President Lazaro Cardenas tonight a special Investigating mm-mittce to inquire into the bombing of a railroad bridge near Paso del Macho last night which sent the Vera Cruz-Mexico City exprrsi of the Mexican Railway plunging into a ravine.

While private advices continued to place the number of dead at 40 to 50, the railroad company announced that its information indicated only eight persons were killed and 14 seriously injured. Political plotters were blamed for the bombing because of the presence aboard the train of three party leaders of the State of Vera Cruz who were candidates in the Gubernatorial primary Sunday. The three, none of whom was injured, were Colonel Eduardo FcniRiirtez Chazaro, former Moxican Consul General in San Antonio, Francisco Ochoa Zamudlo and Dr. Gull-Jcrmo Padilla, Reports from the scene of the disaster said that relief crews found wires leading from the torn rails to the bank above the ravine, whprc was located the infernal machine which blasted the bridge just as the train passed.

The first purt of the train fell into the 60-foot ravine and explosion of the oil tender set the wreckage afire. One Pullman teetered on the brink and caught afire as the flames shot up from below. Most of the passengers in this car, however, had time to escape. Destruction of the wreckage made determination of the casualties difficult. Captain Arturo Flores Onnznlro, a member of the Presidential guard, was among those killed.

His wife, who was herself seriously injured, tried to administer first aid as he died in her arms. Miguel Rrnaut, transportation Inspector of the railroad, was pinned in the wreckage and pleaded to be shot as the flames began to engulf him. He was listed as dead. The injured were placed aboard relief trains and dispatched to hospitals at Vera Cruz, while the search for bodies continued. Chancellor A.
