NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Nov.
14.-Secretary Of the Interior Ickes

gers who narrowly escaped serious
injury yesterday when derailment
OF car truck brought their train
to halt on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Rritan River Bridge.
The accident occurred shortly
after 4 pm. on a special Washing
ton-to-Boston run of the Senator
Express when the front truck Of a
carriage four cars ahead of the one
In which Mr.. Ickes was riding left
the rails and was dragged for a mile
with Its wheels OF the tracks.
Local railroad officials said more
serious consequences were averted
by the fact that the truck was kept
In line first by blowing along the
edge Of the station platform at
New Brunswick, where five persons
were slightly injured, and then by
the guard rail of q street overpass
just before the Raritan Bridge. A
foot OF the platform edge was
sheared of for its entire length and
the guard rail was badly smashed.
None of the passengers, including
several railroad oficials on board
for the special run, was reported in
jured, although most OF the outer
windowpanes of the derailed 3 car
were broken by gravel ricocheting
from the truck wheels running
alongside the track.
Mr. Ickes, interviewed In his train
drawing room after the express had
stopped ut the bridge, was unaware
Of the accident He said he was on
his way to New York.
Although the first cars of the train
were unhitched and proceeded to
New York, the Secretary and others
behind the 10th car, which was the
one derailed, had to wait and hour
and a half until their section was
brought back to New Brunswick be-
fore continuing on another track.

els in Paris Going :
Without Cigarettes;
No Rationing Here

Washington smokers complaining
of difficulty in buying their favorite
brand Of cigarettes were better on
than soldiers In Paris, where Amer
lean enlisted men are getting no
cigarettes at all this week.
An Associated report on the short
age of cigarettes in the European
war theater conceded with dis
closure by War Food Administra-
ton Official that domestic rationing
of cigarettes is not being considered
because of difficulties in administer
ing a fair ration plan.
While enlisted men in Paris were
informed no cigarettes were avail
able for them this week, the weekly
ration at post exchanges for officers
there was cut to five packs and SOL
diers At some sectors Of the front
were reported getting only two
packs q week.
Blamed on Transport Problem.
The shortage in Paris was pre-
sumed to be due to dimculties Of
transport and supply rather than
any lack Of cigarettes available to
the Army generally. On1cers' post
exchange rations in the European
and Mediterranean theaters have
varied from four to eight packages
week for months.
The Associated Press reported that
American cigarettes, diverted from
Army supplies, still were available
on the black market in Paris at
$3.50 package and the price was
rising. The black market supply
was believed to come chiefly from
smoking American soldiers who
traded their ration.
American civilians connected with
official missions in Paris and other
posts abroad still could obtain all
the cigarettes they wanted by order
ing them directly from the factories
here.
In Washington, smokers could buy
one or two packages of cigarettes 1T
a time. when they could flnd q to-
bacco dealer with supply on hand,
and by shopping around" generally
could obtain their normal supply Of
cigarettes of some kind, even If not
their favorite brand.
No Relief in Sight.
The VIA officials said the do
nestle supply for civilians is ex-
pected to continue tight" for some
time. 800 ~
He declared rationing would be
impractical, because not all adults
sroke, and Of those who do, some
smoke much more than others. Thus
it would be difficult to work out an
equitable distribution plan. Heavy
smokers who had nonsmoking or
light-smoking friends would be able
to obtain excess coupons from them.
His comment followed an asser-
ton yesterday by Willard D. Camp
bell, chief enforcement attorney for
the Once of Price Administration in
the Central Ohio district, that Gig
arctic rationing would be a good
thing" because some dealers now
were showing favoritism to pre-
ferred customers.
Price Administrator Chester
Bowles is expected to issue q state
ment later on the cigarette situa-
ton, but 1t was indicated that he
would agree rationing Is not prac-
tical.

LACK OF JAPANESE

RED FLEET PAPER

MOSCOW, Dec. 26. - (P) - The
Soviet Navy newspaper Red Fleet
in a study of American BIG opera
tons against Japan expressed
amazement today at the weakness
of Japanese ground defenses.
Both sides arc very reserved in
publishing de-al]s of operations and
results" the newspaper said. Obi
rect hits possibly are not very
numerous because the flights are
made at night OF at extremely high
attitudes in the daytime.
However, it is impossible to un-
derstand or explain the weak anti
aircraft defense of the Japanese.
Is this due to a deficiency in per-
sonnet or technique, or is it jap
anese desire to conceal their. anti
aircraft defense system?
The American super-long-range
bombers now are Systematically
reducing the military potential of
the japanese, disorganizing the life
of the people and diverting a part
and no smal part-of the Japa-
nese armed forces to defense of
vital centers and adjacent areas"
