Hints of Brake 7ompering
Heard Anew at ICC Inquiry

the Grand Trunk Westerns Ma
pie Leaf Flyer near SCOTS. Mich,
Saturday.
The 70-mile-an-hour train,
carrying 200 passengers, slammed
into half-ton rail across its
tracks. But the engine tossed the
heavy rail aside, driving 1t four
feet into the ground. The train
proceeded undamaged.
Those investigating the Incl
dent found a bit Of wood used to
prop one end Of the rail so it
would not contact the second
track rail and thus close an elec-
trio circuit starting warning
blinker lights at nearby cross
ing.
Federal Bureau Of Investiga-
ton agents, Michigan State po-
lice, sheriff's deputies and rail-
road detectives agreed the
wooden block indicated at
tempted sabotage. The FBI
took complete charge Of the in
vestigation following the dis
covery.
Two More Instances.
Since the Union Station crash
two more instances of tamper-
ing with brake valves have been
discovered both on passenger
trains. One was found Thursday
at New Haven, Conn.,, and an
other Friday at Providence, r. I.
Both Of these were along the

which crashed through the

Chief witness at the opening
of the ICC probe of the wreck
was William H. Malta Of the
New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad. who was
engineer on the trips first lap
from Boston to New Haven.
Mr.. Malta testified that some
one must have closed by hand
an air valve which knocked out
the trains braking system at

part. however. the testimony of
Mr.. Malta and others was a
repetition of that given before

Bill 10 HospitaIize
Narcotics Addicts
Offered in House
EurIy Hearings Sought
On Measure Providing
Mandatory Treatment

A new bill aimed at curbing
the narcotics traffic by hospital
izing the addicts was introduced
in the House today.
Representative Miller. Repub-
lican, of Nebraska, sponsored the
proposed legislation.
Both society and common
sense demand that we stamp out
the use Of narcotics" DR.. Miller
said before he introduced the bill
II think the bill will 90 that and
help rehabilitate the addicts SC
that they will once more become
acceptable members Of society.
The measure, which was urged
by The Star, probably will be sent
to the District Committee. DR.,
Miller is expected to head the
public health committee to con-
slider it.
He said he would like to hold
hearings on the legislation as
soon as possible.
appalling Things"
DR.. Miller said he favored the
forced disqualification of dope
users as a means of coping with
the rather appalling things
we've heard about the narcotics
problem in Washington"
He added that the measure
should be welcomed even by
those who take drugs illegally
since it would give them a chance
to get free from the hold mar
cotics has over them. He esti-
mated that more than $500 per-
sons are now using drugs Illegally
in the District.
The measure, he said, was de-
signed to protect the health and
safety Of District people by cut
ting down the number of vicious
crimes committed by those under
the influence of narcotics.
Hopes 1t Will Be Model.
He said he hoped the bill
would become a model to be
adopted by other States, q num-
ber of which are now ready to
compel commitment Of addicts
to institutions.
DR.. Miller emphasized that
the measure would protect the
rights of the addicts by asSur-
ing counsel and jury trial.
The measure was prepared by
United States Attorney Charles
M. Irelan and revised after con-
sultation with DR.. Miller.
The legislator said he thought
no additional large appropria-
tions would be necessary to put
the law In operation since the
addicts would be sent to existing
hospitals.
