The Sox beat the Tigers, 8 to 2, in Detroit, but lost the second game, 5 to 4. By splitting, however, the Sox reduced New York's margin in the American league race to 4li games.

Billy Pierce, with help from Gerry Staley, scored his 18th victory of the campaign in winning the first game. Dick Donovan yielded three home runs in the rain-interrupted second match before he was relieved by Jim Derrington in the fifth inning. The Yankees lost to the Orioles, 8 to 7, in 11 innings, and 6 to 1, in Baltimore. George Kell, third baseman, drove in half of the Oriole runs in each victory, hitting safely six times in nine attempts. Connie Johnson struck out 14 Yankees in the second game.

The Milwaukee Braves moved relentlessly onward toward the National league pennant by whipping the Cubs twice in Wrigley field. The Braves made 26 hits in fashioning a 23 to 10 triumph in the opening contest, then won again, 4 to 0, behind the three hit pitching of Bob Trowbridge. The Braves now lead second place St. Louis by 8V2 games. At Washington Park, a Chicago bred filly, Pucker Up, faptured first money of $80,800 in winning the $117,400 Washington Park handicap.

S. PAT. OFFICE 1957 BY THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE 1 ACT TO BLOCK INTEGRATION IN ARKANSAS Governor Fears Race Riot Little Rock, Sept. 2 W) Gov. Orval Faubus ordered national guardsmen to round Little Rock Central High school here tonight and declared later that the troops "will probably have to help separate whites and Negroes and block scheduled integra tion tomorrow.

The school cannot integrate if peace and order is to be maintained, the governor said in a speech- Asked flatly afterward if he had ordered integration stopped, Faubus said: Cordon Around School That assumption might be correct. It will be left to the discretion of commanders. There is a very good possibil ity there will not' be any integration tomorrow." Even as the governor spoke over three television stations to the people of Little Rock, about 100 national guardsmen formed a cordon around the school that was supposed to have nine Negro students attend classes tomorrow. The guardsmen, carrying clubs and carbines, halted traffic on side streets along the high school and "directed it along the main thorofare in front of the building. Soldiers to Do Duty Faubus ended his half hour speech with the dramatic statement that the military was at the school not "as segregationists nor integra-tionists but as soldiers to carry out their assigned tasks." Then he said it was his opinion, "yes, even a conviction," that peace could not be maintained "if forcible integration is carried out tomorrow.

The schools in Pulaski county Little Rock must be operated on the same basis as they have in the past." In the past Central High has been all white U. S. Dist. Judge Ronald Davies of Fargo, N. sitting on the Arkansas district bench temporarily to fill a vacancy, ruled Friday that the school board's integration should proceed.

He issued a broad injunction forbidding anyone from interfering with the peaceful integration tomorrow. He would not comment -on Faubus' action tonight. Judge Bars Interference There was no immediate reaction from the school board, which planned a. meeting later tonight to evaluate the governor's action. Faubus said "I have information that a number of revolvers were taken from students both white and colored." He had made this statement before a court two days earli er.

Tonight he said the sale of guns and knives had jumped in Little Rock, many of them sold to Negroes and others to whites. The governor said he felt there should have been time to litigace Arkansas' anti-integration measures passed first by the 1957 legislature, and Continued on page 2, coL 2 mm 176 inns DIE, 500 HURT IN RAIL WRECK Train with 1,500 Falls 100 Feet (Picture back page) KINGSTON, Jamaica, ISept 2 W) A special train carrying 1,500 persons on a holiday CUBA itxium it rats HOKUM JAMAICA broke apart on a hill late Sun day night and plunged 176 or more to death. Nearly 500 more were in jured, officials said lonight in the midst of a continuing count of bodies and maimed victims in central Jamaica. The Most Rev. J.

McElaney, bishop of Jamaica, estimated in a broadcast over Kingston radio that the death toll would reach 200. The bishop is a native of Woburn, Mass. The wreck was one of the worst rail disaster in history. The passengers had been on a combined pilgrimage ana beach outing at Montego Bay across the island. Most of the victims were in two runaway coaches splintered by a plunge down a 100 foot embankment In Mountainous Area The 12-car train pulled by two diesel engines was wrecked about 11 p.

m. as it neared the town of Kendal, 60 miles west of Kingston, on the way back from Montego Bay, on Jamaica's north coast. Kendal is in a mountainous area and the site of the wreck was at a 2,000 foot elevation. The leading engine became uncoupled a half mila from the Kendal station. Then the second engine and two coaches broke loose from the 10 coaches making up the rest of the traiib Nine cars of the 10 were derailed.

The break came as the train rounded a curve at what survivors said was a fast speed. The derailed cars crashed into a culvert. One of the two coaches which plunged down the embankment burned and all within perished. The three rear coaches escaped serious damage. Most passengers in them were sot badly hurt.

Laid Oat in Rows Rescue crews due frantical ly for dead and injured among the twisted steel and splintered wood of the two coaches at the bottom of the embankment They worked amid shrieks and moans of. the injured. Some of the bodies were laid out inurows today. Some were scattered in the bushes. Others remained burie in the wreckage.

Of the dead, six were injured passengers who died in the hospital at Mande-ville, 14 miles away. Roads were bulldozed to the scene and all the dead were removed to Mandeville for identification by relatives. There will be a mass burial tomorrow. About 200 of the injured were rushed to Kingston by two special trains. Others were taken to towns near the wreck site.

Joseph Mitchell, a Kingston tailor, said, We were coming around a curve a bit too fast Out Driver Who Gave Ride to Jjady Freed (Picture on back page) Police investigating the slay ing of Judith May Andersen, 15, of 1520 N.

Luna went riding in automobiles with Two of these occasions were during the week prior to Judith's disappearance the night of Aug. 16. Her dismembered body, encased in two oil drums, was taken from Mont rose harbor on Aug.

22 and 24. When Terry, now vacation ing in Massachusetts, was questioned there last week by detectives, she supplied police with the names of five men with whom both girls were ac quainted. One Admits Pickups One of them, Harry Maran, 19, of 234 N. Pine a televi sion repairman, was ques tioned yesterday by police. He told of picking up Judith and Terry in his 1948 red Cadillac about July 25, riding around yvith them, and then taking them to his apartment, where they played records.

He said that was the only occasion they were in his apart: ment. This corroborated Terry's version of the affair. After being questioned, Maran was released. Dennis Buckley, 15, of 1445 N. Austin and Richard Bianco, 13, of 1740 N.

Monitor who frequent the Dairy King milk bar at 5756 North which Judith and another girl friend, Elena Abbatacola, 15, of 1019 N.

The federal government would bear $14,000,000 of the leaving $23,500,000 to be financed by the city.

Cite Need of Facilities A comprehensive plan for the harbor development program was prepared by the New York engineering firm of Tippetts Abbet McCarthy -Strattcn, which was engaged by Mayor Daley last Dec. 31 to study and report on the present and. potential water-borne commerce of the port of Chicago and to make recommendations on the city's existing and required terminal facilities. The nation's leading marine engineering consultants found that Chicago, the largest metropolitan center on the Great Lakes, at the junction of the Mississippi river and Great Lakes waterway systems, and the natural terminus of lake-ocean shipping, will be in an excellent position to become the principal port for overseas commerce" thru the St. Lawrence seaway.

Urge Terminal Space 8 But they concluded that Chicago must provide additional general cargo terminal capacity, on the lake front, and must carry on intensive and continuing promotional efforts to achieve its maximum potential as a port. Mayor Daley announced that he will submit the report and recommendations of his own to the city council on Sept. 17. Now for the first time we have at least a guide as to what the city's position should be in view of the anticipated I 1 HEAR SHEPILOV OFF TO SIBERIA Last of 4 Fallen Reds to Assigned MOSCOW, Sept. 2 UP) Dmi tri Shepilov, 51, fallen former Pravda editor and former foreign minister, will be sent off somewhere to Si-beria as a teacher, unof ficial reportsi said today.

Tf trim IViic bllt-pilOV HMV, will complete the assignment to remote and obscure jobs of the foyr leaders ousted for anti-party activities in the Kremlin shake-up in June. The report said Shepilov will not take up the post until he recovers his health. It is understood he has been in a hospital since early July. Molotov to Mongolia His reported assignment to a teaching post in a commercial institute would end the guessing as to the fate of the ousted leaders. Only Saturday, V.

M. Molo tov, onetime premier and chief of Russian diplomacy, was named to the minor job of Russian ambassador to Mongo lia. Former Premier Georgi Ma- lenkov was sent shortly after his ouster to run a power sta tion in far off Kazakhstan. Lazar M. Kaganovitch, de posed first deputy premier, is said to have been assigned to a cement factory in Sverd lovsk, western Siberia.

With Rise of Khrushchev Shepilov stepped into the Kremlin limelight with the rise to power of Communist Party Chief Khrushchev. He moved into the foreign minister's job from the chief editor's desk at Pravda, of ficial organ of the Communist party, on June 1, 1956. He succeeded Molotov. He was replaced last Feb. 15 by Andrei Gromyko.

In the shake-up he and the others were accused of oppos ing the foreign and domestic policies of Khrushchev. Shepilov lost his place as a candidate member of the presidium and his job as propaganda chief. i Fee for State Medical Care LONDON, Sept. 2 tReuters The cost of Britain's cradle to the grave socialized medical care is going up. From today, contributions to the huge state national in surance fund will be increased 15 per cent to meet the cost of running the national health service, child of a socialist government and bulwark of Britain's post war welfare state.

Now nine years old, the health service covers medical care, surgical operations, hos pital treatment, medicines, surgical appliances, maternity benefits, dental care, and men tal health. State Pays Deficit A big slice of the bill is paid for by weekly contribu tions to the national insurance fund by employers and em ployes thruout the country. The deficit has to be made up by the government. In practice, the weekly contributions enable every Briton to have free medical attention tho he pays a small sum for dentistry and drugs. Today's increase is expected to bring in another 000.

The total national health service bite from the weeTcly contributions deducted from wages and also paying for pen sions and unemployment ben efits will now be $224, 000,000. Earners Pay One-Ninth The boost in contributions will cover one-ninth the cost of the health service instead of one-seventeenth, with the treasury stepping in to pay the rest. Peter Thorneycroft, treas ury chief, said the health serv ice would cost $1,932,000,000 in 1957-53 against envisaged when "socialized medicine began in 1948. Briton, 62, Fined After He Insults U. S.

Flag LONDON, Sept. 2 Reuters At Speakers Corner Hyde Park's outdoor forum, Old Glory still has some supporters. Daniel Forbes, 62, found this to his cost today.

The Roman Catholic church considers all baptized persons, including infants, as members.

So do Lutheran bodies and the Protestant Episcopal church. Most Protestant churches, however, list only persons who have attained full membership, most being over 13. Sunday school enrollment was reported a record a 2Vz per cent increase. Building at New Peak New church construction topped the previous year by 40 million dollars for a total of 775 million dollars. This also was a new peak.

In the major Protestant groupings, Baptist denominations led with nearly 20 million members. Next came the Methodist denominations, claiming nearly 12 million; Lutherans, 7 million, and Presbyterians slightly below 4 million, The Methodist church is the largest single Protestant church body, reporting and nearly local churches. It was followed by the Southern Baptist convention, with 8,700,000 members and some 31,000 local churches. OIL REFINERY FUMES ANNOY FAR SOUTH SIDE Thousands of persons on Chicago's far south side and in the Blue Island and Palos Park areas were annoyed early today by oil refinery fumes. Police and fire departments and The Tribune received hundreds of calls from residents, who feared there was a gas leak.

State police traced the odor to the Clark Oil and Refining corporation at 131st st. and Kedzie Blue Island. Atmospheric conditions, police said, appeared to be hold-ins the fumes close to the ground. Workmen who inves tigated told police that the fumes were not dangerous. a Record New York, Sept.

2 Church membership of all faiths reached a new high of 103,224,954 in the United States last year, the National Council of Churches reported today. The figure, based on compilations for the council's 1958 Yearbook of American Churches, represents a 3 per cent gain during 1956, nearly twice as large as the estimated 1.7 per cent population increase for the year. It means, the council said, that 62 per cent of Americans of all ages are members of a church or A century ago, the percentage was only 20. In the last 30 years, the council said, United States church membership has doubled while the population increased by 40 per cent. Protestants Up 1.7 Million According to the new yearbook, there were 60,148,980 Protestants in the nation, 1,700,000 more than in 1955.
