Five Men Escape
Electrocution in
High Tension Car
CHICAGO, Iff!—Five men yes
terday sweated through 15 min
utes of terror before deciding on
a course of action that probably
saved their lives.
A high-tension wire, snapped
during a heavy thunderstorm, fell
across their convertible in sub
urban Schiller Park, turning it
into a potential electric chair.
The canvas top of the electri
fied vehicle caught fire, but Wil
liam Carnahan, 23, of Wauconda,
111., the driver, managed to press
a button that paused it to roll
down.
Then the tires started burning
and the car paint started blister
ing as the men sat there.
Finally, they stood on the seats
and hopped gingerly to the
ground without touching the car’s
metal sides.

President’s Health
Bitter Exchange on
On Senate Floor
WASHINGTON, ItfN-The presi
dential campaign gathered heat
yesterday as the aftermath of a
bitter Senate floor exchange over
President Eisenhower's health.
Senate Republican Leader
Knowland (Calif> and Sen. Gold
water (R-Ariz> challenged Wed
nesday a speech in which Sen.
McNamara (D-Mich) said presi
dential Press Secretary James C.
Hagerty “is shielding the Ameri
can public from the truth” about
Eisenhower’s health.
McNamara called it “one of the
most masterful suppressions of
the facts ever put across by the
advertising techniques of Madison
Avenue.”
Goldwater took issue with Mc
Namara, saying:
“I deplore the use of the politi
cal technique which has been
used in this body, where it has
been suggested that the President
of the United States is operating
under sedatives, that the Presi
dent does not even know his own
condition.”
McNamara had asked: “But
does any newspaperman point out
that those decisions were made—
if they actually were made—
when the President was still un
der sedatives: when he could not
be making decisions or should not
be if he really was?”
Knowland, his face flushed and
his voice angry, said “It seems to
me that the remarks cast refiction
upon the integrity of the Presi
dent of the medical profession
who have attended the President.”

THE INDIANS ARE COMING !
Man Crippled by
Doctor’s Treatment
Awarded $230,000
SAN FRANCISCO, Wi—A 60
year-old man, permanently crip- |
pled after a doctor had him walk
with a broken hip, was awarded
$230,000 by a superior court jury
Wednesday.
The man is William Friecjman,
buyer for a jewelry store.
His attorney, Marvin Lewis,' ar
gued that Friedman’s left leg is
1V2 inches shorter due to alleged
negligence of Dr. Rudolph Dres
sel. He contended Dr. Dressel, an
orthopedist, failed to order X-ray
pictures of Friedman’s hip, brok
en in a fall in November 1951.
X rays of the knee showed no
injury. Friedman’s pain contin
ued. Dr .Dressel told him the pain
was connected with a recent brain i
operation and prescribed exercise,
Friedman said.
German Paper
Appeals to GIs to
Behave Themselves
HAMBURG, Germany, —One
of Europe’s biggest newspapers
appealed Thursday to GIs in Ger
many to behave themselves.
An unprecedented English-lang
uage editorial on the front page
of Hamburg’s Bild Zeitung—cir
culation 2 Vi million—was the lat
est of a mounting wave of German
protests against attacks on Ger
mans protests against attacks on
Germans blamed on U.S. soldiers.
“Is there something the matter
with you fellows?” the editorial
asked the Americans. “Or is
something the matter with us
Germans?”
To meet the situation, U. S.
Army authorities have ordered
strict enforcement of a curfew
order that enlisted men must be
in their quarters by midnight six
days a week and 1 a.m. Sunday.
The order has been on the books
since April 1955 but apparently
has been widely disregarded.
Gen. Henry I. Hodes, com
mander of the U.S. Army in Eur
ope, said the action was taken to
halt “unfortunate incidents” in
volving American soldiers ahd
German civilians, incidents which
have included robbery, killings
and rape.
