THE NEW YORK TIMES, April 12, 1935 

* Williamsport, Maryland High School 
* Rockville, Maryland bus disaster (1st report)

The top of the front page has a one column heading: "13 STUDENTS DIE AS TRAIN HITS BUS, CARRIES IT A MILE" with subheads. (see) First report coverage on the school bus - train collision at Rockville, Maryland involving high school students from Williamsport, MD.
The top of page 23 has a one column heading: "ANNA K. GREEN DIES; NOTED AUTHOR, 88" with subheads and photo. (see) I suspect this is one of the few publications to report this particular event as other titles in our inventory do not.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 46 pages, light toning and minor wear at the margins, generally nice.
