GREYHOUND OVTRVTSS CRISIS Kindly Folks Erase Memory of Bad Hour By ANNA CATHERINE DAY Staff Writer "Hold on lady. It's just 85 more miles to Aniarlllo." These were the last words Sheila Phillips of Birmingham, England, remembered until she reached the High Plains Baptist Hospital more than an hour later. She had become ill Thursday after boarding a Greyhound Bus in Albuquerque en route to New York. Miss Phillips, a student at Bordesley College in Birmingham, said the bus was about halfway Amarillo and Albuquerque when the pain became acute. The bus filled to capacity, she said, but passengers made room for her to lie down in the back.

The driver, Harold Huguley of 704 Fairlane, remembered that the High Plains Baptist Hospital in Amarillo was near the highway, "and he stepped on the gas," said Miss Phillips. Huguley had first inquired if there were any doctors or nurses on the bus. He then told his passenger that the nearest hospital would be Amarillo. Miss Phillips said her pains became more severe as the bus rolled on. "And when he said there were 85 more miles, I lay back and let the pain take over." Huguley drove the bus up to the emergency walked to the back and carried Miss Phillips into the hospital.

Within an hour she was in surgery for an appendectomy. Miss Phillips told the story Tuesday from her bedside. As her pains increased, she said that passengers became tense with concern. Two college students from England, Susan Sharp and Richard Lcarey, had also boarded the bus in Albuquerque. They had never met Miss Phillips, but they were sitting in the scat hi front of her.

It was they who informed Huguley of the illness and remained at Sheila's side.

Austin, who is black, and Roman S. Gribbs, the white Wayne County sheriff, were the easy winners Tuesday In a nonpartisan primary election that irew the heaviest voter turnout hi 32 years. The unofficial final results released by the Detroit Election Commission showed today that Austin pulled In 124,941 votes, while Gribbs had 105,640. But Gribbs' total, combined with the 71,065 votes won by a woman law-and-order candidate, made it clear that Austin, the first Negro to get through a primary election for mayor in Detroit, faces a hard fight in the November general election. Mayor Jerome P.

Cavanagh announced he would not seek a third four-year term, saying he wanted to devote more time to lis children. Walter Shamic, he businessman Cavanagii trounced four years ago, ran a distant fourth Tuesday with! 9,848 votes. Both men immediately promised a campaign free of racial bitterness--difficult in a city still physically and emotionally scarred by the 1967 holocaust. "I can assure you that we won't have a racist Austin, 56, promised his cheering supporters at a victory party in a downtown hotel. "We will be mayor of all the i people, not just some of the people.

We will show the people of Detroit what democracy is really like." At another hotel just a few blocks away, Gribbs, 43, made a similar pledge, though it was tinted with a law-and-order hue. "We want to work for more unity, not polarization," Gribbs said. "We want both blacks ind whites to be the beneficiaries--: not the victims--of police action. We want more police on the street."
