The Anatomy
of
SUBLETTE, Kan. (AP) — When Sheriff Paul Black-
more arrived, he could see only one car, grotesquely
twisted out of shape
"I asked a man if anyone was hurt and he said yes
and that many were dead.
"And when he pointed, I could see the other car
down from the road a little, in a shallow place. Then I
could hear children and women screaming. Nobody in
the first car made a sound. They were all dead or uncon-
scious."

ROGER SALDIVAR, 11, had two broken arms and
a fractured pelvis. Gilbert Saldivar, 9, had a fractured
left ankle Gary Saldivar, 7, had a fractured right clavi-
cle and possibly a broken leg. Susan Gonzales suffered
severe cuts and possible fractures.
Highway Patrolman Gail Rathbun said the car driv-
en by Blakely was proceeding west on U. S. 56. Mrs. Sal-
divar was driving north on U. S. 83.
The crash "knocked the Saldivar car about 200 feet
and the Blakely car about 75 feet," Rathbun said.
"It was the worst I've seen,” said Sheriff Black-
more.
There were no witnesses to the accident. No charges
have been filed.

The adults in the other car were Mrs. Dora G. Saldi-
var. 27, and her mother, Mrs. Sabena Gonzales, 57.
There also were Mrs. Saldivar's six children and her sis-
ter, Susan Gonzales, 14.
Mrs. Gonzales, 4-year-old Nettie Saldivar and 1-year-
old Cindy Saldivar, were killed.
They had come from a Christmas visit to Post, Tex-
as. where Mrs. Saldivar's father-in-law lives. Mrs. Saldi-
var is estranged from her husband.
SHE MOVED with her mother and children to Leoti,
Kan., a few months ago for the farm work available in
the area. The accident was 70 miles from there.
The grieving members of the Gales family were una-
ble to talk about the accident. The Saldivar family had
not made many acquaintances in Leoti.
At Trinity Hospital in Dodge City where the injured
were taken, the hospital switchboard was flooded with
calls from people offering help.
"They offer blood or anything they can do for the
family," said Mrs. Bernice Cox, the superintendent.
"I've had so many calls I can't count them all."
Blakely, Marjorie Saldivar, 8, and Mrs Saldivar
were most seriously hurt. Blakely had a ruptured spleen,
a broken arm and broken ribs.
Marjorie’s chest was crushed and her right leg
broken. Both of Mrs. Saldivar's legs and arms were bro-
ken.

The 5 p.m. briefing was
a stormy one. Reporters
demanded to know why
they had not been in-
formed earlier that the
more lengthy allied truce
had not been observed by
the Viet Cong The issue
was sidestepped but some
information officers later
offered private lefthanded
apologies. They said in ef-
fect that the whole thing
had been pulled out of

mission had done an
about-face and was em-
phasizing truce violations.

ported showing improvement
Tuesday in West Texas Hos-
pital in Lubbock.
Dr. and Mrs. J, Fred
Kramer of Blackwell were
reported in serious condition
by hospital officials, ■ who
said both were conscious and
showing improvement.
Mrs. Larry Niemann, of
Austin, Texas, and her hus-
band were passengers in the
plane piloted by Dr. Kramer
when it crashed. Mrs. Nie-
back-to-war order had
been given prior to a U. S.
statement in Washington
that the United States
would continue the truce if
the Viet Cong would.
A detailed breakdown of
alleged Communist viola-
tions was given at the reg-
ular 5 p.m. military brief-
ing Sunday there had been
no statements since the
morning releases b u t
corps level information of-
ficers had given out details
of some violations, includ-
ing the chopping up of the
marine patrol just south of
Da Nang.
Statements Conflict
One morning military
statement declared Viet
Cong violations took place
"even on the eve of Christ-
mas when the Viet Cong
announced they would
cease all hostilities.”
A spokesman later said
the Viet Cong had pretty
well kept the 12 hour
cease-fire they had pro-
claimed and that 20 inci-
dents recorded Christmas
"No one has ever come
to me with any authority
to speak for Judge Chan-
dler, nor has Judge Chan-
dler mentioned a possible
successor."
When asked whether he
had a conversation with
Edmondson about the
judgeship, Monroney said,
"I don't want to identify
anyone.”
When asked whether he
has been "sounded out”
about his choice of a possi-
ble successor to Chandler,
he said, "I've been sound-
ed out by people trying to
determine whom I would
recommend."
He insisted, however, no
one has ever come to him
with an "offer" of any
kind. He said his "conver-
sations with various peo-
ple" about a possible suc-
cessor to Chandler "have
at no time been linked
with any offer from the
judge or anyone else."
(In Oklahoma City, spec-
ulation at the federal court-
house was that among
those Who likely would be
considered as a successor
to Chandler are Boston W
Smith, district judge in
Oklahoma County; Gran-
ville Tomer lin; Lynn J.
Bullis, and Coleman H
Hayes, all Oklahoma City
attorneys.)
Carter Bradley, Monro-
ney's administrative as-
sistant reached earlier,
said he knew nothing
about such a meeting be-
tween Monroney and Ed-
mondson.
