Hot Debate Seen Over UMT Issue WASHINGTON (UP)—Lawmakers today predicted hot debate in Congress next year over a government commission's call for universal military training (UMT) as long range protection in the "morning." Taft, McMahon Have Heated Debate Over TV CINCINNATI (UP)—Senator Robert A. Taft (R-Ohio) declared here yesterday the Korean war has "demonstrated that the United Nations is an utter failure as a judge." Hot Debate Seen Over UMT Issue WASHINGTON (P)—Lawmakers today predicted hot debate in Congress next year over a government commission's call for universal military training (UMT) as long range protection in the "mortal struggle with Soviet communism." The new National Security Training Commission's blueprint for UMT envisions eventual training of 800,000 American youths annually at a cost which could run to more than $2,000,000,000 the first year. The commission's recommendations to Congress, made public last night, were submitted under terms of a 1951 law which extended the draft and approved the broad idea of UMT. That law, enacted last June, requires further congressional action to put UMT into effect. The commission urged that the implementing legislation it recommended be approved "without delay" when Congress reconvenes next January: It added, however, that uncertain world conditions—notably the situation in Korea—make it impossible to forecast when the proposed training program could be started. But a start at the earliest practicable time is imperative, the commission declared, because "the clear prospect is that the present generation must live in danger for many years." MORE ABOUT... Bus Crash (Continued from Page 1) happened in just that way. Early in the morning, Boatswain Mate Orville Russell, 26, left his Richmond home to wake up the navy cooks at Treasure Island—his first duty of the day. He drove onto the MacArthur boulevard distribution ramp—the intricate cloverleaf at the east end of the San Francisco-Oakland bridge across the bay—and for reasons still unexplained, his car struck a concrete dividing wall. Taft, McMahon Have Heated Debate Over TV CINCINNATT (P)—Senator Robert A. Taft (R-Ohio) declared here yesterday the Korean war has "demonstrated that the United Nations is an utter failure as a means of preventing aggression." The Ohio Senator, a candidate for the Republican nomination for president, made the statement in a television (NBC's Forum of the Air) debate with Senator Brian McMahon (D-Conn). Their arguments became heated and loud at times as they debated the source of Russia's present strength. Taft said the Democratic administration built up Russia, McMahon called Taft's statement "absurd" and added that "the strength of Russia comes from inside Russia itself." McMahon asserted Taft's bid for the Republican presidential nomination is based on an isolationist" policy. The Ohio countered with the statement that his policy is one of preventing a war "unless it is to protect the liberty of the United States."

Some soldiers jumped into a nearby stream to extinguish their He drove onto the MacArthur boulevard distribution ramp—the intricate cloverleaf at the east end of the San Francisco-Oakland bridge across the bay—and for reasons still unexplained, his car struck a concrete dividing abutment. Two big pieces of concrete were knocked into the adjacent traffic lanes as his car swerved along for 114 feet and turned over, pinning him under the wreckage. He was injured critically. Passing motorists were trying to free Russell when the bus bore down on the scene three minutes later. Squarely in its path lay one of the concrete blocks, a chunk nearly four feet long and a foot and a half thick. Highway patrolmen said driver Elshire apparently tried to straddle the concrete block, but it was too high. The left front tire blew out. As the massive bus careened, it tore out 40 feet of heavy iron pipe railing before going off the ramp. It struck heavily in the Key system rail yards 40 feet below, pancaking the bus top and pinning all of the passengers in the battered wreckage. The engine continued to run as the bus lay on its broken top, Charles B. Taylor, one of the first to rush to the scene, crawled in and switched off the motor, reducing the danger that it would ignite the vehicle's fuel. Some of the injured—once they gathered their consciousness—were able to climb out afterward. MORE ABOUT... Stage Set (Continued from Page 1) Committee. Tickets for the entire event are $1 plus tax.

Grant W. Harshbarger of Reno, 16, said the accident occurred at 5:22 a.m. (PST.) "I was awake and sitting a few seats back of the driver," the boy explained. "And I had a stopwatch. I felt the bus hit something and then it felt as if a tire had blown. I said to myself that I wanted to make sure that the time was known because of this." "It happened so fast that I didn't know we were going through the air or anything. Next thing I knew I found myself on my back with people on top of me. I squeezed through a window and a cop helped me out." First Baptist To Conduct 11-Day Crusade Dr. Harold L. Fickett, pastor of the First Baptist church of Pomona, is to be the featured speaker at the Crusade for Christ to be conducted by the First Baptist church, Broadway at Citron, Anaheim, at 7:30 nightly from Nov. 3 to 14. This is part of an evangelistic effort being held simultaneously among Baptist churches belonging to the Santa Ana Valley Baptist Assn., according to Rev. Bob Kevorkian, pastor. Dr. Fickett is one of the outstanding young preachers in America, Rev. Kevorkian said. He began preaching at the age of 19 while studying for the ministry at Baylor University in Texas. Later he took his graduate studies at Southern Baptist Theological seminary in Louisville, Ky., East- Star Pitcher Rotary Guest Jack Salveson, genial pitcher for the Hollywood Stars, was the guest speaker at the Anaheim Rotary club this noon. Jack swapped baseball dope with the club. He said Casey Stengel, of the champion New York Yankees, "is a great guy, a great comedian, and as smart as they come. He has everybody for him at all times." Salveson explained the shortage of televised Stars baseball games by saying the club got the smallern Baptist Theological seminary in Philadelphia and Princeton Theological seminary in Princeton, N. J. He was junior tennis champion in Texas in 1936. He served as a chaplain with the USNR in World War II, taking part in the two Jima and Okinawa invasions. share of the TV income in 1950 and wanted to put the deal on a better paying basis for the club in 1951. It was touch and go with the TV stations, however, and only 25 games were televised. The pitcher advised kids to concentrate on pitching fast balls, curves, and change of pace and to leave the other pitches alone because they are arm wreckers. Salveson was introduced by Ben Stakemiller. During the meeting Hugh Bridgford, meat packer, and Dr. Al Behrendt, physician, were inducted into the club. Dick Gay, president, managed the club from the first base coach's box.
