London Residents Home After Narrowing
Experience On Snowbound Train; Arrived
Here Wednesday Evening By Automobile
Johnsons Spent
Three DAYS On
HeatIess Train

Mrs. Jack johnson and daughter,
Judy returned to their home in
London late Wednesday after sur
viving from Saturday through
Monday afternoon on snowbound
train in the plains of Kansas. And
most of the time they were with
out food, heat or light, and with
rapidly diminishing supplies of air
and water.
AS Judy put the situation "The
mistake was in leaving Liberal,
Kansas, after the tough trip into
the town" It was shortly after
that when the train was practical
ly buried in snow drifts with 226
persons aboard, and no emergency
equipment.
Temperature dropped to % de-
grees and food supplies rapidly
failed. The trains electrical sys-
tenn did not provide sufficient pow
er, and all outside light was cut off
by the snow banked against the
sides of the train. Only few peo-
pie had flashlights, and the effect
of the few moving lights was des-
cribed as eerie in the darkness OF
the train.
Reports indicated that organiza-
tion was almost completely absent
and passengers tore curtains from
the windows in efforts to keep
warm. The cars were frequently
evacuated, packing the passengers
into others, as oxygen was used
from the air. Several people be-
came very i'll during the three day
ordeal, and those who cam
through without i'll effects were
considered fortunate
The Johnsons recalled that panic
was not uncommon during the
three day period, and that the mer
seemed more prone to panic thar
the women. One colorful little old
lady" aboard had the only bottle
of smelling salts available, and Of
fered her services to all needing
aid. The lone doctor aboard had nc
medication with him, and he soon
became partially i'll from the ex-
perience.
Late Tuesday Mr. Johnson fin
ally contacted railway officials ir
Meade, Kansas, and learned that
his family had been taken from the
train. and housed in a school house
in that city. They were hauled
from the train in school busses
over roads made by army tanks.
Mrs. Johnson praised the Ameri-
can Red Cross for the efforts they
expended in making resting facili-
ties available for those rescued
She said the Red Cross provided
beds and food the night of the res
cue, and breakfast the following
morning before the trains were
able to proceed eastward.
Meanwhile, Jack Johnson had
| found that the train. with his fam
lily was due in St Louis early
Wednesday morning, and he drove
there to bring them home by auto
mobile. The three arrived in Lon
don shortly after dark Wednesday
and said Never before had Lon
don really looked so good"
According to Judy, 'The most
agonizing part of the experience
was wondering how long it would

tary intelligence should be
seen at least no more often
than the cultural ones. This is
sheer drama critic type thinking
and perhaps the world has been
smart in keeping it in its place.
Highlight of the meeting, at
the Cosmos club. was the visit
of F. r. Crawley, a Canadian
documentary film expert, who
dropped down from Ottowa
with a couple of factual films.
This is the journalistic cinema
for which Canada is famous,
has been ever since John Grier-
son and the National Film
Board, and which is obviously
being carried on with easy
competence and charm by Mr..
Crawley.
He showed two films, one
a report on Saskatchewan's
first so years, and another on
Eskimo art, the latter called
THE Legend of the Raven. !"
The first turned out to be a
sort of Robert w. Frost poem,

Toes'D, one senses that Keat-
ing's original was written with
the documentary accuracy Of a
lawyer. On this score, it has
been well directed by Arnold
Laven, who knows quite a lot
about writing an editorial with
movie camera.
The performances in the
film at Keith's show a sound
understanding and a subdued
feeling that extremes of vio-
lence need a minimum of act
ing stress.
Mr.. Egan. who has one of the
keenest of the new acting minds
in Hollywood, is an altogether
persuasive sort in the principal
role. He substitutes a kind of
exasperated doggedness for the
fiery brilliance of purely f1c-
tional D. A. assistants.
1t is part of his own and the
films honesty that it makes SO
much of his mistakes of both
judgment and familiarity with
the technicalities of the law.
Other good performances in
the film are those of Jan Ster-
ling as the shooting victim S
faithful, unglamorous wife; Dan
Duryea as the racketeers' slick
legal mouthpiece;; Walter Mat
thau as the rackets boss;
Charles McGraw as the police
lieutenant who hates labor
hoodlums; and Sam Levene
as the older D. A. staff men,
Der who has survived many
a shattered ideal on his job.
Altogether, they make

Journalism in large black type

Mr.. Heating is the Egan

The assistant district attor-
ney played by Egan brings to
his first case one of those COM

His work begins when a good

pier is shot down as he leaves
his apartment. The wounded
man names his aSSailants to his
wife, the first to reach him, but
by the time the law arrives
everyone is back to loyalty to
the code. The code. of course,
is the one that says everyone
involved in these outbreaks
must clam up to the police and
wait for a chance to settle
shootings personally.
The screenplay, piece of
straight, fortnight writing, pits
Egan against this ritual. With
a minimum of fireworks. it lets
him proceed step by step to bring

MIDTOWN NEW YORK
Still Another Bowl.
By ROBERT SYLVESTER

NEW YORK.-On December
20 at San Antonio. Tex, the
National Milk Bowl will feature
its ninth annual football game.
Perhaps not as famous as the
other games around the coun-
try this game for grammar
school boys nonetheless has one
of the most interesting histories
Of all.
In 1949. Elizabeth and
Eugene Weafer were living and
teaching on the Navajo Indian
Reservation. The Weafers
organized a football tie am,
among other things. and soon
the team was playing other
little boy teams from Texas
and beating them with such
regularity that the newspapers
began to take notice. The news
stories generally featured the
lonely life Of the Weafers and
their own five children at Four
Corners and one story had the
line:
1.-THE Weafer children play
with uranium they find in their
own backyard"
This started a uranium rush
to the neighborhood which at
the time was considered a
tragedy because no high grade
ore had yet been found there.
The Weafers moved out of the
area and millions of dollars
worth of uranium was promptly
there. The Weafers
filed no claims.
The Milk Bowl small fry
game continued to grow. This
year 80 boys will be selected
from all over the United States
to play the local champs.
They'll have a trip to the tabled
King Ranch, parades, and all
the big-time hoopla. The game
may even get a live national
telecast.
