Mishap Occurs
As Scenicruiser
Sideswipes Truck
St. Regis, Mont. - IUPII - The
sheriff's office at Superior,
Mont., said this morning that
at least six persons were kill
ed when a Greyhound bus
collided with a truck and
plunged into the St. Regis riv
er four miles west of here.
A number of persons were
injured.
The accident occurred on
U.S. Hignway 10. Three am
bulances were sent to the
scene of the accident from
Missoula, about 72 miles
southeast of St. Regis.
One of those killed was
the bus driver, J. B. Mayer,
48, of Spokane, Wash., a vet
eran of 20 years driving with
Greyhound. The others were
not identified immediately.
Capacity Load
Richard Brown, 40, Clifton,
Ore., a survivor, said the
Scenicruiser bus was carrying
a capacity load of 43 passen
gers when it side-swiped the
trailer of a grain truck and
plunged front first into the
icy water. He said the front
end was submerged.
Brown, taken to Wallace,
Idaho, by a passing motorist
for treatment, said the entire
front end of the bus was sub
merged in the cold water.
He-estimated that the ve
hicle plunged nearly 100 feet
from U. S. Highway 10 to the
river. He said he was riding
in the front seat of the bus
and it appeared the eastbound
vehicle clipped the trailer of
a westbound grain truck.
People Screaming
"People were screaming
and yelling," Brown said. "I
got out somehow and dragged
myself up the bank."
There, he found Thomas
Atchlcy, Seattle, stopped by
the roadside and asked if he
could get into the man's car
to get warm. Atchlcy brought
Brown to Providence hospital
at Wallace, where attendants
said he had a possible broken
leg and bruises. He also was
thoroughly soaked and chill
ed. Brown said the bus had
been sliding on the icy, wind
ing highway before the acci
dent. Barge, Fishing

Man in Custody
After Crime Spree
Eugene (UPD Edward Dean
Riley, accused of a Lane coun
ty crime spree while trying
to dodge the law Friday night
and Saturday, was in custody
today with bail set at $15,000.
The 22 - year - old Cottage
Grove man surrendered with
out resisting when some sev
en police patrol cars converg
ed on him Saturday afternoon
as he drove through Spring
field. Riley was taken to Lane
county jail and charged with
kidnap and ascault. He was
accused by police of abduct
ing a Cottage Grove officer
and two other persons early
Saturday, and wounding a
Junction City officer.
Massive Manhunt
The actions set off a mas
sive manhunt Saturday in
north Springfield. Police cor
doned off a 30-block area
where a car reported stolen
by Riley was abandoned. A
house to house search was un
dertaken. Some 70 officers
participated.
Riley was taken shortly aft
er a resident in the area re
ported Riley had confronted
him in his barn. The resident
said Riley then ran next door
and took a neighbor's car.
Woman Held
A woman companion, Shir
ley Mae Peterson, 22, was also
held. Miss Peterson was ar
rested when the car was aban
doned in Springfield. Her
bail was also set at $15,000.
Police reconstructed the
events of the night before this
way.
Cottage Grove officer
James Cornell was driving
home with his wife after com
pleting his shift when he ob
served a car in a minor traf
fic violation. He recognized
Riley, wanted for questioning
on a petty larceny warrant,
in the car with Miss Peterson.
Cornell ordered Riley to
follow him to the police sta
tion. Instead, the Riley car
sped away. Cornell pursued it.
The ear crashed outside Cot
tage Grove.
Gun Wrested Away
Cornell, his wife, and a
nearby resident, Ray Harris,
arrived at the scene. Riley
wrestled away Cornell's gun,
then drove the trio in Cor
nell's car to a spot near Cres
wel. '
Riley and Miss Peterson
then proceeded to Junction
City, where officer Dale Kolln
tried to stop them. Kolln was
knocked to the ground by a
bullet that creased his fore
head. Riley and the woman then
proceeded in the policeman's
car to Springfield, where Miss
Peterson was taken and the
search launched for Riley.
Active Dealings
Push Stocks Higher
New York - IUPII - Stocks
climbed a trifle higher in ac
tive early year-end dealings
today, but nearly all moves
among individual issues were
held to fractions.
High speed tickers were
late through the first half
hour of trading under the in
fluence of heavy switching,
tax-loss selling and "window
dressing" by the mutual
funds.
The only blue chip to move
more than a fraction was
Woolworth, which dipped a
point. Leading oils, steels,
chemicals and autos all held
within 'i point of last week's
closing levels.
Bristol-Myers, hurt by an
unfavorable aspirin study, lost
around l5s, and Johnson &
Johnson dipped 1 in the driiRs.
IBM climbed 2' 4. and Pol

Kennedy,
Of Talk To Cuban
Palm Beach, Fla. - (UPD -President
Kennedy and his
staff had an opportunity today
to sift through returns on his
week end speech to Cuban
refugees in Miami where he
seemed to promise new U.S.
encouragement for the over
throw of Premier Fidel Cas
tro. Official activities today
were in something of a pre
New Year's lull. The Presi
dent and his wife planned to
spend New Year's eve at a
dinner dance given by friends,
the Charles B. Wrightsmans.
The chief executive will take
a helicopter to the Orange
Bowl football game in Miami
Tuesday.
From across the country
and up from Latin America,
however, there were reports
for the President's perusal,
indicating a broad range of
reaction to his Saturday
speech.
The setting was conducive
to emotion the stone-serious
faces of the men of Bri
gade 2506, the Cuban refugee
outfit-captured in the 1961
Bay of Pigs invasion. About
40,000 relatives, friends and
well-wishers filled half of the
stadium behinc. the brigade.
The President said several
things which fanned high the
hopes of Cuban refugees for
a not-too-distant return to
their homeland. These same
passages whipped Communist
outlets in Russia and Cuba
into new cries of "aggression"
and "act of war" against this
country.

presented their beloved battle

Winter's Fury
Continues Sting
In British Isles
London - (UPD - Britain's
worst winter storm in 15
years brought the nation to a
New Year's Eve standstill to
day. More snow was expected to
day, although a slight thaw
threatened floods in soma
areas. Highway officials, sur
veying drifts whipped up by
88-mile-per-hour winds, pre
dicted, "It's going to be a grim
New Year's Eve."
Snow, ice and winds struck
the rest of Europe, pushing
the toll in the eight-day
freeze-up to 562 persons killed
in auto accidents, drownings,
asphyxiations and freezing.
Paralyzing Effect
France led with 179 deaths,
followed by Britain with 148,
Germany with 66, Italy with
57 and Holland with 41.
For Britain, which spends
most of the year in mild if
somewhat disagreeable wea
ther, the effect of the 20-foot
snow drifts and gale force
winds was paralyzing.
Roads were only partially
cleared. Suburban trains ran
skeleton services at best.
Airport Closed
London Airport was shut
down tight and the trust
worthy Southern Region Rail
way, which services the south
suburban area of London, col
lapsed completely Sunday
night for the first time in
years when drifts blocked
main routes.
The snowstorm was cen
tered in western and southern
England, which officials said
was "like an arctic snow
field." Snow covered almost all ot
Western Europe, crested the
Iron Curtain and extended all
the way across the Soviet
Union. Radio Moscow said
residents of Vladivostok "for
the first time in their lives
had to ski to work."
