Driver Pinned

Cab of Truck Squeezed Like An Accordion

Times State Service SULLIVAN, Aug. 26—A truck driver died screaming for help in his burning cab a mile south of here last night. Bystanders who heard his screams were unable to go to his aid.

The driver was identified as James McDonald, 35, Evansville. His truck had crashed into a steel bridge railing, apparently causing the gasoline tanks to explode, officers aid. A coroner's investigation into the death was started today.

Fire Blocks Rescue

One man on the scene said the cab of the truck “was squeezed up like an accordion. The driver was inside hollerin’.” But the raging fire blocked any rescue attempt. Sullivan firemen pumped 300 gallons of water on the blaze] from their tank truck, and were] then forced to pull water from;

They fought the flames for, about three hours. The highway was strewn with debris for nearly| eight hours. The road is a main| traffic artery connecting Evans-| ville, Terre Haute and Chicago. Although cause of the accident has not been definitely established, officials today thought Mr. McDonald's truck may have been “squeezed” into the bridge railing when meéting another truck: Pete Bluebaugh, Hymaria, was ehecking that possibility during] his investigation for the coroner's | office. / -It is possible, he said. the driver of the second truck could have gone on, knowing nothing of the accident. Firemen and Mr. Bluebaugh described the road as flat at the bridge.

‘Midwest GOP Field Looks for lke’s Support mimi:

By IRVING LEIBOWITZ Indiana Republicans today greeted enthusiagtically the news that Gen, Dwight D. Eisenhower expects to support Sen, William E. Jenner and come out slugging the Democrats at Indianapolis Sept. 9. This indication that the General will help the Midwest Republican cause came from Utah's

Sen. Wallace Bennett, "who supported Sen. Robert A. Taft for President. Sen. Bennett said he expects

Gen. Eisenhower to support Sen. Jenner as well as Wisconsin's Sen. Joseph McCarthy. At the same time, Gen. Eisenhower was pictured as ready to embrace many views of the Taft wing of the party and also prepared to start slugging the Democrats on specific issues.

Hoosier Hopes Raised Hoosier GOP leaders are particularly happy about Ike's forthcoming aid, since the Republican Presidential nominee has done nothing so far to help Sen. Jenner or the GOP cause in the Midwest. For example, (Gen. KEjsenhower last week sprang to the defense of his old Army boss, Gen. George C. Marshall, the man Sen. Jenner called “a living lie.” On another occasion the Gen-
