Lin Yutong, Roy w. Howard,
Mrs. Hurley Unhurt in Wreck
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 7-Sev-
eral notable persons were aboard the
Pennsylvania Railroads Congress
sional Limited when it was wrecked
here last night.
They included Roy Howard, presi-
dent of the New York World-Tele-
gram, and Mrs Howard; DR.. Lin
Yutang, the author, his wife and
three children Mrs. Patrick J.
Hurley, wife of the former Secretary
of War who now is brigadier gen.
eral; Mrs. Myron c. Taylor, wife of
the former president of the United
States Steel Corp. and President
Roosevelt's personal ambassador to
the Vatican, and Lee Tracy, produc-
ton manager of the New York Mir
ror. None was reported injured.
Mr.. and Mrs. Howard were in the
1lth car from the locomotive.
Il knew it was a wreck and I
pushed my wife to the floor believ-
ing she would be safest there if the
car turned over" Mr.. Howard said.
Il lay down on the floor, too.
Fortunately, the car did not over
turn and we were not hurt. I took
my time, and as soon as I was
able left the train and tele-
phoned the story of the wreck to
New York"
Mr.. Howard said he had seen DR..
Lin and his family board the train
in Washington. After the wreck
he found them unhurt.
Mr.. Tracy was on the 10th car.
THE car started to jerk and began
bouncing down the rails" he said.
Il saw many people fall from their
seats into the aisles. Some were
moaning, but did not seem to be
hurt seriously"
I'VE were lucky to be in one of
the cars that was not overturned"
said DR.. Lin
A series of light jerks rocked his
car before it came to stop, DR..

Lin said, but no one in the car
was thrown from his seat.
After he had helped his family
from the car, DR., Lin said, he went
up ahead and saw "a scene of hor-
ror."'
Bodies were crushed beneath the
wreckage," he said. Others had
been pulled out and laid beside the
tracks. But no one paid any at
tention to The dead. They were try
ing to help the injured trapped in
side. Children were screaming for
their relatives" he said.
DR.. Lin said 'the ambulances came
soon, and within an hour all the
Stretcher cases had been cared for"
He described as slow jolt" the
final shock before his car came to
stop. He said he did not hear any
loud noise. The cars in front were
jammed in "zig-zag fashion," he
added. ,-..

FIVE FROM D. C. AREA killed.

wreck. Page Ala
By CARTER BROOKE JONES,
Star Staff Correspondent.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. Every
one about her in the shattered coach
was dead when it finally crashed to
a stop.
Mrs. Arie Gholston of Washington
and New York. employe of the Post
Office Department and wife of
former high official of the Interior
Department, told the story today in
Northeastern Hospital, where she
was recovering from severe injuries
received last night when the
Pennsylvania Railroads Congress
sional Limited train was wrecked at
Frankford Junction in Philadelphia.
Mrs. Gholson, recovering con-
sciousness amid the debris of the
coach, wondered for a moment If
she were alive. Then she heard a
mans voice say:
This woman is the only one alive.
Let's get her out"
Mrs. Gholston at the same time
felt stabbing pain in her right
leg and realized she was bleeding
from deep cash. She also had
head injury and numerous bruises.
but today her condition was pro-
nounced good"
The young woman was on her way
to New York on business for the
Post Office Department.
Il was reading book on philos-
ophy," she recalled. Il was think
ing about nothing except what I
was reading Suddenly it seemed
to me as if the train were flying.
Then there were bumps and 1
realized We were off the track. There
were sounds of grinding and
crashes, and I lost consciousness
The next thing I knew l was lying
in all aisle and I was aware that the
coach had been smashed at both
ends and that the roof also had
fallen in.
There were people, men and
women, sprawled about me and I
tried to speak to them and all at
once realized they we're all dead.
Four or five men got me out of the
coach and into an ambulance, where
again was oblivious to everything
until reached the hospital.
Il felt so terrible I didn't much
care what happened to me-"
But today Mrs. Gholston smiled
cheerfully and the doctor said she
was getting along nicely.
Mrs. Gholston. who has a home
at 2525 Ontario avenue NV, in
Washington, spends a great deal OF
time in New York for the Post Office
Department, making frequent trips
between the two cities. She is a
native of Florida.

Maj. Buck Bilby of the Black

he was barely able to blow up his

decision to declare Rome an open
city and has been waiting to know
the circumstances in which this
declaration would be accepted.
I'm view of the repetition of the
air raids on Rome, the center of the
Catholic world, the Italian govern
ment has decided formally and pub
licly to declare Rome an open city
without further delay and the Ital-
ian government is taking the neces-
sary steps according to interna-
tional law"
A version of the announcement
broadcast by the Berlin radio said
the necessary steps" already had
been taken but other versions did
not support this.
Paris Was Precedent.
There was no indication whether
the Italians first had consulted their
German allies on the far-reaching
step.
Similar action has been taken for
only five cities in this war. Paris
was declared an open city-that is,
undefended-in June 13, 1910, and
the Germans marched into the
French capital the next day.
Manila was declared an open city
by Gen. Douglas Macarthur on
December 26, 1941, but that did not
save the capital of the Philippines
from severe bombings even after all
military forces and installations had
been removed to Bataan.
A few days before the German at
tack on Yugoslavia, the Yugoslav
government designated Belgrade
Zagreb and Liubljana as open cities.
These cities were not spared by the
Nazis in the blitz that rolled over
the country in April, 1941.
The sensational development
came only little over "a hours
after American planes from North
Africa had struck their second de-
vastating blow at Rome's railway
yards in less than a month.
1900 Tons Dropped.
Allied headquarters in North
Africa said today that approximately
1000 tons of bombs had been hurled
on the city's targets in the two raids
and that only five planes had been
lost in the two attacks-less than
half of ! per cent of the raiding
forces.
The first attack on July 49, in
which 500 bombers and 200 fighters
took part, has been described by
Allied airmen as one of the most
decisive blows ever struck by air
power.
Huge areas of the Lorenzo and
Littorio railway yards and the Lit
torio airdrome just outside Rome
were torn up in the first attack, and
Allied headquarters today said three
more main lines through the Lit
torio yards had been blocked by
the second assault.
Reconnaissance Shove little
effort apparently had been made to
repair the damage.
Church Was Damaged.
In the first attack a bomb
damaged the church of San Lorenzo.
On July "a, the Vatican City radio
contradicted Axis reports that the
Pope had protested to President
Roosevelt. After deploring viola
ton of cultural monuments" the
