Accident At Pennsylvania Station The accident occurred at the lines New York terminus, Sixth avenue and 33rd street.

The force of the impact i threw the first car against a row of girders. Five other cars remained on the rails. The train ln charge of Motornw. Stephen Larkin, was due at the Pennsylvania station at t.22 a. m.

The first car negotiated the switch, passed a row of pillars obliquely and was heading the train to a stop when the second cat split the switch. Struck from, behind the front car buckled 'til Its roof touched the ceiling of the tube. Attracted by the clanging of ambulances and police emergency squads, large crowd gathered on the street above believing a serious disaster had occurred.

He waved his hand that everything was all right, officials were told; and the rear truck spilt the switch as the train proceeded. The maintenance man, T. Glynn, was found and questioned. He said the switch was thrown properly while he was looking at It and denied touching it. A.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY MUST gj: INVITED, OTHERS HOLD I. GENEVA, Jan. 1 (P Europe come to the belief that her nations must unite If they are to live, Arlstide Brtaiio today told delegates from 26 European of the League of Nations to examine his plan for a pan-European federation. "We have a long road to travel," he told the assembly as. he opened it sessions, "and we must, map it out.

We must never be swerved from our purpose and ln our task we will reject the cooperation of none." Dr. Julius Curtlus, Germany's foreign minister, echoed the French chairman's declaration, asserting that his nation, supporting any program of cooperation and peace, agrees that in these first meetings economic collaboration among the nations must be emphasized, For the commission's guidance, Briand said, the league cecretarlat has prepared a report on the league's work for Euro pean organization during the past de cade, and a similar report has been a made. available by the International Labor union. These dtita, he said, will form a balsls for this commission's economic discussions, Urge Russia Be Invited Dr. Curtlus seized upon Briand's assertion that the commission would re pft one cooperation and asked when Oermany a proposal to Invite Russia and Turkey to sit with the commission would be considered.

Briand replied that he already had Indicated he wanted to call on all gov-vernments to participate but that there was still a question as to the proper time for Inviting these non-members of the League of Nations. The commission itself must decide this, he said. Curtlus answered that he understood, therefore, that his proposal was on the agenda for this session and the Issue was thus put squarely up to the commission. Turkey and the Soviet union are the only European nations not now represented at this meeting. Fears Division Into Two Camps Dlno Orandi, Italy's foreign minister, supported the contention of that both Turkey and Russia be asked to.

sit ln. Italy, he said, favors a European union which would include all the countries which make up Europe, Otherwise a union excluding some nations merely would divide Europe into two camps. The commission could not fore- see what, replies -Russia and Turkey would make, he granted, but he held it to be the duty of the commission to invite both countries. Arthur Henderson, for Great Britain suggested that this question be decided by a small committee. His proposal was adopted and the session recessed until later this afternoon.

Before the delegates dispersed, however, the bearded young. Italian foreign minister told them tha? Italy regards disarmament as essential to any plan for European union and the basis of European security. THEATER TO OPEN RenOVatetf Broadway Now Known as Paramount.
