HAVE CLOSE CALL ONiypHG Car Stalls, Hit By C. And E.I. Train N ear Carlisle; None Hurt Seriously. v -' Six Sullivan County persons narrowly escaped death last night when the 1942 Ford coach in which they were riding was struck by the northbound C. & E. I. passenger train No. 10 about seven o'clock on a railroad crossing about one mile north of Carlisle. All escaped serious injury while three suffered only apparently minor injuries. They fre Clyde Peck, 49, 309 West Giles Street, Sullivan and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Peck of South Main Street. They suffered Shock and bruises when they were thrown from the car by the forqe of the collision. Riding with them wer Richl ard Shepler and LloydJ. Bpyll, 'both of North Broad $treet, i Sullivan and Herman Goble of ' Farmersburg, rural route. The group was enrdute east, and were going to the Mt. Zion Church of Christ for services. Having turned from the highway and approaching, the . crossing which is adjacent to the pavement, Mr. Peck stated that he halted his car to ' determine whether the train, less than 5!ive hundred feet away, was in motion. ' Conductor George Stakeman and Brakeman Ray Word said that the train had been stopped by a red block signal in order for train No. 58, Which was about a mile ahead, to clear the tracks, ' . As Mr. Peck advanced his auto to the prossing the train began to move and the ' sudden realization and nearness of danger caused him to stall the car with its front wheels on the crossing. The force of the collision swung the Peck automobile around to the west where recently filled-in sod broke t its momentum probably averting its overturning. As it turned Mr. Peck and his parents, riding in the front seat, were , thrown out, suffering bruises as a result in addition to shock. Mrs. Peck, 77, was thrown to the edge of the railroad just short of the track, where instant death from the train wheels would likely have resulted. Engineer Reed stopped the train and passengers helped to move the considerably damaged vehicle out of the train path. The elderly couple were returned to their home in Sullivan and their son received X-ray examinations at the Mary Sherman Hospital here this morning to determine the extent of his injuries. An eye-witness to the crash was Hubert Sevier of this city who was' traveling ' immediately behind the Peck auto.

Canada Expected To Match Contribution To Alleviate Famine President Truman, Hoover In Special Broad

cast Tonight.

WASHINGTON, April 19. (UP) The provernment was ready to issue an order today which would cut this country's bread and flour diet 25 per cent for at least two months to beat off the pending famine overseas. The order was expected to be coupled with an announcement that Canada is prepared to dig deeper into her domestic grain barrel to match America's contribution. ' , Britain may be brought into the agreement later.

President Iruman will emphasize the gravity of the iood emergency in a world-wide broadcast at six p.' m., Central Standard Time, tonight. Former President Herbert Hoover, who has been touring hungry areas, will speak from Cairo

Rogers today forecast price boosts of 50 per cent in the 'next ten months unless "we get. proper legislation without crippling amendments." But if price control is extended in such a way as to permit OiP.A. to go ahead with its. present program, he said, it is possible that ten months hence farm subsidies and most price controls can be removed.. Farm senators, meanwhile, were planning other restrictions on O.P.A. in addition to those also voted by the House in a price control bill passed yesterday. WASHINGTON, ; April 19. (UP) Fram state senators massed today for an attempt to lynch the O.P.A. They rallied around Senator Elmer Thomas, D., Okla., who introduced an amendment to the price control extension bill which would let O.P.A. control almost nothing but rents. Other farm-minded senators prepared other restrictions, and there was increasing feeling that O.P.A. would fare little better in the Senate than it did in the House. The House voted to beat most of the, life out of O.P.A. before passing and sending to the Senate an amendment-riddled bill yesterday to extend the agency for nine months beyond the present June 30th expiration date. The vote was 355 to 42 for the final version of the measure, which Price Chief Paul . Porter said could cause a 40 per cent rise in the cost of living.
