pany said it was possible that

in northeast Philadelphia, when
the accident occurred at 6:12

on the front of the seventh car
of the 16-car train, burning the

The coach, hurtled into a
steel pole supporting overhead
power lines, was cut in two
vertically as though by a giant
axe. The coach behind jammed
accordion-like against it Six
other- cars behind them were
th-own from the rails, but all
the dead and most of the in-
ji d were in the seventh and
eighth coaches.
Passengers were buried under
the debris from which many of
the living were not released
until hours later. Some were
thrown through windows: gal
ley workers in the diner were
scalded. One woman lay in the
wreckage for six hours, calmly
telling rescuers 'Take your

Robert Calvert, of Birming

fighting in North Africa, who
was walking in the aisle of the
third car, said something hit
bim in the stomach and
"It seemed a million people
were on top of me. I couldn't
get my breath. I thought This
is it. I will die; now'." V
Roy Howard, president of the
New York World-Telegram, and
his wife, and Lin Yutang, the
Chinese author, were on the
train but escaped injury.
Mr. and Mrs. Howard were
in the 11th car from the loco
motive. "I knew it was a wreck and
I pushed my wife to the floor,
believing she would be safest
there if the car turned over,"
Howard said. "I lay down on
the floor too.
"Fortunately, the car did not
overturn and we were not hurt
I took my time, and as soon as
I was able I left the train and
telephoned the story of the
wreck to New York."
Howard said he had seen Dr.
Lin and his family board the
train in Washington. After the
wreck he found them unhurt.

Close Trap
Capture of the airfield effec
tively helped close the trap on
the defenders of Lao and Sala
mnua. The ' paratroopers landed on
three sides of the Japanese air
drome, guided by three smoke
screens which outlined the field
perfectly.
As soon as the paratroops
landed, the Australian ground
force started to cross the near
by .Markham river by means
of a pontoon bridge. Other Aus
sies floated down the river in
assault boats to the site of the
field.
. . Join Australians
First Lt. Monte Kleban, San
Antonio, Tex., who jumped
with the paratroopers, said the
Australian ground force which
had scoured swamps for enemy
detachments during its five-day
march, joined the . airborne
troops several hours alter tney
had landed.
"We saw one another at the
same moment," said Klebans,
an assistant public relations of
ficer in MacArthur's command
"With gleeful shouts the Aus
tralians and Americans ran to
wards one another. These
strangers hugged and embraced
like long-lost brothers."
The allied meeting closed the
ring about the imperiled Japa'
nese.
Scattering Fira
Enemy resistance at the air
drome was confined to a scat
tering of fire from a patrol of
30 enemy troops, according to
field reports. Inere was no in
dication whether the Japanese
patrol had been killed, captured
or made good its escape in the
jungle.
The Australian ground force
which met American paratroop
ers apparently was of some
size, lield dispatches said that
600 native bearers formed a
train to carry supplies 65 miles
over swamps, rivers and jungle
country (from an advanced al
lied - base. Australian troops
making up this contingent were
veterans of the Crete and Cor
inth campaigns.
