economy such as automobile pro
duction.
In his talks to the Siberian
crowds, Khrushchev has constant
ly associated President Eisen

' NORTH BRUNSWICK, N.J., UP)
—Ten traffic violations mark the
record of a truck driver who
slammed into a bus Friday and
turned it into a human bonfire.
The bodies of nine girls and a
history professor, out of 41 bus
passengers returning to Trenton
State College after a night at a
New York theater, were so badly
charred it took eight hours to
identify them.
Roscoe Poe, 54, Brooklyn, was
pried from the cab of his blazing
truck with his leg torn and his
body burned.
As Poe lay in fair condition in
hospital bed, authorities went
through his record. This is what
it showed:
Two convictions for speeding
in New Jersey, one of them a few
miles beyond the di^ster scene
on the same highway.
Five tickets in New York for
traffic violations.
Three warnings in Pennsyl
vania for speeding, passing a red
light and having no rear truck i
lights.
Poe, who faces a mandatory
charge of causing death by auto,
could not be questioned by police
because of his injuries.
Despite his past arrests and
traffic violations, Poe’s license
was never revoked under New
Jersey’s point system because the
convictions v^ere more than three
years old.
In the same hospital as Poe,
one of the college co-eds remain
ed in critical condition. She is
Linda Mollov, 17, West Orange,
severely burned.

Young Actress
BRACKETVILLE, Tex., —
Investigators today blamed a tot
tering romance for the knife slay
ing of a personable young actress
here on location to make a movie.

Heavy Snows Hit Western
Canadian Cities on Their
Thanksgiving Day
EDMONTON, Alta., UP) —Heavy
weekend snowfalls in western
Canada left hundreds of motorists
marooned today — Canada’s
Thanksgiving Day.
Snows up to 30 inches and
wind-whipped drifts up to five
feet deep in Saskatchewan and
western Manitoba forced cancel
lation of football games and other
holiday events.
About 200 automobiles and 50
big trucks were stranded in Sas
katchewan.
Snowmobiles and snowplows
rescued more than 100 highway
travelers yesterday.
Crops were hard hit. Millions
of bushels of unharvested grain i
still were in the fields when the J
snows began last Thursday. *
Buckingham
Guards Driven
Behind the Wall
LONDON, — Tourists have
driven the Buckingham Palace
guard inside the gate. A Yankee
may have done it.
They are retreating without a
fight—and with a sigh of relief.
The War Office came to the
rescue Friday of the guardsmen
who have marked their paces out
side the wrought iron railngs of
the royal palace with orders to
hold their fire—and temper—re
gardless of provocation.
Sightseers often got in their
way and even tried to tempt them
to lose their frozen-face poise.
Under the new orders, effective
Oct. 17, the guardsmen will re
main on view but do their parad
ing protected by the railing.
“^Tie reason,” said a War Of
ficex'spokesman, “is that for most
of the year the number of people
outside the palace is so great that
it has become impossible for sen
tries to patrol beats in the proper
manner.”
The change reportedly stem
med from the complaint of an
American woman tourist that she
was kicked by a guardsman last
summer. The rumpus was hushed
up as—well, an accident. But for
a while it was embarrassing.
