Public Safety Forces
Praised in Congress
For Disaster Work

Praise for the public safety
forces of Washington for its
work in two disasters was voiced
on the floor of the House today
by Representative Jackson, Re-
publican, of California.
In a brief speech, he outlined
highlights of what he called yes
terday's two tragic happenings
and referred to Fire Chief Mil
lard Sutton, who was injured in
the fire and explosion.
"Of particular significance" he
said, was the immediate and
effective work of policemen, fire.
men and the rescue workers.
nurses. doctors and emergency
agencies.
There was no panic in any
case" he continued, land the
conduct of all concerned is a
credit to previous training and
calm judgment.
Public safety agencies are ef-
ficient only to the extent that
they are prepared to meet the
totally unexpected disasters and
the urgent requirements of emer-
gency. In this regard the public
safety forces of Washington
measured up yesterday to
standard of which any city in
the land might we'll be proud.

Mr.. JuStement discounted ar

the architect to show that hos

The college students-a ma

A Thousand Tons of Death
And 10 Seconds to Escape

A thousand tons of roaring
metal aimed down your throat
at so miles an hour-and 10
seconds to act.
That was the hair-raising
plight of Raymond Klopp. 40, a
stocky mild-mannered station
masters clerk at Washington
Terminal. The day was yester-
day; the instant, when he got
word that the runaway Federal
Express was headed down track
16, straight at the station mas
ter'S Office and the center of
the Union Station concourse.
Vital 10 Seconds.
In the 10 seconds notice he
had by telephone from a signal
tower, a scant four city blocks
in the railroad yard from the
station proper, Clerk Klopp did
these things:
l. Routed out four other en-
ployes in the station masters
Office.
2. Warned away seven by
ISLANDERS near gate 16 and the
counterman at the central con-
course newsstand.
8. Got to a telephone close by
to summon ambulances and fire
engines.
The station masters Office, the
newsstand and the gate where
the train precipitously arrived
were demolished. None of the
people who had been there, how
ever. suffered more than razed
nerves.
Mr.. Klopp, a veteran of IL
years in the station masters Of
flee. has never had anything
comparable to this experience in
his life.
"It's the first time I've ever
had to act fast" he said.
In his private moments of
quietude. away from the nor
mally calm routine of clerking.
Mr.. Klopp collects Oriental Gu
rios in his bachelor apartment
at 215 Constitution avenue NE.
One item he points out. is a
1.300-year-old Chinese porcelain
image of a horse.
Critical Moment.
AS the critical moment ap-
preached yesterday morning. Mr..
Klopp was sitting at his desk,
checking schedules. Suddenly
the phone rang.
1T was John Feeney, out in
K tower" Mr.. Klopp related.
His voice was excited. He said,
There's a runaway coming at
you on track 16. Get the hell
outa there
II didn't stop and look. I
knew train 16 was aimed right
at the Office. l yelled at the
others in the office. 1 ran into
the telegraph room next door
and shouted at them to get out.
ran out the door and saw that
train bearing down just a few
car lengths away, and I yelled
at the people standing at the
gate.
II ran to the phone booths

The architect displayed
sketches of the proposed build
ing, asserting it would be
screened by trees and hedges.
Houses more than 1000 feet
away would have little view of
the building, he said.
He also predicted that if the
hospital is not built there, a
cheap housing development is
likely to spring up, because the
ground is not suitable from an
engineering standpoint for ex-
pensive homes, he asserted.
Mr.. Justement accused resi-
dents of "hysteria" and said they
had complained without know
ing the detailed plans.
Spectators at the hearing so
iammed the space that the Com
missioners themselves had diff
ficulty entering. A bloc of more
than 100 American University
students showed up early and
bore signs expressing their ap-
proval of the university's stand.
Just before the hearing
started, there was talk among
homeowners of attempting to
have the students ousted. But
the hearing began without such
| an effort.
Vote Against Shifting Hearing
The spectators were asked
whether they would like to move
to the Commerce Department
auditorium. but a majority voted
against it.
Also presented was a petition
from 5000 members of the
Woman's Guild of Sibley Hos

Moments later, as nurses and
doctors appeared on the scene.
he followed their orders to get
"all the morphine you can" from

And when things had settled
down a bit, one of the telegra-
pliers "came over and kissed me
on the cheek for getting him out
of the Office in time"
For himself. Mr.. Klopp added.

daughter Margaret, then return
ing from New York. Mrs. Tru-
man paused only briefly at the
scene on her way to meet her
daughters train.
Mr.. McNally estimated that
Union Station was damaged to
the extent of at least 5000, 900.
Railroad men said it will cost
at least $750,000 to replace
the locomotive, and damage
to the cars may go as high
as 100000. Pennsylvania Off
cials, however, could not COM
ment on this point.
The wreckage was subjected
to close scrutiny at the scene by
two inspectors from the ICC
and by FBI agents.
All three District Commits
sioners were present during the
Gay, at one time or another,
along with District police and
fire officials.
Pennsylvania officials said the
runaway train was protected
with every modern device for
speed control and safety, includ-
ing automatic and electric
brakes"
They added that the engineer,
obviously was thoroughly alert
and did everything possible" to
avert the accident.
Engineer at Home.
In Philadelphia. Mr.. Brewer
was confined to bed in his home,
under physicians orders to see
no one.
His wife said he had suffered
from shock, but was uninjured
in the wreck and was doing
wonderfully
A spokesman said the railroad
has spent several millions of
dollars IN recent years to pro-
vide a back-stop for the air
brakes.
The air system in widespread
use is designed to apply the
brakes to the wheels automatic
ally. if the pressure is lost. In
other words, the pressure is used
to hold the brake shoes away
from the wheels.
When the system functions
normally. the engineer can ap-
ply brakes all along the train by
release of air pressure. If an air
line is ruptured at any point, all
brakes are applied automatically
In addition, the Pennsylvania
has installed speed control de-
vice, which is operated elec-
trically and can apply brakes to
the axles to back up the wheel
brakes.

entrances lead from the con-
course into the huge waiting
room. The train broke in two
behind the first car, and onrush-
ing coaches and pullmans piled
up behind and alongside the To-
comotive.
An initial work crew of some
400 men was relieved last night
by somewhat smaller shift. Rail
and motor cranes were brought
into play to lift and drag three
badly damaged cars from the
75-by- 120-foot breach in the
concourse floor.
Tracks Will Be Clear.
H. j. McNally. engineer of the
terminal properties. said the
three central tracks put out
of commission by the accident
probably will be cleared for
normal service today.
Mr.. McNally estimated that
the station will be fully restored
for passenger use by Sunday or
Monday. Meanwhile, few if any
train schedules were Cancelled
yesterday. although some pas
6engerS experienced delays.
James P Newell, vice president
In charge of operations for the
Pennsylvania. said the locomotive
will be dismantled and removed
in parts. probably after the
inaugural.

Mr.. Newell said, ito determine
the exact cause of the accident,
but the railroad and ICC per-
sonnel will inspect the damaged
cars as they are made available.
In addition, tests will be made,
and full investigation will be
pressed as rapidly as possible"
Senators View Wreck.
The Senate investigation will
be conducted by the Interstate

tee, according to Chairman To-
hey, Republican. of New Hamp-

Senator Tobey and other COM

scene of the accident yesterday,
along with members of the COM

Witnesses will include officials
OF the Pennsylvania Railroad
and the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad, the line
that handled the train between
