-fin. Driver Who Hif Train With Truck May Face Charges Wsukesha, Wis. (U.R) Au thoritie1- debated today whether to bring charges against a driver who smashed his truck into a special train carrying 1000 base- ball bound school children, in juring more than 100 persons. The truck driver, Gordon Hinkley, 39, Wales, Wis., was the most seriously injured vic tim yesterday. He was pried loose from his smashed cab suf fering from fractures of both legs and the left hand. Pasted Other Trucks Witnesses said he sped his truck past six other trucks, through the crossing signals, and into the 16-car Milwaukee Road diesel train carrying 1000 Por tage, Wis., children to a game between the Milwaukee Braves and the Brooklyn Dodgers. The train, smashed like a tin can between the engine and the first coach, wobbled onwards for two or three blocks until 10 cars toppled off the tracks near the Duplainville, Wis., railroad station No Children Killed Screaming children flew through the air. Some of them hurtled through smashed win dows. Miraculously, none was killed. Deputy Sheriff Pete Roe- landts tried to question Hinkley last night at Waukesha Memor ial hospital. But he was "still groggy from anesthesia and we were not able to get much of a statement from him," he said. There were 37 persons hospit alized today here and at Milwau kee. Two-third of the injured were school children in the sev enth and eighth grades. The rest were teachers or parents. DON'T ARGUE Hartford, Conn. U.R Walter R.
