ROLLER COASTERS HIT, INJURING 24 Second Train Plunges Into Cars Which Dropped Back on Incline. Bs the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 21—A speeding roller-coaster train hurtled down a steep incline into the rear of an un- controlled train at Riverside Amuse- ment Park last night, injuring 24 of the terror-stricken riders and caus- ing a panic among onlookers. Witnesses said a train of four cars was near the top of a “hump” when it stalled and started backward. Pas- sengers gasped, then screamet as the train increased its speed and coursed part way up another incline A second train appeared at the erest as the loose cars rocked back end forth at the bottom of the dip, 10 feet from the ground. As terrified passengers stood on seats, tried to &cramble to the ground or grasped for supports, the oncoming train plunged into the cars with a sickening crash, % Both Tralns Wrecked. The impact wrecked the rear car of the first train and the front car of the second. The noise brought hundreds of merrymakers to the scene. Hysterical women frantically dashed to the roller coaster—named “The Pippin"—to determine whether heir children were in the wreck. Only three persons were reported geriously injured. Most of the riders, fuffering cuts and bruises, were re- | leased after treatment at a nearby | hospital Police investigated a report by passengers that a cog wheel safety | device intended to prevent cars from | going backward failed to function. Park officials gave no explanation for the accident. One version given by witnesses was that a broken wheel caused the first train to stall. The two trains carried about 30 persons, many of them teen-aged boys and girls. Passenger Tells of Horror. Bert Leviton, 18, who suffered leg injuries, said “it was a swell ride until | the crash “We were fust one dip from the end.” he said ‘After we started up the incline something seemed to snap The train hung poised there on the incline, and then began to slip back- ward."” After describing how the train #wung back and forth between the two inclines, he said: “I heard a roar | and saw the second train sweeping | around the curve and plunging down | toward us “EVery one in our train was scream- ing. and some tried to climb out. There was a terrific crash. It knocked our train half way up the incline in front of us. Our train slid back down, crashing into the second train Bgain." Charles J. Lukes, 26, passenger, said “I'll never forget the faces of the people in the first seats—their eyes bulging with terror. I shut my eyes— 1 think I prayed.” China another (Continued From First Page) able-bodied American men to form & volunteer company to reinforce the garrison the Army maintains here to protect American interests.

Foreign advices from Shuntehfu, south of Peiping, reported a Japanese plane fiew over the city Sunday after- noon and dropped a bomb in a north- ern suburb. One man was Killed. Then, the dispatch said, the plane at- tacked a regular passenger train on the Peiping Railroad to Hankow to the south The train was sald to have been erowded with passengers, including soldiers, all of whom were riding inside and were not visible from the air. Nine persons were reported killed when the Pplane opened fire with machine guns, The Japanese were considered deter- mined to wipe out the positions held by the 37th Chinese Division at Wan- | pinghsien and Nanyuan in the Peiping | area. It was thought possible other strategic points in the zone where Jap- anese and Chinese have been fighting for two full weeks would also be sub- Jected to attack. In a general attack against Wan- pinghsien, just north of the marble bridge of Marco Polo, west of Peip- ing, yesterday Japanese troops de- stroyed the Chinese barracks there with an artillery bombardment. The Japanese claimed they had also de- stroyed the Chinese armory. TOKIO SE SURRENDER. Privy Council Approves Attack on Peiping Suburb.

At the same time the Privy Council in plenary session approved the attack launched yesterday by the Japanese Army against the city of Wanpinghsien, & western suburb of Peiping, and com- mended the troops for their gallantry in action. In view of the ever-mounting grav- ity of the situation Premier Pumimaro Konoye decided to hold an emergency cabinet session every noon to deal in- stantly with any developments. Fight- ing between the Japanese North China garrison and the 29th Chinese Army has been going on west and south of Peiping for two full weeks. The cabinet decided the agreement it insists the commander of the the 29th Army, Gen. Sung Cheh-yuan, made with local Japanese authorities must be carried out despite its rejec- tion by the Chinese government. China repeatedly has declared Japan must deal with her central government at Nanking and no local truce would be recognized. The last of the series of agreemenis which Japan says Gen Sung made orally is the one the cabinet is deter- mined to enforce. Known as the “'secret spot agreement,” it was con- cluded between Gen. Sung and the Japanese North China commander, Lieut. Gen. Kiyoshi Katsuki, July 19 Apparently it provided for a joint Chinese-Japanese campaign against Communism, suppression of anti- Japanese agitation, a formal apology | for the first clash at Marco Polo Bridge July 7, an indemnity for the loss of lives and withdrawal of Gen. Sung's troops. ; Domei (Japanese) News Agency dispatches: from Peiping reported to- day that the evacuation had alrepdy begun and that Japanese planes had flown over Peiping to observe the withdrawal. (The Associated Press correspondent AIR €O ¥ 3 at Peiping declared, however, that there was no sign of the 29th Army's giving up the positions it has held throughout the two weeks fighting.) Because of the alleged national mobilization of Chinese troops to re- sist enforcement of any local capitula- tion to the Japanese demands, Japan continued to prepare for war on a major scale. The government announced it was drawing on its second reserve fund for $3,000,000 to pay the costs of the reinforcements dispatched to the North China area. A bill was being drafted for presentation to the Diet Friday asking an additional $12,000,- 000 for further troop movements. Tn an effort to stabilize the national currency for a large scale war, the government was reported planning to have the major banks conclude an exchange rate agreement to keep the yen pegged at 29 cents for international purchase of war supplies. Voluntary contributions continued to flood the government war chests, headed by one from Shinzaburo Kofuse, a wealthy stockbroker, who gave $140,- 000 for the purchase of six war planes. The Mitsukoshi department store gave $15,000 for the same purpose and the newspaper Hochi-Shimbun in- augurated a country wide drive for war funds with a contribution of $7.000. A similar drive by the newspaper Asahi had netted $600,000 previously. Late in the afternoon the Chinese Ambassador, Hsu Shih-ving, called on Foreign Minister Koko Hirota to give him a full explanation of the Chinese refusal of the Japanese demands. Hirota told Hsu that peace was pos- sible if the Nanking government would accept the Sung agreement. ‘The Chinese diplomat replied that his gov- ernment was not informed of the agreement and could not accept some- thing of which it was completely ignorant.

Dy INSURGENTS DRIVE 10 RESTORE LINES Massed Forces Seize Hill Dominating Town Fifteen Miles From Madrid. BACKGROUND— Spanish loyalists launched cam- paign a week ago to break eight- month siege of Franco's rebels about Madrid, simultaneously with shifting of large insurgent forces from northern front to renewed attack on the capital. More than 150 planes have taken part in ““greatest battle of the war,” sup- plemented by heavy artillery and about 200,000 troops. By the Associatec Press. MADRID, July 21.—Insurgent forces, struggling to plug a hole gouged in their lines west of Madrid by Gen. Jose Miaja's offensive, surged on the government salient from three direc- tions today. Their massed drive wrested a stra- tegic hill from Miaja's milicianos— “Peak 660,” from which they dominat- ed Villanueva de la Canada, a battle- scarred village about 15 miles west of Madrid and one of the early prizes of the government's two-week campaign. Loyalists Acknowledge Loss. The government acknowledged loss of the peak after three days of in- surgent counter-attack, but asserted it still held Valdemorilla and Villanueva |del Pardillo, at the mouth of the | “pocket” which Madrid's “‘milicianos’ cut into the flank of the eight-and- one-half-month-old siege lines on the capital's western front Within the “pocket” the government still held Quijorna, Brunete and Vil- lanueva de la Canada, east of which yesterday's struggle for “Peak 660" centered. Miaja's salient extends southward { and completion of its curving sweep insurgent slege forces on the western fringe of the city or force their evacuation On the other hand. a turning of | the tables of “the battle for Madrid"” would force Miaja's men to withdraw from the “pocket” or have the exit closed against them. Frontal Attacks Strategy. Thus the insurgent strategy today was to subject the government salient toward Brunete. Flanking maneuvers were directed from the west toward to halve the salient or nip it at its base. (An insurgent communique said the insurgents pushed Miaja's lines to the Guadarrama River about 4 miles east of Brunete and as- serted the government had lost more than 20,000 in the recent Madrid fighting.)
