Utah State Intersession Classes Open Monday With the 1941 Bummer session at Utah State Agricultural college drawing to a close this week college officials made initial announcement Thursday of the regularly scheduled intersession classes which will begin Monday and continue for four weeks. Students may regist.r for as many as five of six credits during the four weeks, and credit is computed on the basis of one hour credit for 12 lecture periods or 12 three-hou- r laboratory periods. Any student may register for intersession classes whether they attended the summer session or not, college heads said. Those registering for credit in research problems or field studies must make the necessary arrangements with the registrar's office at the beginning of the intersession, and credits allowed and tees charged lor this type of study will depend on the time spent and the work accomplished. Courses are available during the k period in the following fields: chemistry, education, English, history, physics, physiology, public health and hygiene, psychology and political science. Among the subjects listed in the intersession division of the summer catalogue are diagnostic and remedial teaching which deals with the subject and specific disabilities to prevent the typical student from adjusting to the average school situation, and also the organization and administration of education in the field of education.

' Such action would clear the way' for a Japanese assault upon Russia at Vladivostok and in Siberia and the maritime provinces. London heard that Germany has sent Japan an SOS asking for a quick attack on the Soviet in order to aid the nazi offensive in Russia. The statement by Toyoda gave the clearest hint which has yet been received of the nature of the policy to be followed by the new nationalist regime of Prince Fumimaro Konoye. Slap at Matsuoka It was a direct slap at Yosuke Matsuoka, retiring foreign minister, who negotiated not only the pact but the pact vltfi er Russia. Toyoda said that he had been fully informed of the negotiations which led to signature of Japan's pact with Germany and Italy but, he .sided, "in the last three, months the period of the signa-- t e of the pact he had only an "imperfect of Japanese diploUnowledgV macy.

Fybee and Clifford Folkman. Three charges were possible, stated Attorney Neland reckson. Involuntary manslaughter, less driving. We decided to throw the book at them.

They were killed last midnight in an automobile accident which occurred on state highway 91, about two miles south of Richmond. A brother of the one girl was critically injured, and is receiving treatment in the Budge Memorial hospital. Physicians gave him little chance to recover.

Attorney Nelson declared that charges would be lodged against Bybee, who waa driving. It is possible that a reckless driving count will also be filed. Will Ask Limit Id like to give these men the limit, state Attorney Nelson in reporting findings of the investigation. It is one of the worst examples of negligence in local history. He further stated that an inquest in the two deaths will be held. Riding in the Whitehead car, which was going north when the accident happened, were Mrs. Peter G. Whitehead, 59, who had accompanied the children on a swimming party to Logana plunge; Joyce Atkinson, 8, sister of one of the dead girls; Terry Jamison, 7, son of Mr. and Mrs. Reed Jamison, all of Franklin; Dale Andrews, 11, son of Mr. and Mrs. Los Angeles, Clifford Andrews, Cali.., and Verlin Corbridge, 10, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lester Corbridge, Preston.

The produce truck, going south, was driven by Mr. Bybee, who with his companion, had reportedly been drinking beer during the afternoon at a Franklin pool hall. Matter of fact. Bybee, In a signed statement to Sheriff Jeff Stowell, admitted the The Whitehead car was proceeding at a moderate rate of speed, on the right side of the highway.

The Atkinson boy was on the lap of his sister in the rear seat. After the impact, explained Attorney Nelson, the ack shot to the left side of the highway, and ran along that shoulder for 150 yards, strewing wreckage most of that - distance.

Mrs. Whitehead, in testimony presented to a newspaper representative today, stated that when the collision occurred, the two right wheels of her automobile were at least a foot off the pavement - so hard did the driver attempt to avoid a collision. Continued Toward Logan After bringing his truck to a stop. Bybee, along with his companion, got out of the cab and attempted to repair the truck so that it would continue running. that They told Sheriff Stowell they did NOT return to the scene of the accident, but continued north toward Logan. (Continued on Page 2) Highway Tragedy Described By Crowds Chaperone BY GUNNAR RASMUSON The joy and laughter that had marked a joyous excursion to the Logana bathing pool near Logan was turned into sorrow and tears about midnight Thursday when the group of boys and girls in the party were returning to their homes in Franklin. Two of the girls, Betty Whitehead, 15, and Jean Atkinson, 14, never will return home, and Forrest Atkinson, 8, lies in the Budge hospital in Logan seriously Injured. Tells Story In Bed Mrs. P. G. Whitehead, who chaperoned the crowd, is in bed at her home in Franklin nursing cuts and bruises on her arms and legs. Others in the accident received minor cuts and bruises. It was about 8 oclock Thursday night when we left home In Frank for the Logan plunge, said Mrs. Whitehead at noon today in her home. The children had been promised a swimming party for some time and we decided to take them there. While at the pool I noticed several young men came in and the thought struck me as I saw them, I hope we will not meet any drunken fellows on the road as we go home tonight. "I was so frightened that I called to Betty and suggested that perhaps the children had been in the pool long enough and that we had better start for home. In a few minutes they were all out of the pool ar.d we were ready to go home. Noticed Swerving My daughter Betty, who Is put 15 years of age, drove' the car.
