Truck Wrecks Train In Florida;3 Die,l7 Hurt OKEECHOBEE, Fla., Dec. 21 (AP).—A collision between a passenger train and a truck wrecked the train and demolished the truck last night, killing three persons and crowding this little community’s hospital with injured. The Seaboard Air Line Railroad’s Miami-to-New York “Silver Star,’’ traveling at 70 to 80 miles per hour, and a tractor trailer loaded with oranges met just before 7 p.m., a mile north west of Okeechobee. Bud Sparkman of Okeechobee said, “I was waiting at the crossing in my jeep. The tractor-trailer was coming to ward me and slowed as if it was going to stop. But it didn't. It just kept right on creeping across. “The diesel was blowing its horn. It hit the cab. It was a horrible mess.” Engines Toppled Both locomotives and seven of the train’s 11 cars jumped the rails. The engines toppled over and the derailed coaches came to rest at tipsy angles. A large portion of track was torn up. The lead locomotive in which two trainmen died, blazed for two hours. Firemen kept the diesel oil-fed flames from spreading. The dead were identified as H. O. Slaughter, 50, the train's baggage master, of Wildwood; William Bell, 50, of Tampa, its fireman, and O. B. Jones, 38, of Haines City, driver of the truck. Seventeen persons, most of them train passengers bound north for Christmas, were admitted to the 35-bed Okeecho bee General Hospital. Another five were checked over or treated for minor injuries at doctors’ offices. Among those injured were Mrs. Mary Echlin, 44, of 1000 Valley drive, Alexandria, Va., who recently resigned as an employee of the Murphy & Ames Lumber Co. in Arlington. Her husband, Edward, a surveyor with the Virginia Electric & Power Co., said in Alexandria she was returning home with her father. Mrs. Echlin has one son, John West, of Falls Church. Beading Bible Phillip Elliott, 70, of Montreal, said that when the crash occurred his wife, Elize, 62, “went right over me and on the train.” Tractor Kills Farmer BTRASBURG, Va., Dec. 21 (AP). Alfred David Rinker, 64, was killed yesterday when his tractor overturned on him. Shenandoah County Sheriff Philip Crisman said Mr. Rinker was clearing brush on his newly acquired farm near here when the tractor apparently overturned on a bank.

Okeechobee is about 100 miles north of Miami. Congo Dissidents Blast U. S. Military Mission LEOPOLDVILLE, the Congo, Dec. 21 (AP).—Extreme nationalist opposition members of the Congoese Parliament accused the United States today of trying “once again to set up a military base in the Congo with the complicity of the United Nations.” They were protesting a United States military mission led by Lt. Gen. Louis W. Truman, and they presented a resolution in the lower house calling on the President of the House to write a protest letter to U. S. Secretary General U. S. Thant. The House also called unanimously for release of ex-Deputy Premier Antonie Gizenga within 48 hours. Mr. Gizenga, who set up a Communist-backed secessionist regime in Stanleyville last year, has been held since February on the Island of Bula-Bemba in the mouth of the Congo River. Glas* Felt Finished Mr. Gizenga, who considered himself the heir to the late Premier Patrice Lumumba, is regarded by many observers here as a spent force, politically. But Western diplomats felt his release at this time would seriously weaken the Central Government led by Premier Cyrille Adoula. These diplomats expressed belief Mr. Adoula’s regime could afford to release an avowed enemy on the heels of recent severe setbacks in Parliament. Year-Old Study Group Goes on Congo Duty By the Associated Press With one exception, the eight-man team, President Kennedy is sending to the Congo is made up of members of a hush-hush military study group on Africa. This group is designated as Joint Task Force 4 and was established more than a year ago to make plans for any military operations that might be required in Africa south of the Sahara region. This area embraces the Congo. The one member of Mr. Kennedy's Congo team not in the task force is a State Department representative, C. S. Whitehouse. The team was scheduled to take off from Andrews Air Force Base late this afternoon. Its leader is Lt. Gen. Louis W. Truman, Gen. Truman also U. S. Wins Round, Loses Another in Marcello Case The Government yesterday won another step in its long effort to deport Carlos Marcello, New Orleans underworld figure, but Marcello also won a point. The Government victory came in an opinion handed down today by the United States Court of Appeals in a suit brought by Marcello, contesting his 1961 deportation to Guatemala. Marcello is in New Orleans under bond in connection with criminal charges linked to the deportation case. His suit here sought a court order to bring him back to the United States from Guatemala, where he was removed by immigration authorities, and a ruling that the deportation was illegal. Today’s opinion said his suit should be thrown out of court. But, at the same time, it also scrapped District Court Judge Alexander Holtaoff's decision that the deportation had been legal. Government attorneys, who had thought this part of the case was over, now may have to go through the legal battle all over again in the New Orleans cases. Mr. Adoula suffered another setback today when the lower house narrowly missed forcing one of his ministers to resign. A censure motion against economics Minister Jean Pierre Dericoyard was carried by a vote of 57 to 30 with 7 abstentions. But it failed to garner support from two-thirds of the members present, which would have obliged Mr. Dericoyard to quit. Assess U.N. Army The protest against Gen. Truman’s mission to the Congo was led by one of Mr. Gizenga's supporters. Gabriel Yumbu claimed in his resolution the mission flew in the face of the U-N.’s resolve to keep big world powers out of the Congo crisis. The United States Embassy sources say Gen. Truman's mission does not foreshadow the arrival of American troops in the Congo. Its job is to assist the U.N. Congo army's need for military hardware. Embassy sources said. Nevertheless, the opposition resolution demanded that Mr. Adoula come to the lower house to explain his government's position. But parliamentary sources said it was unlikely Mr. Adoula would add dress Parliament before next week, when Gen. Truman’s mission will probably have finished its work in Lepoldville. Commands J.F. With him will go Maj. Gen. Sory Smith, who is deputy commander of the task force. Others on the team are Army Col. F.J. Vidlak, a member of the Joint Staff of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Army Col. N.R. Schenk; Air Force Lt. Col. F.H. Riggs; Army Maj. Ed Haugen and Specialist Donald Schaller. The group apparently will do a job similar to its work at the task force headquarters in the Norfolk (Va.) area. Since the establishment of the task force, the Pentagon has been reluctant to admit its existence or discuss its mission. The force is under the direction of Admiral Robert L. Dennison, commander in chief in the Atlantic. White House Call to Urban Parley Urged By GRACE BASSETT By GRACE BASSETT By SUM Writer President Kennedy today was urged to call a White House conference on urban problems. Senator Williams, Democrat of New Jersey, wrote the President that adjustment of difficulties of living in cities yearly becomes more complex and demands “attention at the highest levels of Government.” The Senator is one of a growing group of "urban” members of Congress who devote most of their time to legislation linked to city and suburban living. A White House conference next fall would bring public and private leaders together to look at their common urban problems as a whole, Senator Williams said in his letter to the White House. No Similar Conference “It is a commentary on the need, I think, to note that despite enormous changes That the process of urbanization has wrought in the last few decades, no White House conference on problems of urban growth and development ever has been held, the Senator added. "Indeed, not since 1931 has there been a presidential conference on the subject of housing, which is a major component of every community’s environment." Senator Williams noted the President’s own observation of the transformation of the nation from a rural to an urban society in less than half a century. Slums, highways, airports, open spaces, office buildings, and pollution are typical of urban developments which generate problems demanding coordinated action. Senator Williams suggested. "Subdivisions have been built where a highway should go," he told the President. Sees Little Vision "Airports have been built where farm land should have remained. Skyscrapters have risen without thought for resulting traffic congestion. "Suburbs have been zoned for large lots without regard for housing needs of a growing population. In short, our cities and suburbs, have grown largely by accident, with little coordination, common purpose, focus, or vision." Senator Williams asked the President to "look favorably" on the White House conference suggestion "as a way of renewing hope that we can someday say of this country’s metropolitan areas what Samuel Johnson said long ago of his city: "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life." Confession Issue Upsets Conviction The United States Court of Appeals yesterday reversed a man’s conviction because the Jury was allowed to stay in the courtroom while the Judge heard arguments on the advisability of a confession. In the case of Robert Crosby, 21, convicted of assault with intent to commit robbery, the court did not rule on whether the confession had been coerced, as alleged in the appeal. But it said, “while the issue of Goercion was not resolved in our case, the error in admitting the confession without resolving the issue calls for the same result.” According to the majority opinion of Judges Charles Pahy and Henry W. Edgerton, Crosby made a statement to police after he was arrested. Later claiming that his client was arrested illegally, his attorney sought to have the statement suppressed at the trial. The prosecution contended the defense never asked for a hearing specifically on the issue of whether the confession was voluntary. “There is no doubt in our minds that he objected to the confession as coerced as well as being the result of an allegedly illegal arrest, and that he sought a hearing with the jury excluded.” the court said. “We would be abandoning substance for form, not to recognize this.” Judge David L. Bastian, who dissented, said the lower court should be upheld because it "was not at any time asked to try the issue of the voluntary confession, out of the presence of the jury or otherwise.” Crosby was arrested early on the morning of January 23, 1961, at a Columbia road N.W. apartment where he stayed. He was charged in the December, 1960 holdup of a store in the 1400 block of Fifteenth street N.W. FBI Catches One of 'Most Wanted' The FBI says it has arrested John Lee Taylor, one of its “10 most wanted fugitives," in Chicago. He had been put on the list only six days ago. The announcement yesterday said that, when FBI agents entered the door of Taylor’s Chicago apartment, he screamed and bolted for the rear exit, where he ran into the arms of more agents. The FBI said Taylor is charged with the robbery and rape of a middle-aged Campaign (Ill.) schoolteacher on July 8, 1961. POINT OF VIEW Kennedy Mail Chills G. O. P. By MARY McGRORY Star Staff Writer Republican fears about the effect of President Kennedy’s hour of charm on Monday night — cited in their request for equal time—apparently are well founded. The G. O. P. said the President’s televised rocking-chair press conference may "have resulted in substantial benefits to the Democrats and their probable 1964 candidate." It may, indeed, according to a sampling of mail received at the White House this week. Letters of Praise Among the ecstatic letters received were some from Republicans who said they had not voted for the President last time but would certainly welcome the chance to do so now. One Los Angeles advertising man, who called himself “a thoroughly unreconstructed Republican who was ready to battle you all the way,” said, “I was never more impressed— I am going to vote for you in 64.” Other letters expressed "humble appreciation,” admiration for the President’s “composure and grace,” for his “ability, temperament and character” and thanks for the “truly inspirational” quality of his long chat with three White House correspondents. Okinawa Crash Takes 8th Life NAHA, Okinawa, Dec. 21 (AP).—The death toll in the crash of a United States Air Force was a significant achievement for the Navy. The tanker rose to eight today with the death of 1st Lt. Gordon P. Darling, the plane’s commander. The four-engine tanker based in Japan was coming in for a landing yesterday when it was waved off by the control tower. One engine failed when the plane tried to climb again, and it crashed into an Okinawan home. Six of the dead were American crewmen, two Okinawans, Lt. Darling, of Springfield, Mass., was rushed to a hospital with burns over 99 percent of his body. He died 15 hours later. His wife, Patricia, is in Japan. The only survivor, Airman Le Luther J. Winzer of McKinney, Tex., was reported in good condition. The Air Force identified the other five dead American crewmen as: 1st Lt. Carroll E. Eisenhart, pilot, Omaha, Neb. Capt. Ronald A. Kersting, navigator, Tampa, Fla. Tech. Sgt. Alfred Semtner, Jr., engineer, Chillicothe, Ill. Staff Sgt. James Richard Hayes, Winchester, N.H. Staff Sgt. Robert T. Craig, Lima, Ohio. State Can't Close Private Schools, Iowa Judge Says INDEPENDENCE, Iowa, Dec. 21 (AP).—Judge Peter van Metre ruled yesterday that the State has no power to close two private schools operated by old order Amish in Northern Buchanan County. J. J. Jorgensen, county school superintendent, had requested a temporary closing injunction because the schools lacked certified teachers. They and one room institutions near Hazleton have 37 children from Amish families living in that area. Judge van Metre said, “The wrong act was brought about by the county attorney. The State has no power to close a private school. The only power the State has is to enforce the attendance laws by proper action against the parents of the individual students involved." State Law provides that children must be in attendance under a certified teacher. At a hearing here December 11, the Amish contended that guarantees of religious freedom in the United States constitution give them the right to operate their schools as they wish.

While the Republican National Committee is militantly calling for an hour to answer, they may be secretly hoping they don’t get it. For the problem of the cast is only slightly less troublesome than that of the script. At the moment the consensus seems to be that Republican National Chairman William E. Miller of New York, a lively and combative partisan should reply to the President. No one is battling Representative Miller for the honor. No one has stepped forward. Various suggestions for a team of answerers have been heard, but since its composition might incite more dissension than anything it may be discarded. So Mr. Miller will undoubtedly be the star. Topics Seem Precluded. The question then arises about the script. What can Mr. Miller talk about? Cuba, no matter what the Republicans say, is reckoned as a triumph for the President. Senator Goldwater’s charge of a deal with Nikita Khrushchev has not been well received among a citizenry that is both relieved and admiring. Could he talk about business? The President's talk to the Economics Club in New York last week apparently flushed out some defectors in X-15 Climbs 30 Miles, Hits 3,886 M.P.H. EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif., Dec. 21 (AP).— X-15 Pilot Joseph A. Walker says the sun got in his eyes—and that’s why he hit a speed of 3.886 miles per hour—1686 miles per hour faster than planned—in the rocket ship's latest test. Mr. Walker took the craft to almost 30 miles yesterday, highest yet reached with the plane's big bottom fin removed. "We really came screaming down the course," Mr. Walker said. He explained he exceeded his speed on the way up because the sun temporarily blinded him and he couldn't read the instrument panel. As a result, he re-entered the post office. Poll Indicates D.C. Alone Has Problem By the Associated Press They may have had difficulties with holiday season drinking on the job in the City Post Office here in Washington, but things are dry in post offices across the rest of the country. Two days ago, officials of the Washington City Post Office said they found evidence of drinking on the job — more than 400 empty bottles worth of evidence on the Post Office premises. "The productivity of the Washington City Post Office has been adversely affected because of the numerous employees indulging in intoxicants," a city postal official said. But high postal department brass was quick to declare it was strictly a local problem and one that does not exist anywhere else in the Nation's post offices. An Associated Press poll of some of the country's largest cities appeared to bear out the claim of Nation-wide innocence. Here are some comments on the matter from officials of local post offices: Buffalo, N.Y.: "Happy to report no problem here. 3,500 permanent employees don't drink on the job and no trouble." A rare roller lot of eight of our fine Teas individually boxed. The package is handsomely decorated with an old style Georgetown engraving in large enough for ample tanting. A lea lover's delight at the moment on the phone, and the phone is accepted. Only one of the many unique ideas from the roller-lion of the 1330 Wisconsin Ave. Ft 12166. THE EVENING STAR Washington, D.C., Friday, December 21, 1962 This traditionally Republican bastion. The President got a letter from one board chairman thanking him for "a thrilling evening,” and one from another saying his pleasure in the meeting was only tempered by his fear that the executives had imposed on the President by prolonging the question period. Could he talk about taxes? The President is in favor of a tax-cut, and has called for tax reform. Representative Miller can hardly take issue here. “Stole Their Thunder” Foreign aid? The President took the words out of the Republicans' mouth by calling on a rich Europe to do its part now. What about civil rights? The President gave a persuasive summary of the Oxford crisis on his program. And the Republicans have not yet made up their minds whether they should court the Negroes anew or try to capitalize on their gains in the South. The dynasty issue, raised by the candidacy of the President's younger brother in Massachusetts, was neutralized by the swamping nature of Teddy’s victory. So, possibly, if the Republicans are lucky, the networks will deny them the time. Then at least they will have an issue, which They don't have now. Atmosphere after engine shut off faster than planned. He slowed the craft with speed-braking flaps and by tilting it into a high angle to let its undersurface act as a brake. It was the seventh in a series to test the X-15’s performance without its ventral fin. The finish was designed to add stability, but tends to make the plane roll on re-entry from high altitudes. On yesterday’s flight the X-15 reached 157,000 feet. On earlier flights the craft has reached an altitude of 140,000 feet without the fin. Engineers hope to enable it to exceed its present record of 314,700 feet without the vertical fin. With 3,000 temporary help who were carefully screened before hiring. Honolulu: No post office job drinking problem. Long-established Honolulu policy provides suspensions for any violations. We will tolerate no nonsence in this matter. San Francisco: "No, we have had no such problem this year." Philadelphia: "We have always been on the watch for that sort of thing, checking up most carefully, and we know of no instance where a man was drinking on the job. Hence, no need for any special crack down now." Detroit: "We have no problem in that area. Therefore there’s been no crackdown." Birmingham, Ala.: "I can truthfully say I have never even smelled whisky on anyone's breath." Hicksville, N.Y.: "Our employees are to sophisticated for that sort of thing. This is no problem here, I assure you." Dallas, Tex.: Postmaster William Hudson says absolutely no drinking problem in Dallas. But a Post Office spokesman says patrons in McAllen Brownsville and Harlingen, Tex., have been giving postal workers a hard time about the Washington situation, including blame for expected mail that hasn’t arrived. Italian Cruiser Equipped to Fire Polaris. By the Associated Press. Italy seems to have an eye on having its own nuclear strategic armament, using a Polaris-type missile. The brand-new Italian cruiser Garibaldi, which visited the United States about two months ago, is equipped with launching gear for missiles of the Polaris type. While at the Norfolk (Va.) Naval Base, the Garibaldi test launched dummy Polaris rockets to try out its equipment. In answer to a question, informed sources at the Italian Embassy here said today that "everything was very satisfactorily" in the trials with the Italian-designed launching system. These sources said officers of the Garibaldi were "very enthusiastic" about results of the test. Elsewhere in Washington there is talk that France, which is attempting to create an independent nuclear force, also has interest in some form of surface-launched missile to carry a nuclear warhead. But it was said, President de Gaulle’s desire to make France independent of either United States or NATO help in the nuclear field has prevented display of any active interest in Polaris, which is used by the United States to firm rocket submarines. Weigh Surface Firing News dispatches from Nassau indicate British Prime Minister Macmillan has put aside his previous insistence that the American Skybolt missile, a weapon for launching from bombers, is the only way to make Britain a nuclear power. President Kennedy, backed by Secretary of Defense McNamara, apparently assured Mr. Macmillan that the Polaris missile could be the answer. Early dispatches from the scene of the Kennedy-Macmillan talks left unclear the question of how Britain would use Polaris missiles, but the indication was... Surface-launched rockets are being considered. Although the United States so far has used Polaris only for submerged firing from submarines, it never has reflected the idea that the missile also could be fired from surface ships, ground positions, trains, trucks or barges. Study Under Way As recently as last September, the Navy awarded a contract to the Chrysler Corp.’s missile division to study proposals for launching solid-fuel rockets from Navy ships. The question of whether Britain would choose Skybolt missiles or a surface launched Polaris goes back two years. In 1960, the United States suggested that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization might want to have medium range missiles—about the 1,200-mile range of Polaris—in its armament. At the same time, British interest was turning to the Skybolt weapon, then still in the early research stage. ESTABLISHED 1856 DOWNTOWN: 710 12th N.W. Oi. 7-5341 BETHESDA: 7929 Norfolk Ave. Oi.
