ADDRESSES UN:
Eden Asks En
Of Name-Calling
PARIS-()-British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden yesterday
appealed for a truce to "name calling and angry words" in the United
Nations.
He urged the Russians to quit laughing and study seriously the
western big three's arms census and limitation plan as a new start
on the road to peace.
THE ANSWER to what many delegates regarded as a conciliatory
approach by Eden in his first UN speech since the days of the San
Francisco founding conference in 1945 was not long coming..
Polis delegate Stefan Wierblowski fired back in the Assembly that
the arms proposals laid down by Secretary of State Dean Acheson and
backed firmly by Eden are "an-

Scores Hurt;
Snow Delays
Rescue Job
Train Rammed
At SignalStop
EVANSTON, WYO. - (A)-Two
Eastbound streamlined passenger
trains crashed in a driving snow-
storm yesterday, piling up wreck-
age in a giant junk heap.
Union Pacific authorities said
20 were known dead and six miss-
ing.
Eight were seriously hurt and
hospitalized. Scores more-some
sources, estimated more than a
hundred-were treated for minor
injuries.
* * *
THE CRASH occurred at Wyuta,
on the Wyoming-Utah border sev-
en miles west of Evanston, about
80 miles northeast of Salt Lake
City.
The Union Pacific's City of Los
Angeles halted for a block signal.
It was bashed in from the rear by
the City of San Francisco.
The three-unit diesel power
plant of the second train
crushed five cars of the halted
train. Cars of the second train
left the tracks in a zigzag fash-
ion, but remained upright. -
Show on the ground at the
wreck scene averaged a foot deep,
but was drifted deeper in places.
A creek ran nearby but bulldozers
quickly filled it in to make rescue
work easier.
Snow eased up during the after-
noon hours but began again at
nightfall. Workmen rigged flood-
lights. The temperature was be-
low freezing.
* * *
STANDING ON A passing track
as the streamliners crashed was
a freight train. Several of its cars
were pushed off the track by the
jacknifing cars of the City of San
Francisco. Some of the freight
cars tipped over.
Ambulances were summoned
from communities as far away
as Salt Lake City. One from Hill
Air Force Base near Ogden,
Utah, cracked up 30 miles from
the wreck scene. It smashed
into a rock cliff alongside the
highway but there were no in-
juries.
Bodies were brought to an im-
provised morgue at the Evanston
city hall. Most seriously injured
were brought to the Uinta County
Memorial Hospital here. Other
injured went to the American Le-
gion Hall.
For hours, officials made no ef-
fort to identify the dead and in-
jured. They waited until as many
as possible of the injured were
cared for. -

miles west of here yesterday.

U. S. Highway 30-South paral-

other maneuver . . . masqueraded
in a cloak of peace initiative."
Soviet Foreign Minister An-
drei Y. Vishinsky also served
notice he will speak at the end
of the debate, perhaps late this
week, to answer Eden, Acheson
and others.
Eden said Vishinsky's "cataract
of abuse" against the big three
proposals "saddened me, as I
think it must have saddened and
discouraged the millions through-
out the world who read or heard
of it."
"IN ALL our actions we seek
peace," he said, speaking firmly
while Vishinsky who has said he
could not read the Western pro-
posal without laughing, set back
and listened.
"Yet our proposals are laughed
to scorn. I must admit that I do
not understand or accept such
methods. I do not believe-or ask
you to believe-that in any dispute
one party is one hundred per cent
a black villain, and the other one
hundred per cent snow white.
That's against the law of aver-
ages."

Anglo-U.S. !
Conference
TopicsSet
LONDON--()-Prime Minister
Churchill indicated yesterday by
his choice of three ministers as
traveling companions that he
wants to talk about atomic secrets,
Britain's feeble economy and a
meeting with Stalin when he visits
President Truman early in Janu-
ary.
A wide range of Anglo-Ameri-
can foreign policies and western
strategy will enter into the talks,
it was indicated in a 48-word
statement from No. 10 Downing
Street.
. * * *
IT SAID Foreign Secretary An-
thony Eden; Lord Ismay, Secre-
tary for Commonwealth Relations,
and Paymaster General L o r d
Cherwell would go with Churchill
to Washington "in the first days
of January."
Lord Cherwell long has been
a personal advisor to Churchill
on scientific matters and is in
charge of- Britain's Atomic En-
ergy program. Churchill is eager
to restore the war-tihe Brtish-
American partnership In atomic
development.
He is reported to have ordered
Cherwell to test Britain's first
bomb within six months if pos-
sible in order to restore sinking
British prestiege among many
smaller countries of the world. He
likely will take steps to reassure
Americans of Britain's security ar-
rangements in a bid for greater
sharing of atomic secrets.
Lord Ismay was Churchill's
right-hand man during the war
in drawing together the many
strands of military and strategic
policy.
Churchill is expected to seek a
closer Anglo-American partner-
ship within the sprawling Atlantic
Alliance.
Russia Urged
To Keep Word
About Austria
WASHINGTON - (A) -- The
State Department called on Soviet
Russia yesterday to fulfill its war-
time pledge of freedom and inde-
pendence for Austria.
In recognition of Austria "as a
member of the community of na-
tions," the United States also
raised its minister to Vienna to
the rank of ambassador. France
and Great Britain have followed
suit.
WHEN Walter J. Donnelly be-
comes United States Ambassador
and High Commissioner, Austria's
representative in Washington, Dr.
Ludwig Klein-Waechter, will also
assume ambassadorial status.
Under Secretary of State James
E. Webb assured Klein-Waechter
that this government will continue
its efforts to conclude an Austrian
peace treaty and arrange for the
withdrawal of all occupation
forces.
"It is the constant hope of this
government," Webb said in a note
to Klein-Waechter, "that Austria's
full freedomrand independence
may be restored as provided in
the Moscow declaration."
Austria's President, Theodor
Koerner appealed to the Big Four
Sunday to end the occupation.

MANILA - () - Fighting be-
tween the Philippines Army and
Communist Huks flared north of
Manila today as die-hard Reds
made fresh attempts to disrupt to-
day's Philippine elections.
There are some 4,000,000 regis-
tered voters throughout the Is-
land. Most are expected to go to
the polls under the protection of
more than 66,000 Philippines army
regulars and reservists. Thousands
of volunteer non-partisan poll
watchers also were on hand.
NATIONAL DEFENSE Secre-
tary Ramon Magsaysay pledged
the aid of the Army to prevent
intimidation of voters by armed
gangs, a common practice in the
past.
The critical off-year election
will decide the seats of nine
senators-at-large, 46 provincial
governors and all city mayors
and councilmen.
The campaign since mid-Sep-i
tember has been splattered by vio-
lence both by the Communist-led
Huks and gun-toting followers of
rival candidates. The death toll:
alone stands at 96 persons, while
others including poll watchers and.
election officials have been ab-
ducted and injured.
Early yesterday at Santa Ana,
less than 30 miles north of Man-
ila, a woman and a soldier were
killed and four soldiers and four
children wounded by Huks. Seven
Huks were reported slain by a
defending force of police and a
small army unit before the rebels
retreated.
The Huks burned the Santa Ana
City Hall including 30 ballot boxes
and registration lists.
Army reinforcements and some
300 Huks still battled around Mt.
Ara-yat, 12 milts northwest of
Santa Ana, late yesterday.

South To Stay
Loyal to Party
HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - (AP) -
House Speaker Sam Rayburn of
Texas pleaded with southern gov-
ernors last night to remain loyal
to the Democratic nominee in next
year's presidential election-or see
the South's position crumble in
Congress.
The Texan fired a hard-hitting
broadside against states righters
who have been talking of revolt if
Mr. Truman is the party's presi-
dential nominee.
"I'm going to support the Demo-
cratic nominee whoever he is,"
Rayburn declared.
He said a southern revolt
would only elect a Republican
president and could not elect an
independent candidate.
Then he added: "and every
southern man who holds a re-
sponsible place in Congress will
lose his position."
Rayburn added: "I don't have
great patience with those people
who go around trying to create a
lack of faith in the honesty, in-
tegrity and efficiency of our legis-
lative and executive branches of
government in days like these."
Rayburn first outlined the
theme of his address at a news
conference shortly before he car-
ried his plea to the Southern Gov-
ernors Conference.

police, but the local gendarmes
didn't interfere.
Pictures were taken by a pho-
tographer from McCall's maga-
zine, to be used in conjunction
with a photo feature on young
voters of the United States.
According to Henry Ehrlich,{
managing editor of the magazine,
the political rally photos taken
yesterday will be used to illustrate
the experience American youth get
working in campus politics.
Ehrlich, who is directing pro-
duction of the feature, said it will
comprise four or five pages in an
early spring issue of the magazine.
BAD TYDINGS:
Clever Faker,
Joe Declares
MILWAUKEE -(IP)- Senator
Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis.) said
yesterday former Senator Millard
E. Tydings is a "clever little faker"
for offering a reward for indict-
ments of the Communists Mc-
Carthy alleges have worked in the
State Department.
In a "Dear Joe" letter to Mc-
Carthy Sunday, the Maryland
Democrat said he was doubling his
reward offer to $10,000 for anyone
obtaining indictments against Mc-
Carthy's "205 or 57" Communists.
"Dear Millard: You clever little
faker," McCarthy's reply letter
said.

Flights Over
Panmunjom
Slow Truce
UN Planes Blast
Red Fortifications
By The Associated Press
Allied and Red negotiators re-
newed their cease-fire talks yes-
terday in a tense atmosphere
whipped up by new Communist
charges of security violations, as
Allied warplanes roared out in
the clearing skies, to pound Com-
munist transport and new air-
fields last night.
The implied threat of a new
snarl in the peace negotiations
cast its- shadow over the circus
tent at Panmnunjom where the
joint subcommittee met at 9 p.m.
yesterday.
THE CHINESE Communist ra-
dio at Peiping broadcast' a new
charge that UN warplanes flew
over the Panmunjom area Sunday
and yesterday. Both sides agreed
that such flights should be pro-
hibited except under "weather or
technical conditions beyond co-
trol ."
In Toyko, Gen. Matthew B.
Ridgway warned that the out-
come' of the Panmunjom talks
can not "be accurately foretold."
Tokyo Headquarters of the Al-
lied Commander in Chief released
Ridgway's statement a few hours
before the 20th meeting of sub-
committee members was scheduled
to open at Panmunjom.
Ridgway's statement declared it
would also be difficult to predict
what would follow the "success or
failure of these discussions." His
message was sent to a meeting of
the National Association of Radio
News Directors in Chicago.
A semi-official Communist com-
mentary, broadcast by the Peiping
radio, lashed at the United Nations
Command for failing to accept a
Communist proposal for drawing a
buffer zone across Korea im-
mediately.
ON THE battle front the Fifth
Air Force claimed at least ten
locomotives destroyed and three
damaged.
Warships bombarded the Red
Korean coasts and shelled Won-
san port for the 270th straight
day.
On the ground, Allied units yes-
terday seized two hills on the cen-
tral front in a. three-quarters mile
advance forging during an all-day
drizzle.
All-weather B-29 superforts fly-
ing from Okinawa and Japan also
hit the new fields at Saamcham
and Namsi.
Peron Absent
After victory
BUENOS AIRES --(R)- Presi-
dent Juan D. Peron, jubilant over
his reelection to a six-year term,
was still on leave of absence from
his office yesterday and there was
no official indication when he
would return.
With 75 per cent of' the vote
counted from Sunday's national
election, the presidential race
showed: Peron 3,341,333; Ricardo
Balbin, Radical 1,756,960. None of
the other six parties' presidential
candidates was close.
When he vacated his office Nov.
1 with the avowed intention of
freeing the voters from any pres-
sure, Peron said he would be back

the day after election.
