BpW HEAR SENATOR
 TEL | HE OWES ALL IN LIFE TO WOMEN

To two women, he owes his life, his success and his position as a member of the Territorial Senate, Senator Heinie Snider told the wofnen of the Business and Profess sionel Womens Club at their lunch con meeting in the Baranof Ter race Room Monday.
 This popular Republican senator from the Third Division, who has become as well known for the stor- ies he tells as for his independence politically, left no doubt among his listeners of his sincere regard for his wife and for his mother to whom he "owes everything in life" "
 As for his stories. he talked his way into election as senator in the Third Division" and it was his wife who suggested that means of winning, he said.
 Snider,, who was born in Holland, told of twice when his life was saved by his mother-once, when because of her he delayed his sail ing for America and the ship he would have taken was lost on the Atlantic with all aboard drowned and again when he was lost at night in arctic Alaska, without matches and nearly frozen.
 When I saw my mother coming toward me, heard her tell me to get up and walk, I realized that I had fallen asleep in the snow and would have surely frozen to death. but I decided that should obey my mother and forced myself to walk and walk and walk until day. light came"
 When my partner saw me as I reached my cabin when daylight came, and he realized that I had spent the night in the open without matches, his comment was Some one was surely praying for you. and I knew it was my mother"
 Senator Snider's mother, 86 years old, still lives in Zaandam in Hol- land and, though he has not been back to his home country for over forty years, he talks to his mother by radio on every birthday.
 The BPW meeting was presided over by President Lucille Stine. Mrs. Kenneth Clem,r program chairman, introduced the speaker.
 A convention report was made by Mrs. Frances Paul who said that the dates of the BPW Territorial convention to be held in Juneau will be May 26 27 and 28.

FRANKFORT.-At the same time that the West Germans want more American troops to protect them against the threat of the Red Army, a steady stream of strategic mater ials is rolling out of Germany to help arm that Red Army.
 This secret aid to Russia does not represent the real sentiment of the West German people or their new born government. But it does represent the sell-both- sides down -the-river attitude of the big industrialists. These are the same industrialists who cozied up to Hitler and made his rearmament possible, also the same industrial ists who now want to sabotage the Schuman plan for cooperative op- eration of the Ruhr Iron and Steel =

come for an accounting between
ourselves. I have totalled up all
the sins and transgresSions I COM
rnitted during the year and have
drawn the score
"After pausing for a moment
the tailor drew out another book
and said: And in this volume,
Master of the Universe, I record
ed all the wrongs you have heap
ed upon me during the year.
"And then the tailor began
enumerating the suffering, pain,
agony and anguish he and his
family underwent through the
year, how often his children had
been ill and he had no money to
summon a doctor, and how often

he and his wife and children had
gone hungry for want of pennies
for bread.
when the tailor completed
comparing his sins as against the
grievances he had against the AL
mighty, he turned his eyes
heavenward and said: Master of
the Universe, if we were to have
an accounting, the balance would
be heavily in my favor. However,
since this is Yom Kippur eve,
when law bades mutual forgive
ness, stand ready to forgive you
but only on condition that you
promise to deal justly with our
people and condone all their sins,
errors and transgressions.'"
Now the chassidim understood.
But the Rabbi went on: 81 was
compelled to wait with the Kol
Nidre because the words uttered
by Eli produced a great commo-
ton in the Heavenly Court. They
pierced heaven and opened all
doors. Satan was stunned by the
simple words of our tailor and his
evil tongue became paralyzed. In
the end the Seat of Glory agreed
to condone all our sins and to
enter our names in the Book of
Life"
There was joy in the hearts of
the worshippers as the Rabbi be-
gan chanting the Kol Nidre, for
now they were sure what fruits
the ensuing year would bring
them. Legend has it that the
Angel of Death had no prevalence
over a single one of the towns
Jews that year and that not one
of them experienced the dread of
poverty.

railroad detective-who did not
give his name-disagreed with
the engineer on the speed Of the
train. The detective said it was
going at top speed when it hit
the trestle.
The Pennsylvania, in a state
ment. said a 25-mile-an-hour
speed limit was in effect on the
new track, opened to traffic less
than five hours before 1.-The
Broker" cracked up at 5:43 pm.
r The new track was swung about
SO feet from the old one to clear
the way for the Jersey Turnpike.
big cross-State highway now un-
der construction.
The Pennsylvania said six trains
passed over the new trestle safely
before 1.-THE Broker"
Investigation Ordered.
The railroad said the treStle
itself was not a factor in the ac-
cident - despite the engineers
statement.
The train pulled out of Jersey
City at $40 pm. Commuters
from New York board it there
after coming under the Hudson
River by tube train.
1t was more crowded than usual
because another commuter line.
the Jersey Central. was tied up by
the switchmen's "sick call" strike.
Many Central commuters elbowed
in with the estimated 900 pas
sengers who daily ride THE
Broker"
The train snaked its way from
Newark across suburban North
Jersey in the darkness of early
evening. The lights of busy in
dustrial areas along the tracks
flicked by its windows.
Then it hit the trestle, the
engineer fighting the brakes to
try and control it.
Heard Brakes Go On.
"I heard him throw on the air
brakes three times as she came
down a grade and onto the
temporary tracks," said Attorney
Irving w. Teeple. on his way
home to Leonardo, N. j., from his
Newark law Office.
"He was doing his level best to
hold her back"
But the steam engine rolled on
across the trestle for about three
car lengths.
"It just went bounce, bounce,
bounce-and then there was a
terrible noise" said another pas
senger, Norman Merz.
The big engine left the tracks
and plunged in an arc to the
pavement of street below, in
this city of $1,000 persons 80 miles
south of New York.
Five Cars Plunge Down.
Behind it. the first five cars of
the train followed in a tumble of
jagged steel. Some of them turned
over in the thick mud of the
embankment. Others stayed up
right, grotesquely twisted across
the rails or along the embank-
ment.
Passengers were tossed about
inside the coaches like dice in a
cup. Many were mangled to bits
under the grinding weight OF
sharp, broken metal.
Others survived or died in tomb
like crevasses of steel. as some OF
the cars were bent into a U-shape
by the terrible force of the crash.
It took about seven hours-until
