(AP) Mrs. Casey Jones, the widow of the greatest railroader in American folklore, died Friday at a nursing home. She was 92. The little old lady with the blue eyes had been in flashing frail health since breaking a hip several years ago. She suffered a stroke early this month and never rallied.

Before her health failed, Mrs. Jones spent much of her time traveling and telling the story of the legendary Casey who died 58 years ago, with his hand on the throttle "the Cannonball Ex- MADE BROADCASTS She made national broadcasts, spoke at folklore meetings and gatherings of railroaders. At home she answered floods of letters and received thousands of visitors. Many wanted to know whether Casey Jones was real or just a legend. Case's storied wreck near Vaughan, was a minor one.

He was the only fatality. But out of it a song was born that swept him to immortality. An Illinois Central Railroad, 12-29 when police fireman, Wallace Saunders, set the words to a coal-heaver's chant. From this dirgeful melody came the ballad of Casey Jones "on a big eight-wheeler of a mighty fame." Even before he rode No. 382 to his death Casey was known all over the Mississippi delta.

The long, low, eerie moan of his locmotive whistle followed by two quick blasts was his trademark. It brought the folks running. GUNNED THE THROTTLE On the fateful night of April 29, 1900, Casey was an hour and 35 minutes behind schedule when he pulled out of Memphis. But he gunned the throttle and as the fast mail neared Vaughan, 160 miles away, it was only five minutes late. Highballing through the night, No.

382 and its dozen coaches suddenly broke out of a heavy mist and roared down on a stalled freight train. Casey hit the brakes. But it was too late. His Negro fireman, Sim Webb. jumped to safety.

But Casey stayed with the train until his crushed and scalded body was pulled from the splintered wrecker means the police department. The but door, mayor was demanded He started the ended up with a $100 fine blocked by three policecity charges disturbing the men, a state policeman assigned Friday, the 51-year-old mayor Stratton's bodyguard, and Cur- got miffed because the Greater Aurora chamber of Commerce didn't invite him to a luncheon honoring Stratton, who was in town to dedicate a portion of Illinois' new tollroad system. Egan, bristling righteous indignation, showed up outside ran. "I'm coming in," the mayor said. "No, you're not," Curran answered.

There was more of the same before Curran ordered "Take him in." Reds Ahead For Short Range U.S., Russia Believed Even In ICBM Race WASHINGTON (AP) The United States and Russia may achieve workable ocean-spanning ballistic missiles at about the same time. This possibility was presented Friday by Maj. Gen. B. A.

Schriever, chief of the Air Force's ballistic missile division, who said "There is no reason to believe that the Russians are appreciably ahead of us" in developing the long range missile. This does not mean that Americans can relax, Schriever said. In a prepared speech, Schriever said "the informed consensus would seem to be that the Soviet Union presently has an advantage in what we describe as the 'short range' or under type of ballistic missile." 'SITUATION LESS CLEAR' "In the area of the intermediate range, or ballistic missile," he said, "the situation is clear. In this respect, should keep in mind that our own IRBMS, the Thor and the Jupiter, have been quite successful in their recent tests." Schriever gave the outline in al talk prepared for the National Ceographic Society. Schriever described plans for the new Minuteman ICBM which will use a solid instead of liquid fuel.

"Hundreds of Minutemen missiles can be placed in bombproof shelters, left unattended for long periods, ready to be fired from remote control centers on a few seconds notice." MINUTEMAN WILL, FOLLOW Minuteman will follow the Thor Atlas and Titan missiles. The Atlas is the nearest to perfection of the ICBMS. The Titan started out as an alternative for the Atlas, but, said Schriever, "It is now clear that the Titan represents an unexpectedly great forward stride in the ICBM." Plans now are to launch from underground sites, protected against hydrogen explosion attack. The Minuteman ICBM, with its solid fuel, will provide many advantages over liquid fuel missiles, Schriever said. "It will be simpler, more accurate, more reliable and more and can be operated al with fewer men, he added.

8 Negro Youths Switch Pleas, Are Given Life ASHEVILLE (AP) Eight young Negroes charged with attacking a 23-year-old White mother last Sept. 24 all tendered written pleas of guilty to the capital charge in Buncombe Superior Court Friday and were sentenced to automatic life imprisonment.

Mary Cornelia Hite Hinnant. Mr. Hinnant had been in declining health for several years. Born in Winnsboro, he was the son of the late Capt. John Alexander and Margaret Elizabeth Willingham Hinant.

At 3:45 p.m. chief defense counsel Harold T. Epps announced that all eight boys would tender pleas of guilty to the capital crime of rape. ACCEPTS PLEAS Dist. Solicitor Robert S.

Swain announced that the state would accept the pleas, thus removing the case from the jury, which had heard a full day of testimony. The solicitor's acceptance of the guilty pleas was approved by the court. Each Negro took his sentence calmly, without visible reaction, although two of the youths were wiping their eyes as they were escorted from the crowded courtroom. Sentenced to life imprisonment were James MacAdams, 15; Jackie Gentry, 14; Albert Falls, 15; Elbert Williams, 16: Frederick Shaw, 16; Donnell Houser, 17: Furman Camel, 16; and Randall Cunningham. Their cases will be automatically reviewed by the Parole Board in 10 years and every year thereafter.

This means they must serve at least 10 state prison. "WISE AND MERCIFUL" Before Judge Craven passed the sentences, he remarked that in accepting the pleas, the solicitor had been "wise and merciful." adding that in his "North Carolina is too enlightened to put to death a boy 17 years old." Swain told the court he I don't have confidence ed the guilty pleas "not because) jury, but because of the expense and uncertainty that can be caused by a lengthy trial." The assaulted woman and 8 companion were in Aston Park Sept. 24 when Negroes approached, asked for cigarettes, then left and returned. They assaulted Ander-1 son with sticks and dragged the woman to a wooded area, and criminally attacked her. Anderson freed himself and summoned officers.
