t Continued from page One)
Vogeler's leniency plea unser con
siderstion. It could not be learn
ed immediately what possible pen'
ally Vogeler faces.
Saaeteae, Also '
Vogeler told the court he had
been instructed by bis superiors to
commit sabotage by buying use
less mstenal and stocks tor tns
Standard Electrie company, an I.
T. 4 I. subsidiary in Hungary, and
to ssbotage deliveriea for the So
viet Union and other eastern Euro
pean countries.
The indictment against Vogeler
and the others accuses them in
part of deliberately decreasing the
productive output of the Satndard
concern to the detriment of the
country.
He admitted giving the U. S.
Army information on Hungarian
military and industrial matters
and said he had sent a map of
Hungary's telephone and telegraph
system out of the country. (Such
information is considered a state
secret in Communist-led countries).
CIC Member, He Says
Vogeler told the court he was
assigned to the American Coun
ter Intelligence Corps (CIC) in
Vienna, where he had his home,
and had worked under a Brigadier
General Howard.
(He was probably referring to
Brigadier General Edward Ho
ward, who came to Austria from
Italy with Gen. Mark Clark, and
was director of Intelligence in the
U. 8. Army headquarters there un
til late 19U or early 1047).
Asked by the court u he waa I
"trained specislist intelligence of
ficer of the United Statea Army,"
he replied: "Yea."
"I used my business activi
ties only as a cover for my espio
nage work," he declared.
VIENNA, Austria, Feb. Is
'My husband is merely recreating
from memory a lot of lies that
have been pounded into him for
calmly confessed to all charges
the last three months." Mrs. Ro
bert A. Vogeler said today in com
menting on report that Vogeler
brought against him by the Hun
garian government.
She said:
I have' known and loved Bob 1
for nearly 11 yeara. It would be
impossible for him to say aurh
things without any show of emo
tion. He just isn't that kind of
man."
Mrs. Vogeler, who lives In Van
na, heard the news of her hus
band's testimony in Budapest with
out showing any emotion except
possibly that of exasperation.
"Bob was too busy washing dia
pers and doing wsr work in Chicago
in 1942 to get mixed up with any
FBI agents," she said.
She added: "It is obvious to
anyone who knew Bob at all that
ha has been drugged or subjected
to some kind of torture to make
him ssy all these things. I don't
know whether the torture was men
tal or physical but they have cer
tainly done something underhanded
during the last three months."
Churchill Repeats Plea

of the two worlds which are rang
ed against each other."
"Why should it be wrong for the
British nation to think about the
supreme question of life and death
perhaps for the whole world at a
time wtien there is a general elec
tion?" he asked. He added that
only at election time could the ,
British people let their wishes be
known on international issues.
Aside from the cold wsr issue
Churchill confined the remainder
of his broadcast made from his
country home at Chartwell, south
of Ixmdon to domestic issues.
He accused Attlee of Socialist
aims for creating a "monster state
monopoly, owning everything and
everybody" which would result in
a big loss to personal and econom
ic liberty.
Churchill said the first project
of the conservatives, if given the
government reigns, would he to rut

try in the world."

CQr Weather
Cheers Flood
Victims, Crews
MARKSVILLE, Fla., Feb. II.
(JPu-Fair, balmy .weather today
and the forecast of more like it
cheered refuges and spurred res
cue crews in flood-stricken east
central 1-ouisiana and southwest
ern Mississippi.
Backwaters of a half dozen
streams tributary to the Misissippi
river covered an area of 2,000,000
acres. Some sections were under
three feet of water. Amphibious ve
hicles "ducks" threaded through
moss-draped woodlands, taking re
sidents, their livestock, bedding
and atovea to higher ground.
The alow-moving floodwaters rose
another two or three inches yes
terday. Residents Warned
Brig. Gen. Raymond Hufft of the
National Guard, in charge of res
cue operations, warned residents
of Marksville, La., that they may
be isolated completely in i few
days. ,
Ai nearby Ferriday, floodwaters
were creeping toward the outskirts
of the town.
Marksville's population is about
2,000; Ferriday's about 3,500. Al
most 1,000 tents for refugees are
pitched in Marksville, on the out
skirts of Ferriday and scattered
on nearby knolls.
Gaps Plugged
At Jonesville, I.a. (pop. 2,500)
gapa in the protection levee were
plugged, but Hufft predicted door-step-higher-wster.
He said the town
would not have to be evacuated.
The crest of the floodwatrra was
expected the first week of March,
and Hufft aaid it probably would
take several weeks to drain off.
About 1,000 persons have been
forced from their homes.
The Red Cross estimated that
from 12,000 to 14.000 persons in 12
Louisiana psrishes (counties) and
five Mississippi counties may be
driven from the lowlands by March
first.

track when tha westbound train,
coming down double tracks on the
other approach to tha siding,
crashed into it at a 15 degree angle.
The Impact of the collision
sheered the leading cars of both
trains in half. Tha steel sides of the
two coachea were torn aad inter
mingled. The two trains carried some 1.
000 psssengers, msny of whom hsd
crowded into the forwsrd csrs. All
the dead and injured were from the
metropolitan area.
Motermen Injured
Kiefer was injured but not
critically and a police guard was
placed at hia home until he could
be moved to the county jail for ar
raignment. Later, a doctor ssid
Kiefer suffered a possible brsin
concussion and could not bo ques
tioned, for at least 72 hours.
Scresming victims were mashed
beneath tons of twisted metal as
the traina came together with a
crash heard for half a mile.
Doctors hacked and aawed off
arms and legs to free some of the
injured.
"An eastbound electric passenger
train ran by - stop signal," was the
official explanation of the Long Is
land railroad for what was be
lieved to be the worst accident in
its 116 years.
1944 Tragedy Recelled
It was the nation's worst trsin
wreck since 45 persons died April
25. 1946, at Naperville, III.
Thousands of awed but curious
spectators flocked to the scene
while the desperate cries of trapped
victims still echoed on the night
air.
An estimated 1,000 passo-gers
were on the two trains.
Rockville Centre, a community
of about 20,000, is 20 miles east of
Manhattan Island on the south
shore of Long Island in Nassau
county.
Every available doctor in the
area was called to the arene.
More than 50 responded and re
layed the injured into nearly a
acore of ambulances for transfer to
hospitals in and around Rockville
Centre.
Arm Cut Off
One doctor cut off a man's man-
Sled arm to get him out of the
ebris.
Another sawed off both legs of a
trapped Negro passenger.
Many of the victims screamed
and prayed in pain and fright.
Others lay dead, twisted like rsg
dolls, their bodies broken in the
split-second impact of grinding
steel.
"Kill me. plesse kill me," one
nun pleaded to rescuers.
Another women, tons of metal
crushing her chest, screamed:
"Get the weight off me."
A white-faced, heart-sick rescue
worker looked up at newsmen and
gritted through clenched teeth:
"We're not taking out bodies,
we're taking out parts of bodies "
Floodlights played on the wreck
age as rescue workers used acrtv
lene torches, axes and crowbars to
pry into the twisted cosches of the
two 10-car electric trains.
Wreckers Used
Finally, railroad wreckers bull
dozed their way in to jerk a part
the lead coaches so the hunt for
bodies could go on.
A little white stucco Negro
church stood a few feet from the
scene. First bodies recovered were
laid on its lawn.
Then the pitiful row of corpses
began to grow. So the interior of
the church was converted into a
morgue and the remains moved
inside.
Normally, the Long Island oper
ates a two-track line through Rock
ville Centre for its trains between
New York and Babylon, L. I.
But for months, a grade sepsta
tlon project has been underway to
elevate the tracks thrmmh R nc lr.
ville Centre. So trains have been
operating on a temporary one-track
line.
State public service Commis
sioner George A. Arkwright said
that one-way operations were
normsl procedure during a grade
separation job.
An eastbound passenger train out
of New York City was supposed to
hold up on a siding until a west
bound train from Babylon cleared
it on the main line.
The eastbound train failed to hold
back.
'Guests' At County Jail
Hit New Low Of Eleven
The Douglss county jsil has
reached a new low.
For the first time since 194S,
there are only 11 "guests" of the
county residing in the cell block, it
was revealed by Deputy Sheriff
Bill Kissinger, jailer.
Prior to 1946, the number of pris
oners averaged from eight to 10
daily, but the increase In the coun
ty population and the proportion
ate increase of violations and oi
fenses hss boosted the totsl num
ber to as high as 52 prisoners at
one time. That's how many were in
at one time in November 14.
Two possible explanations for the
depleted jail population were offer
ed hy Kissinger: (1) recent bad
weather has kept potential viola
tors indoors snd !2) quick disposi
tion of felons to the stste peniten
tiary. A third of the population of Eu
rope was wiped ont hy the "black
death".

he said.

He burned out seven living and

'Responsibilities'
DETROIT, Feb. IS UP)
Leading Protestanta from across
the nation today began a full con.
ferenre discussion of Christian re
sponsibilities in economic life to
take home to their churches.
Delegates meeting under the
sponsorship of the Federal Coun
cil of the Churches of Christ in
America put finishing touches
on preliminary recommendationa
which will bo acted on over the
weekend.
Yesterday i discussion group on
' freedom of enterprise and social
controls" voted thst "extensive uso
of taxation to reduce inequalities
in income is desirable from a
christian and an economic stand
point." The group, headed by Victor G
Reuther, a Methodist who is educa
tional director of the CIO United
Automobile Workers, alsot appro
ved a statement that "it is a
responsibility of a Christian socie
ty to assure all people, without
discrimination, full accesa to mod
ern medical care and other health
services."
Reuther ruled out discussion on
the Truman administration health
program and other specific pro
posals on grounds that conference
procedure called only for deciding
areas of responsibility.
The council's first economic par
ley at Pittsburgh in 1947 conclud
ed that churchea have a duty to
take an active interest in economic
affairs.
Panela on American and world

from the one he sent out a week
ago. That work order was ignored
by 370,000 striking soft coal min
ers. Cole was less optimistic about
the course of negotiations than
about renewal of coal output.
Mr. Truman was told, he said,
that the issues "have been some
what narrowed, but there is still
quite a distance to go."
The indication after the White
House meeting was that govern
ment action will be postponed un

mine operators face federal Dis
trict Judge Richmond B. Keech
in a hearing to determine whether
his temporary stop-strike order
should be changed into an 80-day
Taft-Hartley injunction.
Lewis' message to the coal fields
last night told the miners to get
back to work "forthwith." 1
