PRE NE SCENE OF DESOLATION AFTER BLAZING CRASH SIX DIE IN BLAZING CRASH OCEANSIDE, Calif. (AP) -- Six persons, charred beyond recognition, were killed Monday in a massive, flaming pile-up of gasoline tanker trucks and passenger cars along a 300-yard stretch of fog - bound coastal U S. 101. At least six others suffered injuries; five large trucks, three of them gasoline, tankers, were destroyed, and more than a dozen cars were wrecked. Officers said an untold num- ber of other vehicles--perhaps @s many as 100--were damaged to. lesser extent: in rear-end colisions as they braked to avoid the flaming holocaust. Investigators said the action began like this: Two cars collided in north- bound lanes about 10 miles north of here in dense fog at 6:30 a.m. Two persons were hurt. A bus stopped and its driver carried a flare across to south- bound lanes, stopping traffic on that side. A gasoline-laden tanker truck swerved to avoid a_ transport truck carrying new cars and hit the highway's middle barrier. A series of collisions followed and ~ the tanker blew up, spreading waves of flaming gasoline over the highway and cars. Another gasoline tanker rolled up, trying to miss the knot of vehicles, and was hit by three passenger cars. A third tanker truck pushed one of the. cars into the stopped tanker and both of these tankers burst into flame, setting cars on fire all around them The section of highway in- volved is called "Slaughter Al- ley," a 36-mile stretch of four- lane, undivided highway be- tween San Clemente and Del Mar In 1964 and 1965, 84 persons were killed on the stretch of road, officials said.

WILL CONSULT ALLIES The review made plain Brit- ain will consult its allies about these proposed changes, But Britain will maintain its ground forces in Germany at about their existing level pro- vided some means can be found for meeting the foreign ex- change costs of these forces. The review said Britain will negotiate with its NATO allies on this point. Dealing with overseas bases, the review said Britain will have to retain substantial forces in Hong Kong for some time. It plans to keep its military facilities in Malaysia and Singa- jpore as long as the govern- ments of those countries agreed Britain could do so on accepta- ble conditions. But the review said Britain also has begun to discuss with Australia the possibilities of es- tablishing military facilities there if necessary, SETS CONDITIONS ean MT TE | APPENDIX MIGHT | PREVENT CANCER SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP)--A physician has found evidence that the appendix-- sometimes needlessly re- moved--may protect the body against cancer. Dr, Howard R. Bierman says 84 per cent of several hundred cancer patients in a recent study had lost their ap- pendixes years earlier. In a comparable group with- | |------_____________--_-- | TUTTE of lymphoid tissue, suggesting that, like such other lymphoid organs as the tonsils and spleen, it may secrete anti- bodies which protect the body against attacking viral agents."' Dr. Bierman said only a small part of the population is susceptible to development of such forms of cancer and that others presumably would not be in greater danger from those diseases after an appen- dectomy. "Tronically, most of the pa- tients in our study had devel- oped cancer after the routine removal of a perfectly healthy appendix," he said. "The op- eration was usually performed incidentally at the time of some other surgical procedure when the patient was, on the average, 27 years old." SIR DAVID LUCE First Sea Lord Quits On Policy LONDON (Reuters) -- Brit ain's first sea lord, Admiral Sir David Luce, resigned today in protest against the Labor gov- ernment's defence policy.

The talks had covered '"'the kind of matter that would be of | interest and concern to anyone The white paper spelled out three fundamental conditions limiting 's defence role outside the NATO area: \ 1. Britain will not undertake major operations of war except in co-operation with its allies. 2. Britain will not accept an obligation to give military help to another country unless it is ready to give the necessary fa- cilities to make such help ef- fective. | 3. There will be no attempt |to maintain defence facilities in an independent country against its wishes, The defence budget for 1966-67 was estimated at 2,171,000,000 ($6,513,000,000) compared with 2,120,000,000 ($6,360,000,000) for the last financial year. But, based on 1964 prices, the review said this amounted to a 72,000,000 decrease compared with last year and meant the! commander-in-chief forces in the Far East. Resignation of the first sex lord, senior naval member of of British the Admiralty Board and chief of naval staff, followed that of his political chief Christopher Mayhew, the navy minister, Sa- turday.

Simonett, minister of energy and resources, intro- duced a bill to allow the gov- ernment to build a rail spur to the Texas Gulf Sulphur Co. mining site near Timmins from the main Ontario North- land Railway line. The legis- lation would allow the gov- ernment to lease the 18-mile line. --Bills were introduced to reg- ulate and license all nursing homes; to allow an unmarried mother to change the name of her child, and to allow the Law Society of Upper Canada to take faster action on claims against it by defrauded clients of members. Attorney - General Arthur Wishart said the Law Society legislation will allow the Soci- ety's benchers to delegate their powers over the compensation fund to referees as well as to lished the commission. Mr, Martin added: "There are obstacles which should be removed before such a conference can be usefully called, "At the present time the road to a conference may be long. We all hope it will not be. How- ever, whether it is long or not, a beginning rill have to be made and we think the commis- sion powers may be able to help the parties make such a beginning." Canada has proposed to In- dia and Poland a reconvening of the Geneva conference of which Britain and Russia were co-chairmen.
