14) GIs Killed In
Korean Accident
SEOUL, (£)—Ten U.S. soldiers
of the 24th Division were killed
and 10 were injured, one so crit
ically he may die, in the flaming
crash Saturday of an Army truck
taking them to an airport.
“One more is expected to die,”
an Army source said. Two of the
injured were reported in critical
condition and four others serious
ly injured with burns, cuts and
broken legs suffered in the fiery
accident.
Light-heartedly anticipating a
period of rest and recreation
leave in Japan, the soldiers had
piled their baggage into the big
truck and were heading for Kim
po Air Base, 15 miles northwest
of Seoul.
Suddenly the truck plunged
through the railing of a narrow
bridge and overturned. It landed
in a small stream and caught fire.
Some of the soldiers, pinned by
the truck, apparently burned to
death.
Eight died at the scene of the
accident. One more died on the
way to the hospital and a 10th
at the hospital.
One man escaped injury. He
was believed to be the driver.

Expect 3,000,000
Case Salmon Pack
JUNEAU — Cannerymen are
putting up a 1955 Alaska canned
salmon pack of 3,000,000 cases,
about what they expected for this
year, W.C. Arnold, executive di
rector of the Alaska Salmon In
dustry, Inc., said here recently.
“The size of the pack is what
we anticipated,” he said, “but as
usual in recent years it comes
from other districts than we
looked for.
Arnold said the relatively good
runs in the Kodiak and Summer
Straits areas were pleasant sur
prises, while poor showings in
Bristol Bay and throughout the
Southeast Alaska generally were
somewhat disappointing.
A 3,000,000 case pack would
equal last year’s Arnold said.

‘‘Babe’ Didriekson,
Athlete of Century,
Has Cancer Again
GALVESTON, Tex., • GB — Babe
Didrickson Zaharias, woman ath
lete of the century, has developed
a second cancer but “firmly ex
pects to return to golf.”
George Zaharias, her husband,
said doctors at John Sealy Hospit
al here found a “small cancer le
sion on the right side of the
sacrum (posterior of the pelvic
girdle). He said x-ray treatments
have been started.
Zaharias quoted the doctors as
saying the x-ray treatments will
stop the pain she has been suf
fering in her right hip and leg
in about 10 days. He said no
surgery was contemplated at the
time.
Mrs. Zaharias underwent sur
gery for rectal cancer at Beau
mont in 1953. Her athletic career,
which has spanned more than
two decades and included just
about every sport in the books,
appeared at an end.
However, the operation was be
lieved to have completely re
moved the cancer and the Babe
returned to the tournament trail.
She won several tournaments,
including the National Open last
year.
The Associated Press recently
named her “Woman Athlete of
the Century.”
Earlier this spring she com
plained of pains in her back and
legs and entered the hospital
here in May. She was found to
have a ruptured spinal disc and
underwent corrective surgery.
The surgery failed to stop the
pain and doctors started looking
for new causes. The new cancer
was announced Friday night.
The big ex - wrestler’s voice
softened as he told of breaking
the news to his plucky wife.
“She never flinched when told
she had nother cancer,” he said.
Then he said she added:
“This is my greatest battle.”
In modern steam turbines,
steam is used at temperatures
equal to those which would make
iron glow dull red.
