was elected.
His resignation plunger France
into its 22nd cabine't.,crisis since
the war and left it leaderless at
another crucial time in history.
' Pierre Mendes-France, a Radi-1
cal Socialist who teamed up with
Mollet in a "republican front"
and who also had been consid
ered a possible choice as pre-
Beautiful Models to
Sell Grade Change
Portland (U.R) Oregon lum
bermen are relying on beautiful
models to help sell the first
change in lumber grades in 50
years. . , .
The girls will help the lumber
industry acquaint tens of thou
sands of lumber workers and
millions of carpenters, architects
and builders with the fact that
on March 15 lumber grades will
be designated by name instead
of by numbers.
Instead of Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4,
grades of lumber produced in the
Douglas fir region of the Pacific
Northwest will be known as
construction, standard, utility
and economy.
The campaign to reeducate
lumber users with the new grade
designations will be nationwide.
mier, took note of that develop
ment today in his newspaper,
L 'Express.
Mendes Notes Conference
Speaking of the forthcoming
Big Two conference in Washing
ton between President Eisen
hower and British Prime Minis
ter Sir Anthony Eden, Mendes
France wrote:
"France is absent and neglect
ed . . . she does not perform the
major role which had come back
to her in the Atlantic commu
nity." V
Coty conferred today with Al
bert Sarraut, president of the
French Union Assembly; Emil
Roche, president of the Economic
Council, and Edo'uard Herriot,
honorary pesid&nt of the Na
tional Assembly.
He had conferred with Le Tro
quer immediately after his elec
tion and with Senate President
Gaston Monnerville.
Selection Expected Today
Coty was expected to name
the new premier today or Thurs
day. The new National Assembly
would vote later in the week on
the premier and his program.
Most observers believed the
Communists would support Mol
let's nomination.
The election of Le Torquer rep
resented a major political vic
tory for Mendes-France's and
Mollet's left of center Republi
can front over the center right
group of Faure and Independent
Antoine Pinay, the out-going for
eign minister.
But it also showed Mollet
cannot muster a majority in the
National Assembly without Com'
munist support. Both he and
Mendes-France formally , reject
ed Communist invitations to re
vive the old "popular front"
government.
Chicago (U.R) A fatal stab
bing capped a week of shocking
"wolf gang" attacks Tuesday
night and police ordered the
pickup of every Chicago teen
ager with a police record.
The unprecedented roundup
was touched off by the murder
of William McNeff, 20, on a
west side sidewalk.
Four youths jumped McNeff
and a friend at the entrance of
a restaurant. While McNeff
pleaded "for God's sake, don't
use that blade," one of the
toughs plunged a 12-inch switch
blade knife into his heart.
The killing was the latest in
a series of "wolf gang" attacks
which have shocked Chicago in
the past week.
On Sunday night, a gang of
teen-agers pulled a semi-pro
football player, 18-year-old Don
ald Stevens, from his car and
beat him unmercifully with a
wrench. The same gang swag
gered along southwest side
streets that night, "jumping any
body who came along," police
said.
Youths Club Teacher
Last week, two 16-year-olds
clubbed a teacher into uncon
sciousness in an elementary'
school corridor.
Hours after the McNeff mur
der Deputy Uniformed Police
Chief Robert Ryan ordered the
mass pickup of teen-agers.
"Bring 'em in as fast as you
can find 'em on the streets," he
told his men. "I'm putting an
end to this terrible situation
right now."
Roundups of known criminals
are routine in Chicago police
annals. But this was the first
time that a blanket pickup order
had been issued for juvenile of
fenders. Practically all the persons in
volved in the McNeff knifing,
including the victim, were grad
uates of the city's jails.
Pair Had Records
Both McNeff and his compan
ion, 20-year old. John Gahier,
had spent time in county jail.
Gahier said they were getting
out of McNeff 's car when . the
"wolf pack" blocked them.
Three members of the gang
pinned Gahier's arms and the
fourth, identified as 19-year-old
Power Surcharge
Refunds Under Study
Salem (U.R) The Oregon
State Supreme Court was to take
up the surcharge refund case to
day. Since all case's dealing with
the surcharge are similar the
court will consider them on a
combined basis.
The hearing grew out of an
appeal from the public utilities
commissioner's ruling that cus
tomers were not entitled to re
funds of surcharges paid during
the power "brownout" in the
fall of 1951 and early winter of
1952.
Certain customers of each of
the major power companies in
Oregon have filed for refunds of
the 20 and 11 per cent surcharges
imposed at that time.
