You'd have thougtt the whole town was being wiped out - from the way things blazed and blew up. The uproar began when a speeding freight-train ran oft the tracks, and cars were hurled against another train there at a stand-still on a aiding in the town. The care that were flung were four tankers carrying crude oil; also two loaded with ananonia, one with naptha and another with gaaoltm. Each with a fine lot of chemical devastation to be thrown about. The gasoline tanker exploded first, then the other■ burst - with flames and fumes all overy;he place. These tlamea ' touched orr a box ear loaded with artillery shells for twenty-millimeter guns. And they blew up. So it was like the war in Korea - bursting shells flying about H1111.arda, Ohio, 1n a crazy barrage. Six hundred p A ople w er e endangered, but only four were injured slightly in thRt Ohio inferno. POLJQI Thia next bit of newe was to have been expected, I suppose, the Imps of irony would have 11 - that way. They•• were asking for something aarQon1o at Shelbyville, Ind1a.na, when they submitted the local police toroe to a compet1t1va exam1nat1on. Shelbyville h&a sixteen cope headed by a Chief ot Police, and the town fathers wondered - wa1 \he oh1ef really the amartest ot the cope. Maybe one of the others would quality better for the top job. So they held a;n exaalnat1on, the way a school ho141 an exa■ -- and announced that•ihe cop aeouring the highest mark would be made the Chief ot Police, wou14 change pla~e• with Cblet Maurice Moberly -- unless the Chief won the competition. So here'• the result. The top ecore waa made by patrolman Lloyd Mellis, who has been poundlAI a beat tor fourteen years. So he, today, becomes the - ~ \ - Chief of Police -- while former Chi e f Moberly takes )}.. his ~•a place pounding a beat. 11111 In Jacksonville, 1lor1da, two kin a are hel4 for trial - Gypay ~1ngs.
