This Sunday Enjoy BREAKFAST at the Hotel Medford Dining Room CHILDREN ALWAYS WELCOME Leaders View Pad As Stroke Vhich May Have Impact Washington EPD Con gressional foreign policy lead ers Saturday viewed the joint U.S. - Ghana declaration on Mideast policy as a diplomatic stroke likely to have a pro West impact on other Asian African neutral nations. They regarded it as a sign that President Eisenhower was striving to "take the ini tiative" in negotiations with 1 Russia at . the forthcoming United Nations summit con ference. -. Sen. Mike Mansfield (Mont), Assistant Democratic Leader and a U.N. deleaate designate, told United Press International that Ghana Prime Minister Kwane Nkru mah's endorsement of the U.S. position should "serve as a guide" to all nations, includ ing Russia. Wholesome Effect Key GOP members of the Senate Foreign Relations com mittee also hailed the devel opment as one with a prob able "wholesome" effect. Nkrumah, winding up a state visit as the first head of the world's newest republic, joined with President Eisen hower in a statement which: Asserted the United States wants to withdraw its marines from Lebanon as soon as the U.N. can act to "assure the independence and terri torial integrity of the state." Soluniion to Crisis Agreed that the solution of the Middle East crisis would be "found within the framework of the United Na tions in a manner which will preserve the independence and territorial integrity of all member nations, whether large or small." This was an endorsement of the U.S. stand on how the forthcoming Mid east summit talks in New York should be conducted. Sen. Alexander Wiley senior Republican on the For eign Relations committee, said "the effect of the Eisenhower-' Nkrumah statement on people who think should be very wholesome." Wiley said some small na tions have been "propagan dized into believing we have been in the same business as the Kremlin, but there is no evidence of that character. Two Killed When Freight Crashes Into Second Train Imlay, Nev. (DPD A speeding freight train ploughed into the rear section of another freight in ' the Southern Pacific yards here Saturday killing two men who were trapped in the flam ing wreckage of the diesel locomotive. An SP spokesman said about 60 cars of the two trains were smashed into splintered wreckage.. Tire three-unit diesel unit' of the moving freight began to blaze seconds after the crash and soon fire was roaring along the line of broken cars. Dead Identified The dead were identified as Engineer J. W. Baber, 52, of Sparks, Nev.. and fireman George Martinez, 39,of Reno Brakeman Darrell Jorgensen, 45, of Sparks, riding in a rear unit of the diesel, was hospit alized with a broken collar bone and shock. The SP said the wreck oc curred shortly before 6 a.m. (PST) in clear weather. The moving train was eastbound about 35 mph on the main line when it collided with the second freight which was pulling out onto a siding. L. C. 'Christensen of Reno, conductor of the first train, was riding in the caboose as he heard the oncoming train. He and his crew jumped to safety and watched helplessly as the mile-long freight, em ergency brakes scheeching, moved steadily toward de struction. Stanley Diedrichsen of Sparks, conductor on the moving train, described it as "the worst wreck I've ever seen." The Army is studying the use of nuclear power to pro pel a railway locomotive, sev eral types of harbor and in land watercraft, and the so called trackless land train. fg SCENE OF DESTRUCTION A U.S. Air Force jet bomber lies amid wreckage of seven homes which were destroyed when it crashed into a Japanese village near Johnson Air Force Base in Japan.

Washington (DPD The United States has warned the Soviet Embassy in Washing ton that it is violating diplo matic procedure by sending propaganda material to Con gress and government ,agen cies without channeling it through the State Depart ment. Officials said Saturday that the embassy has ignored the warnings so far and another is under consideration. Deputy Under Secretary of State Robert Murphy two weeks ago told Russian Am bassador Mihail A. Menshi- kov that Soviet propaganda literature addressed Jo mem bers of Congress and any other branch of the U.S. Gov ernment should be sent to the State Department for distri bution. The warning was made to the envoy after several con gressmen complained about a flood of hostile material their offices were receiving from the embassy. Under diplomatic proce dure if an embassy consistent ly violates established cus toms the final recourse is to declare the ambassador un welcome and ask his govern ment to call him home. How ever, there were no indica tions that the situation here was anywhere near approach ing that point. At the beginning of 1958, there were approximately 4.2 million telephones in New England, about 6.8 per cent of all phones in the country; the regional total was broken down to 3,055,000 residential installations and 1,149,000 business telephones.
