New York Central
Flies Off Rails;
1 Dead, 38 Injured
WHITE PIGEON, Mich., UPt—
Behind schedule and on strange
tracks, the New York Central’s
eastbound flyer, “The Chicagoan,”
left its rails outside this south
west Michigan town Saturday,
killing one man and injuring at
least 38 persons.
The flyer, enroute from Chi
cago to New York with 164 pas
sengers, lost 11 of its cars in the
derailment where tracks crossed
Highway 103 a mile south of
White Pigeon. One car overturned
and others jack-knifed in a he&p.
“The Chicagoan” had been re
routed at Elkhart, Ind., 15 miles
southwest of its wreck, to avoid
an earlier derailment at Arch
bold, Ohio. It was on Michigan
Central tracks running form Elk
hart to Toledo and behind sched
ule because of the switch.
Cause of the derailment was
not determined immediately, hut
railroad crewmen said there ap
peared to be some construction
and maintenance equipment en
tangled in the wreckage.
The first man to crawl from the
wreckage broke a window to get
out of a coach and ran to the
highway to flag passing cars. The
first he stopped had two nurses
in it. They rushed to the mail
cars to give first aid.
A mother said her 3-year-old
daughter slept thru the pileup,
altho tossed about violently.

Flying Saucers? I
No, Just Tests
By Air Force
ELMENDORF Air Force Base,
Alaska—Business should be brisk
the balance of this month for
flying saucer spotters in Alaska.
The sky will be full of “bright
flishes”—but they’ll be Air Force
inspired, not the exhaust trails of
Martiap spacecraft.
As part of night photographic
exercises, the Air Force will be
dropping flares at 13 points thru-;
out the territory from the 18th
thru the 30th of November.
Weather and terrain permitting
the lights will be visible up to 25
miles from the drop zone.
Residents in the following areas
can expect to be “lit up” some
time before the end of the month:
Kotzebue, Cape Lisbourne, Mc
Grath, Galena, Unalakleet, Dali
Point, Cape Newenham, Fort Yu
kon, southwest Anchorage, Kach
emak Bay, Middleton Island, Nak
nek Lake, and southwest of Al
lakatet.

Alaska and Hawaii
Are Booming
In Population
* WASHINGTON WV-Alaska and
Hawaii are booming in population
but Puerto Rico is barely staying
even, the Census Bureau said in
a special report Saturday.
The report covers the period
between the 1950 census and July
1, 1956.
Alaska’s civilian population in
creased from 108,000 to 161,000,
an increase of more than 48%.
Births outnumbered deaths 41,
000 to 8,000 and migration added
19.000 to the total.
Including armed forces stationed
in the area, Alaska’s population
j \omped from 126,643 in 1950 to
206.000 in 1956.
The Ceppus Bureau said the
Alaskan figures reflect the aver
age population, rather than either
the mid-summer peak or the mid
winter low.
Hayraii showed the greatest nu
merical gain of any of the outly
ing territories, with a civilian
population that rose from 477,OOQ
in 1950 to an estimated 526,000 on '
July 1, 1956, an increase of 10.2%.
The civilian population of Pu-.
erto Rico rose by only 53J}00, or
2.4%, during the time covered in
the survey—from 2,205,000 to
2,258,000.
