I Tragedy Denville, after being in a coma LUPFER (fl Ten passenger cars of the Great Northern Railroad's eastbound Empire Builder were derailed here early Sunday while most of the passengers were still in their berths. A company spokesman said no one was injured seriously in the accident 11 miles west of White-fish. He said a few of the train's 130 passengers reported being shaken up and receiving a few bruises. The accident occurred at 6:20 a.m. and was believed caused by a split rail.

The engine and two cars passed over safely but the next 10 cars jumped the track. However, all remained upright on the roadbed. The Empire Builder left Seattle for Chicago late Saturday. T. A.

The special by a 79-1 vote of the Senate, was given broad authority to inquire into "attempts to influence improperly or illegally" the Senate, senators, candidates or federal officials or employes "through cam- paign contributions, political ac tivities, lobbying or any and all other activities or practices." A check of those of the four Democratic and four Republican members willing to express their views publicly brought suggestions for investigation of a score of in- dividual organizations, groups or Sen. Gore D-Tenn, who is ex- pected to become chairman of the group, has said he wants to look into the "interstate transportation of money" in political campaigns out-of-state gifts to candidates jfrom the donor's area.

Other suggestions for investigations ranged from the activities of labor unions and the National Assn. of Manufacturers to alleged "pressure" behind the mailing of; postcards to Sen. Lehman (D-NYM urging him to support the natural, nas bill, which he voted acainst. Some of the committee mem- hers emphasized that they are set up the ringleaders of the mob. No estimate of property damage was available immediately, Folsom said about 15 persons were injured, including one policeman who got a cut on an arm, and five firemen who were peppered with rocks when they tried to disperse the marauding mob with water.

There were no serious injuries. A group held a "drag race" on the beach about 1:30 a.m. after or der had been restored. An accident sent three to the hospital, two re ported with serious injuries. Police said trouble started about 8:30 p.m.

when officers stopped some young "drag race" enthusiasts from "scratching off" from the main street intersection down an approach to the beach sands. Drag races two or more cars matched in an acceleration test-are a favorite with hot rod auto fans. Drivers ram the accelerator to the floor board and "scratch off" with tires screaming. Youngsters who had been standing at the intersection cheering the rubber burning antics apparently thought one of their group had been arrested but Police Chief Roy Allen said no arrest was made at that time. Cries of "Bring him back, bring him back, greeted reinforcing police.

Then, Allen said, tires were slashed on two police cars and windows smashed on one. At various stages, police fired three tear gas shells into the mob but Allen said the rioters seemed to come back stronger than ever so those tactics were abandoned. Allen adopted a "wait and see" policy and the mob appeared to be gradually breaking up into smaller groups and dispersing. Then two fire trucks pulled into the area and started breaking out hoses. That set the mob off again.

They slashed hoses and chased the firemen from the area with a shower of stones, bricks, and slabs of wood from shattered signs and benches. Numerous large firecrackers also were thrown as the firemen beat a hasty retreat, leaving hoses behind with water still running. The mob broke out several plate glass windows in business establishments, damaged parked or passing autos, tore down signs and (Continued on Page 2.

The Western Star, also east-bound, stopped at Spokane, Sunday morning to pick up extra cars for the Empire Builder passengers. It was due in Whitefish at 2:30 p.m. The road is double tracked here, so other trains were not delayed.

Fisher reported that two pull-man cars were tipped at a 45-de-gree angle. The diesel engine, the mail car, and one coach car remained on the track.

Black clouds were borne aloft from Arizona to the Texas Panhandle by winds that were clocked as high as 60 m.p.h. The Weather Bureau said there were no signs as yet that the storm would bring more tornadoes, but that there is a possibility of thunderstorms in Missouri "the next thing to tornadoes," a fore caster said. Unlike the deadly storm that claimed 16 lives and caused property damage in the millions, the disturbance was not accompanied by much rain in the beginning. A few showers broke out along the Gulf Coast from Galveston, to New Orleans. The Weather Bureau said the disturbance was following almost exactly the same course as the earlier storm.

As it races toward the Ohio Valley it will be preceded by warmer air that when it mixes with the cold air will probably strengthen its winds, the Weather Bureau said.

Congressional leaders including Senate Republican leader Know-land of California and Chairman George (D-Ga) of the Senate For eign Relations Committee have expressed opposition to any long term commitment authority. They contend foreign aid spending should be subject to congressional review each year. President Eisenhower told a news conference on Jan. 25 there are certain projects in which "you have to give some pledge of going on to the end" if they are started.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A new storm raced out of the Southwest Sunday night along the path of death-dealing wind, snow and rain that crossed the nation just a day ago. The storm grew stronger as it sped at 40 miles an hour toward the Midwest and the Ohio Valley, but tornadoes like the ones that ripped southern Illinois and central Indiana Saturday were not forecast. The new disturbance brought re School Trustee Caucus Deadline Falls Deadline for caucuses for nominating candidates for the Board of Trustees of School District 1 passed at midnight Sunday without notification of additional nominations being received by Clerk W.
