3-Year-Old Girl Escapes Narrowing Ordeal with Locomotive

SALT LAKE CITY R '.As we rounded the bend,p said the railroad fireman, Scott Sargent, i've saw something in the middle of the tracks.
 At first we thought it was a dog and figured it would move as we got closer.
 When we got within 50 feet the dog stood up.
 Tt was a little girl.
 ''I fainted.'
 Engineer w. W. Armstrong jam med on the brakes. But the To- comotive passed over the child and skidded on.
 Brakeman H. w. Schulz leaped from the cab of the still-moving locomotive and ran back along the freight train as it halted.
 T started checking all the wheels, expecting to find her un- der any one of them," he said.
 When got about I50 feet back l heard her cry. There she was, crawling from under a set of wheels toward the front of the train.'
 The girl, 3-year-old Suzy Kay Giron, apparently dropped be- tween the rails again as the loco- motive passed over her, and cow catcher, eight inches off the ground, cleared her body.
 Suzy Kay, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Joe Giron of Salt Lake City, was rushed to hospital anyway. Doctors found a cut on the top of her head and bruise on her cheek. There were no other in- juries.

Alaska's Imports And Exports Show Tremendous Gains in 50

SEATTLE m Running count CT to the national trend, Alaska's imports and exports showed tre- mendous gains in 1860, William Flood, manager of the United States Department of Commerce field office here, said yesterday.
 Tie value of imports through the Alaska Customs District in 196U climbed to $5.7 million, an increase of 84 per cent over 1859. This contrasts with g 3.2 per cent drop for imports into the United States as whole.
 Imports of steel mill products valued at $2.5 million led all other import categories. British exports of steel tube to Alaska at SIT million were twice the value of steel mill products imported from Japan.
 Radar equipment from Canada and transistor radios and radio apparatus from Japan made up the bulk of imports in the electrical group. Fresh or frozen halibut from Canada comprised almost all the imports of fish and fish products.

Prize-Winning
 Red Chemist Takes Asylum in Canada

OTTAWA R = A prize-winning Soviet chemist. Mikhail A. Klot- chko, remained in a secret hide out Thursday after slipping away from a party of visiting Soviet scientists and taking political asylum in canae.a.
 Klotchko, 59, had been awarded the xsS..alin Prize and Order of Lenin, indicating he stood we'll in Soviet scientific circles. He is specialist in inorganic chemistry.
 In Moscow the Soviet Foreign Ministry declined comment on the defection. Spokesmen at the So- viet Academy of Science and the Soviet Academy of Organic Chem istry claimed they had never heard of Klotchko.
 Commissioner c. w. Harvison of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who took Klotchko under his protection, described him as chemist of considerable world  importance 2
 Klotchko was in group of So- viet scientists that came to Canada early in August for the 18th In- ternational Congress on Theoret- ical and Applied Chemistry in Montreal and stayed on to do some sightseeing.
 Klotchko is widower with no family in the Soviet Union.
 Dr. Alan D. ufestland, assistant professor of chemistry at the Uni- scrs:ty of Ottawa, said he had glanced over some of Klotchko's published work and on the basis of these doubted his detection would be of strategic importance to Canada.

$6 billion in buildings. It's

which is both unconstitutional
and dangerous to free educa-

President Kennedy will be
urged to remove his opposi-

what is or Is not constitu-
tional, especially when pre-
vious decisions actually have
upheld certain forms Of aid
to church schools, such as
student grants under the "GI
Bill Of Rights" and payment
Of transportation expenses for
students. Also, in many States
church schools even partici-
pate in the school-lunch pro-
grams which are provided by
the States, together with the
Federal Government, from
public funds. Where State
laws do not permit this, pri-
vate schools can participate
directly in the Federal pro-
gram under a. matching-fund
arrangement.

Increased Comfort to Costroism

The President also has
sent his special assistant,

has set up a distinctly high

No administration could
have done more, in a BIZ
partisan way, to give triple
plated proof of interest and

What has been happening,
however, has beyond doubt
rather chilled the scene.
Mexico and Brazil, the most
influential countries in all
Latin n-America, seem deter
minded to show appreciation
in reverse.
Not only do they refuse us
any shadow Of assistance in
combating the pro-Commu-
mist menace raised to them

by Castroism in Cuba, They
now actually give increasing
comfort to Castroism. The

No amount of CHEEKY flap
doodle can much longer hide
the raw fact that things are
getting worse, not better, for
the United States in Latin
America.
There was much hope here
and also abroad, among
those who really support Pan
American unity - that the
new Presidency of John F.
Kennedy would improve
Western Hemisphere rela-
tions and blunt the strong
subversive thrust of inter-
national Communism.
1t has not done so, though
the President has gone out
Of his way to be sympathetic
and helpful to the Latinos.
and though both political
parties in the Senate have
done the same.
President Kennedy, to this
correspondents direct knowl-
edge, was deeply concerned
even before taking office to
offer every possible concilia-
ton and assistance to the
Latin Americans. From the
very start he has given Latin
America the highest true pri-
ority ever given to it by any
White HouSe-not excluding
that of Franklin D. Roose-
velt in the Good Neighbor'
policy.
Vice President johnson,
too. has quietly put much
thought and effort into the
same objective. And, at the
request Of the President, the
Democratic leader of the
Senate, Mike Mansfield of
Montana, only last month
laid aside much urgent work
here to lead a goodwill
congressional delegation to

Question of Fairness to Catholics Raised
In Stand on Help to Private Schools
DAVID LAWRENCE

Is President Kennedy lean
Ing over backward to avoid
political repercussions from
the so-called religious is
sue?" And. If so, is he really
being fair to millions Of
Catholic citizens-many Of
whom voted for him in the
last election-when he re-
fuses to include in aid-to-
education legislation any pro-
vision for construction loans
to private and parochial
schools?
Many members Of the
Catholic church feel he is
not giving them a square
deal. Representative John
w. Mccormack of Massachu-
sets, Democratic leader Of
the House and himself a
Catholic, differs with the
President and courageouSly
indorses a Federal-loan pro-
gram for all private schools.
News dispatches tell of a
meeting Of five Cardinals
and ten bishops and arch
bishops in Washington a few
days ago. who let it be known
that they intend to continue
to urge Federal loans at low
interest rates for construc-
ton of private schools ire
spective Of whether such
schools teach Protestant or
Catholic religious doctrines.
Senator Mike Mansfield Of
Montana, Democratic leader
Of the Senate, reported after
q breakfast meeting of con-
gresSional leaders at the
White House this week that
President Kennedy neverthe-
less stands firm against aid to
parochial and private ele-
m tary and secondary
schools on the ground that
1t is unconstitutional.
But no explanation Is
forthcoming, on the other
hand, as to why the Presi-
dent considers it is conStitu-
tional for the Federal Gov
ernment to extend financial
aid to students in sectarian
colleges and to pay directly

Of Federal funds are consti-
tutional, just why are con-
struction loans, which have
no possible connection with
religious teaching, barred by
the President?
Representative Mccormack
put it this way in a radio
television interview with SEN
ator Kenneth Keating on
Sunday last:
There are other religious
schools besides parochial
schools-there are Lutheran
schools, and other religions
have schools. and they should

to give q complete and full

nicants There is certain

loans at reasonable rates of
interest for the construction
or the renovation or the re-
pair Of private schools. We're
helping our educational Sys-
tenn, and certainly when we
put through a bill to help the
public schools it has an un-
intentional effect upon the
private-school system. 1t
makes 1t more difficult for
them (the private schools)
to operate and function. I
would clearly and definitely
say that the provision of that
kind (of add is justified, and
I would support it."
Both Mr.. Mccormack and
Senator Heating made the
point that there are also pri-
vate schools which "have no
sectarian connection"
It has often been argued
that the parents Of children
who 60 to religious schools
should send them to public
schools. If this ever happens,
1t would suddenly increase
the taxes Of all citizens by
huge amounts. On this point,
a letter from a high-ranking
member Of the faculty Of a
