(UPD— A Southern Pacific freight train struck a bus carrying a football team Thursday night injuring seven, one of them critically. More than 30 students from St. Anthony Junior Catholic Seminary were aboard the bus when it stalled at a railroad crossing at the top of a short, steep grade. “I was the first to see the train coming,” Father Paul Mabry, the fpach accompanying the players ’to a game with another school £gid. “I opened the front door and told the boys to ‘get out and take it easy',” he said. Father Mabry got out with the first players to clear the exit passage for the others. Everyone remained calm, he said, despite the screech of locomotive brakes that could be heard coming down the tracks. j The diesel -locomotive knocked the bus into a spin that whirled I it 56 feet down the right-of-way. | Some boys'in the process of leaving the bus were scattered by the impact.

Describes Interview With Russian Student

(EDITOR'S NOTE: Russian ex- - change students on a 30-day tour of the United States are j spending this week end in Phil- jj edelphia. A UPI reporter tells g in the following dispatch about £ his experience with one of their Jj leaders). j By HARRY R. BELINGER „ United Press International PHILADELPHIA (UPD — In a seeking out Soviet youth leader j Elvira Astafyeva one expected to s find a husky lass wearing combat j boots who would tell about life in r the communes. Instead. I found myself staring into the pretty green eyes of a a shapely blonde wearing a snug t fitting black sweater, gray skirt r and black patent leather, spike j heels—all products of the U.S.S.R. Since my Russian is confined to r i yes (da — which sounds like baby talk) and nd (nyet — which I pronounce as if I started to say something and forgot what it ■was), I was looking for someone - among the 24 touring Soviet youth leaders who spoke English. Elvira speaks English — the ■ clear, cultured kind. In a soft, ‘ perfectly modulated voice she 1 told me she was a 22-year-old f ’ philology (science of linguistics) student at the University of Leningrad. iMijoying visit j She said she was thoroughly en- . joying her first visit to America j and was greatly “impressed with j the hospitality” and. . . A photographer interrupted, i Would we mind facing the other way so the light would be better 1 on Elvira’s clear skin. We turned to the north, the light was better. And Elvira tinuedElvira said in the two weeks she has been in America she found furnishings here similar to those in Russian homes because the Soviets also have TV's, refrigerators and other appliances. And she also found the traffic situation similar in the large cities in both America and Russia. Elvira was about to continue jbut she had to leave with four| ■or five other members of her j r group to visit the Sidney Hillman ■ Medical Center. The Russian Type I picked another subject. This time she was definitely the Russian type: Flat shoes, Iqpse fitting sweater, full skirt, blonde hair pulled straight back, then braided in pig tails which were pinned up. . “Do you speak English?” “Os course. Everybody who was ; born and raised in Philadelphia ■ usually does.”

This subject explained she was Margaret Rhoads, 22, accompanying the group as an interpreterguide, and had toured Russia last summer on the same exchange program after graduating from Reed College, Portland, Ore. Miss Rhoads said the American group was given a great deal of freedom while on its Russian tour although it didn’t stay with any families. She said she did visit some flats n Moscow and found the furnishings much different — massive and dark. She also said she found an abundance of TV’s, few refrigerators and other appliances and the traffic problem practically nonexistent because of the relatively few number of automobiles. All of which left me scratching my head. CASTRO CLAIMS Continued trrrm page one mander, Maj Camilo Cienfuegos, and conceded he must be given up for lost.

Everything is strictly on a volunteer vasis and by attending the meetings, a person can learn a little bit about cancer. Education, she concluded, is a facet of the chapter's overall program. The first inter-American conference was called by Simon Bolivar, the liberator, at Panama City in the summer of 1826.
