m. Thermograph Readings Ending Crossing Crash Kills 25 Passenger Plows Into Truck Filled With Workers Near McAllen, Tex. McAllen, March 14. (AP) Twenty-five fruit pickers, mostly of Mexican extraction, were killed today in their orchard-bound truck which was struck squarely in the center at a grade crossing by a Missouri-Pacific passenger train.

Most Were Laborers Identification of the victims, all passengers in the truck, was slow. Most of them were laborers living in the farm area around Alamo, Tex. The truck burst into flames under the impact of the crash. One victim was found charred when the train was stopped. Homer Garrison, state police director, said the McAllen crossing wreck apparently is the worst of Its kind in Texas history.

Parris, commander of the guard company, arrived at the site of the $20,000,000 power and flood control project last night. He ordered Towne to stop all construction which would cause water of the river to back up in the reservoir.

PWA Must Pay Off Phillips declared martial law to orevent completion of the dam before the Public Works Administration pays the states $850,000 claim for damages to bridges and roads.

Todays Register tells the story of the 1940 spring offerings of merchandise on the part of lola merchants. Easter is the keynote, and the needs of farmers, not only in spring toggery but in farming supplies and needs as well, are being given special attention. Money saving bargains for farmers are contained in advertisements throughout the paper. Climax of the two trade days will be the Gift day drawing at the North center of the public square at 2 p.

Scooped Off the News Room Floor Old cable, that haa been failing in many places around the square since the winter freeze and subsequent thaw underground, has kept city workmen on the jump recently in the effort to keep the white way lights around the square burning. A break on the north side of the square last night put the lights out and called the electricians out.

Repairs were completed about 10 p. m. Tuesday night there were several breaks that caused trouble. About two years ago a program of gradual replacement of the old lines with new was begun. Nearly all the line around the square has been replaced now with the exception of the cable crossing the streets.

It is not in conduits and when it is replaced the pavement will have to be tom up, a procedure city officials Aegret having to follow. When the old is replaced, the new will be run through conduits so that the pavement will not have to be removed in the future. A better wire with extra heavy insulation also is being used now. Garden makers of the county might be able to make good use of some information available at the Farm Bureau office when they start out with spade, hoe, and rake, ready to do their planting. The data is in the form of a bulletin on vegetable varieties for Kansas that the state college extension service puts out each year.

Elizabeth Roniger, home demonstration agent, is using the material in Farm Bureau unit meetings. She says town gardeners are welcome to it, too. If you are a seasoned vegetable grower, it might be interesting to see if you agree with some of these recommended varieties: snap beans, Stringless Green Pod; cabbage. Golden Acre; sweet com, Whipples; lettuce. Grand Rapids; peas.

Little Marvel: potatoes. Cobbler or Warba; tomatoes, Rutgers.

They are for south bound traffic Washington and east-bound vehicles on Lincoln the two directions leading into Highway 169. Cars following the highway directly are not affected by the signs.

A. Fleming review highlights of the national meeting of school superintendents which he attended in St. Louis two weeks ago. Farmers are chafing at the bit these days. Oats sowing is way behind schedule and there is little indication that conditions will be favorable very soon for that annual farm procedure.

There were one or two days last week in which some ground worked Ideally for sowing and a few cot a crop in. but the great majority didn't. Recent rains, although not soaking the sub-soil to the extent needed. have filled nearly all ponds and streams and the agriculturalists would gladly forego the sub-soil moisture right now in order to get In some good hard licks on spring planting. Most will admit, however, that it could be worse that no moisture could have been the weather fare.

Norway, Sweden and Finland Talk Alliance To Halt the Russian Encroachment in North (By th Anociitfil PimI Finland, Sweden and Norway, mindful of the price the Finns paid for peace with Russia, today considered a northern defense alliance to ward off any further encroachments on their soil. T7ie need for such an alliance was voiced by the President of Finland, Kyosti Kallio, In a radio speech to his people explaining Russias peace terms which ended the 105-day war yesterday. The foreign ministers of Norway and Sweden, uneasy over Finnish concessions which give Russia rail and plane access to the Swedish and Norwegian frontiers, acknowledged they were considering formation of a defensive bloc.

Remember the Czechs Though relieved that peace had been reestablished, Scandinavia was uneasy lest Finland suffer the fate of Czecho-Slovakia, whose initial territorial concessions to Germany were followed a few months later by complete surrender. The Finns were hopeful that an alliance plus new fortifications, to supplant those lost in ceding the Karelian Isthmus and territory north of Labe Ladoga, would prevent repetition of Prague's story. As a last gesture of triumph, Russia announced that Viipuri had been occupied only five hours before fighting was halted by the peace treaty which gave Russia the shell-shattered city anyway. What Next? Though European capitals still were holding post mortems over the Finnish -Russian war, their attention shifted toward southeast Europe In the perpetual wonder of what next?
