The car was struck at a dirt
road grade crossing two miles
north Of Nation by the Illi-

tins were flung as far as $50
feet. Wreckage was carried
one-fourth Of q mile.
Unrecognizable bodies were
identified by initials on class

said they were en- route from

Italy Backs
Vests Plans
For Germany

ROME. May l6 (AP) .--Itai-
ian leaders told United States
Secretary of State Christian A.
Herter today Italy stands firmly
behind the Vests program for
q reunited Germany. Italian
ministry sources reported.
Mr.. Herter few here from
Geneva for SIX hours Of hasty
talks with President Giovanni
Gronchi, Premier Antonio Segni
and Foreign Minister Giuseppe
Pella.
Italy would have liked q for
NAL seat at the foreign minis
tiers talks. When this appeared
impossible. Mr.. Pella few to
Geneva last Saturday for pre-
conference talks with Mr.. Her
ter and the French and British
foreign ministers.
Mr.. Herter's quick return trip
here was regarded with obvious
satisfaction as fulfillment Of his
promise to keep Italy posted.
Mr.. Pella said he was very,
very satisfied"
A joint statement issued at
the airfield when Mr., Herter
left said:
Regarding Italy's participa-
ton in the Geneva conference,
Secretary Herter reiterated
what he has said at Geneva:
That is, should the member
ship in the conference be in
creased. the Western powers
should consider Italy as the
first additional Western nation
to be invited"
The West would propose
Italy if the Russians press their
demand to seat Poland and
Czechoslovakia.
On his arrival. Mr.. Herter
was met BY two prelates from
the Vatican's Secretariat Of
State. They told him that Pope
John XIII sis following with
keen interest the decisions Of
the Geneva conferences"

in the basic construction con-

insure the best possible use Of
the machines.
The group characterized the
country's accelerators as "a ma
tional asset" and stressed the
extraordinarily high cost Of
construction and utilization" Of
the machines.
In laying out the high
energy accelerator program.
the panel offered no concrete
return for an outlay which it
said should rise from about $50
million annually to about Sl35
million by 1868. The need was
expressed in terms Of pure
knowledge:
THE experim e n ter must
have the means for creating
unstable particles in the
laboratory, which is done by
converting the kinetic energy of
accelerated protons or electrons
into the equivalent mass Of the
new particles. Hence the neec
for high energy"
Physics Primer Issued
Accompanying the recon-
mendations was primer" on
subatomic physics, prepared by
DR.. Malyin A. Ruderman of the
University Of California. DR..
Ruderman's paper. entitled "An
Explanatory Statement on Ele-
mentary Particle Physics, is
reproduced elsewhere in today's
Star.
It was the second time in a
little over a year that the adj
ministration furnished the
public a primer on an impor-
tant and unfamiliar area Of
science. A space primer was
released by the White House
March 81. 1858, shortly after
EXPLORER ] and Vanguard !
were launched and a long
range American space program
began to take shape.
Where the space primer dealt
in huge objects and vast dis
tances. the nhvs'cs PRIMER con-
cerned itself with the other
'ex-reme of rnarnitude.
The size of the particles in
volved, DR.. Ruderman said.
ARE to the thickness of a sheet
Of paper as that thickness is to
the distance to the moon"
Minute But Powerful
In addition to size, the study
of particle physics involves
many concepts utterly foreign
to everyday life. Particles that
travel at millions Of miles an
hour but live for, only a bill
lionth of a second, that are so
small they cannot be measured
by ordinary standards but have
explosive power a thousand
times that of a fissioning atom
are almost impossible for the
average man to comprehend.

energy accelerator physics was
