San Francisco Chief COllides With
 Two Trailer Oil Rig In Fiery Blast

BAKERSFIELD, Calif., R - A swift Sante Fe passenger train and a two-trailer oil rig collided last night with mighty blast of oil that set jackknifed coaches afire and shriveled the locomo- tive.
 A Sante Fe spokesman said at least 12 persons were killed - two of them still unidentified. The known dead included seven pas sengers, the train engineer and fireman, and the oil rig driver.
 Hospitals treated 68 injured and of these, 45 remained hospitalized.
 The San Francisco Chief No. 2, carrying 76 passengers, had left San Francisco at 11:15 am. and was rolling through lush cotton and alfalfa farmland about seven miles west of this oil-well city 100 miles northwest of Los Angeles. The time was 5:10 pm.; the speed a brakeman said, about 75 mph. the visibility fair-a clouded sum- set.
 Investigators said the oil rig driver apparently had ignored a reflectorized warning sign at the railroad crossing. They said he had paused only momentarily = but did not make full stop-before driving his cargo of more than 1000 gallons of crude oil onto the tracks.
 Witnesses told the investigators the driver seemed to turn his ve- hicle in direction parallel to the tracks at the train bore down on him. Then he fled the cab.

JUNEAU, R-A close vote was expected in the Alaska Senate to- day in the first floor test of senti- ment on the controversial issue of employment security.
 Speculation was that the vote could go either way, by some such margin as II to g.
 At issue was which of two en- ployment security bills to accept.
 One bill calls for a taxable wage base of $7,200, on which contributions to the employment fund would be collected. The measure is backed by Gov. Egan, who last year vetoed jobless in surance bill.
 The other bill would levy a jobless benefit insurance tax on total wages. It was written by Sen. George McNabb, chairman of the Commerce and Labor Com mittee and endorsed by the com- mittee membership. Unlike the governors bill, it calls for in- creased benefits and tax on to- tai wages.
 Under the present law, employ CTS pay 2.7 per cent of each em- ploye's earnings, up to ceiling of $4,200 in wages, making a max imum of S113.40 for each worker. Employees pay one half of one per cent of their earnings, up to a maximum of $21.
 The present maximum benefit allowance is $70 a week for 26 weeks.
 The Governors bill would, pro- vided the tax rate is unchanged, increase employer contributions to

Wholesale Purchase of
 Fishing Licenses Outlawed In 18th Bill Signed by Gov.

JUNEAU, R - Wholesale pur- chase of commercial fishing li- censes is outlawed under a bill signed yesterday by Gov. Egan.
 The bill puts the sale of licenses on a one to a customer basis. Each purchaser will be required to be personally involved in the fish ing activity covered by the per nit.
 The new law is designed to pre- vent outside fishing operators from buying number of licenses in advance and then assigning them to contract fishermen.
 The Governor also approved a bill pro rating among Alaska cities the cost of state adminis- tration of the Federal Social Se- curity program.
 The bills were the 18th and 14th to be signed into law since the legislature convened.

 The train veered crazily on, it's four diesel units aflame, it's for ward trucks knocked off the tracks by the tremendous impact.
 Flame from the initial explo- sion swept back the length of the train, but only forward cars in the tangled tumble caught fire. The first three of the four diesel units were charred to blackened rubble.
 Eleven hundred feet of track were torn up, some of it twisted into grotesque loops around the shattered cars.
 Engineer L. A. Snyder and Fire man A. H. Braley, both of Fresno, were cremated in their cab.
 Eyewitness John Holland said the oil rig driver, John Garrett, left his imperiled vehicle on the tracks, jumped and ran. When the train hit and fire exploded, flames spewed over the running Garrett, who dashed into an irrigation ditch He was burned to a crisp.
 Hours after the crash debris was stil burning. Smoke was so dense before dark fell that cars two miles away needed lights to drive.
 Most of the dead and severely injured were in the first three cars. Two cars were welded to- gether by the tremendous heat
 The scene was one of twisted metal, smoke, ankle-deep oil, cars compressed like accordions.

More Than 5000 Are Killed In Morocco quake
By STEPHEN o. HUGHES

AGADIR, Morocco, R-Stun- ned survivors streamed from earthquake-ravaged Agadir today. A Red Cross official estimated the toll at more than 5000 dead and more than 5000 injured.
 The grim casualty prediction 2,000 more dead than the initial Moroccan government estimate was made by Dr. Albert A. Rain hard, who flew to Agadir from International Red Cross head quarters in Geneva. The US. Air Force, making these estimates public, said they were conser- vative.
 Pleading cries rose from the rubble of Agadir, and rescue workers probed the ruins for un- found survivors and bodies.
 A massive airlift was in pro- gress, carrying the injured north ward to hospitals in other African cities.
 Europe, America and North Af- rica mobilized aid for the Allan tic coast resort shattered Mon day night by two earthquakes and a tidal wave.
 Roads leading north were lined with dazed Moroccans quitting their ruined homes.
 While airlift planes droned in and out on their missions of mercy, Moroccan, French and American military trucks rolled into the disaster area in increas- ing numbers.
 Water and gas mains were broken and empty. There was no electricity except from the emer- gency military generators which powered floodlights for round the-clock digging for bodies and survivors.
 It was reported in Rabat that King Mohammed V had decided to rage the few remaining build ings - all cracked or suffering other damage - and completely rebuild the city.

Two Rescued, Two Still Missing On Arctic Ice FlOe

ANCHORAGE, R - q never thought we had chance. It seem- ed one chance in 10 million the rescue plane could make it."
 Gordon M. Eastman of Omak, Wash, told yesterday of how he and Anchorage flier Warren Johnson spent three days and nights on thin ice in the Chukchi Sea.
 Their plane plunged through an ice floe after running out of gasoline as they were returning from polar bear hunt last Fri day.
 They scrambled onto the ice just before the plane sank. Then they watched as a plane with their two hunting companions aboard, also out of fuel, landed on another ice floe.
 The second plane also sank. The Air Force put four planes and helicopter into the search yes- terday for its two occupants.
 Bush pilot Nelson Walker re- ported receiving a radio message yesterday from one of the men, pilot Leroy Holen of Anchorage.
 With Holen was George Bau- man of Nevada, Mo.
 Eastman and Johnson were spotted from the air and flown to Kotzebue Mond,y. Both were hospitalized for srostbite, but Eastman was released from the hospital yesterday.

Mot the least bit snooty about their exotic
~ blood lines are five friendly and frisky
star bOarderS at the Cheverly, Md, home of
Cheryl Johnson.
Cherri who is 49, has branched out from
one pet an appealing Maltese dog named
Fluff which her father bought for Christmas
two years ago. into dogtraining hobby which
has enveloped her whole household
There are in fact, more dogs than John
sons in the house. Besides Fluff, the canine
colony now includes two other Maltese, Tinka
and Fluffs fourmonth-old daughter Gigi, and
two Lhasa Apsos, Tibetan house dogs.
Both breeds are small and long haired, the
Maltese white and the TibetanS with varied
shadings.
Cherri won the first of her present shoe box
full of ribbons with Fluff at show in Montgom-
cry County She entered the dog in the obe-
dience school of the Canine Training AsSocia-
ton directed by Calvin Pierson at Hyattsville,
and subsequently the family bought Tinka.
AS her interest in training grew, Cherri
read in one of the dog manuals that Mrs.
Eloris Lebmann of the Miradel Kennels, Los
Gatos, Calf, was offering deserving youngsters
a Lhasa Apso dog to train. She began CORE
spending with Mrs. Lehman, and last May,
Won Boi and Mingo arrived. She will pay for
them by selling pups.
Cherri's brother Steven, 10, Maryland
University student joins her in dogtraining
sessions with the Lhasa Apsos on Wednesday
nights Cherri takes the Maltese to advanced
training on Thursdays.
History traces the Maltese dogs back more
than $500 years to the Island of Malta. They
have long silky coats of straight hair through
which they peer with bright button eyes They
weigh five or six pounds.
The Lhasa, developed in Tibet more than
300 years ago, also has long straight coat and

registered in the United States in year, as
compared with about 800 Maltese
With their little undershot jaws, the
LhaSaS always look as though they are laugh
ing" observes Cherri's mother.
The five dogs share affectiOnate diSpOSi-
tons -Cherris father, Give johnson, has no
peace when he gets home from work until he
has petted all five and passion for liver. But
to Cherri each has distinct personality:
Il think Fluff is my favorite because she
was the first She sleeps upstairs with me, and
won't let any of the others come in. But she is
kind oftimid and shy.
''Tink is full of life. AS my mother says she
is always next in line when they are taking
turns
IF you talk roughly to Won Boi. he'll try to
hide his head. You must talk very sweet to
him. He likes baby talk
But Mingo stands right up to a scOlding.
When she does right, she is proud of herself.
She likes to play.
"Gigi the pup, likes to be just like the big
dogs, When Fluff weaned her. she turned to
Won Boi as her friend"
Won Boi never rebuffed the tiny pup, even
when she chewed off wad of his coat.
The dogs live all over the house. They let
the family know when someone is coming but
otherwise are fairly quiet.
Cherri seldom walks around the house
without five devoted friends at her heels. And
in summer when the ice-cream man rings his
bell on Dewey street, the dogs clamor as
eagerly as the children on the block for
treat
AS matter of fact, having the dogs is
very much like having five children around

Question: Where did the ex-
preston quick as you can say
Jack Robinson" originate? One
Of my friends says it refers to
the famous baseball player
who was noted for his base
stealing. That would explain
the quick" part of it, I guess,
But somehow I think the say
ing must be older than that
L. B., Pittsburgh.
Answer: Indeed it is older
than today's Jackie Robinson
about two centuries older, in
fact. While no one knows for
sure where the expression
started, it was listed as early
as 1785 by Francis Grose in his
CLASSICAL DICTIONARY OF
THE VULGAR TONGUE
Grose gave the following un-
likely explanation of its origin:
Before one could say Jack
Robinson is a saying to express
a very short time, originating
from a very volatile gentleman
who would call on his neigh
bors and be gone before his
name could be announced.
Skiddoo to You, Sir: Not
long ago we noted here a pos
sible explanation of the old
slang expression "23 Skiddoo.
Briefly. it was that a character

people being guillotined in the
final scene. The hero was
"Twenty-three"-and the ex-
preston became a favorite of
theater folk to indicate the
time to leave, especially with
"skiddoo" added. Then the ex-
preston became roughly equiv
alent to the more recent slang
term "Scram"
Bob Hanlon, an editor for
Bell Syndicate, passes on an
other version, dating back to
the 1905 when the Flatiron
Building at Twenty-third street
and Broadway in New York
was the towns first skyscraper
and its most glamorous build
ing. The corner was also con-
sidered the city's windiest, so
