Napierski, 46, of 3335 Curwood, driver of the auto, and her son, Frederick, 6, were rushed to Pontiac General Hospital where they are reported in critical condition. Both suffered severe cuts and broken bones. Bus passenger Arthur Kleiman, 66, of Chicago, reported a chest and leg injury from being jolted against the seat in front of him. The bus, en route from De- troit te Mackinaw City, had left the Pontiac terminal only 15 min- utes before the 9:50 g.m. crash. Mrs. Napierski's car was pinned between the bus and a telephone pole. Witnesses said the car was accordioned to only one-fourth its natura! width. Trooper Gerald J. Tafel of the Pontiac State Police Post said the woman was making a left turn from the southbound line of the highway. He said a truck, stopped in the north lane for the . traffic light, apparently hid the bus which was proceeding northward through the intersection. The bus hit the car broadside, pushing it into the telephone pole. The bus was reported traveling at from 30 to 35 miles and hour in the 45 m.p.h. zone and had the green light. The bus driver was William H. Long, 40, of Detroit Passengers continued their trip on another bus dispatched from Detroit. Mrs. Napierski’s daughter, Bet- ty, 24, said her mother was re- turning home from a beauty parlor in Drayton Plains.

It conforms more to Eisenhower's view, as he expressed it Wednesday, and endorsed by Sec- retary of State Dulles yesterday. The statement was in opposition to a resolution calling on the gov- ernment ‘‘to re-examine its policy regarding the U.N.” if Red China is admitted. A fresh statement of the admin- istration’s attitude was given Con- gress today by Asst. Secretary of State Thruston B. Morton. Morton wrote Chairman Chiper- field (R-II) of the House Foreign Affairs Committee that if Red China joined the U.N. or any of its 10 specialized agencies, “‘it is axiomatic that we would re-exam- ine our policy regarding the organ- ization concerned, in the light of the circumstances then existing.” Truman Departs From Hospital Ex-President Appears Well as He Leaves for Independence KANSAS CITY #—Former Pre#- ident Harry S.

Taken from the family car as she lay beside the body of her three-year-old son in the fume- filled garage behind her Birming- ham home last night, Mrs. Betty Jane Howitt was being held police prisoner in St. Joseph Mercy Hos- pital today. Hospital authorities reported her in fair condition and “respond- ing to treatment.” 5 The 37-year-old housewife's un- conscious form was found sprawl- ed across the driver's seat. the floor next to her, wrapped in a blanket. A second blanket had been stuf- fed against the garage door. Al- though the ignition was in the “on” position, the auto's motor was not running when the. discov- ery was made shortly after 7 p.m. Mrs. Howitt’s husband, Clyde, a toolmaker, told police his wife had been upset since a son by a pre- vious marriage, Jack Ott, 18, had left their home three weeks ago. St. Howit’s father, Milward T., of 23712 13-Mile Rd., Southfield Township, found the two in the garage after his son called to tell him Mrs. Howitt had failed te pick him up at work and did not answer the telephone.

The space particle went through the film pack like a bullet through a deck of cards. In doing so it pro- duced a scientifically thril- ling sequence of what ap- pears to be the conversion of earthly matter into ener- gy and then a reconversion of this energy into another form of earthly matter. A report of the event was made before a meeting of the American Physical Society here yesterday by its discoverer, Dr. Marcel Schein, one of this country's foremost cos- mic ray scientists. Dr. Schein said the only con- clusion he could make so far wae that the strange visitor was something which nuclear scien- tists have been seeking for years —an antiproton. The term antiproton is an excit- ing word even among atom scien- tists. It ig their way of describing the basic particle out of which re- verse matter presumably is made. This is called ‘‘contra-terrene mat- ter,” or “matter against the earth.” Theoretically, an antiproton is the counterpart or ‘opposite num- ber” of a proton. The on is the core of the hydrogen atom and the main substance out of which all ordinary matter is made.

DAVID NEW YORK ® — The New York Stock Exchange's share - buying plan for small investors, a growing four-million-dollar baby, will be six months old July 2. Four million dollars is the amount of stock bought by nearly 20,000 persons participating in the plan. By stock market standards, that’s hardly huge, but exchange officials say they’re gratified and brokerege houses agree that the plan has a big potential. * ¢ *« The Monthly Investment Plan, as it is called, is tailored for the fellow who wants to buy stocks but doesn't have an accumulation of capital to do it with. Under the plan, he may arrange with a mem- ber firm of the New York Stock Exchange to make regular pur- chases of stock in amounts of from $40 every three months to as much as $1,000 a month. s s * The investor deposits q stated amount with his broker and makes regular purchases of stock at the market price. If the market price goes up, he gets less stock. If the price goes down, he gets more stock. If he keeps it up with reg- ular monthly or quarterly pur- chases, he'll hav3 a good-sized amount of steek—at--an- average price. Ninety per cent of those signing up under MIP are new investors, the exchange says. So far, 67.3 per cent have been men, 16.7 wom- en and 16 joint accounts. The ex- change says 76 per cent of the investors are leaving their divi- dends in their accounts to be re- invested. a * “The plan is showing the public who tan buy stocks and how to buy them,” says one exchange of- ficial. ‘‘It emphasizes the fact that you don't have to have a lot of money to buy stocks.”’ The list of stocks most popular with the monthly investors is un- usually strong in the so-called blue chips. At the top of the list are Radio Corp., Dow Chemical, Gen- eral Motors, American Telephone, Standard Oil (New Jersey) and Genera] Electric. Keith Funston, president of the stock exchange, says he feels that the plan “has worked very well indeed."’ Lodge Calendar To all paid up members of Pon- tiac Aerie #1230 F. O.
