100 PERISH, 200 INJURED AS
TWO BRITISH TRAINS COLLIDE
LONDON, OP)—Rescue workers I
said about 100 persons died in the
rush-hour crash of two trains tak
ing commuters and Christmas
shoppers to their homes in thick
fog Wednesday night.
Police said more than 200 oth
ers were injured, including 110
seriously hurt.
Arms and legs of still bodies
protruded from the windows and
shattered roofs of the coaches.
Horrible as the wreck was, it just
missed being even worse, for a
third train almost was involved.
An 11-coach train drove into
the rear of a 10-coach electric i
train halted near St. John’s sta- j
tion. The impact shot cars into
the air and brought down part of
an overhead viaduct which car
ried another elfectric rail line.
An eight-coach electric train
above was left with the front
wheels of its engine hanging over
the edge. Salvage teams early yes
terday finally removed the train
above.
Mr. and Mrs. Eino Myniti left
today to spend the winter in the
! states. /

cutter Storis arrived in Seattle

ka apd thru the ice-clogged north
west passage to the Atlantic, be

House of Lords
Opened to Women
LONDON, UPi—One of th«: male
animal’s'last citadels, the British
House of Lords, last night agreed
to a petticoat infiltration.
The upper house of the British
Parliament uanimously approved
a bill authorizing Queen Eliza
beth II, on recommendation of the
government,, to create lifetime
peers, both male and female, who
would sit with the Lords.
The lifetime titles will lapse on
the death of the holders, a device
intended to attract those who
think a person should earn the
position, not inherit it.
Tom Martin, who sneaked in
unobserved on the final rehearsal
of the Roof Garden, says: "I guess
the costumes arrived okay, and
they are very glamorous, spark
ling, shimmering. What a thrill
when the curtain rises!"
