Gorham, N H., Aug. 12-CUPD- A Sl,0o0 reward was offered today for information leading to the ar rest of any person who might have tempered with railroad flat car which later hurled down the Mount Washington Cog Railway and crash ed into an ascending passenger train.
 Twenty-four persons were injured in the crash which occurred late Saturday and a preliminary report said the fiat cars safety devices were released either as prank or through curiosity
 The fiat car, loaded with junk, raced down the incline and rammed the passenger train as it halted 600 feet from the top of the 6,293 foot mountain. The accident was re- ported by conductor, Chester Beattie of Medford. who fought his way through furious gale and electric storm to the summit.
 From there doctors were called and the victims were removed to Gorham and Berlin hospitals by ambulances which required hours to negotiate the curvy. dirt road to the peak.
 It was believed an 85-mile-an- hour wind might have started the fiat car on it's downward journey. Arthur F. Teague superintendent of the one-track line used by White Mountain vacationists, offered the reward after reporting the car had been inspected two days previously and that everything was found to be in order"

 Of Reds Into Top
 Posts Revealed

Pittsburgh, Aug. 12 - (UP) - An all-out drive to purge the CI.O United Electrical Workers Union of headed by International Vice-Pres- ident Harry Block of Philadelphia.
 Block who heads the faction known as "U.E. Members for Dem ocratic Action" charged the Com munists with attempting to make the union "a vehicle to advance the foreign policy of the Soviet Union.
 He said the Members for Demo- cratic Action" represent the major ity of n-Communists in the union and will push it's fight to oust the Communists at the national con- vention in Milwaukee Sept. g.
 Principle Stated
 Blocks faction completed a tWo- day convention here yesterday and in statement of principles issued at the conclusion of the meeting said 1t sought to prevent the LIE from going to tits own destruction as a front for the American Con- munist Party"
 l IlC lllClllDC1 Sl1p u tllC V c Ia overwhelmingly non Communist, the statement said, but an "inf1n- itely disproportionate" minority has seized control of the national office, the executive board, the paid staff, the union newspaper, and some dis trict councils and locals
 The union faces a choice of re turning the U.E. to the ranks of respectable C.I.O. unions with sound union objectives, or allowing the U.E. to hurry along to it's own des- truction as front for the American Communist Party and it's program. There is no middle road" the state ment charged.
 The Communist minority has demonstrated, the statement con- tinued, that 1t will subordinate sound union policies within the U.E. Its effort to associate the U.E. openly with the Communist Party program has been deliberate. In the progress the U.E. membership suf fered serious losses in the collective bargaining field, such as lost oppor- tunitieS to establish decent mini mum wages, the imposition of un- satisfactory incentive systems, and | the abandonment of various forms of union security such as mainten- ance of membership. These back ward steps were deliberately mis- represented and the losses mini mixed by the national office
 Endanger CI.O.
 The Communists are endanger- ing the welfare not only of the UE. and the CIO, but also of the American government in their ef- forts to make the U.E. vehicle to advance the foreign policy of the Soviet Union these persons are ere ating new and growing obstacles to understanding between our people and the Soviet people" the state ment declared.
 It charged the Communists with destroying Democratic processes within the union by relegating to second class membership" those who refused to submit to inf1ltration or to support Communist programs Democratic action is the only way which we can corerct the four repu way which we can correct the foul reputation of the UE. so eagerly pro noted by the enemies of free labor on the outside and so eagerly pro- noted by the Communist enemies of free labor within" the statement concluded.

Police Seek Onset Link To Murder

Onset Mass, Aug. l2.-CUP)- Acting on an appeal from police toWnsfolk and vaeationists today searched a 10-mile area radiating from the Colonial Casino the dance hall whence attractive Ruth Me G'urk. 25-year-old Cambridge store worker, was lured to her death or the night of July 27
 AS police concentrated on locat- ing a witness who could positively place together Miss McGurk and the only suspect on the murder night they asked residents to search their farms and grounds in an effort te locate the victims missing black change purse and her brown and white spectator shoes
 Meanwhile. 1t was reported that a man had told the office of District Attorney Edmund R. DeWing he had reason to believe Miss McGurk was slain at a spot four miles from where her rayished body was dumped into cranberry bog reSer- voir just over the Carver line the first night of her vacation and found Aug. l, five days later.
 The man also reportedly told au- thorities he believed Miss McGurk was attacked and slain outside of of an automobile while attempting to flee from her killer. Police had theorized that she was strangled in car and that her slayer, familiar with the desolate terrain, had driv- en immediately to the reservoir to get rid of the body.
 The district attorney declined to comment on this latest report other than saying that his office would protect all sources of information.
 We will not make public the names or whereabouts of anyone coming forward to help supply us with the one link still missing, and possession of which will immediate ly solve this brutal killing and re- suit in an arrest for first degree murder" the district attorney said.
 State police again checked the Onset dance hall and visited Buz- zards Bay night spots over the week end in their attempts to link the suspect with Miss McGurk.
 Police also were hopeful of ob- taining new evidence from reports expected soon on the complete au- topsy of Miss McGurk's body and an analysis of the suspects coupe, which still is held by the state.
