WILLIAMS, Ariz, June 27. persons under treatment In a hospital here Friday for Injuries suffered Thursday night when the locomotive and six coaches of Santa passenger train No. 1 were derailed 13 miles east of here. Two baggage cars and four chair cars overturned on the uphill side of a curve. A loose rail was believed to have caused the wreck.

Investigators said the fact that the passenger coaches overturned on the uphill side, rather than in the'sharply Eloping downhill direction probably saved many passengers from injury. The Injured, none of whom was believed to be in serious condition: List Of Injured Velma Vercher, Fresno, Calif. lira. Nellie Temberton, Kingman, Ariz. Claude Stephens, 38, Houston.

The eastbound Super Chief arrived In Flagstaff at 8:41 a. only 11 minutes late. Brief Siegel Service Held LOS ANGELES. June 27. (U.B-- Benjamin (Bugsy) Siegel's body rested Friday in an ornate $5,000 silver-plated casket burled In a middle-class cemetery next to a movie studio.

The body of the murdered gang chief was taken there just before dark Thursday from the chapel where members of his family held a simple service for him. None of them witnessed the burial. The coffin was his family's only concession to gangland-style funerals. They drove up to the mortuary with Rabbi Max Kert and announced: "We would like to hold the funeral now." The entire service took only four minutes. There was no eulogy, no flowers, no henchmen for pallbearers.

Rabbi Kert chanted the 23rd psalm and then spoke a Hebrew prayer for the dead. The only mourners were Slegel's divorced wife, Estelle, their two daughters, MlUlcent, 16, and Barbara, 14; his brother, Dr. Maurice Siegel; a sister, Bessie Soloay; and Alien Smiley, friend and business associate who was sitting beside Siegel when he was slain last Friday. 8 To Any VillageFloodLoss? Sattan Batfg Cltlira Friday Evening, IT. H4? The flood situation In the Middle West has emphasized the possibility of flash storms here which bothered the city burghers no end in the years of 1941-3.

And those floods were costly to the extreme as court records of damage suits filed against the city will prove. But the damage from those flash storms was not confined to the city areas alone. Bridges along the Rillito were undermined, county roads washed out, and private property damaged due to lack of proper drainage. And repairs of the highways were long delayed. Those flood days have not been forgotten as evidenced by a citizen and taxpayer of the Village of Rincon--an involuntary resident he says--who lives beyond the Pantana Wash.

He recalls that the bridge there was undermined and Impassable for weeks. And that the bridge over the Rillito, while washed out to a lesser extent and was still passable, was damaged and cost money to repair. "What, he asked, "will the Village of Rincon do if there happened to be a recurring flash flood this year. All the elements indicate that one might come. And here Is a village with Insufficient, If any funds, to repair bridges and roads that might be harmed?" This is but one of the problems with which the Rincon incorporators are faced.

The village is responsible for the upkeep and the repair of its roads and bridges. Neglect might lead, not merely to the embarrassment of Its residents, but to Instigation of expensive damage suits by residents and nonresidents who might be damaged by flood waters. Tucson Had To Fay Tucson has been through all this. The city, it will be remembered, pleaded that the floods were an "act of God" and attempted to cry off responsibility. The Arizona supreme court did not agree and the city paid thousands of dollars for property damages, real and personal.

And with that in mind, Tucson City Manager Phil Martin, already worried over possible high waters in the business development just east of the Broadway subway, is building up a reserve of sand bags to hold the waters back, if and when they should come. And he is not overly optimistic as to the results. It might ba well for those re- sponalble for the Rincon incorpora- landowners. The village is without equipment for the care of its streets and highways and lacks sufficient funds to handle a major catastrophe. And it is the responsibility of the village officials to keep Its travel tion to pay heed to the query ot arteries open and In good repair one of their resident taxpayers lover their entire village area of 25 and to the worries, too, of adjacent square miles.

(ff)--Chairman Joe Hunt of the state tax commission has suggested that the counties are entitled to a share of $1,400,000 In sales tax revenue placed In the general fund by State Auditor Ana Frohmlller since 1943. He said the matter already had been broached to the Marlcopa county board of supervisors. The amount Involved, Hunt represents the four per cent of sales tax collections above the amount actually budgeted for the commission to administer the tax law. After the budgeted amount was deducted from the four per cent, which Is earmarked for administration, the balance was placed in the general fund. If the general fund had not been credited with the excess, Hunt said, tbe counties would have received an additional $840,000.
