Two Dead, 300 Injured
As Two Trains Collide
Near Boston Suburb
By the Arsociated Press
BOSTON. April 22.—Two engine
men were dead today, a third was
in critical condition and approxi
mately 300 persons reported injuries
after two New Haven Railroad pas
senger trains collided head-on last
night near Readville, a Boston
suburb.
The dead were: Norman Goodwin,
37, a fireman, and Engineer William
E. Bean, 59, who were crushed in,
the cab of their Hartford-to-Boston
locomotive as it crashed into a nirte- i
car Boston-to-Providence train.
Railroad officials said one of the
trains had run past stop signals and
that afa investigation was under way.
The impact of the collision hurled
the tender of the Hartford-to-Bos
ton engine into the cab, trapping
the engineer and fireman in the
twisted wreckage. A wooden car at
tached to the tender was a splin
tered wreck.
A -fleet of 30 ambulances, several
fire trucks and Red Cross mobile!
units were dispatched to the scene.
Two hours passed before stunned;
and hysterical passengers were re
moved to hospitals.
None of the coaches overturned,
. but doctors said the sudden shock
of collision hurtled passengers
against seats, most of them suffer
ing head and face lacerations or
injured legs.
John B. Ingram. 64, of Mans
fielc^ Mass., a passenger on the
Providence-bound train, said Navy
enlisted men removed ice from
drinking fountains to form packs in
aiding the injured. The sailors
quelled panic among women passen
gers by their calm action, he added.

Veterans' Group Chief Hits
'Communist Agitators'
Char|ing that “Communist agi
tators” are attempting to disrupt
veterans’ organizations, William M.
Floyd, national commander of the
Regular Veterans’ Association, has
directed its 482 posts to “investigate
thoroughly” the military service and
background of applicants.
“Because a man has a normal
discharge paper doesn't necessarily i
mean we want him,” Mr. Floyd said.
“We want to be sure has no com
munistic elements in his veins.”
Although Mr. Floyd said he has
found no evidence of "un-American
influences” in his organization so
far, he said, “it is a well-known fact
that communistic agitators in this
country are employed to infiltrate
veteran and labor organizations. \
Their purpose is disruption and the
breeding of discontent, suspicion
and racial and religious hatred.”
His order directing investigation
of new applicants was made
through an editorial in the organi
zation’s publication The Regular.

Steel Firm Loses Fight
Against Pay for V-J Day
PHILADELPHIA, April 22, — A
long-standing dispute involving pay
ment of wages for V-J day has been
settled by Circuit Court Judge Her
bert F. Goodrich, who ruled in ar.
arbiter's decision Saturday that
Midvale Steel Co. must pay its
workers $90,000.
The V-J day pay issue was a
major factor in a 63-day strike at
Midvale’s Nicetown plant last year.
A spokesman for Local 18,887 of the
AFL’s Federal Labor Union said
employes protested the company’s
failure to act favorably on Presi
dent Truman’s request that workers
be paid straight time for two V-J
day holidays.
Midvale had agreed to pay only
for the first day, August 15.
The spokesman said Judge Good
rich’s findings will result in payment
of the $90,000 to 3,000 workers
affected.

16 Governors Demand
End of 'Deficit Spending'
By the Associated Press
Governors of 16 States, 10 Repub
licans and six Democrats, issued
statements today calling for a bal
anced Federal budget and an end
to "deficit spending.”
In addition, Gov. Walter Good
land. Republican, of Wisconsin said
he was in sympathy with such a,
move but issued no statements, and
Gov. Phil M. Donnelly, Democrat,
of Missouri declared:
"I’m as much for balancing the'
budget as any one else, but whether
it should be done now or not is up
to those in Washington who have
charge of it.”
The governors’ statements were
made after suggestions by various:
State taxpayers' associations, which|
are not organized nationally but
which have an informal national
"co-ordinating committee.”
Tom Fiske, executive secretary of
the Illinois Taxpayers’ Association,
said he had set the "co-ordinated
release date” for the statements and
added that the idea came from a
statement by a group of 16 members
of Congress several weeks ago.
Governors urging that the Fed
eral budget be balanced included
O'Conor of Maryland, McCord of
Tennessee and Tuck of Virginia.
Transfer of Nazi Assets
To U. S. Concerns Probed
By the Associated Press
Attorney General Clark disclosed
yesterday that 20 special investiga
tors are in Europe seeking evidence
on the transfer of German assets in
this country to "corporate fronts."
Mr. Clark estimated that the Nazis
transferred control of about $1,000.
000.000 worth of American proper
ties to "trusted individuals" in this
country.
"Through corporate intermedi
aries,” the cabinet member said,
“the Germans hoped to hide owner
ship of certain corporations, patents
and other properties in the United
States.
“They anticipated the possibility
of war between the two countries
long before 1941 and remembered
the experience of the last war when
they lost properties in the United
States.
“So they went through a care
fully calculated series of cloaking
transactions in which they put their
American properties in the hands of
individuals they believed they could
trust.”
Mr. Clark said Swiss and Swedish
neutrals and “even some natural
ized Americans acted as fronts for
the Germans in these maneuvers.";
Banks Seek Greater Share
In Netherlands Loan
By the Associated Press
The Export-Import Bank is being
pushed to let the general invest
ing public participate in its loans
to foreign nations.
At the moment, the bank is under
strong pressure from other govern
ment agencies to open up its $200.
000,000 loan to the Netherlands
government for wider participation
by private banks, trust funds, in
dividuals and corporations.
Holland’s good credit record and
rapid economic improvement since
the war make her bonds potentially
acceptable to private buyers, offi
cials contend. Adoption of such a
general policy, some officials noted,
might permit private sharing in the
$1,000,000,000 loan asked by Rus
sia.
As far as Holland is concerned,
William McChesney Martin, jr.,
chairman of the Export-Import
Bank and a member of NAC, has
acceded to the extent of inviting
commercial banks, at meetings in
New York and Chicago, to supply
part of the money needed by the
Netherlands.
However, this is limited to banks
which can supply at least $1,000,000
each. Other officials are urging that
the sum be lowered—perhaps to as
little as $10,000—and that a public
invitation be extended to other types
of banks and investors.
Gallinger Head Stresses
Need for Trained Nurses
Gallinger Hospital needs at least
75 more trained nurses, Dr. Alvin
Sweeney, superintendent, said in a

Speaking on Station WOL, Dr.
Sweeney said that, grateful as he is
for volunteer help, nothing can re
place the services of trained nurses.
The hospital head thanked Chair
man O’Mahoney of the Senate Dis
trict Appropriations Subcommittee
for showing a “willingness to im
prove conditions at Gallinger’’ by
conducting an investigation last
week of a large number of “pre
ventable” premature baby deaths
there.

Dutch Must Replace 530,000
War-Torn Homes, Envoy Says
Take this country's housing prob-.
lem, add a small matter of 80,000
dwellings destroyed and 450.000 so
damaged as to make them unin
habitable. and you have an idea
of what Holland faces in its post
war reconstruction program. Dr.
Alexander Loudon. Netherlands Am
bassador to the United States, said
today.
Speaking in the Commerce De
partment lobby at the opening of
an exhibit entitled “The Nether
lands in a Changing World,’’ Dr.
Loudon stressed what also proved
to be the central theme of the
photographs on display, namely,
that Holland is making impressive
strides in the reconstruction of its
war-devastated land. But he ad
mitted the housing problem was
causing some trouble.
Highway Transportation
Development Discussed
Continued development of high
way transportation is necessary to
a prosperous America, Arthur C.
Butler, director of the National
Highway Users Conference, told a
luncheon meeting of the American
Public Relations Association at the
Willard Hotel today.
Mr. Butler pointed out that future
employment possibilities in high
way transportation depend largely
on sound policies of taxation and
regulation. He estimated before the
war some 6.700,000 persons were em
ployed in the highway transporta
tion industry.
Mr. Butler also issued a state-,
ment of policies developed by thei
conference which asked for ade
quate highways and bridges, regula
tion of motor vehicle operation only
to the extent necessary to protect
the safety of the public and low
motor vehicle use taxes.

G street N.W., died in Gallinger
Hospital today from burns suffered
on March 28 when his nightclothes
became ignited while he was in bed
at the Ro"k Cre.ek Sanatorium, 2529
Pennsylvania avenue N.W.
Police said the man’s clothing ap
parently caught fire from a cigaret
i which he had been smoking in bed.
"When we have jjpbuilt 530,000
houses we will have reached the
point where we can attack the same
sort of housing problem that Is j
troubling you here," he said.
Dr. Loudon spoke in response to
a brief address by Undersecretary
of Commerce Alfred Schindler, who;
formally opened the exhibit. The
United States believes that “trade
between nations must be a two-way
affair to be lasting" and therefore
welcomes imports from industrial
Holland, Mr. Schindler said.
The exhibit, arranged by Paul
Blomberg, depicts the ravaging of
the Netherlands during the war and
the subsequent, steps taken to make
the country once again "a going
concern." It will be at the Com
merce Building until April 30" and
then will tour the United States
and Canada.
Bill Drawn to Authorize
Many D. C. Expenditures
The Commissioners have sent to
Congress a proposed bill under
which separate legislative authority
would be granted for scores of items
which for many years have been
counted in city appropriations bills
without legislative authorization.
Covered by the proposed measure
are items ranging from samples pur
chased by the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board to searches for es
caped prisoners.
The bill is in line with the ex
pressed wish of the House Appropri
ations Committee that such author
ity for expenditures be given pro
tection against the raising of a point
of order. A similar bill for other
Federal departments is pending be
fore Congress.

Racial Hold on Intelligence
Doubted by Anthropologist
There is no scientific basis for
thinking that the most intelligent
or imaginative people come from one
racial or religious group or any
certain country. Dr. Ruth Benedict,
professor of anthropology at Colum
bia University, declared last night
on the “Americans All" program
over station WWDC,
The program was the fourth in a
series sponsored by the Institute on
'Race Relations to foster racial and
'religious tolerance. It is heard at
11:30 p.m. each Sunday.
“The cure for racial prejudice,”
Dr. Benedict declared, “is to treat
people on their merits, without ref
erence to the labels of race, religion
or country of origin.”

Building Supply Gain
Reported, but Wyatt
Is Not Optimistic
Production of many critical build
ing materials needed in the veterans’
housing program is running substan
tially above a year ago, Housing
Administrator Wilson W. Wyatt re
ported today, but he warned that
“this does not alter the fact that a
critical situation exists.’’
Mr. Wyatt said that as a result
of delay in receiving legislation
from Congress, the program is being
set back three months. Accordingly,
he added, it will take redoubled ef
forts of industry, labor and govern
ment to reach the goal of 1,200,000
units completed or under construc
tion this year.
The housing chief reported that
production of common and face brick
was up 100 per cent over the first
quarter of 1945; cast iron soil pipe,
up 75 per cent; clay tile, 60 per cent;
cast iron radiation, up 35 per cent;
gypsum board and lathe, 25 per cent;
clay sewer pipe, 23 per cent, and
warm air furnaces, 20 per cent.
Earlier, Mr. Wyatt declared the
present OPA bill as passed by the
House endangers the entire housing
program, and expressed belief that
it would lead to inflation and sky
rocketing prices. He added:
“The uncontrolled inflation re
sulting would increase home pro
duction costs—already so high that
we face extremely tough prob
lems. It would drastically cut down
the volume of housing we hope to
achieve. Materials and manpower
would be diverted to other fields.
And priorities for veteran housing
would be useless as prices rose be
yond the ability of home building to
compete for materials with other
types of construction.”
The bill’s major clauses now call
for prices guaranteeing "reasonable
profit” to all manufacturers and
contributors, scrapping Government
food subsidies, repeal of the low-cost
clothing production program and an
end to the “cost-absorption” controls
limiting prices on autos, radios and
the like.
Only rent control survived the
House action Thursday as all efforts
to revise rent ceilings failed.
Spain Denies Charges
She is Threat to Peace
By th* Associated Press
MADRID,.April 22.—Spain's Pub
lic Works Minister denied last night
that the Spanish government was a
threat to world peace and said the
Franco regime intended to remain
in power regardless of any action
taken by the United Nations, even
economic sanctions.
Gen. Jose Maria Fernandez Lad

He also denied a charge by Span

had been conducted of political op
ponents held in prisons.
"If the victorious powers should
pay attention to these calumnies
against Spain, which I do not be
lieve, we will, unworried, continue to
live in Spain with dignity, walking
if necessary in case we lack gasoline
for automobiles, using carts for
transport if we are not able to oper
ate motor vehicles," Fernandez
Ladreda said.

New Discovery
In Hearing Aid
A remarkable and new improve
ment has been made in a hearing
aid now welcomed by thousands. It
is a small one-piece instrument
that does not require a separate

usually clear and powerful. So
made that it can be adjusted by
the wearer to suit his individual
hearing as it changes. It has met
all the exacting standards and is
approved by the Council on Physi
cal Medicine of the American Med
ical Association. One of the unique
