would require publication before allowances. Present law requires publication before and after. Sen. Ruel Steele (R-Bedford), author of the measure, called the present practice ‘‘wasteful” and said the bill would "cut down on political patronage" to small newspapers. The bill passed, 28-18. SBIB6, which was defeated by a 17-32 vote, would provide for legal responsibility by private charitable hsopitals for negligent acts of officers and employees. It was authored by Sen. Marshall /Kizer <DIn another big Senate development, rebel Republicans indicated they would not aid Democrats in passing a “right to wprk” repeal bill unless the Democrats helped “bone up” a “union reform” bill. The reform measure <HB66> is up for consideration by a Senate committee of the whole next Tuesday. Senate Democrats, who are outnumbered 23-27 by Republicans, need the help of a handful of GOP legislators to pass the repeal bill and "aparently are forced tpo, strengthen the watereddown HB&>. <Re. Brich Bayh (D-Terte Haute), House speaker, was irked by the news. / ‘‘We don’t feel our bill 'HB66> is perfect, but it was the best we /could come up with," he said. “If the Senate thinks it is going to pass punitive labor measures, we are not going to buy it. They (Senate Republicans) have tried every way possible to get out of standing up and being counted, and this looks like another excuse.”
British Study Greek-Turkish Plan On Cyprus LONDON (UPI) — The British cabinet called an emergency meeting today to consider the Greek-Turkish plan to end Britain’s 81-year rule on Cyprus. Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd scheduled conferences later with Foreign Ministers Ev ange 1o s Avwoff of Greece and Fatim ZorTu of Turkey to set a date for a formal tripartite conference that would make the Mediterranean island a free and independent state. Archbishop Makarios, exiled spiritual leader of the Greek Cypriots, approved the agreement Wednesday night following a briefing by Creek Premier Constantin Karamanlis who flew back to Athens from Zurich, Switzerland, where the plan was proposed during a five-day conference. Makarios said the agreement Opened the road to freedom and prosperity for both Greek and Turkish Cypriots. Announcement pf the agreement set off a wave of optimism on Cyprus, itself, where a four-year old conflict has taken almost 60 lives. British newspaper reaction was mixed. The Daily Express denounced the plan, which would free Cyprus from British rule while allowing Britain to continue to use thee island as a naval base. It called the agreement a “sell out.” Hie Daily Telegraph hailed the agreement, calling it a “new chance in Cyprus.” Four Are Fined As Traffic Violators Four fines were imposed in justice of the peace court recently for traffic violations filed against four motorists by the state police. - Ralph L.

Begins Eighth Day Os Life In Subway NEW YORK (UPD — Murray Kaufman possibly the biggest underground operative around here since communist Gerhardt Eisler left town, began his eighth day of living in, the subway today. - it stinks. Also, it's cold, clammy, climateless, and, of course, crowded to the crannies. As you mgy f guessed. Kaufman is one of those remarkable fellows, the disk jockeys, who do so much to the American scene. This disk jockey has vowed to live down in the subway until somebody finds a sterling silver turnstile token which he has slipped in among the 15 million tokens now in circulation among the paying customers. The stunt has sort of backfired. The token is a stubborn one. It just won’t show up. “Kaufman is blowing his top—he wants out and we won’t let him out,” said a spokesman for his radio station, WINS. “Meantime, somebody is passing out bogus pitver tokens, artificially colored dull silver, and flooding the transit system with them.” The prize offered to the person coming up with the real silver token (it’s specially marked for identification) is 1,000 tokens—enough for more than a year of free rides. Self Sufficient Underground Kaufman spends much of the day riding the city’s 237 miles of subways. He has found—without ever going outside the turnstiles, mind you—barber shops, lunch stands, candy shops, fruit shops, a clothing store (subway sam>, record shops, and savings bank . windows. He has opened accounts in two banks ($5 apiece). He uses a private transit-police shower. He broadcasts his shows from a spot at the end of the lunch counter in front of his bedroom. with a root-beer dispenser beside him and a coffee maker behind him. He wears three sweaters, a red-striped cap. and fleece - lined shoes. A sunlamp stands beside his cot. Feels Stir Craxy Kaufman describes himself on the air as “the mole in the hole—the disk-jock in hock.” Off the air, he admits he feels a little stir crazy. He has a wife and two young sons who take a dim view of the old man's doings: "They want to know if I’m getting a raise.” As yet there is no name for such a marathon, such as Sub waython, or Sub-a-thon, and when ' Kaufman was asked what he ’ thought would be a proper name he replied quickly: “Sick." Littler And Wall Favored At Tucson TUCSON, Ariz. (UPI) — Gene Littler and Art Wall, who finished one-two in the Phoenix Open last week, served notice they were men to watch as the $15,000 Tucson Open’s first round began today. Littler posted a three under par 67 in pro-am play Wednesday. * Wall was a stroke behind Littler < Wednesday with a 68. I.’ : '
Cardinals May Make Deal For Dodgers' Star By TIM MORIARTY United Press International If the Los Angeles Dodgers have given up on Duke Snider, they might be able to swing a deal with the St. Louis Cardinals. General Manager Bing Devine of the Cardinals has hinted he would be willing to trade either veteran right-hander Sam Jones or southpaw Wilmer (Vinegar Bend) Mizell for a slugging outfielder. Snider undoubtedly would fill the bill for the Redbirds. The one-time “Duke of Flatbush” hit 40 or more home runs for five straight seasons with the Dodgers* before they pulled out of Brooklyn. His H.R. production dipped to 15 last year but he still managed to bat .312 in 106 games. Although he has been a member of the Dodgers since 1947, Snider might welcome a change of uniforms. Many of his towering drives that used to sail over the Ebbets Field right field wall became easy opts in the vast Los Angeles Coliseum last year. With the Cardinals, Duke would have an easier target. The right field barrier at Busch Stadium in St. Louis measures only 310 feet at the foul line and does not drop back at such a sharp angle as the Coliseum boundary did last year. The Dodgers, on the other hand, could use either Jones or Mizell. They lacked a consistent winning pitcher last season. Mizell is one of only nine St. Louis players still unsigned for the 1959 season. Devine signed outfielder Bobby Gene Smith and pitcher Bob Miller. The Boston Red Sox signed allstar third baseman Frank Malzone and veteran southpaw Dean Stone. Malzone hit .295 in 155 games last year while Stone, optioned to Minneapolis at the start of the 1958 campaign, wound up with a 13-10 record. The New York Yankees, after a slow start, now have 19 players under contract for the coming season. They signed three more Wednesday — pitchers Murry Dickson and Ed Dick and outfielder John Reed. Other signings by clubs: Tigers — Pitchers Pete Burnside and Don Lee, infielder Maury Wills. Dodgers — Outfielder Solly Drake. Orioles — Shortstop Chico Carrasquel. White Sox—Pitcher Turk Lown. Braves — Pitcher Bob Trowbridge: If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad — They bring results.

32 Persons injured Wlfen Train Derailed MIDDLE RIVER, Md. (UPDA steel beam fell from a passing freight, buckled a track and derailed an 80-mile-an-hour Washington to New York express train today, injuring 32 persons. Engineer T.L. Winsey of the Pennsylvania Railroad’s derailed “Potomac” said he saw the buckled track as he rounded a bend into the straight stretch where the wreck occurred. Winsey said he applied the brakes, but the train immediately began to wobble out of control on the bent track. Only one truck of the locomotive left the rails. The sleeping car behind it stayed on. The remaining 10 cars of the train derailed, tore up more than half a mile of trackage and came to ; rest still upright but titled pre- . cariously across three of the four k tracks of the PRR’s New York- • Washington main line. [ Twenty-five injured were taken • to City Hospital. A spokesman said one of them appeared to be • in serious condition. , Seven injured were taken to > Johns Hopkins Hospital. The railroad said most of the • injured were among 35 passengers I in three parlor cars which were s at the end of the train. They broke away from the front of the 1 train and came to rest off the t rails about half a mile behind the i front end of the train, t — ’ ’ Trade in o good town - Decatur.
