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)

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.

Civil

k Favor off All-imoortaei
Rights. 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.

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

Buick's fin-cooled Aluminum Drums get
rid of heat quicker so you're safer!
Brakes generate their own worst enemy terrific heat. Excessive heat is bad
because it may cause brakes to lose part of their effectiveness. So the faster you
can dissipate it, the better off you are.
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. You can
own a quality Buick for less than you might think, and your Buick Dealer can
arrange terms to suit your budget.
