Unfortunately, other peddlers

Chief Murray said he wanted
to express special appreciation
to The Star for it's campaign

There's no question we could

into the station Thursday morn
ing. This job may be completed
tonight.
Meanwhile. the ICC was in
vestigating the possibility that
the 16-car trains air brake Sys-
tenn might have been tampered
with.
There were indications that a
valve on the brake pipe at the
end of the third car in the train
was out of position.
A plug in the line at this
point, an ICC spokesman said.
could have caused the brakes to
fail on all cars to the rear.
Witnesses said the air brakes
apparently were working on the
first three cars, but not, on the
last 13.
Brakes Were Smoking Hot.
Smoke and sparks billoWed
from the steel brake shoes and
wheels under the first three cars
as the Federal Express out of
Boston roared into the station
and smashed the bumper at the
end of the track at an estimated
speed of so miles an hour.
After the wreck, the wheels
and brakes of the first three cars
were smoking hot. while those of
the last 13 cars were still cold,
an ICC investigator said.
The plug in the line could
have resulted accidentally, it
was said. congressman visiting
the scene of the crash were told,
however, that the possibility of
sabotage was still under con-
sIderation.
The FBI is making a separate
inquiry.
Officials at the station are
driving the repair work on a "a
hour basis. The huge terminal
has been primary favorite with
inaugural crowds since the
building was erected in 1907.
Special trains from all parts
OF the United States will begin
to arrive at about the time the
temporary repairs have been
completed. The concourse and
the huge waiting room behind
it are scarcely enough to ac-
commodate the visitors.
When the wooden floor has
been completed it will be COW
