Davis Expands His Little World,
Walks to Middle of Boulevard

|ritory and he had scrupulously
avoided stepping on it since the
French government refused to re-
new his visa.
But this morning an artist brought
an abstractionist painting around
for Mr.. Davis to autograph. At the
request of photographers he and
the artist went to the middle of the
street and had their picture taken.
Mr.. Davis said he now has been
assured by a U. N. official that the
street was legally inviolable under
the "extra-territoriality" granted by
France to the U. N. for the dura-
ton of the General Assembly open
ing next Tuesday.
The U. N. legal department said
the street is part of the Assembly
area. Thus MIR. Davis can cross
safely to the doorstep of the meet
ing hall.
He went back to his squatting on
the restaurant steps and said, grim
ming: Il am expanding my world" :"
He is not allowed to eat In the
restaurant, but said he was being
"fed by humanity" the sympathiz-
ers who bring around handouts.
Small groups crowd around to
hear Mr.. Davis speeches for fed
eralized world without passports.
Although U. N. officials are pri-
vately concerned over what to do
about him. thev have made no move
to eject him. In a wide range Of
speculation, 1t was suggested from
one unofficial quarter that the U. N.
hoped the French government
would ask that Mr.. Davis be hand
ed over. In that case, one official
said. he would be given up by the
U. N.-with a sigh of relief.

Trains Had No Lights
In Crash Fatal 10 5
GIs, Witnesses Say
BY the Associated Press

SEOUL, Korea, Sept. 15.-A
fast passenger train roaring out
Of a tunnel last night crashed
into another train halted on the
track killing 35 homeward- bound
American soldiers. Two Koreans
were killed and 12O persons were
injured, including 80-American
troops. They were bound for
Seoul from Pusan CFusan).
Witnesses said the fast train from
Mokpo to Seoul, which had nc
headlight, telescoped the rear of the
troop train, which had no real
lights.
One passenger on the soldiers
train likened the wreck and subse-
quent fire to a Dante's inferno
Rescue workers worked all night
digging out the dead and injured.
The IS American bodies were
brought here early today. The in.
jured were treated by American and
Korean doctors and many of them
were able to continue their journey
Rear Coach Emptied.
Charles McCafferty of Chicago, a
passenger, said the engineer of the
Mokpo train apparently did not see
the other train until it was SO
yards away.
The engine plowed half way into
the rear coach from which most of
the passengers had jumped when
the other train roared from the
tunnel.
The rear coach was ripped from
its trucks and showed into the
coach ahead, where most of the
casualties occurred.
I'VE saw the train come out of
the tunnel about 1000 yards away"
said Mr.. McCafferty, labor rela-
tions adviser to the military govern
ment in the American zone. I'VE
yelled to the passengers and all got
off except one man in the washroom
who was not hurt seriously"
Army officials said relatives of the
dead were being notified, but it may
be necessary to bring personnel rec
ords from outlying detachments to
complete identif1cations.
Torches Used in Rescue
Acetylene torches we're used to cut
open the coaches to reach some Of
the dead and injured.
About daybreak today, a hospital
train arrived in Seoul with 20 bodies
and 16 of the injured.
A medical disaster team and SAL
wage workers were at the scene.
Army physicians reported that at
least three soldiers remained
trapped in the twisted wreckage
when the first hospital train left
for Seoul.
NJ E. Penry of Flushing, N. Y,
among 80 passengers in the rear
coach of the rammed train, said he
shouted a warning when he saw
the other train approaching. The
coach was emptied quickly. He said
he ran alongside the train, waving
a small pocket flashlight in an
effort ito warn the soldiers in the
two. coaches ahead.
seconds later and just before the
crash, he jumped from the right of
way into a rice paddy.
The crash, he said, sent the rear
car right through the one ahead
riding through at the level of the
seat tops"
I've got to hand # to a1 M. P.
who was giving . warning from the
other side Of the train," Mr.. Penny
said. He jumped onto one Of the
soldiers cars and got caught in the
vestibule when the crash came"
The Pusan-Seoul train was not
on its regular route because of q
washout, the Army reported.

responsible in its lack OF factua
support"
Mr.. Alexander is expected to con
tend that so far as he knew he wa!
bound to answer questions by tht
committee staff and to point ou
that when the questioning touched
on the United Nations he sought te
answer only in executive session tt
avoid publicity.
The bulk of his testimony related
to technical visa matters, into which
the subcommittee was inquiring a.
the basis for possible revision of the
immigration laws.
Mr.. Alexander told the inquiry
committee, it reported, that aftel
looking into the records following
his Capitol Hill testimony he wa!
convinced that "the danger to oul
national security" from admission o.
questionable aliens into the country
as employees of the U. N. and othel
international organizations appear:
to be more potential than actual ol
immediate"
Committee Saw Calculated Risk"
He classed as potentially subver-
sive all aliens coming from Com
munist-controlled countries, and in.
sisted that IF the problem of these
subversive persons coming into the
country is allowed to 60 on the
security of the Nation might be
jeopardized." The committees po-
sition was that any risk was "cal.
culated risk" implicit in the location
of U. N. headquarters here.
The basis for disciplinary action
against Mr.. Alexander was laid In
letter sent to him on September
9 by Arch K. Jean. chief Of the
Division of Departmental Person
mel, preferring specific charges. Mr.
Alexander has through next Mon
day to make written reply.
Three attorneys, Arthur J. Hill
land, James r. Murphy and Charles
Warner, are helping to prepare his
defense.
Vigorous repercussions are ex-
pected from the Senate Judiciary
subcommittee, headed by Senator
Revercomb, Republican, of West
Virginia, before whose staff Mr.
Alexander testified. Senator Rever-
comb already is pushing a request
which Gen. Marshall has denied
for access by his group to the visa
files concerning aliens attached tc

School Enrolment
|CIimbs 10 $500
|0n Second Day

Second day enrollments In the
District public schools found regis
trations climbing in the elementary
grades but still not as much as
school officials expected.
The total enrolment reported yes
terday after school closed was sc, ,808,
or 1874 fewer than the 88,152 boys
and girls who had reported by the
second day Of school last year. In
the elementary grades. however, sec
ond-day enrolment was up 917 over
what it was this time last year.
The increases were felt mainly in
the elementary schools in the newer
sections of Washington, which last
year had more than 1000 children
in part-time classes in five white
schools and 1900 in II colored
schools. Most of these schools will
have classes on part-time before the
peak enrolment Is reached, school
officials believe.
Had Predicted Increase of 1000.
The second day figures showed
that 164 more white children had re-
ported in the elementary schools
than last year at the same time and
753 more in the colored schools.
School officials had predicted an
increase of more than 1000 in the
elementary schools this year.
This figure may still be reached,
however, it was pointed out. Peak
enrolment normally is reached in
the Washington schools in October.
Last year it was more than $4,000,
although opening day enrolment
was only $4,000.
terday showed that the white high
schools were down 1,449 and the
junior high schools, down 604. In
the colored schools, high schools
we're down only 5 students while
junior high schools were up 40.
Figures Erroneous
School officials yesterday, through
an error, told The Star that the
opening day enrolment last Sep
tember was 88,1O6 pupils, which
meant that Mondays opening en-
rollment of 1912 was 1894 less.
The correct opening day figures
for last September is $4,000 and
Mondays enrolment was only 968
less than last years.
School officials believe the earlier
opening date this year is the reason
for the lower first day enrolment
plus the fact that many nonresident
students did not enroll now that
they have to pay tuition for attend
ing school In the District. Informa-
ton on the number of nonresident
students who did enroll is expected
later in the week.
