roaring out of the night with the blast of a diesel locomotive’s
air horn.
Two figures emulating Santa Claus wore railroaders’ caps.
Their sleigh was the Sante Fe Chief.

to the engine crew of the Chief.
A couple of days ago a note

“Please be at home Christmas eve i
If you can. We may have a sur- 1

Yule T ragedy Strikes
'Man of Good Will'
SAN FRANCISCO. Calif., Dec. 25 W.—This is the story of
tragedy at Christmastime. It’s about a man who—thrpugh no
fault of his own—met death while trying to spread good will
among his fellow men.
It happened a few nights ago. Scoutmaster Walter Warloe
set out on a caroling tour in a bus with 36 Scouts and young
members of the First Baptist
Church choir. Six others adults
went along.
The youthful voices rang
through the quiet suburban
streets. It was a gratifying eve
ning. Appreciating smiles greeted
them on their rounds.
At 10:30 p.m., on the way
home, the bus broke down. Mr.
Warloe, 41, wasn’t too disturbed.
A resourceful man, he was an
assembly supervisor on the latest
Jet fighter model at Lockheed,
where he had worked since he
came from Moose Lake, Minn.,
20 years ago. Most of his spare
time was spent in work with Boy
Scouts and the YMCA, he was
used to problems.
Mi*. Warloe called for volun
teers. selected eight of the eager
throng who raised their hands,
and they got out to push the bus
off the road, to safety. Shoulder
to shoulder with him at the back
of the bus was Mr. Warloe’s son,
Kris, 12.
“Hit it!” cried Mr. Warloe, and
young muscles strained. Slowly
the bus moved forward. Again
they heaved, and the heavy ve
hicle crept onward.
Then it happened. A car came
screaming out of the night, in a
60-foot skid. It smashed into the
rear of the bus. Mr. Warloe was
crushed to death. His son’s left
leg was so badly mangled it had
to be amputated. Three other
youths were hurt, one critically
Police arrested the other
driver. They booked him on sus
picion of manslaughter and
drunk driving.
That was Friday. Last night
Belafonte to Sing
At Bowl After
Mixup Is Settled
MIAMI, Fla., Dec. 25 (IP).—
Harry Belafonte and officials of
1 the Shrine North-South football
game smoothed out a misunder
standing today and announced
the Negro ballad singer will lead
spectators in singing the national
anthem before the kickoff to
morrow night.
Mr. Belafonte said yesterday
that an invitation for him to
lead the singing had been with
drawn because Ben Lanier, po
tentate of the Mahi Shrine, ob
jected to him because of his race.
Mr. Lanier denied this.
| The Shrine official said when
he learned Mr. Belafonte had
been asked to sing, he turned
thumbs down because “our rules
prohibit any non-Shrlner from
participating with any of our
uniformed units.”
But early today the Shrine
land the singer reached an agree
ments Mr. Belafonte will lead
'the singing without any accom
paniment.

the Christmas tree glowed in Mr.
Warloe's house. But his widow.
Peg, looked at it blankly. Her
Christmas was empty.
“He was a wonderful mali.”
she said softly. “He devoted his
life to his family and to boys
everywhere.
“We was always doing some
thing for others.
“We had been married for 16
years. We have another boy,
Keith, 9, ahd a girl, Karen, 6,”
she added after a pause. “They
told me at the hospital that Kris
was better today.”
Then she looked at the Christ
mas tree again. Her eyes filled
with tears and she buried her
face in her hands.
The tragedy is that this story
is not unique. It can happen
wherever there are highways in
this country—to the typical or
the not-so-typlcal American fam
ilies. Mrs. Warloe is only one of
thousands of traffic widows.
