" ICC Biames Defective Brakes For Fatal Dunsmuir Accident WASHINGTON i - The Inter slate Commerce Commission said Monday a complete failure of "seriously defective brake sys tern led to the spectacular down hill runaway of a tractor-trailer at Dunsmuir. Calif., last July 12, Racing into the town at 75 miles per hour, the heavily loaded ve hicle hit 12 automobiles and four buildings, killing two persons and injunne cutht.

"The driver involved did not possess the minimum physical and experience qualifications re quired of drivers of vehicles interstate commerce required by this commission. The ICC said "appropriate en fnrccmcnl action will be insti tuted," but declined to elaborate. The Dunsmuir accident involved a vehicle owned and operated by Cecil Payne Supply Co, of Tucson, Ariz. At the time, it was trans porting a 76,000-pound load of ply wood from Albany. Ore., to the Tucson area.

ONE I l-j"T YARD j ' 24"-30" I) Of 0 Dean Gives Talk At T Meet "Changes within the next 40 to 50 years will come with kaleido scopic rapidity. Dr, William L. Jones, dean of administration at the University of Oregon and president of the Pacific Northwest Area Council of the YMCA, told the seventh annual Klamath Coun ty YMCA Banquet Monday night. Delving back into his own life time, he stated that as a youth he recalled an airplane was held together with piano wire and chew ing gum. 'Last week," he said, "I had an opportunity to ride in one of the Air Force's slower jets at 550 miles per hour." The doctor stated that this rap id cycle will hold many problems for our youth and it is the func tion of the YMCA to bring youth to grips with their problems and with themselves. Discussing "What The Future Holds For Youth," Jones' said our youth face a tuturc c( apprehen sion and anticipation and that in terpretation of the future can be accomplished only by examining the past. One reason perhaps why youth is uncertain, he said, is that our country itself has not quite made up its mind the direction it will take in the world. He added that the world is not going to become a peaceful com munity merely by building a hier archy, but he added"'a note of hope, saying that it will be "If there arc people with the same basic purposes," who will cooper ate with each other. "If some mad man wanted to he could start a war at al most anytime," the doctor said, and added that he believed that perhaps one of the reasons this has not been done is because of the good will the YMCA has creat ed in many out of the way places. The doctor was referring to a recent trip around the world he made for the government and the university to investigate problems the university must face when it begins a school sysfbm in Nepal. Jones told the gathering that in several countries he visited, many of the school systems were for those who could afford them and the YMGA is providing the only public schooling tor all. The doctor was principal speak er at the banquet which featured reports of two local youths who told of the recent Youth Confer ence held on the campus of Mi ami University. Ohio. In addition, slides of the YMCA Summer Camp were shown and cards were passed out to several members who have served the organization. Red Military Chief Booted HONG KONG (-Marshal Liu Po-chang, Red China's "one-eyed Dragon" and top military strate gist, has been replaced as super intendent of training for the Chi nese armed forces. This was disclosed in a brief announcement in the official Pei- ping People's Daily reaching Hong Kong today. The announcement said only that Chairman Mao Tze-tung has appointed Gen. Hsiao Ke training superintendent. It gave no indica tion of Liu's future nor any rea son for the change. Observers in Hong Kong thought it unlikely Liu has fallen into dis favor. Liu, 66, is one of only about a dozen marshals of the Red Chi nese army. He is also a member of the Communist Party Central Committee and the Politburo and holds several other posts. There was no suggestion he was stripped of any of these.
