Brothers Admit
Switch Tampering
Winnipeg, Manitoba OP)
Two young brothers admitted
Monday 1hey tampered with a
track switch, resulting in a train
derailment that injured 86 per
sons. The brothers, 7 and 9, were
questioned after reports that
two boys had been seen near the
switch just before the pileup of
the 22-car train at a siding at
Nourse, 36 miles east of here
Sunday.
Sixteen cars of the Canadian
National Railways Continental,
bound from Montreal to Van
couver, were derailed after the
two-unit diesel and the mail car
passed over an open switch. The
subsequent vibration apparently
caused the switch to turn, send
ing the rest of the cars onto the
siding.
Thirty of the injured required
hospitalization. Five persons
were seriously injured.
A spokesman for the railway
said the boys apparently lifted
the handle cf the switch but did
not turn it to direct the train
onto the siding.

Right of Military
To Claim Air Space
Vetoed by CAB
Washington OP The Civil
Aeronautics Board today vetoed
the right of the military to de
clare vast areas of air space off
limits to commercial planes.
In a drastic step the CAB said
it intends to give the Civil Aero
nautics Administration virtually
complete authority over the na
tion's dwindling airspace.
The CAA normally controls
only civilian air traffic. The
CAB has overall authority over
military and civilian planes trav
eling in the United States.
Military Spanked
Intervening in the battle be
tween military and civilian avia
tion officials over the use of air-
lanes, the CAB verbally spanked
the military for encroaching on
civilian air routes unnecessarily
and without legal authority.
The CAB's proposed order
points out that ' present regula
tions allow the military to keep
civilian planes only out of areas
deemed necessary for the na
tion's defense.
Comments Invited
"It was never intended that
this section would be used to jus
tify non-compliance with air
traffic rules in such operations
as continuing training activi
ties," the CAB declared.
The board invited comments
on its proposed new rules with
in the next 30 days.
The CAB said its amended
rules would require the military
to get approval from the CAA
administrator before declaring
any air space restricted except
in emergency cases involving ac
tual defense of the country from
attack.
More than one-half the people
of the U. S. have pronounced
vision defects.
