A-14 THE EVENING STAR, Washington, D. C. ICC Opens Wreck Quiz, Toll May Rise to 46 NEW YORK, Sept. 18 (AP).—The Interstate Commerce Commission today opens an inquiry into the wreck of a Jersey Central commuter train which hurtled into Newark Bay through an open drawbridge Monday. The ICC investigation follows on the heels of a probe by Hudson County ofiiciaLs to determine whether human or mechanical failure caused the disaster. The toll of known dead rose to 27 yesterday. Another 19 persons have been reported missing; if all are confirmed as dead the toll would rise to 48. The five-coach train and two diesel locomotives--one a dead head pounded past warning lights and plowed through a derailing device before the en gines and two cars crashed j into the water. A third coach dangled from the bridge for some minutes, then dropped into the bay. The last two coaches remained on the trestle. Locomotive Raised The lead locomotive was raised from the water last night. No bodies were found in the cab. Hudson County Prosecutor Lawrence A. Whipple, after i questioning witnesses yesterday , at Bryonne <N. J.) police head quarters, said the train was going at “an abnormal rate of speed'’ as far back as a warn- i ing signal 2,000 feet from the , open draw. Mr. Whipple’s office im- , pounded the speed indicator tape of the lead locomotive 1 The tape was too wet and dirty to read immediately. The second engine was ex pected to be raised today. A preliminary autopsy on the dead engineer, Lloyd Wilburn of Red Bank, N. J., indicated , that a heart attack contributed to his death. The engineer’s fireman, Peter Andrew of Jersey City, is among the missing. Comments on Findings Commenting on the medical findings concerning Mr. Wil burn, Mr. Whipple said: “I think the engineer was gtricken at the home device (the red light 2,000 feet from , the draw). If he had all hisj normal faculties he would have glowed the train down.” Mr. Whipple said his investi- FRIDAY A CLEARANCE r T,T‘“L J&kl AND SPECIAL Ifecht Co.

Speaking on her trip through Russia to members of the District League of Women Voters yesterday was Dr. Helen MacKintosh, chief of the elementary school section of the De partment of Education. The group met at the YWCA. She reported her group, struck by the apparent diligence of students throughout the Russian school system, asked about discipline. They were told “privi leges” often were withheld from the student who acted up. But what privileges? The privilege of cleaning up the old school house, or washing the dishes. _ She said a love of labor was taught all Russian children at any early age. Planners Told To Ignore Critics NEW YORK. Sept. 18 'AP). —Executives responsible for long-range planning need plenty of courage and a thick skin, businessmen were told to day. In a speech prepared for the sixth annual marketing confer ence sponsored by the National Industrial Conference Board. Leonard C. McKesson, vice president for sales of Ansul Chemical Co., Marinette, Wis., said: “There are many hazards that confront the long-range planner. He must be sure of his data and thick-skinned with respect to critics. He is know has a disrupter of the status quo. ...” Programs mapped by the long-range planner will often result in a shakeup of corporate officials and this inevitably breeds resentment, Mr. McKes son warned. Mr. McKesson was one of 83 executives slated to address the three-day meeting at the Wal dorf-Astoria here. Broader SEC Powers Needed, Probers Find * ✓ By ROBERT K. WALSH sur Soft writer House investigators were con vinced today that the Securi ties and Exchange Commission needs broader supervisory power and authority to Impose stricter penalties to close legal loopholes and punish violations. But as the Legislative Over-j sight Subcommittee began look ing into a third case this week —the 1957 proxy battle for con trol of the Pcnn-Texas Corp. —the legislators felt that the commissioners have the re sponsibility to recommend im provements in the law and ad ministrative methods. Publishing Company Since resuming sessions last Tuesday the subcommittee has completed public hearings on the East Boston Co. phase of the investigation of Bernard Goldftne, the gift-giving friend of Presidential Assistant Sher man Adams. Late yesterday it finished questioning SEC offi cials about the Crowell-Collier Publishing Co.’s private issu ance of debentures to a select group of persons who were able to make substantial profits by converting them into a common stock. Today the subcommittee planned to ask SEC Chairman Edward N. Gadsby and his as sociates why the agency took no legal or administrative action last year in the proxy operations when the Penn ies as Corp. began in 1956 to acquire stock of Fairbanks, Morse & Co. The commission offered its written explanation to the sub committee yesterday. This stated that: “On the basis of all the information gathered to date the SEC division of cor porate finance has not believed it would have been justified in recommending to the commis sion that any legal action was or is necessary for the protec tion of the public or of invest ors in the companies involved.” Dull in Comparison Subcommittee hearings this week have been dull in com parison to spectacular sessions last spring and summer on the Miami TV Channel 10 case and the Adams-Goldflne associa tion.

The examination has centered , on determining whether Federal , regulatory agencies are oper ating as they are supposed to . do under the laws that created I them, and whether the laws themselves are adequate. . i The East Boston Co. case, the Crowell-Collier operation, and the Penn-Texas Corp. mat ter differed greatly in most respects. i But Subcommittee Chairman Harris and Chief Counsel Rob ert W. Lishman have com mented there has been laxity on the part of the SEC as well as loopholes in the law in each case. Yesterday several members i criticized the commission’s i apparent slowness in investl ' gating the Crowell-Collier case I They also cited the compara [ tively light penalties imposed after an SEC finding that the ;$4 million private sale of securities violated the registra tion requirements of the secur ities law. SEC officials explained that the commisison moved as rap idly as possible in the complex , Crowell-Collier case. Chairman Gadsby agreed with the sub committee members, however. ;that a tightening of the law "is certainly worthy of con sideration.” The commissioners promised to suggest some legis lation for the next Congress to consider.

Lt. Oen. Arthur G. Trudeau, chief of the Army’s research and development, said the cone showed it could protect not only a delicate nuclear warhead but pay loads of many types. The nose cone showed lt could prove adequate, he said, against vibration, acceleration and heating through all its flight stages. It carried a set of Instruments to record con ditions inside. Like Glass Fiber A spokesman estimated the cone weight at 1-1 Va tons and said its construction seemed something like glass fiber. It protects itself against the friction heat of re-entering the earth's atmosphere by burning away in flakes, shedding the heat with the expendable parts of its coat. This is called abla tion. Gen. Trudeau said the flight was made early May 18. The Army spokesmen also in dicated that the first Jupiter missile of operational ability has already come off the Chrys ler Corp. missile assembly lines. The Jupiter is an intermediate range ballistic missile, slated with the Air Force Thor for use in Europe within a year. X More Tests Slated The Army said that there were two more Jupiter flight tests to be run before the cur rent design was settled on for production purposes. Gen.
