' - . . . - RECORD PENETRATION It looks like the U.S. Navy's icebreaker Glacier has a job ahead as the vessel inches through a pas sage in the ice-topped water off Antarctica. The Glacier retreated westward from the Bellinghausen Sea to avoid possibility of being trapped by the heavy ice pack moving in behind it. The Glacier reached the deep est penetration of the Bellinghausen Sea ever made by a ship 71.53 degrees south latitude and 95.44.2 degrees west longitude before heading toward the Amundsen Sea area. The previous record penetration was made in 1821 by Russian Capt. Thaddeus Bellinghausen, who reached a latitude of 69 degrees 52 minutes. The Belgian ship Bel gica later equalled the mark. Herb Grey, advertising manager of the Medford Mail Tribune, is aboard the Glacier as a guest of the Navy. (UPI Telephoto) 47 Known Dead, 88 Persons Hurt In Algeria Quake Setif, Algeria-(UPD-At least 47 persons were known dead today in the earquake which shook the rugged mountains of eastern Algeria early Sun day.

Saw 'Flash of Light' Arab villagers said they "hpard the mountains roar and saw a blinding flash of light" when the quake start ed. The terrifying sound of the trembling mountains was the "roar" they heard, but French officials believed the "blinding light" may have been the effects of fear.

Medford Tribune Regional Edition Page 2A Italian Government Collapse Expected In Matter of Days Rome - (UPI) - The Liberals withdrew over the week end from Premier Antonio Segni's shaky parliamentary major ity, and it appeared possible today that the government might fall in a matter of days. The Premier, who is said to be determined to resign, was expected to call a cabinet meeting to decide the future course of his year-old regime. Showdown Sought The Liberals pulled out of the government bloc in Par liament in an attempt to force a showdown with the left wing of Segni's Christian Democratic party, which has been edging toward an alli ance with Pietro Nenni's left wing Socialists. They want the premier to hold a parliamentary debate in which each party would be asked to clarify its position in Italy's complicated political lineup. The Liberals have charged that Segni himself is "looking to the left" even though it is the rightist splinter parties in Parliament that have kept him in power. The premier went today to ex-Premier Adone Zoli's fu neral, and he was expected to accompany the body to Zoli's home town of Predappid in northern Italy. Such a trip would defer action in the po litical crisis at least until Tuesday.

Measure t Money Bills Washington (UPD Pros pects increased today that the Senate might set aside the civil rights issue temporarily and work on high-priority ap propriations bills. Chairman Carl Hayden (D. Ariz.) of the appropriations committee has said he does not think the civil rights de bate should be allowed to block action on the all-important money bills. The likelihood of an inter ruption in the hot and heavy Senate civil rights debate arose on the heels of a fore cast that the House would pass its own bill by March 15. Bombs Fall Near Castro's Residence Havana - (UPD - An unidenti fied small plane dropped four bombs near Premier Fidel Castro's beach villa at Coji mar Sunday and escaped. Cas tro apparently was not in his beach house at the time. At least three of the bombs were believed to have fallen in the sea. Four loud explos ions were heard and a petty officer at the navy radio sta tion in Cojimar Castle said it was believed the "bombs" were mortar shells of the type that explode on contact. The petty officer said he was one of several military men who opened fire on the mystery plane. Observers said that the Pre mier's visits to the Cojimar villa were never announced in advance and that if the at tack were staged with the idea of killing him it would be a matter of pure guess work to find him there.

S Your Fevritt Efcctrical Lagu Deafer ecu ore Assistant House Republican Leader Leslie C. Arends (111.) has predicted that the House would beat down Southern op position and approve what he called "meaningful" civil rights legislation by mid March. Arends' statement strength ened the strategy adopted by Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (Tex.) of waiting for the House to act first on the touchy election year issue. Senate GOP Leader Everett M. Dirksen (111.), however, has urged that the Senate beat the House to the punch by approving its own bill. In spite of his apparent wishes to sidetrack the civil rights action in the Senate until next month, Johnson has announced the Senate would continue the debate, which has bogged down the upper chamber for a week, today despite the usual procedure of recessing after a Washing ton's birthday reading of the first president's Farewell Ad dress. The House met at noon to hear Rep. Charles H. Brown (D-Mo.) read the 7,641-word address on the 228th anni versary of Washington's birth.

Buick gets rid of heat faster by using fin-cooled brake drums. On the front wheels, where most of the braking is done, the drums are aluminum. They cost more to make but they shrug off heat much faster than drums made of ordinary metal. Buick is the only American car that makes them standard, at no extra cost, because you will be safer with them. Best time to buy a Buick '60 is now because you will get top dollar on your old car and have a wide selection of colors and body styles from which to. choose.
