the end of the 20-car troop train.
Some were sleeping, others were
being awakened for breakfast
when the crash occurred at Sis
am. eastern Standard Time.
Torches Used to Free Bodies.
The rear coach looked like pile
of tin cans and rubbish after it
had been rammed. It's roof, 10
feet long, was compressed into 10
feet.
Four hours after the accident
workmen with acetylene torches
still were removing bodies from
the wreckage. Each was tenderly
laid, covered with an Army
blanket, on the ground as a heavy
rain fell.
The troop train had stopped, ap-
parently due 30 mechanical
trouble, at $40 am. (EST), a mile
east of West Lafayette. That town
is 7 miles west of Coshocton.
Red flares were put out, train

VoIunteerPo PoIiceForce
For Civilian Defense
Planned by Barrett
Proposal Is Submitted
To Commissioners With
Announcement Due Soon

Plans to set up a reserve police
force of volunteer citizens have
been made by the Metropolitan
Police Department, it was learned
today.
The plan has been submitted to
the District Commissioners and
an announcement is expected from
either the Commissioners or Police
Chief Robert j. Barrett on the de-
tails Of the force which would
be a part of the city's civilian
defense organization.
The question of training and
equipping such a reserve police
force will raise a problem Of
finances.
The District has asked $290, 600
to start q civilian defense set-up
including a full-time director
but it was cut to $4,000 by the
House. Senate action is still
awaited.
Fondahl Approves Offices.
Maj. Barrett and Inspector
John E. Fondhl, newly appointed
civilian defense director for the
District were closeted with Com
missioner John Russell Young
this morning for half an hour.
After the conference, Mai. Bar
rett refused to comment but did
say, in response to a specific ques-
ton, that he had not discussed
the reserve police force.
After an inspection tour at the
District Building today, Inspector
Fondahl tentatively approved an
Office which he said would "for the
time being" meet the needs of
his Office of Civilian Defense.
The tip on the Police Depart
ment plans came in a routine
teletype message sent to all com.
manding officers of precincts and
other police department units.
Fondahl to Start Job Today.
The message was sent by In
spector Fondahl. acting in the
name of Maj. Barrett. It told the
police commanders that applica-
tion blanks were being forwarded
which would be used to obtain re-
cruits for the police reserve corps
in the near future.
The message said also that fur
ther instructions would be sent to
the precinct commanders relative
to the procedure to be followed in
accepting applications for the new
civilian reserve police force.
A high-ranking police official
said that details would not be re-
yealed until the actual plan for
creation of the reserve force is
finished. When it is approved by
the Commissioners, the actual
creation of the force would go
forward with great speed.
Reserve Authorized in 1948.
In November, 1948, the Commits
sioners authorized the establish
ment of reserve police force.
The move was critized and the
