(UPD—A bus loaded with 99 boys and men careened without brakes down a steep hill Tuesday, killing a girl in one of three cars it rammed before toppling over on its side. Twenty-seven boys aboard the Catholic Youth Organization suffered minor cuts and bruisesi | and four motorists were injured, I one of them seriously.

Free Care For Aged Opposed By Medics WASHINGTON (UPD — The American Medical Assn. told Congress today that a plan to give free medical care to old people would impose government regulation on doctors and patients alike. The AMA charged that the un-ion-backed proposal to expand the social security program to' include health benefits simply adds up to ' a form of “national compulsory health insurance.” The medical group said the plan would carry a “staggeringly expensive” price tag of two billion dollars a year to start and noted that some people want to broaden it to cover the entire population, at a cost ten times that sum. Views of the AMA were presented in testimony prepared for de- ’ I livery to the House Ways and ' Means Committee by Dr. FredJ erick C. Swartz, Lansing, Mich., and Dr. Leonard Larson, Bis- '' marck, N.D. The committee is hearing the I pros and cons on a bill by Rep. Aime J. Forand (D-R.1.) which I would, in effect, provide people , on social security rolls with paidup hospital and medical insurance for life. Organized labor is strongly behind the bill. The Eisenhower administration has come out against it. Swartz, chairman of the AMA : committee on the aging, said that ' contrary to the arguments of proponents, enactment of the legislation would result in poorer, not better, health care for the people. He said the bill is “neither ■•practical nor realistic.” “Medical care is not susceptible to production-line techniques,” he . said. Swartz said the proposal would lead to overrowderi hospitals, curb community incentive to support hospitals, discourage local experimentation in new medical care techniques, disourage families from caring sos.. their own, and result in government controls. Three Women Clerks Are Killed In Crash INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Three meat packing company women clerks on their way to midnight lunch were killed early today when their automobile collided with a big truck. Both vehicles burst into flames. Hours later it had not been de- ' termined whether the victim? were killed outright or burned w death in the inferno as flames from'the wreckage on the city’s near south side shot 50 feet into the aii;. The dead were identified as Sandra Sue Swanfelt, 20, Elwood, driver of the car; Mrs. Dorothy Kurtz, 23, and Mrs. Jo Ann Lyon, 26, both of Indianapolis. They were on a lunch break from a night trick at Stark & [ Wetzel Co. when their car collided . at a city street intersection with a big semi-trailer outfit operated by Orville D. Squires, 37, Indiani apolis. Squires was hospitalized in ; fair condition with head injuries. The front of the truck rammed : against a wall of an Eli Lilly & • Co. drug firm building, then crushed the automobile. Squires told police he did not recall, how he escaped from his cab. Authorities said they believe he was thrown out. A veteran police officer said it was the worst crash he had seen i in 17 years. The crash was similar to one at the same intersection two years ago which also claimed three lives, police said. I ■ County Residents On TV Program Today Three Adams county residents were guests on Wayne Rothgeb’s show on WKJG-TV, “Farms and Farming," today at noon, displaying “Miss Adams County,” a Yorkshire hog.

Taft~Hartley Law Could Be Used In Strike WASHINGTON (UPI) — President Eisenhower has available a powerful weapon to halt the steel . strike if it gets to the point where the nation’s welfare is threatened. In that case, the President could seek an injunction under the Taft-Haftley Law to bar the i walkout for 80 days. But informed sources said today that the President will defer a decision on whether to use the broad emergency authority of the labor law. They gave two reaI sons: —lt will take several weeks at least for a steel shortage to develop that would threaten the nation’s welfare. Steel supplies are high. —Top federal mediators generally feel that the 80-day interval provided by the injunction serves as a warming up period instead of a cooling-off period as it is generally described. However, if a strike drags on through the summer, the President may invoke the Taft-Hartiey procedure. It would be the seventh time in seven years. Here’s how it works: If the President decides that a “threatened or actual strike or lockout affecting an entire industry or a substantial part thereof . . . will. . . imperil the national health or safety,” he can name an emergency fact-finding board. This board usually holds hearings for a few days and then reports the position of both company and union representatives to the White House. It makes no recommendations. Once the report is filled the President may order the attorney general to go into any U. S. District Court and seek an injunction forbidding a strike or lockout while negotiations continue. No court has ever refused such a request. If no agreement is reached after 60 days, the fact-finders report again on each side’s position and also relay the employers’ “final offer” to settle the dispute. During the next 15 days, the 1 National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) conducts a secret ballot vote of the workers involved to i. see if they wish to accept the final offer. It usually is rejected. The NLRB must certify the resuits to the attorney general with- ; to five days after the balloting is concluded. . At the end of the 80th day, the ’ government must ask the court to ' dissolve the injunction and, the ' workers are free to strike again. The President is required to 1 submit a report of the dispute to Congress together with any ’ recommendations he cares to , make for legislation. ‘ Segregationists Lose ‘ In Virginia Voting L RICHMOND, Va. (UPD — Vir- [ glnia’s moderate local option ap- , proach to integration, built from t the ruins of the court - crumbled “massive resistance” laws, gained ground today as result of a hard - fought Democratic primary election. Key legislators supporting Gov. J. Lindsay Almond's program of ■ “freedom of choice” fought off segregationist candidates to win renomination Tuesday. The Almond forces even picked i up one vote in the state Senate, where their .margin of victory was only one vote last spring. Former en. Victor P. Wilson ousted incumbent Stuart E. Hallett of the “massive resistance” forces in Hampton and Newport News. Also bounced from the legisla- ; ture was delegate Inez Baker of I Portsmouth, who had called for a stronger anti - integration policy. She was swamped by Donald Sandie, an Almond supporter, while Willard J. Moody who also supported Almond won renomination for Portsmouth’s second seat in the House of Delegates. Mrs. Baker’s defeat was offset by the victory in Charlottesville, where school integration begins next September, of Harold M. Burrows who edged incumbent William R. Hill, an Almond backer. The election battle centered on the Senate where Almond’s program underwent severe tests last spring. The “freedom of choice” program passed then allows localities to choose a number of courses rather than close their schools in defiance to accepting integration.

Contempt Os Court Charge Threatened TERRE HAUTE, Ind. government witness who pleaded the Fifth Amendment at the trial of eight alleged multi-million doller gamblers was to take the witness stand again today with the - threat of a contempt of court cii tation hanging over his head. I Yiddy Bloom of Minneapolis, : who said he was a real estate man, • received a stern warning from Judge Cale Holder when he refused t to say whether he made any calls ‘ to Terre Haute in the fall of 1957. r Holder told Bloom “it’s a serious thing when you start playing ■ around with contempt of court.” ’ District Attorney Don A. Tab- • ber said Bloom was “an essential ! witness and should be compelled ’ to testify.” Tabbert said Bloom testified t freely last summer before a grand jury that indicated the defendants on charges of evading $326,000 in ! federal excise taxes on wagers. The indictments followed a raid i on the alleged syndicate headquar- . ters in the fall of 1957. Tabbert said he did not know . until 90 minutes before Bloom was to take the stand that he intended to plead the fifth Amendment. Before Bloom was called to the , stand, witnesses told the court of placing bets during the 1957 football season that totaled $56,500. All told, witnesses have testified ! they bet about $450,000 with the . defendants. Paul Warren, Cleveland adverf tising executive, said he bet a I total of about $12,000 with Jules Horwick, Chicago, a defendant. Warren said he paid his betting . bill to a man he met in Cleveland . at Horwick’s directions. He said - he won twice, $l,lOO and $2,100, : and in each case he received the ; winnings in cash by registered mail. > Julius Fischman, St. Louis, told ■ the court he wagered $4,000 in the ■ 1057 World Series. “I switched teams according to ; the price,” Fischman said. “I got » the line point spread and then i consulted with a fellow who was supposed to know all about base- ■ ball. “He didn’t,” Fischman added. 1 “I lost $1,500 on the series.” 1 Meyer T. Shaner, restaurant owner in Denver, Colo., said he ’ made from two to five bets a week 1 and wagered a total of about $2,500 ■ on football parleys. > ► Castro Silent On ‘ Communist Charge • HAVANA (UPD—Premier Fidel : Castro met with his cabinet in a ' marathon seven-hour session Tues- , day night but afterward declined to ; comment on charges by his former ( air force chief that he is a Communist. The bearded revolutionary was unusually close-mouthed when he emerged from the session and called off an expected news conference on the subject. Earlier in the day in Washington, Major Pedro L. Diaz Lanz testified before the U.S. Senate internal security subcommittee - that he was convinced Castro, his - brother Raul and several other i high Cuban officials were Coml munists. , Diaz Lanz resigned as commands er of the Cuban air force and fled - to the United States after charging in a letter to President Manuel Urrutia there were Communists in f the government here. ( Gastro and Urrutia have called i Diaz Lanz a traitor and a deserter. In the past Castro has denied beI ing a Communist. But Tuesday ■ night he passed up an opportunitl ’ to discuss the situation again. “Here we are working and mak--1 ing revolutionary laws to make the ; revolution advance,” he told newsmen. He left it at that.
