Rail Strike Looms Tuesday 2 Die In Car After Plunge Into Canal By RAY WIELAND (Staff Writer) A Ft. Lauderdale man and his wife are dead, apparently trapped and drowned when their car was hit by another vehicle, then plunged into 15 feet of water in a canal at 12:30 a.m. today near the State Rd. 84 Turnpike entrance. Lawmen, aided by headlights of the car still on in the murky waters, made three desperate rescue attempts.

But they were driven back each time by heavy gasoline and oil slick. Dead are John R. Gauntt, 42, of 6200 NW 14th St. and his wife, Ann Mae Gauntt, 51. The other driver, Kenneth Barnes, 23, a Miami tugboat employe, is in Broward County jail, being held for the Florida Highway Patrol on a charge of failing to have his vehicle under control.

AUTOPSIES SLATED An FHP spokesman, asked whether other charges have been lodged against Barnes, said, "No other charges--not yet. The case is under investigation." Autopsies were to be performed today to determine officially whether the deaths were caused by drowning or injuries from the accident. The Gauntts' deaths raised Broward's 1964 traffic fatalities to 59, even with this date last year. Plantation Patrolman Sam D. Huskisson, a trained scuba diver, first to reach the crash scene, jumped into the canal in a rescue attempt.

He was driven back by searing gasoline fumes which blinded him temporarily. Highway Patrol Trooper B. D. Brimacomb then arrived and the two tried to reach the car. They were driven back by the fumes.

There was no fire. Huskisson said he made one dive to the car, opened his eyes but was blinded by gasoline picked up on the surface. An unidentified motorist also made a futile rescue attempt. Officers reported the Gauntts had just entered the turnpike at State Rd. 84 and were northbound about a block from (Continued on Page 8A, Col.

2) (AP Wirephoto) PRESIDENT JOHNSON LOST BALANCE AS CAR ROUNDED CORNER YESTERDAY IN SACRAMENTO but he regained it with the help of Mrs. Edmund Brown, wife of California governor Antisatellite Arms Pass Tests In Space (Atomic Controversy -Page WASHINGTON. (AP) Sec- retary of Defense Robert S. McNamara said today that two U.S. antisatellite systems have scored several successful intercepts of U.S.

satellites up to "hundreds of miles" above earth. McNamara gave a news conference additional details on the antisatellite systems which President Johnson announced in a speech yesterday at Sacramento, Calif. The President did not say so, but it seemed evident that his revelations were a blunt response to Sen. Barry Goldwater's claim that the Democratic administration has failed to come up with any new strategic weapons. HE'S RESTRICTED The defense secretary said "I'm under serious restriction" as to what details he could give out either about the two satellite-killer systems or about a new over-the-horizon radar which Mr.

Johnson also announced. Both, he said, are "very highly classified." He did disclose that the antisatellite weapons employ the Air Force Thor missile and the Army Nike-Zeus antimissile device. McNamara said the Army successfully intercepted its first satellite on Aug. 1, 1963, and the Air Force on May 29, 1964 in each case, a year after they were ordered to start work on the antisatellites. 'TESTED EFFECTIVELY' "The two systems have been effectively tested and have intercepted satellites in space, their missiles passing so close as to be within destruction radius of the warheads," said.

The secretary said he doesn't believe the Russians have advanced as far as the United States in either the anti satellite or the radar developmnt. But judging by history, he said the United States must expect the Russians to do SO in the next five to seven years. He declined to discuss whether the warheads are nuclear or conventional, but indicated there was no actual physical intercept that the satellitekilling warhead was as coming within lethal range of the satellite target. He refused also to say any(Continued on Page 8A, Col. 1 Campaign '64 Charges 'Plots' Barry Calls LB.J Spender' (Sen.

Bank Statement I Error 'Gives' Him Millions By GENE JANAS (Staff Writer) Being a millionaire is exciting but being a millionaire 10 times over sends you into a fairyland where you have everything you ever wanted or dreamed about. But this dream was shattered into reality as quickly as it came for James D. Morrison, a 40-year-old bachelor, living at Green Star Trailer Park, 615 Sunrise Blvd. Several days ago Morrison picked up the mail in his usual unconcerned manner but his mood changed when he opened a letter from Frankford Trust Co. of Philadelphia.

He had withdrawn most of his money when he moved to Ft. Lauderdale and it appeared to him like the usual statement showing a balance. Auto Pact Okayed News Wire Services Leaders of six rail unions threatened today to strike virtually all of the nation's major railroads at 6 a.m. Tuesday in a dispute over job rights. The unions set the strike deadline after negotiations deadlocked despite efforts of federal mediators to help produce an agreement.

In Detroit, Ford Motor Co. and the United Auto Workers union agreed today on a new contract similar to that at Chrysler Corp. except for the addition of a Christmas bonus which UAW President Walter P. Reuther called "frosting on the cake." The agreement came less than an hour before a 10 a.m. strike deadline.

BOARD ADVISED The National Mediation Board was advised of the railroad strike call by heads of the six shop craft unions involved in the dispute. They represent about 150,000 railroad maintenance and repair workers. A walkout by the six unions almost certainly would result in a national rail tie-up because members of other unions who run the trains probably would not cross picket lines. The government has exhaust! ed its available procedures to delay a strike. STOPPED BEFORE a (Staff photo by Donn Gould) ATTEMPT MADE TO OPEN DOOR OF CAR IN WHICH TWO DIED FHP Sgt.

On April 8, the unions struck the Illinois Central line and threatened a nationwide walkout. Two hours before the strike deadline, President Johnson succeeded in winning a delay and on April 22 both sides announced they had agreed on the major issues. A presidential emergency board recommended Aug. 7 that the railroads provide some form of compensation for shop workers laid off because of technological changes. The board also recommended some limitations on subcontracting of work that has been done in the past by members of the six shop craft unions.

The major issues are whether the railroads should be allowed (Continued on Page 8A, Col. 1) in debt by billions," the Republican presidential nominee declared in a speech prepared for delivery in this east Texas town.

THURMOND THERE Beside before cheering Southern crowds, stood South Carolina Sen. Strom Thurmond, newly enlisted in the Republican cause.

Thurmond joined forces with Goldwater in Greenville, S.C., yesterday, and warmup shots at the Democrats before crowds in Shreveport, and New Orleans. Slapping Mr. Johnson in his home territory, Goldwater accused the President of "campaigning for the presidency on the basis of two absolutely false claims." He said the President claims his administration is cutting federal spending and holding down the government payroll. DECEIT CHARGED "Nothing could be further from the Goldwater said. "This administration is trying to deceive the American people." Under Mr.

Johnson, he said, spending is going up and the federal payroll has mounted by 18,339 people. "So far this year he has spent $10 million a day more spent by President Goldwater "While we talk, every four minutes, Lyndon put another person on the federal payroll," he added. Goldwater said many people gave Mr. Johnson "their support because of his supposed frugality, his supposed concern for the public payroll. "The claim was false," he said.

The plan, included in a legislative program adopted by the board yesterday, is estimated to cost $11 million in the 1965-67 biennium.

The cheering crowds, their massed voices often drowned out by cannons firing salutes, saw the handsome king, 24, and his 18-year-old bride only as they rode to and from the cathedral in an open, horse-drawn carriage. Temperatures were in the 90s and many persons fainted in the heat and crush of the crowd. 'PICTURE' COUPLE Constantine and Anne-Marie the world's youngest monarchs made a picture cou- ple.

patients getting treatment and 1,000 applications pending. The applicant now must prove he is medically indigent and has total resources of less than $1,200. The state pays all of his hospital cost--or none. RAISED TO $2,500 Under the board proposal, maximum resources permitted would be raised to $2,500 and partial costs could be paid for those with modest incomes. It proposes those with less than $150 a month income have all of their hospital costs paid; those with $150 to $175 a month could have 90 per cent of their hospital costs paid, and so on.

Another new proposal which the board included in its legislative program would take advantage of the federal war on poverty program. It would permit aid for dependent children of unemployed parents, eliminating the restriction the father must have deserted. NEW FIELD The estimated cost is $18.3 million in the 1965-67 biennium. The federal government would pay about $13.6 million and the state $4.7 million. By a vote of 5-3, the board moved into another new field.

It approved in principle a plan for offering birth control contraceptives on a voluntary basis to women on relief rolls. The Florida Board of Health would administer the program along with the welfare board. J. Hal Stallings of Tampa, welfare board chairman, said it should not cost the state a great deal since 82 per cent of the money would come from the federal government. Fur and garment vault storage.
