Germany's famed "stormer Of Lege"

Reviving World War memories as
he received congratulations on the

conscription succeeded, had the gov

allied what was coming, had the

Practically all Of the passengers
injured were either cut by glass Or
pushed by the frantic, exit-seeking
crowd. Witnesses said at least half
the riders jumped out windows after
smashing the glass. To do this they
had to climb over the safety" bars
in the windows, put there to prevent
car occupants from leaning too far
out. Many persons landed on the
street while the car still was in motion.
In the first rush for exits, the
frightened crowd jammed so tightly
against the big center door of the old
model car that Conductor D. H. Jef1er-
son was prevented from opening it by
the control system. The opposite door
was then forced open by persons
on the street, who pushed 1t in.
Quick thinking on the part Of
Motorman Jesse DUNCAN Of 80
Sherman circle, who shut off the
controls after shouting a warning to
the passengers, probably saved more
serious damage.

Although Senators on both sides Of

proposal, there was q strong belief

to accept less than the six new judges

Executive would like to talk to them.
At his press conference today Mr..
