AGENTS AND T TO LOSE WEALTH PEACE OFFICERS IN MEETING HERE AND CITIZENSHIP Bridge Expert Would Show Gratitude 'for Riches Re ceived by Entering Con gress. Ridgeficld, Conn., Aug. 1. (JP) Ely Culbertson, who has stopped playing bridge, has gone into politics with all the enthusiasm he ever gave to cards because: "The American people have handsomely supported, shower ed wealth upon me, and now I want to do something to ex press my gratitude, to serve them in congress and do what I can for them." So the "king ot orldge" is gunning or the Democratic nom i n a t i o n as Connecticut's congressman-at-1 arge. Party leaders haven't said yet what they think of hia candidacy. "They ask so much in Amer ica, 'Why don't some of these rich men get into politics and seek to better it?' Well, that's what I'd like to do to do some thing for the underdog," he says. Is Linguist Culbertson, born in Russia of an American father whose an cestry made him eligible to join the Sons of the American Revo lution, promises, If nominated, - to campaign in Ukrainian, French, Russian, German and Italia n all languages with 'which he Is familiar. Mr. and Mrs. Culbertson, di vorced but on extremely friend ly terms, occupy a 65-acre state here, he living In the man sion house and she in one of the six "cottages" (actually large residences) on the property. Their children, 12-year-old Joyce and 11-year-old Bruce, spend five months a year with their mother and the other seven with their father.

The freight train, northbound from Columbus, O., telescoped the fore end of the 122.000 pound coach, and shoved it back in its wake for 200 yards. Flames spurted from the win dows as its 250-Kullon gasoline tanks exploded. Firemen poured water into the coach. Then they and volunteers went about the sickening two-hour task of re moving bodies, many so burned that identification was difficult. Didn't Have Chance Coroner R. E. Amos, seeking to clear up the identifications, said the passengers "didn't have chance in the world" to escape. Eye witnesses related that flames enveloped the coach so fast thnt none of the passengers Berlin, Aug. 1. (P) (via Ra dio.) A long list of prominent Frenchmen, reading like pages from France's pre-armistice Who's Who, have been ordered deprived of their citizenship and their properties confiscat ed, the German wireless an nounced today. The list, the first since the Petain regime decreed action against those who left France "without valid reasons" between May 10 and June 30, included two members of the Interna tionally known Rothschild bank ing family. It was broadcast by the government station at Vichy and picked up here. The two Rothschilds were Baron Edouard, head of the French branch of the family's far-flung banking operations, and Baron Maurice, a member of the French senate. (Baron Maurice De Roths child arrived in Montreal this week with a cousin, Baron Robert De Roths child, the latter's wife and daughter, after having taken temporary refuge in Britain, Baron Edouard, his baroness and their daughter arrived In New York July 10 by Clipper plane. (Baron Maurice, described by fellow passengers as "nervous and shaken by his experiences, declined to comment today on the French government's ac tion.) Others on the list Included some of France's leading indus trialists, political leaders and Journalists. Train orders are transmitted by telephone on 148,211 miles of railroad in this country, and by telegraph on 86,709 miles of railroad. could escape. One man standing nearby said he heard no screams. Most of the passenger victims were residents of the Akron dis trict, although the coach, which shuttled the 12 miles from Hud son, O., to Akron, had picked up passengers at Hudson from the Pennsylvania's Cleveland-Pitts burgh line. It was the second big Ameri can railroad tragedy in four months. Thirty-one persons died in the wreck of the New Yorlc Central's Lake Shore limited at kittle Falls, N. Y.. ADril 19. Handling of Information and Complaints of Fifth Col umn Activity Arranged. Law enforcement officers of Jackson county met in the court house auditorium - yesterday afternoon with J. D. Swenson, special agent in charge of the Portland office of the federal bureau of Investigation, to com plete arrangements for expedi tious handling of information and complaints concerning mat ters affecting national defense and internal security. The conference was one of a series being held In a number of cities between representative of th F. B. I. and state, county and local police and sheriffs. Aid Needed In an F. B. I. news release ex plaining the purpose of the meetings, it was stated that the active assistance of police de partments, sheriffs' offices and state police organizations was needed by the F. B. I. in its work on violations of the fed eral espionage, sabotage and neutrality acts. The release said, further, that it is important that all infor mation relating to such matters be forwarded by private citizens as well as officials directly to the F. B. I. office in this area." Letters should be addressed to "special agent in charge, federal bureau of investigation, U. S. department of Justice, 411 U. S. courthouse, P. O. box 709, Port land, Oregon."

B. I., "char acterized a still further and closer relationship between the r. B. I. and local agencies of law enforcement with reference to the vital problems of national defense and internal security. The wholehearted pledges of co operation and splendid responses have been a source of gratifica tion to the F. B. I. and likwise should be to the citizens of this state. In due course arrange ments of this type will be com pleted with all law enforcement agencies of the country." A Reduced!
