The 48-year-old car looked none the worst for having been walled up for three decades, in a fairy-tale castle near here. Today the fantastic story came out of how the car got "lost." Baron Raben-Levetzau bought the car in 1911. The chassis alone cost him $5000 In 1930 he decided to sell It, but found he couldn't get the price he wanted. In a fit of pique, he ordered the car walled up in the castle. And there it "slept" for 30 years until someone recently told the baron's son he had a Rolls-Royce somewhere in his home.

A search was instituted. Searchers finally knocked a hole through an extra-thick brick wall in one of the castle's outbuildings and there she wasa bit dusty, but intact.

About 71,000,000 vehicles were on the highways sometime between 6 p.

m. Friday and midnight Monday, the council estimated. The council predicted 450 traffic deaths during the period. The record Labor day count was in 1951, when 461 died in highway crashes and 658 were killed from accidents of all causes. During the Fourth of July holiday earlier in the year.

the nation counted 276 dead in traffic, 60 in boating accidents, 119 in drownings, and another 65 from miscellaneous causes.

Sept. 7. (AP)The United States urged the United Nations security council today to act swiftly in order to put out the flames of conflict it said are menacing Laos. United States Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge told an emergency meeting of the 11-nation council that appointment of a four-nation inquiry committee would be the most constructive way of dampening down fires "which are springing up menacingly" in that troubled southeast Asian kingdom. He warned that if the council emergency forces be sent to repel President Ends Long Journey failed to take such a modest step now "the alternative courses of action may be much more far-reaching, much harder to control, and much more an invasion in the north that Laos claims is supported by the communist government of North Viet Nam aided by communist China.

No representative of Laos was at the council table. There was no request from that country to be heard by the council.

This is much the way it was done in the depression.

The senate version would order Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson to launch the 000,000 food stamp program experimentally in not fewer than three nor more than six communities. The house voted to authorize the secretary to experiment with such a plan, stopping short of a direct order. Last Friday, the senate rejected a much similar program by a 46-to-41 roll call vote. The senate today switched position and accepted a revised plan by a 44-to-38 vote. Big Program The bill as passed by the senate calls for a three-year, 000,000 program for the sale of surplus farm commodities overseas for payment in foreign currencies.

The administration had asked for a one-year extension and a $1,500,000,000 limit on the foreign currency aalesthe same figures carried in the house Senator Prescott Bush (Ft-Conn.) protested the senate's action, asserting that sales of surplus commodities have created "a situation that is intolerable." The foreign currency sales, au-, thorized by public law 480, have resulted in accumulation of large sums of foreign currency for which the United States government has only limited use. 1 New Use Eyed Backers of the broad program carried in this bill contend the money should be put to humanitarian use. The senate version also contains authorization for use of up to $900,000,000 worth of surplus foods for aid to nations struck by famine or other disaster. Congress met today for the first time on Labor day since 1942, as part of the leaders' effort to adjourn by Saturd3y. The house worked on some of the noncontroversal bills on its calendar, waiting for senate action on major bills.

Senator Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) again waged parliamentary war against what he calls Senate Leader Lyndon Johnson's dictatorial leadership. He said further that congress ought to work on various bills, not to rush out of town to avoid being here when Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev arrives September 15. However, Morse did not stand in the way of the surplus disposal bill, and this was taken as a sign he was relenting.

berg air force base, informed sources reported today. If the launching is successful, the United States will have its first operational ballistics missile capable of delivering nuclear destruction at ocean-spanning distance. The Atlas has a range of 6300 miles. Squadron Trained LONDON, Sept. 7.

(AP)Dr. Wernher von Braun, head of the United States army's missile program, said tonight it would not surprise him if the Russians try to launch a man into space during Premier Khrushchev's United States visit. The Russian leader will arrive in the United States September 15. "The Russians have a great sense for drama," said the German-born scientist. Von Braun said the United States has its own definite schedule for putting a man into space "but it would not be right for me to divulge at what date that will be.

These things in America are subject to amendment. Lodge spoke shortly after the council overrode Soviet objections against considering the situation in Laos. Visit Cited Soviet delegate Arkady A. Soholev told the council no action was necessary in Laos. He suggested that to take up the question at this time would heighten international tensions just before the exchange of visits between President Eisenhower and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev.

But the council voted 10 to I to put Laos on its agenda and went ahead with consideration of a resolution sponsored by the United States, Britain and France calling for creation of a four-nation inquiry subcommittee. Its members would be Argentina, Italy, Japan and Tunisia. Lodge asserted the council could not ignore an appeal from Laos telling of "threats to its integrity and independence by forces from outside its own borders." He added: "The United States believes that there is no doubt at all that aggression is being committed. "We realize, of course, that there may be those around this table who do not agree." The resolution was worded as mildly as possible in the hope of avoiding a Soviet veto. It instructs the four-nation inquiry committee to examine statements made before the council concerning Laos, and to con-I duct "such inquiries as it may determine necessary and to re-I port to the security council as soon as possible." The resolution made no mention of Laos' request that UN ANCONA, Italy, Sept.

7. (Iteu-1 workers wadectl knee-deep through the railroad station here today searching for the bodies of 11 persons missing after one of the worst summer storms in the towa's history yesterday. Three persons were killed and 50 injured as high winds howled across the town and a cloudburst over flooded rivers and streams. Damage Heavy Local people and tourists ran for shelter and watched horrified as a torrent of mud and water swept through the main streets, carrying off stragglers. Damage was estimated in the millions.

At near-by Macerata three more persons were reported dead and in other parts of Italy police and firemen worked through the night to rescue stranded travelers and pump out flooded houses. Russia Not Mentioned 12 In his informal remarks to the crowd of about 1000 high officials 1 and curious citizens at the air- 1 port. Eisenhower never men- 1 tioned Russia or Khrushchev, who is due here September 15. Instead, the President emphasized the unity and strength of the western alliance. Eisenhower said that while the west is "united in basic principle and purpose and in our pursuit of peace," geographic distance leads to small details of procedure, methods and tactics which need ironing out.

Eisenhower looked ruddy and vigorous as he stepped down the ramp from his Boeing 707 jet to the martial strains of "Hail to the Chief." At the foot of the ramp, Mrs. Eisenhower hurried forward to embrace him. "Welcome back," she said after kissing him warmly. The vice president and Mrs. Nixon then shook his hand, with the vice president telling Eisen- hower he had done "a splendid job." Stop Canceled Lt.

John Buckley of the Chi- cago homicide bureau said Dun- can apparently committed sui- i cide. William J. Bauer, Du Page county state's attorney, said he was proceeding on the possibility of murder. "Certainly, he didn't rip his own pockets," Bauer said. Some police theorized that Ronaldo struggled with an armed holdup when the gun fired.

This would account for the powder burns, they said. The body was found lying face up on a lawn near Geiger hall on the campus of North Central college where the team lodged during the games. No one in the building heard a shot. Gun Near Body Duncan died of a bullet wound, the same size gun he had purchased at a sporting goods store in near-by Aurora. A gun, from which one bullet had been fired, was found near the body.

Duncan's brother, who is coach of the rowing team, said the oarsman was right-handed and insisted he would not have fired a gun with his left hand. 1. The Russians claim they already have intercontinental range missiles in the hands of troops. But Defense Secretary Neil McElroy recently said he does not believe they have 10 missiles which can hit this country. It was learned here that missile soldiers of the strategic air command have been training for some time at Vandenberg for the first operational firing of the Atlas.

The first Atlas squadron was officially turned over to SAC on August 31. The unit reportedly has five missiles, three mounted on launching pads at all times and two spares. Later squadrons will have 10 missiles. NEW YORK, Sept. 7.

(AP)-. Despite the holiday, police con tinued their intensified drive to. day against juvenile delinquency and youth violence, netting a total of 208 arrests throughout the city since Friday. A full staff of officers and men was assigned to all headquarters offices. Police Commissioner Stephen P.

Kennedy and his top aides were at their desk all day. The week end juvenile arrests were made mostly during the early morning hours. Most of those arrested were charged with disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace. Prowl Cars Out A full complement of foot pa. trolmen and prowl cars toured the known trouble spots in the drive sparked by four youth gang-slayings in the last two weeks.

In felony court one youth, 17. year-old Michael Curry, was up. braided by Magistrate Samuel J. Ohringer. The judge examined a 7-inch knife blade said to have been Curry's and commented: "This goes beyond a switch.

blade. This is a dirk." Ohringer raised the knife to show it to the defendant's moth. er and asked her: "Have you been reading the newspapers lately?" Boy Stabbed The mother said she had, but added she did not know her son was carrying a knife. Curry was arrested last night in connection with an assault on a 19-year-old boy who was stabbed in the hand. Curry was ordered held in a total of $5000 bail on charges of felonious as.

Safety Praised "You can take a few short cuts in shooting a man into orbit. But if you want to play it safelike in Americayou may have to wait a little longer. "What we don't know is how Russian standards shape up. What degree of safety do they think it is wise to insure before putting a man out there?" Von Braun's clear implication was that if the Russians try to glamorize Khrushchev's United States visit with a manned space flight, it might be at the risk of human life.

7. (AP)Forty thousand troops paraded through this tropical capital today to mark the 137th anniversary of Brazil's independence from Portugal. Sea-Crossing Time Shrinks to Half a Day. Students End Long Tour in Old Bits Eisenhower had hoped to stop at Iceland on his way home for a planeside lunch with that country's president, Asgeir Asgeirsson. Bad weather forced a change of plans, and instead he flew directly to Washington with a refueling stop at Gander, Newfoundland.

on arriving at the White House from the airport, Eisenhower spent about 45 minutes in his office on official business and conferences with staff members. He arranged to see Republican congressional leaders tomorrow morning and then talk with Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell, who has been keeping him informed on the economic effects of the steel strike. The European trip was one of the most energetic ever undertaken by the President. He will have little chance to rest, however, before the talks with Khrushchev begin.

Also, he must meanwhile guide United States policy designed to cope with the communist rebel-ion in Laos. 0.. 4. 1001, i 7 .,,,1 4' A 411'z'A --4r k-s: 4,,, IC: I- 4.1p: 4, il 4 4 4 9 i us, fr 'It 4 1 4 ift4 1 0 A 'to 'I 4r, II 4'' ir et, A 4 7 I 1 i i 4 i.r 1 1 0 lo, I N. Illf 41414 1 I 4 4..

4: 0 4: '44'' COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Sept. 7. (AP)--An old double-decker London bus with thirty-four students from Oxford university arrived in Copenhagen tonight after a 3000-mile trip to Russia and back. The journey was made in four weeks. The students bought the bus In London this summer.

An American, Carey Parker of Philadelphia, said it had been "a wonderful trip." He said it was partly made for fun and partly in order to learn. All the travelers are students of political sciences. They lived at Moscow university in the Soviet capital and later went on to Leningrad. After a I5-day stay in Russia, the bus proceeded to Finland, Sweden and Denmark. "The bus is still going strong," Parker said.

"We have had very little trouble with it." SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 7. (AP)The jet airplane has suddenly shrunk the Pacific ocean and brought the once-remote Orient half a day from California. Pan American's Boeing 707 clipper Liberty Bell proved it on a history-making round trip from San Francisco to Tokyo over the week end, to open regular service. The Liberty Bell, pushed by tail winds to speeds up to 630 miles an hour, landed in San Francisco today, 15 hours 13 minutes after leaving Tokyo.

It was in the air only 12 hours 30 minutes and stopped for refueling at Wake island and Honolulu. A propeller plane crossing the Pacific takes 24 hours or more. Despite its speed, the Liberty Bell was 1 hour 20 minutes behind schedule into San Francisco. Refueling took unexpectedly long and it took more than an hour just to pass the 117 passengers through United States customs and immigration at Hawaii. Next month, with the addition of 500 feet to the Tokyo International airport runway, Pan American expects to be able to take off from Japan with a bigger fuel load and skip Wake.

Point of View "What is this town called?" the tourist asked. "Depends," answered the native, "on whether you have to live in the rundown old dump, or plan to enjoy its picturesque charm for only a few days!"
