NATIONAL PALACE ATTACKED IN GUATEMALA CITY

eymour Ups Speed '

Liifiil For Trains

SEYMOUR, Ind., July 21. U.R) This town of some 8,600 was proud today of its new speed limit for trains 25 miles per hour instead of eight. But railroad spokesmen still complained. "That's still slow," said a railroad official who didn't want to be identified. "But it's heartenine

to see that Seymour removed its eight mile limit. There are still a

lot of towns in Indiana with

norse ana buggy limits six or eight miles per hour. Happily, they don;t enforce them." Members of the city council', which passed the ordinance last night, said it was adopted because flasher signals were being installed at all railroad crossings in Seymour. The Pennsylvania Railroad line from Chicago to Louisville and the Baltimore and Ohio line from St. Louis to Cincinnati intersect

at Seymour.

Firemen said the blaze was prevented frpm spreading to oil sun-age tanks surrounding the still by fire fightings equipment which arrived only a few minutes af'cr the explosion. 0ns fireman said he was in the er.gineliousa when he heard the explosion go off like a cannon. He said equipment was at the scene just a few minutas later. Water 1 was played on the surrounding oil ' tanks to cool them off and prevent the flames from spreading.

' Company officials said they would not be able to estimate the extent of damage until the still had cooled off sufficiently so that investigators could ' enter. Outwardly, the still was only slightly affected by the force of the explosion, they said.

Ag Department Plans To Double

Grain Slows WASHINGTON, July 21 (UP) The Agriculture Department

announced plans today for a rush program' to double government-owned grain storage facilities in. the corn belt. . I The Department called for bids from private firms for construction of 50,000,000 bushels of additional government storage in nine Midwestern states., ' It said this was needed to help hold the "large quntities" of 1948-crop corn and other grain which farmers are expected to dump in th government's lap under price support programs this summer and fall. The government now owns 45,000,000 bushels of storage in the form of metal bins scattered through four Midwestern states. "Most of the new storage will be placed in the states of Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Minnesota. Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin," the announcement said. .

Army Seeks To Buy Wheal At Cut Rate WASHINGTON, July 21 (UP) The Army has approached the J Agriculture Department . about I the possibility of obtaining a cut rate on the wheat it buys, it was .disclosed. ! Informed sources said however ( that Agriculture Department officials are cool to the Army's idea. i ! These officials were said to believe that while the cut-rate would lower the government's German food bill, it would also force the Agriculture Departmen t to charge up a multimillion-dollar loss against its farm subsidy program. It could not be learned whether the Army's proposal merely involves taking money out of one government pocket and putting it into another, or whether it would boost total government

operating costs. 1 That would depend on whether tehe Army would return its wheat "savings" to. the Federal Treasury or spend the money fcr other purposes.
