Stack Of 'Must' Bills Kills

WASHINGTON, Mny 24 MP) A
thick slnck of "must" bills cast a
dnrk shadow today over plans of

gin night acsalpns later in an effort
to Jam through a bundle of contro

how can avoid the tisunl session-end

that they will bo able only to recess

national conventions and then re

hnve to be passed before the new

Ihe money bills will be the one

Fatality The accident brought

Killed Instantly were Mrs. Ruby
Augusta Crump of Coos Bay and
Mrs. Ellrn Huffman, Fort Jones,
Calif. The injured are Alfred Je
rome Crump and Rodney Earl
Schneider, both of Coos Bay, and
Norman Benjamin Huffman, Fort
Jones.
The Crump car was heading north
toward Klamath Falls, state police
said, whep It swung out to pass a
second vehicle and crashed' into the
Huffman sedan which was traveling
south.
William Parker, 4341 Austin, who
witneased the accident, said that the
Crump car swerved in
lo the right-hand traf
fic lane to pass his car.
Parker's vehicle was
untouched in the wreck.
The impact crushed
Ihe front end of both cars and
threw Mrs. Crump out on the pave
ment. Her husband and Schneider
were knocked unconscious but re
mained in the car which caught fire
and smouldered until other motor
ists and a state patrolman put out
the fire. The county lire truck was
sent out.
Huffman, driving, was crumpled
by the steering wheel ot his car and
suffered a broken left knee and f rax
tured ribs. Mrs. Huffman's head
smashed the windshield and she was
pinned in the front seat of the car.
Apparently she died Instantly but
her body was not removed until
about 11 o'clock, an hour after the
accident.
The three Injured were brought
to Klamath Valley hospital by am
bulance and the bodies of the
women were brought to Ward's Fu
