.Double-Deck Bus Plows
Into Marching Boys,
Killing 23 Of Them
; CHATHAM, Eng., (tf>) — An
eight-ton double-decker bus, op
erated by a driver cited for a
quarter century of safe driving,
rumbled into the singing ranks
of marching boy cadets and killed
23 of them.
Nineteen more boys, some near
death, lay in hospitals. Ten others
were treated for shock.
It was the worst road accident
in British motoring history.
The children, all between 10
and 13 years old, were cadets in
the Royal Marine Corps .They
sang in step as they marched—
their twin files just the width of
the bus—to see an amateur box
ing match at Chatham’s naval
barracks.
Passengers on the bus, riding
home in the suppertime rush
hour darkness, didn’t know what
was happening until it was all
over.
Mangled bodies were strewn
for 50 yards along the cobble
stone road.
The lowest spot in the United
States is Inyo, Calif. It is 280
feet below sea level.
$105,000 Alienation of
Affections Suit Against
Geological Survey Chief
I CLEVELAND, (/P) — A court
quarrel is in progress here over
; the two children of the wife of
William S. Twenhofel, chief of
the United States Geological Sur
vey in Alaska.
Mrs. Elizabeth Twenhofel, a
Clevelander, is being sued by her
former husband, Francis A. Ste
jer, a government geologist in
Washington. Twenhofel formerly
was Stejer’s boss in Alaska.
Stejer wants the court to do
two things:
(1) Punish Mrs. Twenhofel for
violating a court order forbidding
her to take her two children to
Juneau, for a visit to her new
husband, last summer.
(2) Award him $105,000 in an
alienation of affections suit
against Twenhofel and his ex
wife’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wil
liam H. Robinson of Cleveland.
The Robinsons are named because
he said they encouraged his wife
to marry Twenhofel, even though
they knew Twenhofel then was
married.

University Training
Helps Pick Winners
I
BOULDER, Colo., (/P) — When
Dean of Men Harry Carlson at
Colorado University opened a let
ter from a former student, now in
Alaska, a check slipped out.
It was for the full amount of
a loan the student had made from
the university’s loan fund, plus
interest and a little gift for the
fund.
The borrower explained he was
able to pay his debt faster than
he’d expected because of a bon
anza at the racetrack. He said
he figured his university train
ing had something to do with his
picking five winners in a row.

SHOPPING DAYS

Days of Luxury
Are Over For Our
Military Forces
WASHINGTON, </P)—The Sen
ate Armed Services subcommittee
on preparedness reported today it
had found many instances of
“trivial waste” at six Air Force
bases.
“To tolerate these minor wastes
is to sanction inevitable large
scale waste,” the group’s 34th re
port declared. “The days of lux
ury are over for our military es
tablishment.”
The subcommittee was set up
soon after the Korean war broke
out, to check on the nation’s mo
bilization program.
The report, the group’s first de
voted to a survey of a number of
air force bases, listed these as
samples of waste:
Overstocking food at some of
the bases;
Substitution of “elaborate . . .
costly” dining hall furniture for
serviceable equipment;
Request for a lighted baseball
diamond, a golf course and other
“lavish recreational facilities” at
Mather air force base near Sacra
mento, Calif.
