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.

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."

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

federate naturally," rocked

emy. Walter Williams, who will be

his family in a pre-birthday cele
bration in Houston Sunday.
Among the many greetings

Small Change Buys
Complete Dinner
Chicago !(U.R) A fistful of
small change is becoming indis
pensable in this age of automa
tion. 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. When You

girls in a round building."
"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.
