AID. OPPONENT SAYS FARLEY IN TEXAS
They Approve Spirit but Not Method of Court
 Plan-Lend Comfort

AUSTIN, Tex, March 24.-James Farley today told joint session of the Texas Legislature that he thought Democratic opponents to the President court plan were not opposing the method but the spirit of the plan.
 "They are lending aid and com fort to the enemy by their present course" said the Postmaster Gen eral. T think they are making a grave error"
 Contrasting economic conditions now with those of 1883, Farley said, We would be much farther along the road to prosperity if the un- fortunate Supreme Court had not decided in its wisdom such things as that the AAA transcended in some mysterious way the power of Congress and therein violated the Constitution"

Clifford Tells
 of Rail Wreck
 Near Anchorage
Merchandise Broker Has All Thrills Minus Injury
 in Alaska Rail Mishap

"At first thought the train had just made an ordinary stop, but when I spotted the cars in the ditch knew better declared Earle Cliff ford this afternoon in describing the derailing of the Alaska Railroad train last week between Anchorage and Seward.
 MT. Clifford, general merchandise broker, who returned to his home here today aboard the steamer Mount Mckinley after seven weeks business trip through the Interior and to the Westward, was passenger aboard the train at the time of the accident.
 Luckily, the couplings between the derailed cars and the three pas senger coaches following them broke or the story might have been dif- ferent and far worse" MT. Clifford continued. "As it turned out, no one was injured, and there was very little excitement, even among the passengers, until we were on our way back to Anchorage four or five hours later" he stated.
 Rails Spread
 As MT. Clifford described the ac- cident, it was caused by the rails spreading over stretch of spongy ties. The locomotive had gotten across the dangerous stretch, but the two cars following, the baggage car and freight car, got the full benefit of the weakness of the track and rolled over, breaking their coup lings, onto the hillside bordering the edge of the track, and into an eight-foot ditch.
 At the time, the train was mov- ing only about fifteen miles an hour, which was fortunate, as the slow speed probably greatly diminished the consequences of the accident. The baggage man and mail clerk were in the cars that overturned, but were just thrown off their feet and not injured. The three cars at the rear of the train, all passeng- CT coaches, had not yet reached the bad spot, and when the couplings broke, remained upright on the track.
 ATS We'll
 A second locomotive was immed- lately called out from Anchorage, only about thirty-fiye miles away, and the passenger cars were drawn back to Anchorage for the night. By the next afternoon, the track had been cleared and fixed, with the overturned cars shored-up out of the way, and the train was able to go through from Anchorage to Seward only day late, and in time to connect with the Mount McKin- ley. Several other passengers on board the ship here today were also in the modified train wreck.
 On his way through the Interior, MT Clifford and J. J. Meherin trav- elled together, but -fr. Meherin re- turned to Juneau by plane from Fairbanks, while MT. Clifford made his way back by rail and snip.
