VERA CRUZ, Mexico, April 7.-At
least 10 persons we're known dead to-
day and it was feared that perhaps
80 others also perished in the bombing
of a railway bridge near PaSo Del
Macho, which hurled the Vera Cruz
Mexico City night train into ravine,
a burning mass of wreckage.
Federal officials, who hastened to
the scene early today, directed the
work of extracting burned and twisted
bodies from the wreckage at the bot
ravine.
No foreigners we're believed to be
among the victims The bombing was
unoffioially attributed to rebel group.
A telegram from a Western Union
nnesman at Paso del Macho said the
bomb exploded on the bridge, 3 miles
west of there, and that two Pullmans
went through the bridge and caught
fire.
"All passengers in those PullmanS,
apparently about 40, we're carbonized," !"
he reported. The engineer also was
burned to death.
''One first-class car also fell into
the ravine, but apparently all pas
sengers escaped"

had been recovered by 10 am. Manuel
Hernandez, superintendent of the Vera

A wrecking train left Vera Cruz to

the crew were killed.

S|SSON BILL WINS
HOUSE GROUP VOTE
Subcommittee Orders Fa-
vorabIe Report to Full
District Body.
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

The Education Subcommittee of the
House District Committee ordered a
favorable report today on the Sisson
bill for outright repeal of the widely
discussed red rider" to the 1896 Dis
trict appropriation act, which banned
the teaching of communism in the
public schools.
The subcommittee action. taken in
executive session, marked the meas
ure's first step toward the House
calendar and an inevitable bitter fight
on the floor between liberal and con-
servative factions.
Chairman Kennedy of the subcom-
mlttee, which has had the bill under
consideration for more than a month
announced he would make report to
the full District Committee at its reg
ular meeting tomorrow at 10:30 am.
At that time, he said, he also would
make statement.
In the meantime, however, members
of the subcommittee agreed to remain
silent regarding their discussions be-
hind closed doors. All members Of
the subcommittee, with exception of
Representative Jenckes, Democrat, of
Indiana. a vigorous opponent of the
Sisson bill. attended the executive
meeting. In addition to Chairman
Kennedy. they are Representatives
Schultz, Democrat, of Indiana and
Short. Republican, of Missouri.
Confirmation Predicted.
Chairman Norton of the District
Committee predicted the subcommit-
tees action would be confirmed to-
morrow by the full committee and the
bill placed on the House calendar in
time for consideration Monday, the
next so-called District day" 1t is
not expected to be called up, how
ever, until April 81, the final District
day" of the month, because the House
probably will devote Monday to dis
position of the controversial Ellen
bogen bill to revive the wartime Rent
Commission.
Public hearings on the SiSson bill
were concluded by the subcommittee
about three weeks ago. Its plans to
act on the measure last week were
delayed, however. by Representative
Jenckes, who left Washington with the
official stenographic transcript of the
hearings in her possession. She has
not yet returned the transcript, despite
a telegraphic plea from Kennedy.
Arguments Known.
According to Kennedy, it was not
necessary. however. for the subcom-
mittee to have the transcript when it
passed on the bill, because nearly all
members attended the hearings regu-
Iarly, and are familiar with the argu-
ments made by both opponents and
