Valley Ski Resort sent one of two huge cable cars plung
ing 30 feet toward the ground Saturday and jammed a
second one, stranding about 100 persons in the dangling

aparently seriously, said Placer County Sheriffs Capt.

juries, but he did not know how many people were hurt
or the extent of their injuries.

the ground," said Bill Boardman, director of Squaw
Valley Ski Corp. "The other one is about 800 feet above
the ground. We are evacuating both cars.

Authorities said the early-afternoon collision 19 miles
south of this central Italian city apparently occurred when
a northbound train left its tracks and was hit by the
southbound Rome express, which was traveling an esti
mated 66 mph. The tracks were said to have been
loosened by the heavy rains.
Actress charged
Rome Actress Sophia Loren, already named as an
accomplice in her husband's currency-transfer case, has
been charged with illegally exporting art objects worth
more than $3 million.
Rome Prosecutor Paolo Dell'Anno, in investigating the
financial status of Loren and her husband, film producer
Carlo Ponti, also accused the 43 -year-old actress of
establishing unspecified funds abroad without informing
Italian officials.
The prosecutor revealed that American actress Ava
Gardner and Irish actor Richard Harris have been charged
in connection with the Ponti case. He said they had
allegedly accepted dollars rather than Italian lire for work
done in Italy.

WHY lfNT DRAUGHT BiEER
SPELLED DRAFT BEER?
This is one of those unanswerable questions, like. "Which came first,
the chicken or the colonel?"
However, discussing it can be quite rewarding.
So. as your Dean of Beer. I suggest you gather a group of fellow
scholars and ponder the question over a significant sample of draught
Schlitz. (Or is-it draft?)
This procedure is known, in layman's terms, as a "Beer Party."
This will undoubtedly raise a question for further study: Why does it
taste so good?
To obtain proper research materials, consult the Yellow Pages for the
name of your local Schlitz distributor.
IF YOU DONT HAVE SCHUTZ,
YOU DQNT HAVE GUSTO.
