Staten Island Ferry Rams Freighter; Neither Sinks Howard 'Pyle refused again today to release for publication a report made on the state land department for former Gov. Dan E. Garvey.

Pyle said he feels that under a recent supreme court ruling it will be necessary for the Maricopa county Su perior court to decide whether publication of the report would be in the public interest, or whether this interest better would be served by keeping it confidential. Yesterday was the final day on which a motion for re-hearing of the case could be filed in the supreme court. None having been filed, the court issued its mandate today. The original action was filed by William R. Mathews, editor and publisher of the Arizona Daily Star, Tucson, in an effort to force the governor to make the report public.

Previous Court Rulings Garvey was upheld in a superior court decision of July 5, 1951. The supreme court reversed the superior court last Dec. 29, but at the same time held that the courts and not the governor are the final judges of what constitutes a public document and whether its publication would be in the best interests of the public. The high court instructed the superior court to reinstate" the petition for mandamus, "and for further proceedings under the opinion." Pyle, whose name officially has been substituted. for Garvey in the action, when asked for the file on the case, said: Still Undecided "As far as I am able to ascertain, it still is the responsibility of the (superior) court, under this judgment, to call for the papers.

The matter still is in controversy. "The supreme court now has given the superior court a formula to operate on. Until the superior court asks for the report I feel it has been secured by the supreme court decision. Attorney-Gen. Ross F.

Jones said the governor was acting on his advice in refusing to release the report. "The governor is under a mandate to produce the record to the court and the trial judge when the judge requests it. Any other release be in violation of the court's mandate," he said. The report and accompanying exhibits were prepared by the at torney general's office on instruc tions from Garvey after O. C.

Williams, who then was state land commissioner, asked that an Investigation of his department be made. Choice Made Following its receipt, Garvey gave Williams the choice of re signing or having the report made public. The commissioner subsequently resigned, so the report was locked up in the governor's office, where it has remained ever since. Mathews contended that the re port was a public document and could not be withheld by the governor. Stone Ave.

Parking Between Broadway, Pennington Banned Parking will banned on Stone avenue between Pennington street and Broadway from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow. John F. Caarls, traffic engineer, said the experiment announced last week is to go ahead.

The parking ban is being tried to see if it is justified by the advantages to be gained from better traffic flow. Caarls has pointed out that traffic movement is impeded and often halted by cars being parked on Stone avenue. The trial was to be made last week but was delayed at the request of merchants. 7 EX-NAZIS ARE JAILED BY BRITONS Arrests Carried Out in W. Germany; Plot to Seize Power Feared BONN, Germany, Jan.

15. ff) British authorities to day clapped into jail seven former Nazis suspected of a "potentially very dangerous" Nazi-Communist plot to seize power in West Germany. The accused men, including two named to high office in Hitler's will, were seized in raids by British police.

Squads of investigators went to work tracing the ramifications of the movement.

Security Threat The British high commissioner, Sir Ivone Kirkpatrick, who ordered the arrests under his occupation powers, said the plotters represented a threat to the security of the 400,000 Allied troops in West Ger many. "These leading Nazis were plot ting to regain -power," he said net tney were potentially very dangerous. He told reporters that the inci dent should not be exaggerated and said it should have no effect whatever on Allied plans to make West Germany an independent and armed ally in a six-nation Eu ropean army.

Dr. Gustav Scheel, a 45-year-old Bavarian and medical doctor who joined the Nazis in 1930, and was an assistant a Hamburg hospital. In 19.41 Scheel was gauleiter for Salzburg.

Karl Kaufman, 52, a former gauleiter of Hamburg who joined the Nazi party in 1921. He was interned from 1945 to 1948. Sir Ivone said British agents had watched the suspects for weeks and uncovered evidence that they: 1. Were plotting to seize power. 2.

Were trying to infiltrate established political parties In order to grab their leadership. 3. Were in touch with ex-Nazis and possibly Communists in other countries in both east and west. enna said a substantial number of other Americans have been arrested for questioning and pre dicted that still others will be picked up during the next few-weeks.

Jan. 15 4n The army issued an order today which will send most soldiers convicted of being absent without leave to the Korean war zone "by the first available surface transportation." The army said the order is a move to crack down on men deliberately going AWOL to escape overseas shipment.

Until now, a conviction for being AWOL stopped or delayed their going overseas. Under the new order, the only convicted AWOL's who won't be shipped overseas will be men who have not completed their basic training or otherwise are unquali fied for overseas duty.

Farewell Address Made From Tiite House to American People WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.

(JP) President Truman told the American people tonight they are on the way to victory in the cold war with Soviet Russia without an atomic conflict that might "dig the grave of the free world an Communism alike." "We have set the course that can win," he said. In an emotional farewell address, broadcast from the White House by coast-to-coast radio and TV networks, the President declared his belief that American intervention in Korea has dashed Russia's hope of easy conquest and may have averted a third world war "as far ahead as man can see. And to those impatient with the world-wide struggle against Communism to those who ask "why don't we get it over with? Why don't we issue an ultimatum, make an all-out war, drop the atomic bomb?" Truman declared: "For most Americans, the answer is quite simple: we are not made that way. We are a moral people. Peace is our goal.

and justice and freedom, we cannot, of our own free will, violate the very principles that we are striving to defend. "The whole purpose of what we are doing is to prevent the World War III. Starting a war is no way to make peace. "But if anyone still thinks that just this once, bad means can bring good ends, then let me remind you of this: We are Jiving in the eighth year of the atomic We are not the only nation that is learning to unleash the power of the atom. A third world war might dig the grave not only of our Communist opponents but also of our own society, our world as well as theirs." Sees Victory of Free As in his "State of the Union message, Truman forecast that the Soviet system will ultimately crack up or its leaders will change their policies.

He said that in the long run free society will prevail over a system that has respect for neither God nor man." The President, speaking in the homey, mid-west accent that has become familiar to millions of listeners during the last eight years, delivered his final "fireside chat" at his desk in the oval room at the White House. As I empty the drawers of this desk, and as Mrs. Truman and I leave the White House, we have no regret," he 6aid. "We feel we have done our best I hope and believe we have contributed to the welfare of this nation and to the peace of the world." Leaves Tuesday Truman will leave the White House for the last time as Presi-1 dent shortly before noon next Tuesday to ride with Presidentelect Dwlght D. Eisenhower to the oath-taking ceremonies on Capitol Hjll.

Then he will depart by train to return to his home in Missouri. In his prepared speech, Truman once egain pledged his support to Eisenhower and strongly urged the support of all other Americans. "There Is no Job like it on the face of the earth in the power which is concentrated here at this desk and in the responsibility fend difficulty of the decisions," he said. "I want all of you to realize how big a Job, how hard a job it Is not for my sake, because I am, stepping out of it but for the sake of my successor. He needs the understanding and the help of every citizen." Truman himself wrote most of the 15-page speech, by hand, start ing as he sat alone In his study last Sundav.

Korea Decision Noting that the war In Korea has dragged on since mid-1950. Truman told his audience that if he had not sent American troops into the struggle, there might have been a recurrence of the tragic events in Manchuria, in Ethiopia, the Rhineland, in Austria and at Munich.

Increased Benefits Providing a plan whereby the state would supplement the fed eral old age retirement plan Revamping the state income tax laws. Details of most of these bills, all to be officially introduced in the next few days, have been pub lished ana discussed. The pension law, however, Is a complicated document involving many factors and formulas that probably will be difficult to explain to the general membership when it reaches the floor for debate. Of necessity, it was worked out by experts in the field, one of these being Rep. R.

H. Wallace, Maricopa, who untilyesterday was a member of the interim committee. Appropriation Sought Of immediate interest to the tax payers is the fact that it calls for an Initial appropriation of covering prior service credits, plus $50,000 to care for benefits accruing to persons who reached retirement age under the old retirement act, recently repealed by the voters, and to survivors of employes who died during the time it was in effect. The state employes who would be brought under the act would be called upon to con tribute 31 per cent of their pay. This would be matched by an equal amount In state funds.

This would 'bring the total pay deductions to five per cent, since they now are contributing 1 per cent of their pay to the federal plan. Conld Give More In case an employe wanted greater benefits upon retirement, he could contribute more than the required 3 per cent, but this would not be matched by the state. Voluntary retirement age with fuu benefits would be 65, but an employe would be permitted to work until the age of 70. A worker with 10 years of service could retire at 60, but his benefits would be proportionately less than at 65. Several examples were prepared by the drafters of the bill.

One follows: An employe, 40 j-ears old and making $250 a month, comes under the act. At the age of 65 he would get $26 a month from his contribution to the fund, $35 from the state's contribution, $6.25 a month for prior service, providing he had worked for 30 years at the age of 65, and $78 minimum from the (Continued on Page 12-A, Col. 2) College Students Who Touched Off Dynamite At Flagstaff Punished FLAGSTAFF, Jan. 15 OP) A prank' campus dynamiting brought retaliation today to two Arizona State College students who along with a third, admitted they set off the blasts Sunday to "stir up some excitement." Tom Guthrie, 20, Phoenix, and Robert B. Amman, 22, Libertyville, I1L, were fined $50 each and given 30-day suspended sentences by Justice of the Peace Shelby McCauley.

Their companion, William Doyle Winthrop. 22, Hannibal, was free on $200 bond. His hearing was set for Jan. 26. One hundred windows in college buildings were blown out by the explosion.

College authorities esti mated tne damage as high as $1,500. Justice McCauley told Guthrie and Amman their sentences would be suspended as long as they make restitution to the college. The job of finding dynamite and percussion caps was nearly completed today when sheriff's depu ties were led to 30 sticks of dyna mite, a caps and a piece of fuse in the students campus quarters. Sheriff J. Peery Francis said Winthrop, a member of last fall's football squad, brought the explosives to Flagstaff after obtaining them from a Missouri pipeline Fred Wilson Shifted to Yuma Fred O.

Wilson, former Arizona attorney general charged with the twin felony counts of bribery and conspiracy, will be tried in Yuma in March or April by a prosecution team consisting of Attorney General Ross Jones, County Attorney Morris K. Udall, and Special Prosecutor Norman Herring. In Shadow WASHINGTON, Jan. 15. (JP) A crack express train, out of control and with its horn blasting an ominous warning, today crashed into Union Station and partially wrecked the huge building in the shadow of the U.

S. Capitol. No one was killed, but at least 51 persons were hurt, seven of them seriously. In its wild flight the engine mowed down the station master's office, swept away a steel fence that keeps visitors from going out to the trains, demolished a giant new stand ana men crasnep through the floor of the concourse to the basement. 50 MPH Cracknp The train was the Pennsylvania railroad's Federal Express from Boston due here at around 8:30 a.m.

(EST). Some spectators said it must have been going 50 miles an hour when it plunged off the end of the rails. Railroad officials said only quick action by the engineer, Henry W. Brower, 66, and the crew saved the wreck from turning into a major catastrophe. The railroad, in a statement Issued in New York, said it could not explain why the air brakes on the 150-ton electric locomotive failed.

But it said that Brower, warning with his horn that his brakes would not hold and his train was out of control, enabled station officials to clear the concourse of persons who otherwise would be directly in fuont of the locomotive. Warnings in Time The railroad said injuries among the estimated 400 passengers on the train were lessened by warnings from crew men that they should clear the aisles and should keep seated. The time, too, kept down the injuries. Often during the day the concourse, a block-long roofed room that adjoins the waiting room is jammed with friends and relatives waiting for, or seeing off, passengers. This morning only a few were in the concourse.

Furthermore, the crowds who will be here for the inauguration are just beginning to descend on Washington. Next Monday or Tuesday, the crowd will be so great not even a warning could clear the concourse. Spectator Reaction Some of the reactions show how hard the train hit. J. A.

Stenhouse, 41, cnarioue, N. architect, was waning on the concourse. "There was a tremendous roar, Stenhouse recalled. "For a second I thought maybe this was an atomic bomb." Senator Welker (R-Idaho) was at the station to meet ooi- tolfsen, former Idaho governor who recently was appointed deputy sergeant at arms of the sen ate. He was arriving on anomer train.

"I thought somebody had tossed a Domu at one vi tue uaina, Welker said. Other senators were on the scene soon after. Solons on Hand Chairman Tobey (R-NH) of the senate interstate commerce committee and two committee members. Senators Capehart (R-Ind) and Schoeppel (R-Kan). looked over the wTeck.

MEXICO TROUBLED BY LOCUST SWARM MEXICO CITY, Jan. 15 (ff) A swarm of locusts is menacing crops in the vicinity of El 250 miles south of he Texas bor-l der, the agriculture ministry said today. Two tons of insecticide were sent to fight the insects. Mexico has frequent locust plagues along he; southern frontier, but this is the first time in years they have been a problem so far nortb. from the Capitol.

The tracks are on the ground floor, and come to a dead end outside the concourse. Some trains back in. The Fed eral Express came in head first. American veteran of the United States lines. Radar devices failed to prevent the crash.

The collision was one of two that occurred in the worst harbor fog in years. Both involved a United States lines vessel. In the lower bay, the United States line freighter American Leader collided with the Waterman steamship lines freighter Chicksaw. Crews 'of about 50 men each on the freighters escaped injury and both vessels a ined afloat. The American Leader was badly damaged and the Chicksaw had a gaping hole in her bow above the waterline.

Atty-General Judge Kelly had indicated that a trial date could be arranged in March or early April. Udall said he would confer with Wilson's attorneys, Thomas Chandler and Charles McCarty, before requesting a definite date of Judge Kelly. Udall said he and the two de fense attorneys had agreed to the change of venue in order to be sure that Wilson receives a fair trial. Ordinarily, i is the practice for the state to object to defense motions for a change of venue. Fairness Seen Attorney General Jones, at a conference with Udall earlier this week, also expressed the opinion that removing the case from Pima county would be the fair thing to do.

Wilson is charged with offering a bribe to Maurice T. Guiney, former, Pima county undersheriff, in connection with contemplated gambling activities in the county. He is charged with conspiring with several persons to violate the state's gambling laws in Pima county. Wilson was charged with the two crimes in an information filed here by Herring, who had been appointed to handle the case by the then Pima county attorney, Robert Morrison. To date, Herring has handled all of the, prosecution.

The charges were brought at a time when Morrison and Wilson were engaged in a heated race for the Democratic nomination for attorney general. Wilson filed 'both criminal and civil libel charges against Morrison and the Arizona Daily Star during the campaign, which ended in victory for Wilson. Election Results In the general election, however, Jones defeated Wilson decisively and took over the job as chief law enforcement officer in Arizona. The new lineup, then, consists of Udall, whose duty it is to direct the prosecution: Herring, who was the original prosecutor; and Jones, the man who replaced Wil- ion, The rapid shift in time, place and cast was disclosed yesterday, Until yesterday morning Wil son had been scheduled to go on trial in Tucson on Jan. 27 before Judge R.

Porter Murry of Clifton. Judge Murry signed an order granting a change of venue from Pima county to Yuma county, which automatically vacated the trial date here and assigned the case to Judge Henry C. Kelly, pre siding judge of the court in the western county. Participation Confirmed Udall returned late yesterday afternoon from a statewide county attornevs meeting in Yuma and confirmed the fact that Ross Jones, newly-installed attorney general, or a member of his staff will participate in the prosecution of Wilson. The Pima county attorney said Maestro Iinge Makes Amazing Recovery in Embarrassing Scene SANTA MONICA, Jan.

15 (JP) The conductor of Santa Monica's symphony Arthur Lange, had just reached a crescendo in the Romeo and Juliet overture when it happened. The maestro, who has been diet ing lately, pointed his baton at the brass section, stood on his toes, whirled the baton upward. outward, then down, and as the sounds of cymbals, horns and drums rent the air, Lange's trousers fell to the floor. To Lange's everlasting credit. it may be said that he missed only about two beats.

He stooped, pulled his trousers back up over his royal blue snorts, ana went on with the overture. But the many women in the violin section noted that the con ductor's knees were somewhat knobby. The brief Interlude came at a rehearsal last ijight. Lange is going to forsake the diet and take another notch in his belt for ex tra insurance. U.
