A NkhoVs Vorth of . . . Comment On By HARMAN United Pre" Washington U.R) Not all of the coppers in the country run around dressed in blue, with badges on their chests. Take the un sung heroes of the railroad police. H. S. Dew hurst, sec retary of the Protective Sec- tinn nf th As- i ; 1 A teidtitA s o c i a tion of Harman NichoU the Railroads, allows that the largest privately supported police organization in the world are the cops on the railroads; in fact, the outfit is bigger than the FBI, which is paid for by us taxpayers. Over 400 railroads use these riders of the rails and they op erate in over 1000 cities. They .catch a lot of people who think they can get away with some thing. According to Bill Farley, president of the Association of American Railroads, these are the facts: Before 1920, losses from thefts of goods were costing the rail roads nearly $15,000,000 a year. That total has shrunk sharply in recent years. Take Litile Things And what do thieves go for on the railroads? That adds up to about every thing that can be hauled away, Cigarettes, cigars and small truck. Mostly because these things don't weigh much and can be carted off without much trouble in stations and from the trains. In ,1922, thefts of these things cost the railroads $838, 409, but in 1954 these losses were cut to around $41,000. The railroad police are all over. And they know how to spot a con man' or woman. Ac- cording to Dewhurst, the crooks operate on a pattern easily spotted. "There is something about their manner, and their dress that we can spot. Seems like somehow these folks look a little guilty. We watch 'em. They'll pick up a bag, but maybe look around before they do it. Or they will look over their shoulders beforethey dig into a locker that we know never was locked by the owner of the bags."

NICHOLS fut"" tift railroad police are always on the alert. A senator or a repre sentative can be as careless about his luggage as a scrub woman, and some of the lawmakers are more so. According to the railroad po lice some time ago a prominent Democratic senator set his gear down and went over to pick up his Pullman ticket. A lady travel er with a babe in arms had the same idea. She held the baby but set her duffle down. The satchels looked alike. When the senator arrived in New York and opened his bag, it contained some diapers and bottle of milk. The mother found nothing but a speech about elec tronics, which she could not understand. Mama and senator wound up at the same counter, asking for the railroad police. Turned out both were from the same state. They met, exchanged suitcases. And that year the lady voted Democrat, changing gears. Blast in Cargo Hold of Airliner Blamed for Crash Denver -(U.PJ A "bomb-type" explosion shattered a cargo hold in a United Air Lines DC-6B which crashed a week ago, kill ing 44 persons, two Civil Aero nautics Board officials said to day. James N. Peyton, investiga tion chief for the CAB in Wash ington, said an intensive exami nation of the wreckage which is spread over three square miles near Longmont, Colo. has shown definite evidence of an explosion. The No. 4 baggage hold was "shattered," Peyton said. Luggage which had been in the No. 4 compartment smelled '"like gunpowder, or an explod ing firecracker," and this same smell was detected on other parts of thew reckage, the CAB investigation chief said. No Evidence of Bomb Jack Parshall, the CAB re gional investigator from Kansas City, said Monday that "we have no evidence that there was any kind of bomb explosion. "We are not far enough along to say what kind of explosion it was," Parshall said. Parshall also said Monday that "no evidence" had been found of an explosion in the No. 4 cargo hold. His statements were made in reference to a report published in American Aviation Daily, a trade paper, that crash investi gators had discovered definite evidence of a bomb-like explo sion in a cargo compartment. But after Peyton revealed that the American Aviation Daily re port was correct, Parshall told United Press: Must Await Reports "I'll have to say that Mr. Pey ton s statements are correct. wasn't at liberty before this to say how much we had found, and we still must await the FBI laboratory reports on the items we have sent them before we can be more definite." Peyton also said, "There has still been no evidence of mal function (mechanical failure in the plane), and the rumors of metal fatigue being responsible for the accident are not true." Oldest Civil War Veteran Reaches 113 Houston, Tex. (U.R) The oldest surviving veteran of the war between the states, "a Con federate naturally," rocked away in a new rocking chair today and accepted the good wishes of friend and former en emy. Walter Williams, who will be 113 years old on Nov. 14, joined his family in a pre-birthday cele bration in Houston Sunday. Among the many greetings that came his way was one from Albert Woolson, 108, of Duluth. Minn., only surviving member of the Union Army.

The National Automatic Mer chandising association showed why today at its annual conven tion. In five years, leaders of the industry expect that the dollar volume of goods pouring from vending machines will double. Right now, nickels, dimes and quarters can buy a complete dinner on an assembly line basis. You choose your menu by dron ing coins and pulling levers. Out can come chicken soup, baked beans, spaghetti, a ham sand wich, cottage cheese salad, milk, coffee or a soft drink, and cook ies or cakes and ice cream for dessert. In Germany there's a vending machine for saving money. The depositor puts the coins in the machine and has a deposit record automatically stamped in return. Cambridge Students Hear Billy Graham Cambridge, England U.R) Some 2,000 undergraduates of Cambridge University flocked to hear evangelist Billy Graham Sunday and 160 of them stayed afterwards to talk about making decisions for Christ. Graham, who will be here all week, plans to address thousands of other British students throughout the nation by means of special telephone networks. On Thursday night, he expects to be able to address students at 15 different universities sim ultaneously.

"We don't want people to think it is supposed to look like a stack of records," reported Glenn Wallichs, president of Cap itol Records. "There's no connection. The architect suggested it because a round building is more efficient, with 85 per cent usable floor space. "At first I didn't like it. The sketches reminded me of the World's Fair building in New York in 1939." One lunch counter" here is shaped like a hot dog. One of the Brown Derby restaurants re mains shaped like its name. But other buildings in the design of doughnuts, fat men, cats and pigs have vanished. Landmark Someday "Our round building will last to become a landmark, like the Empire State Building is to New York and the Eiffel Tower is to Paris," said Wallichs. The $2,000,000 13-story build ings is a concrete-and-glass cylin der supported by two rows of columns. The first floor of the cylinder is smaller in diameter than the others to give the illu sion the buildings is floating. There'll be a marble foyer, roof terraces for employees' meals and pipe-in music (their own, of course) in every office.
