who will become naturalized

Democrats Urge
Special Session
Washington (IP) The Demo
cratic advisory council said Sat
urday 'night President Eisenhow
er should call a special session
of congress because our military
and-research programs are being
held back because of lack of
funds.
It charged that U.S. air-atomic
superiority over Russia "is rap
idly being lost" "and that the
Western Alliance "is seriously
weak" from years of neglect"
under the Eisenhower adminis
tration. The Democrats called on the
administration to "develop a
greater sense of urgency about
these matters."
"We have fallen behind in . . .
weapons of tomorrow," the
council said in a statement. "We
must do more than merely catch
up. We must become and stay
so strong that the Communists
will not start an atomic war or
allow one to start."
"If our military and research
programs are being held back
because of .lack of funds, a spe
cial session of congress should
be called, requesting the neces
sary additional appropriations
and,if required, the raising of
the debt limit which is today ar
tificially holding back the ex
penditures of money already
approved."
(The debt limit set by congress
is 275 billion dollars. The debt
now stands in excess of 273 bil
lion.) The council also said it be
lieved rivalry between the arm
ed services "is delaying our pro
grams and causing unnecessary
expense." It said "this rivalry
should be put to an end and uni
fied action taken within the de
partment of defense."
New Signals Set
For Operation Soon
The first of three traffic signs
authorized by the city council
recently will go into operation
at Main st. and Keeneway dr.
Monday morning, according to
Vernon Thorpe, public works di
rector. The light, which will be to
assist children from Hedrick
Junior High school and Wash
ington grade school crossing
East Main st, will be the "push
button" type with 24-hour per
day operation. The light will
flash yellow on the Main st. side
with a red flashing light facing
Keeneway dr. until the cycle is
started when the button is push
ed, he said.
When the button is pushed,
the yellow light will show a
steady caution for five seconds
facing Main st. The walk signal
will last for 12 seconds and
another 12 seconds of wait sig
nal before the light facing Main
st. again turns green to permit
cars to move.
Thorpe said installation of two
other lights approved by the
council is under way and com
pletion is expected within a few
weeks.
Report Many Dead
From Train Crash
In French Province
All Victims Noted
As French Citizens
Chantonny, France (IP) A be
hind schedule freight tr a i n
rounding a bend rammed head
on into a light two-coach diesel
express Saturday, slicing open
the lead passenger car for two
thirds of its length.
The state-owned French rail
way system said the bodies of
25 passengers were found in
the wreckage of the small commuter-type
train. Two others
died in hospitals, bringing the
death toll to 27.
Another 20 injured passengers
were being treated in two near
by hospitals.
All victims identified were
French. Most, of them had been
headed for weekend holidays
near here. All the dead were in
the first passenger car, which
was sliced down the middle so
that its light steel-aluminum al
loy sides bracketed both sides
of the heavy steam locomotive.
Invesigiations Made
Railway officials said prelim
inary investigations indicated
the accident occurred because
the express was dispatched from
the station before the last freight
train arrived.
They said the stationmaster
had left for lunch and the man
who replaced him apparently
saw another train in the station
and thought the freight had ar
rived and had been switched to
a siding to allow the express
to pass.
The foce of the collision, the
sixth major rail disaster in
France this year and the second
wreck this week, crumpled the
two-car aluminum and steel pas
senger train around the heavy
engine of the freight.
It was the second travel dis
aster in Europe in 24 hours. Last
night, 43 persons died in the
flaming crash of a British flying
boat on the. Isle of Wight.
Collide On One-Way Track
The passenger train and the
freight colided on a oneway
track while the passenger train
was on a run from La Roche-Sur-Yon
on the Atlantic coast
to Bressuire in Vendee province.
The impact of the light train
and the heavy engine crunched
the two light coaches into a heap
of scrap metal.
Rescue teams from the sur
rounding villages and towns
rushed to the scene. Bodies were
hauled from the wreckage and
brought to the Chantonnay town
hall.
Ambulances rushed he living
to the Chantonnay hospital
where physicians reported many
of them were in critical condi
tion. The state-owned French rail
way (SNCF) sent investigators
and officials to the scene.
The railroad has been under
fire for months with demands
for greater safety.
Carrier Steams Back
With Crash Bodies
Honolulu HP) The Aircraft
Carrier Philippine Sea steamed
for Long Beach, Calif., Satur
day with all that was found of
the ill-fated Pan - American
Stratocruiser "Romance of the
Skies" fire-scarred pieces of
wreckage and the bodies of 19
of its 44 occupants.
A weeklong search was called
off on Friday afternoon when
hope vanished of finding any
survivors or picking up any
more of the wreckage that might
give investigators more clues as
to what happened to the plane
before it crashed into the sea
Nov. 8.
The Navy said none of the 19
recovered bodies had been posi
tively identified and there was
still no explanation as to what
caused the double-decked luxury
aircraft to plunge into the oc
ean on a flight from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu.
However the fact that none of
the recovered bodies wore shoes
and that some of them wore life
jackets indicated that the plane
was in trouble, possibly afire,
and was attempting to ditch
when it crashed.
The condition of the bodies,
all of which had multiple frac
tures, indicated that the plane
slammed into the sea with great
force, killing the eight crew
members and 36 passengers al
most instantly.
Watches found on three bodies
were stopped at 5:27 p.m. p.s.t.
just 23 minutes after the plane
had sent its last routine position
report. .
Stockton, Salif. (IP) A Navy
pilot safely bailed out of his
jet night interceptor Saturday
minutes before it crashed in a
pasture a few miles east of here.

The Bottom Part, Too'
Heavy Expenditures
Reported Involved
In Defense Budget
McElroy Will Fly In
To Augusta, Georgia
Augusta, Ga. OP) President
Eisenhower Saturday called his
Defense Secretary to the vaca
tion White House for an import
ant meeting next week on the
new defense budget which will
involve a "very considerable" in
crease in federal spending.
Secretary Neil H. McElroy
will fly from Washington to Aug
usta for a meeting next Tues
day. He will be accompanied by
W. J. McNeil, Assistant Defense
Secretary and the department's
specialist on budgetary matters.
Both McElroy and McNeil are
on record as interpreting the
president's remarks of last Wed
nesday to mean that spending
for an expanded missile, rocket
and satellite program next year
will result in "not too large an
increase in the total defense
budget."
Cost Said Considerable
The president said Wednesday
night in Oklahoma City that the
added cost of new weapons pro
grams and the expansion of the
Strategic Air Command to addi
tional overseas bases would be
"very considerable."
But the president also said,
"we must once more go over
all other military expenditures
with redoubled determination to
save every dime that can possi
bly be saved."
Press Secretary James C. Hag
erty said the Tuesday meeting
would deal, as other similar con
ferences between the - president
and McElroy have done recent
ly, with not only the new wea
pons program but the search
for spots in the military struc
ture susceptible to stringent ec
onomies. McNeil in a Washington
speech earlier this week fore
cast that the overall increase
in the defense budget would be
small on a "percentage" basis
There have been reports that the
budget might go up one billion
dollars over the 1958 year figure
of $38 billion.
Hagerty Saturday, however,
would not hazard a guess on the
size of the new defense figure,
saying that the conference here
Tuesday would not complete
work on McElroy's5 budget and
additional conferences would be
held in Washington.
