Train Leaps Rail; Four to Hospital
PORT JERVIS, N.Y. —(UPI)— The Erie Railroad's Chicago-bound "Pacific Express" leaped the rails on a mountain curve about four miles from here early today.
A passenger and three crew members were injured and were admitted to St. Francis Hospital. Their conditions were reported good.
THE INJURED were Mary Ferguson of Port Jervis, a passenger, and Engineer James McCormack, 62, of Hawthorne, N.J.; Fireman Harold Cooney, 49, Jersey City, N.J.; and Baggageman Frank Seeeber, 49, Port Jervis.
The two-unit diesel locomotive left the tracks on Reynolds curve. Thirteen of the 14 cars were derailed. Nine freight and mail cars and the locomotive overturned. Four passenger cars and the locomotive overturned. Four passenger cars and a sleeper remained upright.
After leaving the rails, the locomotive lurched across the eastbound tracks, scattering railroad ties and twisting the rails into steel bows.
EIGHT OF THE CARS were strung accordion-like across the double tracks. Some were smashed. The second unit of the diesel locomotive broke free, dug holes in the roadbed and ripped open a freight car.

Pickett Article Published
Calder M. Pickett, acting dean of the School of Journalism, recently had an article printed in the Journalism Quarterly. The article is entitled "Technology and the New York Press in the 19th Century" and is based on his doctoral dissertation.
It presents a survey of the advances made by the New York press in the 19th century.

the train was traveling at 50 miles an hour, average speed for the stretch of track.
THE BAGGAGE CAR was almost crushed between two other cars but live men in it escaped serious injury.
About 800 feet of double track right of way was damaged. New York division Trainmaster Howard Hart estimated it would be 24 hours before the wreckage could be cleared and service resumed. The Erie rerouted its freight and passenger trains over Lackawanna Railroad Lines.
About 25 passengers were aboard train 7 when it left Hoboken, N.J., at midnight. All but the injured woman boarded a special Erie train to continue to their destinations.
Candidates Are Rejected
SAN FRANCISCO — (UPI)—Both Sen. John F. Kennedy and Vice President Richard M. Nixon were rejected as presidential candidates yesterday by the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union.
The action was taken by the executive board of the independent union, which is headed by Harry Bridges-whose citizenship the government tried unsuccessfully to revoke on the ground that he was a communist.
In the last election he was a registered Republican.
"In reviewing the records of both major presidential candidates, we find both lacking in any desire for a program to bringing an end to the cold war, which drains our resources and keeps us under the threat of nuclear war.
"A vote for either is a vote against a positive program for peace and progress. We reject both."

Mr. Zook felt that equal employment opportunities for Negroes can be a reality in Lawrence if the Lawrence League for the Practice of Democracy assumes the role in selling the non-discrimination idea to local merchants.
Mr. Zook did not blame the racial problem entirely for the lack of white collar jobs among the Negros.
"Some Negroes apply for jobs without sincere intentions, but do it as a test," said Mr. Zook. "This practice must be stopped or it will make prospective employers suspicious and hurt the anti-discrimination program."
Another reason for the lack of employment according to Mr. Zook is that, the midwest hasn't been industrialized and therefore we haven't the job opportunities that exist on the east and west coasts."
"With the right approach, we can be successful in cleaning up' the hiring practices in Lawrence," said Mr. Zook.
He cited Hallmark Cards, Inc., who recently, and for the first time hired four Negro women to work in white collar positions with the company, as an example of the progress being made in Lawrence.
"The problem in this town is the Chamber of Commerce," said Albert Wright, 211 Missouri St. "I tried to get a job for my daughter as a typist in the City Hall, and the City Manager wouldn't even listen to me."
A Negro, John E. Taylor, 328 Locust, told of the difficulty he had in trying to buy a new house in Lawrence.
"I wasn't shown anything out of an all Negro neighborhood, and when I finally was shown a house in a mixed neighborhood it wasn't fit for rats to live in." he said.
Arthur Davidson, professor of chemistry suggested that KU be used as an example of how smoothly and without incident white and Negroes work side by side.

Stokstad Investigates Spanish Excavation
Marilyn Stokstad, assistant professor of art history, spent last summer studying the sculpture and excavation of an ancient cathedral in Santiago, Spain.
Prof. Stokstad was using a Watkins Study Grant on her trip to the Portico de la Gloria of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.
"The building was built in the 11th century," Prof. Stokstad said.
"However, the sculpture on the west facade, or main entrance to the cathedral, was from a later period. The information concerning the original facade was discovered in a guidebook written about 1135 by a group of pilgrims who stopped at the cathedral. The disappearance of the original masonry was the reason for the investigation this summer during which the area underneath the cathedral was excavated.

Russian Tanks Roll Into Cuba
HAVANA — (UPI) — Russia has supplied Cuba with 80-ton Stalin tanks, a highly placed military source said today.
The source, who asked anonymity, said also that Soviet Mig jet fighters are expected here "within the month."
He said the first class of Cuban Air Force pilots "checked out" in the Russian aircraft has been graduated. At least one Mig trainer has been supplied the Cubans for familiarization flights.
There was no definite information on the number of Russian tanks received.

to the west side of the cathedral, four pieces of the original facade were found." Prof. Stokstad said. Broken, headless bits of statues were discovered, which give the first clue to the appearance of the original facade, she said. "They may cause major revisions to be made in the accepted history of such sculpture."
Prof. Stokstad said the original facade had been torn down and used as building materials by a later mason. The four pieces were the only ones discovered in the excavation.
Photograph Work
Prof. Stokstad worked for several days on the collection of photographs of Spanish Art which the KU Department of Art History has recently acquired. This collection will be one of the largest groups in the United States. Students and faculty may use these photographs on Spanish subjects at the KU Museum of Art second semester.
The remainder of Prof. Stokstad's trip was spent in Greece, Turkey and England where she visited many exhibitions of ancient and medieval art.
Owner Reports Second Floor of House Missing
