Freight Cars
Jump Track
In Maryland

HANCOCK, Md, Feb. 81
(AP) .-Twenty-six cars loaded
with wheat left the rails today
when an eastbound Western
Maryland Railway freight train
wrecked in this Washington
County town.
The cars and their contents
overturned into the old Chesa-
peake g. Ohio Canal, which
parallels the tracks through
the area.
No one was reported injured,
but heavy damage resulted to
the roadbed and traffic was
tied up on the two-track line
connecting Hagerstown and
Cumberland.
The cars which left the rails
were in the middle of a. lis
car train. They were part of a
75-car consignment of wheat
from Buffalo. N. Y, picked up
by the Western Maryland at
Connellsville, Pa. The shipment
was en- route to Baltimore for
export
The wreck is believed to have
been caused by a defective
wheel truck on one of the cars.
The track biSects Hancock
and is between busy U. S, 40
and the Potomac River.
Wreck crews from Hagers-
town and Cumberland were
clearing the debris from the
right-of-way, but railroad Off
cials were unable to say when
the line would be in operation
again.

Mr.. Linton suggested a pro-

of sunken trees, stakes and
other debris that prove haz-
ardous for the amateur boat
man in Maryland's unmarked
channels off the main rivers
and the Chesapeake Bay.
Besides the new fee, the

2,518 licensed slot machines in
