serious condition and several
were in "very critical condi
tion." He said he feared the
death toll would be higher.
Only one occupant of the
bus, 16-year-old Johnny Win
nick,' escaped injury in the
shattering crash that occurred
just 300 yards from the safety
of the school.
The crash was heard by
many of the town's 652 in
habitants and brought them
to the scene on the run.
Dozens of women, many of
them mothers of the victims,
cried hysterically while police
and rescue teams worked for
two hours to remove the dead
and injured from the yellow
1954 model school bus.
Union Official Urged
As Secretary of Labor
Washington -IUPU- A top la
bor leader said today after a
visit with President-elect John
F. Kennedy that he believes
Kennedy should appoint a
union official as his secretary
of labor.
Joseph Keenan, a vice pres
ident of the AFL-CIO and sec
retary of the Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers, also pre
dicted that Kennedy would
not fill the labor post until
after he can talk with AFL
CIO President George Meany
who returns from Europe
Dec. 10. Keenan said that
Meany plans to set up a corn;
mittee of labor officials to
consider a list of eligible men
for a labor secretary and
make recommendations to
Kennedy.
Keenan, who has been men
tioned for the labor post, said
that his statements were not
De Gaulle's Nuclear
Plans Turned Down
Paris (UPD- The French Sen
ate today rejected President
Charles de Gaulle's plan for
an independent nuclear strik
ing force for the second time
in three weeks.
The Senate voted 182-84
against the project, which
twice since Oct. 25 has been
the subject of a vote of con
fidence In the National As
sembly - parliament's lower
house.
The vote this time closely
matched the 186-73 count
against the project in the Sen
ate Nov. 10.
Rejection by ' the Senate
does not kill the bill. If the
Senate had approved it, it
would have become law. Now,
however, it goes back to the
National Assembly. If it is
passed there a third time, it
automatically becomes law.
De Gaulle, meanwhile, de
cided to visit Algeria early
in December despite warnings
from his generals and minis
ters that such a trip would be
dangerous. He was reported
determined to force opposition
to his Algeria policy into the
open.
Fox Hunting
Gets Encouragement
St. Paul, Minn. (UTO The
Minnesota Conservation De
partment, plagued by a steady
increase of the little preda
tors, is out to encourage fox
hunting.
And to help its cause,' the
department sent a biologist
out to experiment with fox
calling. .He found out it works.
Calling proved most suc
cessful in April, May and July
during the last four hours of
daylight. The researcher call
ed up 73 foxes in a series of
401 fifteen-minute calls.
He called up a fox every
based on any information ob
tained from Kennedy during
their brief chat at Kennedy's
home today. He said that nei
ther he nor Kennedy brought
up the subject of any cabinet
appointments.
He was one of five callers
on Kennedy's appointment list
lor the day. The others were
Sen. George A. Smathers, a
close associate of the presi
dent-elect; Rep. Adam Clay
ton Powell, (D-N.Y.), who will
be chairman of the House La
bor and Education Commit
tee, and James M. Landis,
New York, who is conducting
a study of regulatory agencies
for Kennedy.
The fifth caller was John G.
W. Mahanna, a World War II
Navy friend of Kennedy who
is now county editor of the
Berkshire Eagle at Pittsfield,
Mass.
Mahanna was standing out
side the Kennedy home with
newsmen Tuesday when Ken
nedy spotted him and asked
him to call today. Mahanna
said it was a social call.
Smathers, who breakfasted
with the president-elect, re
ported that the selection of top
members of the new adminis
tration is proceeding slowly
because Kennedy is seeking
the best qualified men rather
