Towerman Came Close To Averting Fatal Rail Wreck Had Seen Burning Journal Box on Train and Tried to Get the Train Halted But Too Late Philadelphia, Sept. 10. (UP) Testimony of an official investiga tion intj the wreck of the Pennsyl vania railroad's Congressional Limited last Monday night revealed today that a towerman came within seconds of averting the derailment j which killed 79 persons and injured j 116 others. Harold McClintock, a switch en gincman. told the Investigators that he saw flames shooting from the journal box of one of the cars on the express as it flashed by him three-qiU'rters of a mile from the scene of the accident. McClintock said that he shouted to A. J. Carlia. a yard clerk, who ran to a telephone and called John P. Boyer, towerman at the sJgnal tower immediately ad joining Frankford Junction, scene of the cvash. Boyer told the investigators that even as he received the message th express jumped the tracks and cars began piling up. Earlier in the hearing the train's crew testified that routine inspec tions were carried out during the run, scaeduled from Washington to New York, and that "all was nor mal" five miles from Frankfonl Junction.

(UP) Associate war food administrator, i J. B. Hutson, today outlined a 1944 farm program calling for a 20 per cent reduction in hog numbers but larger milk and egg production. Dairy cows must be given prefer ence over hogs in the apportionment oi smaller total food supplies the next twelve months. Hutson told a meeting of the North Carolina farm Bureau Federation, the 1944 hog goal acccrding to Hutson, will be 100,000 000 head compared with 125,000.000 this year and 105,000,- 000 in 1942. The large reduction, he said, must be made in areas de pendent upon outside sources for feed. "Our principal concern is over the production of milk, the dairy products, Hutson said. "If a choice must be made between hogs and cows by farmers who have insuffi cient feed for all his livestock, we hope that the cows will be main tained. "The poultry flock also is likely (o feel the pinch of feed supplies this wiir.er, but we hope that the laying hen will not be made to suf fer on this account. It may be nec essary to make a further reduction in the production of commercial l-roiler. 5 Alimony in Goods Chicago, Sept. 10.
