Lightning Kills Lad
Playing Football
DENVER, (/P>—A rinpped and
torn pair of football shoes showed
today the terrific force of a light
ning bolt which killed a 17-vear
old Denver University freshman
football player and knocked four
others unconscious.
The lightning cut the shoes off
Ken McCauley, Jr., son of the su
perintendent of schools at La Jun
ta, Colo., to shreds and they were
found over 10 feet from his burn
ed body.
The bolt leaped from a cloudy
sky late yesterday to a dirt foot
ball practice field north of the
Denver University stadium, flat
tening virtually the entire fresh
man squad and coaches Paul Mc
Clung and Mike Jurich.
MR. AND MRS. GROVER ANDRE

Mr. and Mrs. Grover Andre who

tle.
The reason why worry kills
more people than work is that

Boeing Develops
New Heavy Bomber
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Boeing
Aircraft disclosed yesterday it is
developing a new heavy bomber,
the XB-52, along with an ad
vanced model of the B-50, the lat
est in propellor bombers.
Neither of these planes was de
scribed, but the XB-52 is believed
to be an effort to apply gas tur
bine-powered propellors to heavy
aircraft.
The advanced B-50, to be
known as the B-50C, will have im
portant design changes.
William M. Allen, Boeing presi
dent, told of the new models in a
statement submitted to the Presi
dent's air policy commission.
He also disclosed that the gross
weight of the B-50, which is bas
ically the B-29 superfortress with
larger engines, is 164,000 pounds
compared with the usual gross
weight of 135,000 pounds for the
B-29.
At peak loading, the B-50 car- j
ries 94 pounds for every square
foot of wing—the heaviest wing
loading ever flown.

Two Hurl As Pier
Wall Collapses
NEW YORK, (JPt — Two men
were injured, a third suffered
from shock and a fourth escaped
unharmed today when two s»e
’ions of the front wall of the
burned out Hudson river pier 57
collapsed.
Three of the men were marine
surveyors who were examining
damage from the $5,000,000 fire
which had been burning since
Sunday night. The fourth man, a
longshoreman working on an ad
joining pier, suffered so from
shock at the sight of the accident
that he was taken to a hospital.
As the entrance facade to the
pier collapsed, the 60 by 150 foot
section carried with it the front
wall of what had been the offices
of the Grace Line, operator of the
pier.
Battalion Chief John J. Broder
ick, who had been behind the wall
two minutes before it collapsed,
had ordered all firemen working
there to leave because he feared
the facade would collapse. As a re
sult, no firemen were trapped, al
though Broderick said immediate
ly after the accident he believed
at least three of four firemen had
been working at the point. Since
the fire broke out 148 firemen
have been hurt.
Trouble On The
Labor Front
i
(By the Associated Press*
Trans-Atlantic plane service to
northern Europe operated by
American overseas airlines was
halted yesterday by a strike of
pilots and in another significanc
action on the labor front negotia
tors sought a wage agreement be
tween commercial print shops in
Baltimore and members of the In
ternational Typographical union.
Tn the Baltimore printing nego
tiations, a new wage clause was
sought. The International Typo
graphical union (ITU* has oeen
charged with violation of thd Taft
Hartley law by failure to negotiate
collectively.
The union at its recent nation
al convention decided to seek post
ed “conditions of employment” in
s' ead of negotiated contracts. The
Baltimore contract expired at mid
night last night and representa
tives of both sides said they could
not guess whether ITU employees
would continue on the ,iob if .in
agreement was not reached.
In Chicago David L. Behncke,
president of the air line pilots as
sociation (AFL* announced that
planes of the American Overseas
Airlines were grounded early yes
terday by a walkout of approxim
ately 100 pilots.

Jews Explode «
Bomb Near Jaffa
Gate In Jerusalem
JERUSALEM, </P>—The explo
sion of a bomb outside an Arab
shop near the Jaffa Gate touched
off an eight-minute general alarm
yesterday in Jerusalem, still jittery
from the bombing of a Haifa po
lice station in which 10 persons
died Monday.
No casualties were reported
from yesterday's bombing, which
police believed was intended to in- ’
timidate Arab shop owners who
have broken an Arab boycott
against trading with Jews.
Almost simultaneously advices ^
from Haifa reported that the en
gine, tender and two coaches of
the Egypt Express had been‘de
railed by a mine explosion on the
Cairo-Haifa line 20 miles south
of the latter city. ^
Officials said there were no cas
ualties in this incident either.
Three ships loaded with more
than 4,500 Jewish immigrants
were reported nearing the Pales
tine coast yesterday in an attempt
to run the British blockade.
