SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. g.
(UP)-A house to house canvas
established that 80 children and
one adult were aboard a school
bus when a freight train smashed
into it here yesterday. OF those,
23 were killed and three injured
so severely they probably will die.
The remaining ID suffered hurts
of various degrees.
SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. q
(UP)-Twenty-three persons-22
school children and a bus driver
were killed yesterday in a school
bus-train crash at crossing and
last night teachers were checking
their rolls to determine il there
were more dead.
The death list had not been COM
pleted because the bodies were so
badly torn that it was almost i'm
possible to tell how many had been
killed. At least II were injured,
many SERIOUSLY. .
Hysterical parents were called
to help identify the dead and the
injured while the teachers-ats Jor-
dan high school aided by going
through the rolls and checking abb
sentees.
Later school authorities decided
upon a house-to-house check of the
school district in which the chill
dren lived. They said such check
was the only means of determin-
ing definitely the number and iden-
tity of the dead.
A score were killed instantly
when the bus moved up onto the
track yesterday morning during a
binding snow and sleet storm, and
was struck by a Denver and Rio
Grande Western freight train rae
ing at 81 miles an hour.
The victims ranged in age from
IL to 18. Their lunch boxes. books
and musical instruments were scat
tered for quarter of a mile along
the railroad right of way at Lamp.
ton, beet loading station south OF
Salt Lake City.
Eyewitnesses and survivors last
night described the horror of the
tragedy. Marjory Groves, who was
injured said "I just looked out the
window as we were starting across
the track and there was blur
guess it was the train-and then ]
was lying in the snow beside the
track" She was not injured seri-
ously.
David Witter of Denver, Colo,
a transient aboard the train, said

first we had hit a herd of cattle. f"
Fragments of bodies filled a half
dozen baskets, he said. He told of
rushing to help one girl who "was
screaming and screaming, but she
died before I could get to her."
The division superintendent's Of
flee of the railroad said that 26
had been killed, according to fig
ures compiled at the scene of the
accident, but this could not be
checked at hospitals and mortua-

LONDON, Dec. 2. (UP)-There
was increasing evidence today
that further revisions of European
frontiers must be made before the
hope of general appeasement can
be realized. Dispatches told OF
territorial disagreements between
Italy and France, Czechoslovakia
and Poland, and Rumania and
Hungary.

Wednesday for Foreign Minister
Galeazzo Ciano as opening a new
phase Of the European politica
situation, in which Italy will take
q leading role. Foremost on his
program is an attempt to better
relations with France-at price
His speech was interrupted by in
spired cries, in the presence of the
