Commission BIames Malicious Act
For Southern Pacific Train Tragedy

The safety bureau said that an
examination of the track on the
curve where the wreck occurred
revealed indications that a joint
in the outside rail had been discon-
nected. the angle bars removed and
the end of q rail moved inward about
four and five eightS inches on the
tie.
The tie itself gave evidence that
the tie plate was misplaced. as the
outline of the original plate seat was
clearly defined and the condition
of the spike holes indicated fresh
and recent disturbance of the wood
fibre which would result from draw
ing a spike" the report said.
"A dent in the receiving end of
the misaligned rail at the top of the
ball on the south side indicated that
the rail had been struck by some
heavy object; this dent was so To-
Gated tlAt if the receiving rail were
moved inward about four and one
half inches tn flang of a wheel
would strike the END at that point. '
The bureau reported that angle
bars, bolts, nuts and tight-lock wash
erS were lying adjacent to the dis
connected rail. Apparently wrench
had been used to remove the nuts,
as none of the bolts was cut or
broken.

At Union S Behest

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. %. (UP)
Charges that waterfront employers
are violating the Sherman anti
trust laws by diverting ships from
the San Francisco Bay area, were
being investigated today by repre-
sentatives of Attorney General
Frank Murphys "trust-busting" di-
vision while they looked into similar
charges against shipping unions.
Charges against the striking ship
clerks association and their affiliate,
the International LongShoremen's
and WarehousemenS union, were
lodged with Attorney General Muir
ply week ago, in connection with
the waterfront tieup which has

When union leaders, headed by
Harry Bridges, CIO director for
California; Henry Schmidt and
Germaine Bulcke of the ILWU, and
Richard Gladstein, CIO counsel,
were called before Morris R. Clark,
representing Murphy, they told him
the waterfront employers also
should be investigated, with particu-
lar reference to their cooperation
with the Associated Farmers of Cal
ifornia.
Clark made no comment on the
session. but normal routine calls
for submission of a report to Muir

Communist Plans
In State Revealed
By Dies Committee

WASHINGTON. Dec. 90. (UP)-
The Dies committee today consider
ed making public its findings on
Communist activities in Hollywood
after releasing a report showing
that the California Communist par
tx emphasized organization of key
industries in its drive for members.
The committee made public doc
ument which it said was a record
of the proceedings of the California
convention of the Communist par
tv. Nav IA and Is, 1885, together
with a document labeled "resolu-
tions and proposals adopted at Los
Angeles county convention, March
27 and 28. 1887"
The repC IS, il said, were OBJ
tanned by the committees west coast
investigators, James Steedman ana
George hurley. and authenticated
as true reports of the Communist
party" in California for 1887 ana
1888.
The 1888 convention report listed
or the party's presiding committee
among other officials, a "comrade
Germanie" who. the committee SAID,
was Germaine Bulcke, chairman OF
the California State Game and Fish
commission.
Also on the presiding committee
was "comrade Don, who the COM
mittee said was Don Healy, presi-
dent of the California branch OF
labor's non partisan league, polltl-
cal affiliate of the Congress OF IN
dustrial Organizations.
The report showed the party. as
claiming 5000 members in Califor-
MIA. in 1898 and driving for 10000
in 1889. Steedman said he regarded
the figure as conservative, since
the report was a confidential one
prepared for Communist organizers.
A resolution said:
The convention therefore re-
emphasizes the importance Of con-
centrating on large shops and basic
industries Especially marine, rail-
road. rubber, aircraft, oil, auto, steel

cations in the large plants as the

In the Petsamo sector in the lar
north Russian troops were reported
to have begun digging trenches ano
this was taken to mean that they
had no present plans for resump-
ton OF attack. For the moment at
least, snow brought any offensive
operations to StandStlll.
The Firms were still prepared for
big Russian drive, particularly
one from the Salla sector with the
Gulf of Bothnia as the objective
Success in such an offensive would
cut Finland off from rail communi-
cation with Sweden.
Striking a balance after a month
of fighting, Finnish officers said
that they were holding their own
all along a 1900 mile front of snowy
country, largely lakes and forest
line about seven times as long as
the French Maginot or German
West Wall lines.
In New Attack
Russian threw an army estimated
at 100000 men at the western end
of the Finnish Mannerheim line IN
new attempt TO break through
and crush resistance.
Appearance of big squadronS Of
Russian planes over the front put
the Firms on the alert for possible
Russian attempt to land suicide
squads by parachute to blow up
vital bridges and cut communica-
tionS.
For three weeks the Russians had
driven vainly at the eastern end
of the Mannerheim line, on Lake
Ladoga, TO turn the Finnish left
wing.
Today, after a long bombardment
Of points all along the go mile Karel-
ian Isthmus front, the Russians
struck at the Firms right wing
The Firms right wing was an
chored to the Gulf of Finland. It
was flanked by the heavy coastal
batteries on Koivisto Island, some
with 10 inch guns. These guns could
be turned inland so as to enfilade
the Russian line in event of an
advance
knowledge that the guns were a
menace was the explanation for de-
terlnined efforts in recent days TO
knock out the island batteries. More
than 500 big air bombs had been
shoWered on the island so far with

them in position to exert pressure
upon administration sources TO
avert political appointment of new
fair board members within the next
two years, replacing those who have
guided destinies of the fair since
it was started. In the event OF a
showdown, it was pointed out, the
county could even take over the
fair grounds and operate its own
fair under setup sillilar to that
followed now.
No drastic move was contemplated
in the immediate future it was be-
lieved in view of Hulse's statement
that the action will not interfere
with the fair board as it is now
set up.
B. NJ. Graham, chairman of the
board of supervisors, pointed out
that at least six moves are open
to the county now that the 25-year
lease is cancelled:
|. The county may run the fair
2. Appoint someone else to do ii
for the county.
3. Create a county fair board
determining the number of members
and appointing them.
4. Enter into temporary permit
to let the 45th agricultural district
run the fair in 1910.
! 5. Appoint the present fair boarc
to run the fair.
6. Nail the fair grounds up anc
not have fairs.
Graham said he was convinced
the action of the two boards would
not affect the premium money votec
