McRAE, Ga. June 8 (AP).-
Fear gripped this South Central
Georgia community today as
wrecking crews began the tick
lish task of removing two de-
rallied railroad tank cars con-
tanning 10000 gallons of dam
gerous chlorine gas.
The main railroad line was
cleared about 8:45 am. of de-
bris left by the derailment OF
10 Southern Railway freight
cars. The wrecking crews con-
centrated on the two filled with
the irritating and potentially
suffocating gas.
The vice president Of a chem
ical firm in Atlanta, William
Mackle, pointed out that. al
though chlorine is highly dam
gerous. it is a slow-moving gas
and not difficult to escape,
Moreover. it is non-explosive
except that daytime rising tenn
peratures tend to increase the
pressure under which 1t is con-
fined in the mounted tanks.
The two cars, covered with
pulpwood, lay beside a shat
tered warehouse one block north
of McRae's Main street and
40 feet from U. s. Highway AL.
McRae is a town of about $500.

The rocket ship Xl5, expected
some day to carry man 100
miles high at 1000 miles an

glide test today.
A brief announcement said
everything went as planned.
This means the ship was
dropped at $4,000 feet from q

four or five minutes and land

for a Berlin agreement after

The Christian Democrats
faced an uphill struggle In their
fight to win back control in
this strategic mid-Mediterra-
mean island which they lost
after a split within their own
ranks last winter.
Many political observers pre-
dicted they would have TO form
o coalition with the Monarch
ist-Fascist right TO keep the
challenging Red left out Of the
Sicilian government.
The stake Is big. One out Of
every 10 voters in Italy lives on
this island where NATO has
important bases and the United
States 9Th Fleet has an emer-
gency refueling point.
The voting was for the 90
seats Of the autonomous re-
gional assembly which sits in
Palermo's S00-year-old Norman
Castle.
Balance Of Power
The 1855 election gave the
Christian Democrats 81 seats,
the Communists and pro-Com-
munist Socialists 80 seats. the
Monarchists Q, the Fascists g.
the Democratic Socialists 3 and
the Liberals 8.
The balance Of power went
last winter to Mr.. Milazzo,
wealthy landowner and long,
time Christian Democrat, who
split with his party, contending
the government in Rome was
ignoring Sicily. Four other
Christian Democrats bolted the
party with him to form the
Christian Social Union: They
were joined by the Commun-
lists, Socialists, Fascists and
Monarchists to form q ma
jority.
MI. Milazzo was elected reg
ional president. He then gave
the Red left and Fascist right
their rst cabinet posts in the
regional administration since
l947.
The Roman Catholic Church
warned Catholics against vot-
ing for those who were allied
with atheistic Communism and
made plain that 1t meant Mr.,
Milazzo. But 1t was predicted
Mr.. Milazzo might win 10 seats,
and most observers said that II
