Republican, of Maine, member of
q Senate elections subcommittee
told the Senate yesterday that
Mr.. Boyle gave that subcommittee
false information when he said
he was merely a volunteer worker
for the Democratic National Com
mittee in the 1948 presidential
campaign.
A Democratic national conven-
ton book in 1948 she said, identi-
fed MIR. Boyle as executive vice
chairman. The book, she added
listed E. Merl Young as an as
sistant to Mr.. Boyle and not as
a volunteer worker. Mrs. Smith
said she wanted to bring those
matters to the attention of the
subcommittee investigating any
activities OF Mr.. Boyle in connec-
ton with RFC loans.
Commenting on yesterdays tes-
kimony, Senator Nixon said there
are grave reasons for criticism
If Mr.. Boyle mace an appoint
ment between Mr.. Hise, two Off
cials of the Lithofol' Corp, and
Mr.. Finnegan.
Pay One Of Questions.
But the main question the
subcommittee should determine, !"
he told reporters, sis whether Mr..
Boyle received pay or had con-
tinuing connections of any kind
with the Lithofold Corp. after he
became national chairman.
If evidence of that kind de-
velops the subcommittee most GER
tainly should go beyond the Lith-
ofold Corp. and see> whether he
received compensation or gave
political influence in behalf OF
any other companies"
The California Senator urged
also-and said he will formally
suggest to the subcommittee-that
the current inquiry learn whether
Max Siskind, Mr.. Boyle's former
law partner, made any kickbackS
TO Mr.. Boyle.
He noted that the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch reported Mr.. Sis
kind was retained as an attorney
by the Lithofold Corp. at $1,000
q month, after Mr.. Boyle ceased
his law practice and went full
time with the Democratic Ma
tional Committee in 1949.
$4,000 Payment Reported.
The st. Louis paper asserted
the company previously paid Mr.
Boyle about $4,000 in commissions
Mr.. Boyle has explained that the
company paid him about $1,000
for legal services that had moth
ing to do with the RFC loan.
The Lithofold Corp. loans from
RFC, in the opinion of Senator
Nixon, were questionable, to say
the least" Although the com.

whether such loans were in the

|Train-Dash Refugees
Tell Of Cowing Reds
Al Pistol Point
BY the Associated Press

STRAUBING, Germany, Sept.
Is. - Men who risked death for
freedom unfolded today the secret
story behind their dash last Tues
day from Red Czechoslovakia in a
train captured at pistol point.
A former station master, who
had spent five months in a Com
Imunist concentration camp, held
the Communist fireman at bay in
the locomotive cab.
The engineer who raced at full
throttle was already marked down
by the state security police for
arrest.
Desperately anti Communist
friends stood guard over the hand
brakes in the four-car train, ready
to shoot it out if the Communist
conductor or two soldiers and a
policeman among the passengers
tried to intervene.
"a stone fell from my heart
when we were finally successful, !"
said 41-year-old Jaroslav Kon-
valinka as he and other freedom
plotters related their adventures
here today.
Thirty-one CZechs from the
train have been granted political
asylum by the United States High
Commissioners Office. Seventy
seven who were involuntary pas
Isengers on the amazing dash
through the iron curtain have
gone back to Czechoslovakia.
Conceived by Engineer.
Mr.. Konvalinka, who brought
his wife and two children, aged
IS and 8, on the freedom train,
was the locomotive engineer who
first conceived the escape plan
months ago. He had identified
himself earlier here as Frazek or
Francek Jarda, "for reasons of
safety"
The second lead was Karel
Truksa, 81, former station master
at Asch, who fell afoul of Com
munist authorities and was sent
to a concentration camp from No
vember, 1949. to March, 1850. Aft
erward, he had a minor job at
the Chew (Eger) railway station.
They set D-day for last Tues
day.
At Frantiskovy Lame, 13 miles
from the Czech West German
frontier, Mr.. Truksa climbed
aboard the locomotive, waved a
pistol at the Communist fireman,
and forced him to lie down.
The Communist conductor
failed to take action as the train
rolled into West Germany, but
anti Communists guarding the
handbrakes were armed for a bat
tie If necessary. The soldiers and
the policeman sat stunned.
At the little German border
settlement, Selb-Ploeszberg, the
conductor jumped out and
screamed insults at Engineer Kon-
valinka.
you've got nothing more to
say to me-" the latter sighed hap
PLY.
Twenty-Five of the refugees
met at the Western press for the
first time today at an American
Army club in Straubing. Some
were still so fearful of Communist
power that they declined to say
anything about themselves.
Radio Free Europe and the
Voice of America are heard clan
destinely by many Czechs, they
said, and RFE's programs identi-
flying government spies and in
formers attract special attention.
An auto mechanic, who asked
that his name be withheld, told
that he, his wife and
two baby daughters had twice
vainly attempted to cross the
frontier through the Bohemian
woods.
"The second time a friend ad-
vised us to climb on the train to
Cheb. for we would reach safety
sooner that way" he recounted.
I'VE couldn't believe him, but we
got on, anyhow.
In Czechoslovakia, we felt we.
were always being shadowed. !

ing program feasible. he said.
"OPS is fully aware of the i'm
portant part that a community
pricing program can play in the
stabilization program, he added.
Such program came into prom
inence during World War II under
which the country was divided
into relatively small market areas
and grocery price ceilings were
set for each area on the basis of
local transportation and other
COSTS.
He explained that the commu-
nifty pricing program during that
period had lot to do with hold
ing the line on wholesale and re-
tail food prices. up to now, he
said "OPS is prohibited by law
from controlling below-parity
farm prices and has not suffi.
cient assurance that prices have
been stable enough to make the
printing and posting of ceiling
price charts practicable.

and are subject to penalties un-
der the defense production act
of 1850 which might range from
injunction suits to criminal pros
ecrtion, Charles r. Rairdon, To-
ledo district OPS director.
Mr.. Rairdon added, however,
that a trade buyer is generally
defined as one who buys for re-
sale or manufacturing or for other
use in industrial or commercial
businesses as distinguished from
a buyer who buys for his own
private use or consumption.
He said that the defense pro-
duction act recognized that in
certain situations, the buyer, as
much as, or even more than the
seller, may encourage an illegal
transaction, especially on COM
modities which might be in short
supply or difficult to obtain.
According to a recent interpre'
tation from Washington, d. c., the
ultimate test to determine liabili
ty is essentially the good faith
of the buyer, since there might
be circumstances under which he
would not know all the facts re
garding the legality of the sell
er's price.
"A buyer may ask for clari
fcation from the seller, if he ha;
reason to believe violation
exists, or if he wishes to avoit
that approach, possibly because
of an indication that supple:
might be withheld in retaliation

whether indoors or outside"
Chief Steffens made it plain that
the Spring Cleanup Drive is by
no means confined to homes, bat
is just as applicable to commercial
and industrial properties.
This is the Cleanup program,
designed to eliminate the common
hazards which cause 80 per cent
of all fires, that East Cleveland
residents are asked to observe:
/. Dispose of all rubbish, dis
carded furniture, old mattresses
and other flammable materials.
Sell or turn in old newspapers,
magazines and rags. They are
badly needed for many defense pur-
poses. ~
2. Clean dirty chimneys and
heating plants and make any
needed repairs. Flammable wood
shingle roofs are good tinder for
spark originating from dirty Chin
neys. Keep chimneys clean and re-
cover worn roofs with a fire-re-
sistant material.
3. Clean and repair electric
motors and appliances. Replace
frayed extension cords.
A. Avoid use of explosive clean
ing fluids. Cleaners of the non-ex-
plosive type are available.
5. Clean yards and alley-ways
as we'll as interiors to eliminate the
threat of fire from outside sources.

Cleaning Up Fire Hazards Termed
Patriotic DUTY" By Chief Steffens

Fire Chief Fred Steffens today
asked East Cleveland residents to
get rid of fire hazards as spa
triotic duty" declaring that need
less fires actually were detrimen-
tai to national security at a time
when 1--WE are involved in hostilities
in Korea and face the threat of a
possible full-scale war"
Appealing for community wide
support of the Spring Cleanup
drive, the Chief said the common
hazards which cause most fires
could be eliminated "just by doing
a good job of house cleaning in our
homes, offices, stores and indus
trial plants"
Pointing out that defense needs
are causing severe shortages of
most material for civilian use, the
Chief said that the repair of build
ings damaged by fire would cur
tail the limited supplies available
for other than military purposes.
1t takes only a spark, a care
lessly discarded cigarette or a
match to set pile of newspapers
and rags ablaze.
Clear away rubbish which has
been allowed to accumulate during
the winter and the possibility of
such a fire is eliminated, the Chief
emphasized.
"The same holds true of other
common hazards" he adde d.,
