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.

in the air, a feeling of not being
told about the situation at home
and abroad."
He said the people of the Un
ited States were not being told
the truth about foreign affairs
and all controversial domestic
issues.
Stevenson is currently cam
paigning in California in a bid

N inspires PUBLIC CONFIDENCE
ELMO SMITH is a man of action! He had been m office leet the
a month when he ordered reorganization of the Liquor Commissi
with instructions that the OLCC "must earn and deserve public

When vice rackets threatened Portland he first made sure of she
facts, then moved decisively ordering the Attorney General to
make a grand jury investigation which he insisted be free from
any political coloring.
