Casey Jones Honored at i
Anniversary Fete
JACKSON, Tenn., W) — Bands
played and citizens wore red ban
danas and railroad caps Saturday
as Jackson observed the 60th an
niversary of the death of Casey
Jones.
Casey — actually John Luther
Jones of Cayce, Ky. — died when
his “Cannonball Express” rammed
a freight train at Vaughan, .Miss.,
in a railroad wreck immortalized
by a popular song.
The “Ballad of Casey Jones”
was one of the numbers planned
by high school and military bands
on a parade through town, with
railroad officials and political no
tables backing up the music with
speeches.
Casey Jones’ home is now a
railroad museum that includes,
among other things, the “whip
poor-will” steam whistle that was
on his locomotive.

PORT ELIZABETH, South Af

backed by armored cars, arrested
about 450 Negroes in a big raid
Friday on the nearby African
settlements of New Brightop and
Kwazakele. This brought to about

defying South Africa’s white su
premacy laws.
Margaret Orders Simple
Gown for Wedding
NEW YORK, UPI — Princess
Margaret’s dress for her wedding
next Friday will be “monastical”
in its simplicity, wih no embroid
ery and no decoration, the Wo
men’s Wear Daily said today in
a London dispatch.
The trade newspaper said it
had learned from a source close
to Buckingham Palace that the
future Mrs. Antony Armstrong
Jones,wants a fitted waist.
She reportedly ordered a white
silk organdie dress with very mod
est V neckline and three-quarter
length sleeves. The skirt is slight
ly full, forming a short train.
Princess Margaret has selected
from the royal family jewels a
hinged diamond diadem to wear
with a classical tulle veil, the
newspaper said.
'NATURE' flF THE MATERIAL
MIAMI, Fla., OP) — The white
bathing suit fitted perfectly.
Marjorie Currie was sure she’d
got her $29.95 worth as she
splashed happily in the surf.
But when she glanced down —
“upon becoming wet, the bathing
suit became completely transpar
ent, exposing the body to the view
of all the numerous bathers and
the loungers in the approximate
vicinity,” she complained Friday
in a $5,000 suit against Babs, Inc.,
which sold her the garment.
The 26-year-old Washington,
D. C., secretary said no one
warned her about the “nature of
the material and characteristics
of the fabric.”

DeGaulle Returns
To French Soil
CAYENNE, French Guiana, (M
— French President Charles De
Gaulle arrived back on French
territory Saturday after visits to
Canada and the United States.
His big 707 jet airliner flew here
from New Orleans, the last stop .
in the United States.
De Gaulle will visit Martinique
and other French possessions be
fore returning to Paris Wednesday.
His 24-hour visit at New Orleans
once the capitol of French colo
nies in the New World, was an
overwhelming success. He and
Mme. De Gaulle captivated the
city. Thousands fought to shake
his hand.
In his only major speech here
— before 1,100 guests at a $15-a
plate luncheon — the French
President said he did “not want
to allude here to the political
talks that I have had wth the
President and the administration
of the United States.” But he said
he leaves the country impressed
with “the evidence and depth of
France-American friendship.”
Louisiana Governor Earl Kemp
Long, who sat at the speakers’
table only a few feet from De
Gaulle, apparently couldn’t resist
clowning to attract atention.
When he got his turn at the
microphone, Long lauded De
Gaulle as one of the “greatest
men the world has ever pro
produced.” He shook hands with
the French leader, donned a flop
py Panama hat and strolled out
of the banquet hall.
De Gaulle thanked Long for his
kind words but added he “unfor
tunately has left us before the
dinner was over.”
