Five Die
As Truck,
Bus Crash
ST. REGIS, Mont. (UPI) - It
was the last day of 1062 and the
last words uttered by Greyhound
bus driver J. B. Mayer, 54, .of
Spokane, Wash., were "Good
God, we're going to hit him.
Five others died when the
bus collided with a loaded grain
truck on an icy stretch of U.S
10 four miles west of here and
plunged into the icy St. Regisl
River.
Killed besides the bus driver
were the relief driver of the
truck, Jacob Hoff, 44, Sunnyside,
Wash., and four bus passengers.
They were Jane McDaniel, 15,
Ennis, Mont, Mrs. Cecile Mc-
IClaughlin, 50, Livingston, Mont
.George Homburger, about 40,
New York City, find Ronald L.
Bakken, U.S. Army. The bodies
were taken to Missoula, 72 miles
east of the accident scene in
western Montana.
Seven others were hospitalized
Mayer had been a driver for
Greyhound for 17 years. His bus,
loaded to capacity, was eastbound
from Seattle to Chicago and in
termediate points. The truck was!
. westbound to Sunnyside, Wash,
from Great Falls where the refri
gerated van had been loaded.
Hoff was in the sleeper com
partment of the huge semi-trailer
' rig. The driver of the truck, Don
ald Scott Miller, 31, of Sunnyside,
was not injured.
The accident occurred about
dawn on a sloping curve which
was glazed with ice.

shored up with large slabs of
rock. It landed on its right side in
the icy water. I

Said 'Hoax'
A rcrt that Raymond Hoover,

tor unlawful flight to avoid prose
cution, was killed in an auto
mobile accident near Modesto
Calif., has proved to be a hoax.

the Herald md News Monday,
Sheriff Britton said the county
jailer received a telephone call
allegedly from the Stanislaus
County coroner early Monday in
which it was reported that Hoovcrj
was fatally injured in an accident
that morning.
A sheriff's deputy who contacted
the Stanislaus County sheriff to
verify the report and request that
lingerprints be taken from the
body learned that no fatal acci
dent had occurred in that area.
Hoover was to have appeared
in the circuit court of Judge Da
vid R. Vandcnbcrg Dec. 10 to
stand trial for the thclt of a ve
hicle he allegedly stole last sum
mer from Jim Easloy of this city.
Judge Vandenberg ordered that
bail posted by Hoover in the
amount of $3,XX bo forfeited when
the defendant failed to apttcar in
court on Dec. 10. Soon alter, in
formation received by the sheriff!
indicated that Hoover had been
n San Francisco and later Los

Secretary W. Willard Wirtz, long
shoremen and shippers took a
brief vacation today from talks
aimed at ending the costly strike
that closed East and Gulf Coast

The International Longshore

But the picketing resumes again

negotiations between the ILA and
the New York Shipping Associa

Wirtz said he "asked the two
sides to re-evaluate their po
sitions" during the short recess
which he called Monday, when
both the ILA and NYSA refused to
budge on the key issue of fringe
benefits.
The two sides met sepaintely
and then informed Writz of the
continuing deadlock, which trig
gered the walkout on Dec. 23.

Foreign Ship
Use Okayed
WASHINGTON (UPD- A Fed
eral Maritime Administration ex
aminer Monday recommended
suspending U.S. shipping laws to
permit an additional two Tacoma,
Wash., firms to use foreign-flag
vessels for lumber shipments to
Puerto Rico.
They are Heidner and Co. and
Windsor Co.
' Of six favorable recommenda
tions forwarded to the commerce
secretary so far only one has been
acted on. On Dec. 14, Secretary
Luther Hodges suspended the
coastwise shipping laws for Geor
gia-Pacific Corp. of Portland. Ore.
Georgia Pacific, and other ap
plicants, have invoked a 1962
amendment to the shipping laws
which permits suspension for a
one-year period for lumber ship
ments to Puerto Rico from any
mainland, U.S. port. The amend
ment permits suspension and use
of foreign-flag ships only when
U.S. vessels are not "reasonably
available."
Pacific Northwest lumbermen
say they must be allowed to ship
aboard cheaper foreign-flag ves
sels to compete effectively with
Canada for world markets.
