Berserk Trainman
Killed in Cab
Portland, Sept. 30 lUi A ber
serk railroad brakeman, using
lighted signal flares and a ham
mer as weapons, attacked the en
gine crew of a speeding freight
train today and was killed during
a desperate struggle In the loco
motive cab.
Kenneth W. Hopkins, 35, Port
land, died at the Salem, Ore., hos
pital of injuries inflicted by fel
low crewmen as they were fight
ing for their lives.
Hopkins boarded the Portland-'
bound train at Eugene, and told
Engineer Brent W. Campbell, 58,
Portland, and Fireman Ben J.
Mackowlak, 2-1, Portland, that he
was having "family trouble" and
didn't feel well.
At Junction City, Hopkins In
explicably flagged down a fast
passenger train. Then he lighted
several signal flares, waved them
about, and then threw them away,
according to the story Campbell
and Macklowiak told rellroad
ngents.
Throttle Pulled Oikmi
At Salem, Hopkins reached over
Campbell s shoulder, without
warning- and pulled the throttle
out full length. Then he jabbed
a lighted flare into Campbell s
side. Campbell braked the train
to a quick slop.
Campbell said he turned to
race Hopkins and Hopkins thrust
a lighted flare Into one eye, his
neck and abdomen. Hopkins
grabbed a hammer and began hit
ting Campbell. MacRowInk tried
to stop the attack nnd Hopkins
bent him on the head.
Campbell grabbed the hammer
nnd struck Hopkins several times
on the head. Hopkins deliberately
thrust his left hnnd In the firebox,
burning It seriously. Macklowiak
culled Salem police, who took Hop
kins to the hospital.
Tho train was n Southern Pit
clflc through freight en rout?
from Snn Francisco to Portland.
The eerie fight raged In the pre
dnwn darkness nnd renched Its
climax nt the Madison street
crossing near the Marlon county
fairgrounds north of Salem.
When Salem police arrived they
found the train stopped nnd Hop
kins sprawled on the deck of the
engine. The cab wns spattered
with blood nnd the clothes of the
crewmen were bloody.
Cnmpbell told Salem police thnt
Hopkins hnd "gone berserk."
"We hnd to lay him out cold,"
Cnmpbell said.
Hopkins had been hit on the
bnck of the head. There was a
deep gash In his skull. He was
taken to the hospital but died
after his wife renched the bedside.

die miners to return to thel
Jobs Monday. It was the first
break In the 12-day coal strike.
The order applied to the 78,000
hard coal miners In noi fiwestern
Pennsylvania and 22.000 bitumin
ous miners in nine states wes
of the Mississippi.
The announcement was made
by UMW vice president Thomas
Kennedy as union negotiators re
sumed their contract talks at
White Sulphur Springs, W.Va.,
with northern and western soft
coal operators representing the
largest segment of miners still on
strike.
The strike, which was caused
by the stoppage of welfare fund
payments In both hard and soft
coal fields, already has cost ap
proximately 6,5000,000 tons of bit
uminous and more than 1,000,000
tons of anthracite.
"Sixvlal Problems"
Kennedy said the western soft
coal workers and the anthracite
miners were being ordered back
because of special problems that
did not affect the rest of the
Industry.
Both the western bituminous
output and anthracite are used
mostly for domestic heating pur
poses. Neither group had been
under the oixiered three-day work
week.
Kennedy, who halls from the
Pennsylvania anthracite bell, had
been under pressure from busi
ness and civic leaders In the area
where dwindling stocks forced
rationing and provoked fears of
loss of the hard coal market.
The return-to-work order, which
was sent by telegrams to all locals
In the affected areas, was signed
by UMW chief John L. Lewis, secretary-treasurer
John Owen and
Kennedy.
1 he nine western states in
which mining will be resumed are
Washington, Iowa, Kansas. Colo
rado, New Mexico, Oklahoma,
Montana, Wyoming and Utah.

'Scientist X'
Finally Named
By Committee
By George JC. Reedy Jr.
(tlniu-d I'm Staff Corraiwndent) '
Washington, Sept. 30 HH The
house un-American activities com
mittee today named Dr. Joseph
W. Weinberg, University of Min
nesota physics- professor, as the
"scientist X" who allegedly slip
ped wartime atomic secrets to a
communist agent.
In a formal report, the commit
tee recommended that the just
ice department prosecute Wein
berg on three counts of perjury.
The legislators said the youthful
scientist lied when he denied un
der oath:
1. That he knew Steve Nelson,
Moscow-trained communist agent
to whom in March, 1943, he alleg
edly gave a "formula of import
ance in the development of the
atom bomb.
2. That he knew Bernadette
Doyle, described as Nelson's sec
retary in 1943 when the latter was
communist party organizer in
Alameda county, California.
3. That he had never attended
meetings of the young communist
league In California or had been a
member of the communist party.
Report Made In 1948
Scientist X case was first
brought before the public in a
committee report issued on Sept.
28. 1948. At the time, Weinberg's
real name was withheld because
he denied the story and claimed
he could not recall meeting Nel

Flying Boxcar
Crashes, 2 Dead
McCleary, Wash., Sept. 30 til''
At- least two men were killed
when an air force C-82 "flying
boxcar" crashed and burned four
miles northeast of here, officers
said today.
Two bodies were recovered
from the wreckage. A third man
believed aboard the plane was
missing.
The plane, based at McChord
field, Wash., sheared off tree tops
for 1,000 feet before it crashed in
the densely wooded area on the
southern fringe of the Olympia
mountains.
A small brush fire was started
by flaming gasoline, but was pre
vented from spreading into a ma
jor forest fire.
One of the plane's motors
"conked out" while flying over
this town of 1,200 persons. The
pilot apparently attempted to
bring the craft In for a landing
on an unllghted emergency air
strip. Ambulnnces nnd nurses were
rushed from Shelton, Elma, and
McCleary.
Mrs. Kitty Drum reporter for
the McCleary Builder, a weekly
newspaper, said that army clean
up crews at the scene reported
they had found "parts of two
bodies."

Potato Harvest -Now
Under Way
In This Region
Harvest of the 1949 potato crop
was under way In central Oregon
counties this week end, but so far
picking work has been largely
scattered with the main harvest
expected to be started about Oc
tober 5, the middle of next week.
At present there appears to be a
sufficient number of pickers
available for the work, but the
situation may change when the
harvest moves into high gear, it
was stated.
The Oregon tate employment
office in Bend is cooperating with
farmers in supplying potato
pickers.
It was reported from Redmond
today that more than 1000 labor
ers have passed through the air
base potato labor office since it
opened Sept. 20. It was reported
from the Redmond office that the
call for pickers this week has
been slight. Growers have been
asked to notify the Redmond of
fice as soon as possible as to the
number of pickers they will need
when the harvest reaches Its peak,
probably between Oct. 3 and 8.
r rom Prineville today also
came information that it appears
harvest help this year will be ade-
qunte. Crook county schools will
not be dismissed this season to
permit children to assist in the
harvest.
Carlot shipments of potatoes
were reported rolling out of Frine-villc-
daily, mostly consigned for
California points. Up to yester
day shipments for the season
numbered 22 carloads.

His denial was in a letter to

at The Dalles
(UJi) President Truman in
executive's remarks was a testi
monial dinner ,for William
Boyle, new chairman of the
democratic national commit
tee. More than 3,000 dues-paying
civic citizens of Kansas
City paid $15 a plate to eat
with the president and most of
the members of the cabinet. The
public at large swelled the house
to more than 10,000 but without
the food and drink of the Boyle
testimonial.
Mr. Truman told about his "fair
deal" program and how it would
work for the general welfare of
the country. The program hasn't
been going exceptionally well in
congress.
Ultimatum Indicated
I have told the congress and
the leaders in the congress," he
said, "that we are going to fight
it out on that basts u it takes all
summer and winter, and all next
summer, too."
What sounded for all the world
like a bell-ringing campaign
speech brought cheers from the
crowd ringed about Mr. Truman's
dining table.
"Let's get to work," he said. "If
we do that, we will win with that
program in 1950, and we will win
with that program in 1952."
He also said he thought the
country needs "a free press."
In one portion of his speech,
Mr. Truman played a rather in

ben W. Barkley, a thorough going
native of Kentucky, who recently
has been courting Mrs. Carleton

Russia Reported Adamant
On Atom Control Proposal
Lake Success, New York, Sept.
30 (IB The western powers have
been unable to change Russia's
attitude on atomic control and the
"Big Six" powers are getting no
where on international regulation
of the A-bomb, a reliable source
said today.
Ambassador Warren R. Austin,
chief U.S. delegate to the UN,
appealed to the soviet to "take
a more realistic attitude" toward
the atom bomb problem after the
apparent "no progress" session
on nuclear control yesterday. It
was the first Big Six session on
atom control since President Tru
man's announcement of a Rus
sian atomic explosion.
Austin's statement was a bid
for a new Russian proposal to
break the three-year-old impasse
on the majority-backed plan of
fered by Bernard M. Baruch and
the plan which Russia insists can
be the only means of control.
The United States, Britain,
France, China and Canada want
outright UN control of atomic
activities, whereas Russia de

Port Orders
Halt to Cargo
Unloading
By Richard A. Utf In
(United CrM Staff Corrmpomlant)
The Dalles, Sept. 30 HP) CIO
longshoremen, claiming a clear
cut victory In tho "hot" Hawaiian
pineapple dispute, today called off
their strike against the port of
The Dalles in exchange for this
city's guarantee that no further
attempt will be made to unload
black-listed cargo from the toot
loose barge "Honolulu."
Farmers and cherry growers
who had organized a battalion of
volunteers to back up bayonet
carrying state police, expressed
"great indignation" at what they
described as the port commis
sion's "surrender" to Harry
Bridges international Longshore
men's & Warehousemen's' union
(CIO).
Circuit Judge Malcolm W. Wil
kinson meanwhile continued until
Monday a hearing on an anti-pick-eting
restraining order issued to
prevent further violence on this
Columbia river port -vaterfront. A
temporary order will remain In
effect.
Commission Stands Fast -Despite
community feeling
against "surrender," the port
commission stood fast by its deci
sion to get rid of the exiled barge
to avoid bloodshed. i
Matt Meehan, representative of .
the I.L.W.U., said he had inform
ed the railroad brotherhoods that
they can now take freight cars in
and out of the dock area.
"I've got a report that more
pineapple barges are headed for
Oregon," Meehan' said. "I've got
to see the governor about this.
Meehan planned to confer with
Gov. Douglas McKay at 3 p.m. '
Wheat farmer Leonard Kelly,
who had formed a volunteer force
of ranchers and ranch hands as a
reserve police squad, said his
group was "angry" at the port
commission's decision.
A businessman stopped George
Lindsay, editor of the weekly Op
timist, on the street today and
said:
"I'll go get Chamberlain's um
brella and you can give it to the
port commission."
Grand Jury May Act
There was no Indication when
the barge would be taken away
from The Dalles or where It'
would go when it left. The port
commission called on District at
torney Donald Helsler to direct n
grand jury investigation of Wed
nesday's violence and take appro
priate action.
The Dalles port commission
asked the Hawaiian Pineapple
company to move the barge as
soon as possible to prevent a re
currence of violence that occur
red when non-union longshore
men attempted to unload it Wed
nesday. The longshoremen have sought
to prevent the unloading because
the pineapple was cut and loaded
by non-union men in Honolulu,
where the longshore union has
been on strike for five months.
The barge was sent to the west
coast in an effort by Hawaiian
pineapple Interests to breach the
longshore "blockade." West coast
longshoremen have refused to
handle Hawaiian cargo, except
for certain relief ships.
Matt Meehan, union official,
said he hoped Oregon ports "will
see no more of this barge and that
