De Gasperi's forces already had won a much-reduced, seven-seat majority in the Senate 125 of the 243 places.

All signs still pointed to a ceasefire within the week, but these developments clouded the picture: 1. Switzerland announced it would not serve on the five-nation prisoner repatriation commission unless South Korea approves the truce. 2. South Korean leaders reiterated bitter opposition and anti-armistice demonstrations raged in Seoul for the second straight day.

3. A spokesman for Syngmati Rhee dashed reports that the South Korean President will ny to Wash ington to make a personal appeal against the truce."

Driver Makes Wrong Turn, Derails Train WAVERLY. O. -An automobile driver took the wrong turn into a railroad track early today and the ensuing smash between his car and a Norfolk and Western freight train dprailed 16 to 20 freight cars and injured at least two persons. The driver of the car.

Russell Wright, 30, of 30 S. Walnut Chillicothe, told the state highway patrol foggy conditions on Ohio 23 south of Piketon blurred his vision and caused him make the wrong turn. Wright and two passengers hurled themselves out of the car as they saw the northbound freight train approaching. One of the passengers, Dorsey W. Sheets.

40, of 2417 llth St Portsmouth, dislocated his shoulder, the state patrol said. The train's fireman, Albert Kingery, of 742 Mohawk Co-lumbuff, hurt his right shoulder, but the injury was not considered serious. The derailment broke open an ammonia tank car and spread the gas through the area. State Patrolmen had to don gas masks. No estimate of damage to the cars and cargo was available.

Wright and the other passenger, Bruce Ie Lewis, 30. of 169 W. 4th Chillicothe. were taken to Pike County jail pending investigation. No charges have been filed.
