Lawmakers Pondering
Issue Of How Far To l‘
Raise Price Supports
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3—(AP)—
The politically explosive farm pro
gram Wwas scheduled for Senatei
debate today.
The major problem facing law
makers: How far should the gov=-
ernment go in supporting farm
pru'cs?
Refore the Senators is a com
promise bill worked out by a
Genate Agriculture Subcommittee
headed by Senator Anderson (D.-
N.M.), former Secretary of Agri-
Julture, |
1t would set up a flexible sys
tem of government-backed price
supports which would come down
as crop supplies went up. In
principle it is much like the Aiken
Law assed by the Republican con
trolled 80th Congress, although
Congress
Roundup
the Anderson—
measure calls for
somewhat higher
price suppo:ts.
Some Send=————————
tors, both Democrat and Republi
can, want higher supports for
basic czops. Both parties want to
nleasfi;g farmers.
Sen Elmer _Thomas (D.-
Okla.) said he plans to offer the
program of Secretary of Agricul
re Brannan as a substitute for
he Anderson Bill. Brannan’s plan
vould support storable basic com=
modities but would permit prices
f perishable commodities to drop
io a free market level, Then the
svernment would pay direct sub
idies to farmers to make up part
f this drop.
The House voted down the
Brannan plan two months ago. The
senate Agriculture Committee pi
eonholed it.
President Truman made politi
-1 hay of the farm program in his
lected campaign last year. Farm
cgislation has criss crossed party
ines, and some predict that Sen
ite debate is almost certain to
aise a bumper crop of headaches.
On the other side of Capitol Hili,
‘he House took up miscellaneous
ills. The next major measure
here may be Social Security —
u3sibly tomorrow. o
Soeial Security. '
The House Rules Committee will
‘ecide today on whether social se=
urity will be debated this session
r next year, as the Senate plans.
Two Republican congressmen
;:aid Democratic leaders had prom=-
ised not to bring up social security
now, but Speaker Rayburn (D.-
lexas) says the Democratic lead
ership never made any such agree
ment. .
Meanwhile, a fifth emergency
appropriation bill was being draft

cade mountains. He suffered 13 rib fractures and a pune
tured lung when his frightened horse feli and rolled on

His chance of full recovery,
however, appeared excellent to
day. Doctors attending him at a
Yakima hospital said his condi-‘

17 Die As Speeding Train
Crashes Into Crowded Bus
Death Scene Is Compared
With Iwo Jima Beachhead
ONTARIO, CALIF., Oct. B—(AP)~—A racing passenger
strain ripped into a U. S. air force bus at a crossing last
night, killing 17 of the 22 occupants,
Eleven of the dead were military or civilian personnel
from March air base; five were members of the Ontario
Hostess’ club——a service organization—the other was
the chaperone, Mrs. Ruby McLaughlin, 45, mother of one
of the dead girls, Juanita McLaughlin, 18,
~ Chief Deputy Coroner Edward
P. Doyle said only five, including
twin sisters sitting in different
parts of the bus, escaped alive. It
was hours before officers could
draw & coherent picture from sur
vivors. Earlier estimates of the
injured ran as high as 24, and po
lice at one time said 19 bodies had|
been accounted for. |
Acetylene torches finally cut
away the mangled wreckage from|
the battered locomotive, and the
train headed East more than four
hours late.
The bus came from March Air
Force Base, 40 miles east of here,
and carried military and civilian
personnel, their wives and girl|
friends homebound from a day at|
the beach. No one on the bus was
unhurt, but no one was injured
aboard the train, the Union Paci
fic’'s Pony Express eastbound to
Chicago. The railroad said the|
train was traveling 70 miles an[
hour. Engineer Al Hall declared;
“I didn’t see a thing” before the
crash.
Bodies Scattered
An ambulance driver, ex-Ma
rine Dick Klenhard, said the
bloody wreck scene reminded him
of Iwo Jima’s beachhead-—‘“there
were dead and Injured every-|
where.”
Survivors included Omega and
Marquita Pearce, 18-year-old
twins from Ontario. Omega re
ceived a broken ankle, Marquita
cuts and bruises, She said she was
sitting on the rear seat with Char
les Plevniak.
“I heard a screarrlx:k‘Look, out!’
“The next thing new, some
men~v£m pickivg ..3?’ ; up™
Plevniak was taken to naval hos
pital at Long Beach with under
termined injuries., His condition
was described as serious.
Marquila said her sister was
several seats up in the bus.
Sgt. Peter Grisolia, (77 Skill
man St.) Brooklyn, N. Y., said:
“All I could see was that fright
ening big light on the front of the
train. I could see myself being
hurled toward the wheels. But I
didn’t reach them, thank God.”
Eyewitness Account
Nearly a mile of the railroad
right-of-way—some 30 miles east
of Los Angeles—was strewn with
bodies, some decapitated and
many mangled. Torches were re
quired to cut one body from the
bus wreckage. Another was pin
ned beneath the diesel locomotive.
What was left of the bus was
wrapped around the engine.
A graphic eyewitness account
came from O. K. Englund of La
Crescenta, Calif., who was driving
on U. S. highway 60, which
parallels the Union Pacific fracks.
Englund sells accident insurance
and has investigated many crashes.
“Suddenly,” he said, “Rocks be
gan hitting my windshield and I
drove_into a big cloud of dust. I
stopped. A fellow was staggering
around, yelling ‘my arm, my arm!’
1 saw one man lying against a post,
bones sticking out from his body,
There were pieces of bodies scat
tered everywhere. Pieces of the
bus were scattered around, none
so big you couldn’t lifi them.
“I came upon a girl, naked from
the waist up and bleeding badly.
I helped lift a man half buried
in the sand.
“T must have seen about 15 peo
ple lying around, and there were
only five of them alive.” |

as an arrow at the Texas coast to
day, armed wiith 90-mile winds

CAB Probes
L. A. Crash
I.OS ANGELES, Oct. 3—(AP)—
The Civil Aeronautics Board today
is investigating whether the plane
which crashed in a busy midtown
boulevard, killing crooner Buddy
Clark, may have been overloaded.
‘ Five others, including Sam
Hayes, top West Coast NBC news
caster, were injured in the crash
Saturday night. The plane was
returning from the Stanford-Mich
igan football game at Palo Alto
when its gas supply ran out.
James N. Peyton, regional CAB
chief, said:
“Two-engine Cessnas of that
type usually carry a pilot and four
passengers. This plane was carry
ing five passengers. We are invest
igating the possibility of whether
the plame may have been over
loaded.”
Hayes, 44, suffered minor in
juries. Hayes' wife, Sally, 28, suf
fered leg injuries. Frank Berend,
56, National Broadcasting sales ex
ecutive, sustained head injuries.,
and Jennings Pierce, 52, also an
NBC executive, suffered a brain
concussion. All were reported in
“satisfactory” condition.
Clark, 38, was a top recording
and radio artist. In recent years,
he starred on his own NBC pro
gram “The Contented Hour” and
previously on the “Hit Parade.”
“The Contented Hour” switched
this season to the Columbia Broad
casting System and Clark was to
have made his CBS network de
but last night. The show was can~
celed until a successor could be
named.

Steel sources, both company officials and pickets at

purpose of reviving negotiations,
Steelworkers are losing almost
$7.000,000 a day in wages.
Some 80,000 anthracite (hard
coal) diggers ended two weeks of
idleness in eastern Pennsylvania.
And 22,000 soft ocoal diggers
trooped back to mines in Western
States. Both groups acted in res=-
ponse to return-to-work instruc
tions from Lewis, who said their
further inaction “is not now vital
tc pending negotiations.”
It’s a morale booster iror Amer
ica’s householders since virtually
all of the coal mined by the re
turning 102,000 is used for home
heating.
Coal-using industry, however,
must continue to bite into a 46-
day supply of bitummous stock=
piled above ground.
6-Week Supply
How much steel is available?
about enough for four to ®ix
weeks. :
The double-barreled steel-coal
strike — it idled 513,000 CIO steel~
workers and nearly 400,000 soft
coal miners — made big dents in
America’s econcmy. -
If it continues another month
the over-all loss in wages and
sales expected to reach a billion
dollars. +
All told 53 basic steel plants and
50 iron ore mines in 27 states are
shut tight. That's 94 per cent of
the nation’s steel mills. A handful
of companies, notably American
Can Company with 15,600 workers
i 28 plants, agreed to union terms,
A few companies witn indepen
dent unions also are operating.
But a-new siiike ini€at hangs
like a sword of Camocles over in
dustrial America. The Steelwork
ers’ Union has 50,000 more mem
bers working in 700 steel fabrica
ting plants from coast to coast.
Their contracts start running
out Oct. 15. And the union says
the men will quit work unless
management grants free pensions
and free insurance.
Historic Strike
Never before in the nation’s his
tory have coal mines and steel
mills been struck together. Both
are basic industries, vital to con
tinued production of nearly every
necessity — from refrigerators to
baby carriages to hairpins,
Philip Murray, CIO United
Steelworker president, called his
men out on the picket line, He
wants company-paid pensions and
social insurance. And he says his
men will strike until they get
them.
“We'll take nothing less,” Mur
ray said after flashing the strike
signal.
Lewis didn’t order any strike—
but his men quit work, anyway,
on Sept. 19 after the bushy-brow=
ed miner chieftain announced sus
pension of payments from the
mine workers’ pension and wel
fare fund. He said the fund was
nearly broke because some south
ern operators failed to pay their
20-cents-a-ton royalty.
The unceratin peace in the
Pensylvania soft coal tieids, where
some non-union pits have contin
ued working, was broken by
week-end gun fire.
. Clyburn said he followed Keni- |
| mer as he fled by private plane |
{to Cuba, Haiti, Mexico, Puerto;
| Rico, the Dominican Revublic, and |
| then to Now York, the Carolinas, |
Texas and back to Charleston, S.I
o
l Kenimer, Webb said, notified |
his office Saturday through one of |
thl attorneys, Roy Harris of Au- |
gusta, that he was willing to re- |
turn to Atlanta. He said bond of |
$5,000 would be set for Kenimer |
| when he reached Atlanta. ’
; . Another attorney, William 8.
Pope of Charleston, estimated
Jthat Kenimer’s flight bhad . cost
I'nim about $25,000. |

By The Associated Prese
Russia has broken with the Na«
tionalist government in China and
given recognition to the Chinese
Communist regime.
This blow tc the Nationalist
government had been expected. In
New York T. F. Tsiang, chief Chiw
nese Nationalist delegate im the
United Nations General Assembly,
said:
“This so-called ple’s repube
lic of China (the (!om'mmfl £OVe
ernment), being the child of ?;
viet Russia, would jaturally
recognized by its father.”
The Chinese Nationalists have
presented a complaint to the U. N,
charging the Russians with backe
ing the Communists ian China's
civ? l\;{ar. The Asnomblg'. over So‘-
vie oc opposition, wvoted
debate the charge. :
Britain announced m
she is ready to discuss I

The countries concerned include
the United States and the othey
member nations of the North Ate
lantic alliance and the members

In a separate diplomatic action
Russia accused the western allies
of trying to split Germany by sete
ling up * = new west German gove
ernment at Bonn. T
A Soviet note, delivered to the
representatives of the three west
ern powers in Moscow, charged the

and Hungary already had followed
the lead of Russia in cenouncing
their alliances with Tito's governe
ment,
There were unconfirmed reports
in Belgrade that Tito was shifting
his troops from western Yug:sln—
via to the eastern borders facing
Hungary and Romania.
Ne War Fear
There appears to be ro fear in
Belgrgde that actual wer is ime
niinent.. The Yugosiavs realize,
however, that the Soviet satellites
are unitel in a diplomatic-econo=
mic effort to oust Tito’s regime.
A Yugoslav government spokes
man charged Russia with “dictae
tion and interference” in the do
mestic affairs of Cominunist sate
ellite nations. .
Meanwhile, a new effort to end
the conflict between Greece and
her Comrnunist northern neighbors
gets underway in the United Na

A four-member Balkan concilig=
