Not Bright as Group Meets

member committee representing

gan closed-door conferences to
day aimed at reaching a compro

named by Secretary of Labor

Snowslides on Alaska R.R.
ANCHORAGE, — Warm
weather caused 15 snowslides
along the Alaska Railroad and the
Anchorage - Seward Highway last
week, knocking out communica
tions lines between Anchorage
and Seward and Whittier.
Road crews gave up trying to
keep the highway open Friday.
Officials said possible additional
slides endangered men and equip
ment.
The railroad’s snow removal
fleet kept on the job to clear three
slides, one 600 feet long and 40
feet deep; the' others 300 feet
long and 10 feet deep.
Modern sailors often use the
word “boat” to mean a vessel
which can be hoisted to the deck
of a “ship,” which is any vessel
which cannot be so hoisted.

Brake Failure Held Cause
Of Head-on Trolley Crash
In Mexico City; 58 Killed
MEXICO, (/P>—Federal and city
officials investigated reports to
day that, a brake failure and over
loading caused the disastrous
head-on trolley crash here Satur
day night in which at least 58
persons were killed and 82 others
seriously injured.
The accident—described by of
ficials as the worst in the history
of the capital’s city-owned transit
system—occurred after dark on a
one-way suburban track. Both
trolleys were completely demol
ished and the passengers were
mangled in the wreckage.
One of the antiquated cars,
jammed with 90 picnickers, was
moving down a steep grade and
was supposed to switch onto a
siding to wait for a trolley labor
ing up the hill.
The down-bound car’s motor
man, whose foot was amputated,
said he heard a “dry crack” when
he applied his air brakes at the
top of the hill,, and they failed to
take held. Uncontrolled, the car
streaked down the curving grade
and past the siding.
All passengers in the front of
both cars were crushed.
A" new Navy fighter weighs
more than a standard twin-engine
commercial airliner complete
with its two pilots, hostess, 21
passengers, their luggage and the
usual mail load.

Group Urges
Cabinet Level for
Psychol. Warfare
J
WASHINGTON, UP) — The U.S.
Advisory Commission on Infor
mation recommended Saturday
that the Voice of America and all
other psychological warfare and
overseas information programs be
placed in a new federal agency of
cabinet level.
The Advisory Committee is a
group of five distinguished citi
zens under the chairmanship of
Mark A. May, director of the Yale
University of Institute of Human
Relations.
The proposal for removing the
Voice and relative activities from
the State Department was one of
seven recommendations which the
commission placed before Con
gress in a report released through
the department.
It coincided with mounting crit
icism of the handling of Voice op
erations. The program is now be
ing investigated by a Senate com
mittee headed by Sen. McCarthy
CR-Wis).
The commission s recommenda
tion may have an influential effect!
on decisions yet to be made by j
President Eisenhower and Secre- j
tary of State Dulles about the or- j
ganization of the government’s in- \
formation and psychological war- j
fare programs.
