Rail May Have Been Shifted On Death Line NEW that a rail was shifted by another train before the tragic Woodbridge, N.

was seen Monday at an investigation hearing. The testimony was a jpint inquiry by the interstate commerce commission and the New Jersey public utilities commission and the New Jersey public utilities commission into the Feb. 6 accident, which cost 84 lives. Kenneth J. Silvey, New York division engineer for the Pennsylvania railroad, said it "could be" that a previous train had shifted the track before the disaster.

However, Harry J. McNally, the railroad's division track supervisor, said he had inspected the rail passed over it, and found it "was perfectly safe to remain in operation." The section had been put in use over a temporary overpass only five hours before the wreck. The railroad has said six trains used the new trestle before the crackup. Meanwhile, in New Brunswick, N. Alexander Eber, assistant prosecutor of Middlesex county, sought a grand jury manslaughter indictment against the railroad.

He says there were no caution signals in the vicinity of the temporary trestle, where a 25- mile-per-hdur speed limit was set by the railroad. The engineer of the wrecked train, Joseph Fitzsimmons, has testified that he looked in vain for the signals, but nevertheless braked the train from 60 to about 25 miles per hour before the derailment. newly-installed, temporary section after two trains Apply For Training i 1 tJAeHHi U11U CCIllUg 0.1 Volunteer reservists belonging air force basgi Rantouli India Still Friendly Toward U.

County Guernseymen Hold 44th Gathering More than 80 La Crosse Guernsey breeders, their wives and a number of youths, the largest gathering in recent years, attended the dinner and annual meeting of the county organization Saturday at the Presbyterian church in West Salem.

It was the 44th yearly session of the group, and, as President Adolph Nuttleman reminded them, the association has gone through three wars and was facing another. He also stated, in his introductory remarks, that it was time for members to tighten their belts once more, but with economic operation, they should weather this crisis as they had done in the past. Following the business session, the board again elected Nuttleman president, L. E. Jewett vice- president and Vilas Young sec- retary-t reasurer.

Previously Earl Rhyme and Norbert Nut- telman had been returned to the board, with Bernard Pralle succeeding Lee for three year terms. Committees Named Two committees also were reappointed, the three officers to the sales committee and Earl Rhyme, Melvin Schomberg, Ervin Nuttleman and N. N. Rowe to the calf-raising project committee. Reports to the membership included that of the annual state association meeting, given by Norber' Nuttleman and Jewett; the club calf program by the chairman, Rhyme, with brief statements by Reuben Oldenburg, Ruth Anderson and Edward Brudos, who had participated, and several of the breeders, who had donated calves.

The project was given general approval and a vote ordered it continued this year. Dates of the two sales were announced, the Spring sale to be March 29 and the Fall sale Nov. 7 and It also was reported that classification week in the state would be in June, with breeders wishing to have their herds classified being asked to contact the state office as soon as possible. Discussion was held on the proposed junior fair at West Sa-- lem, Guy Jewett telling of formation he had received from state officials. The main obsta-.

cle, at present, he said, is a lanf prohibiting splitting premium money between more than one fair in a county. Where such uations now exist, the counties had more than one fair when law was passed. It is hoped, Jewett pointed out, that the law will be revised. Take Fair Action For the present, the Guernsey- association authorized additional effort in contacting legislators and advising the change. Arnold Sprain reviewed a talk given by George Britts, former state Guernsey secretary, at another county Guernsey meeting on the efforts of introducing into Wisconsin the newer M-14 vaccine for Bang's disease.

C. D. Griswold added that the subject has become too much of a political football, that tuberculosis was removed as a dangerous threat to the dairy industry by just one method, removing infected animals. If the same system had been used years ago', he said, the expense of eradicating Bang's disease would have been far less than it is now or will cost farmers of the state. A resolution was passed that the president represent the association on the West Salem centennial committee and then fur- that he grow a ther amended beard.

Entertainment was furnished a grqup of West Salem high school students, who pantomimed popular songs. The dinner was served by the women's circle number three of the Presbyterian church. REV. W. C.

HEWETT TEHRAN. Iran (ff) thunder of a 21-gun salute boomed out the news of the shah's wedding Monday to lovely Soraya Esfandiari, 19-year-old granddaughter of a once rebellious Persian tribal chief. Seated before two chief mullahs, Iran's highest religious leaders, the once divorced shah and his European-educated, half- German bride were wed in a simple Moslem ceremony at Marmar palace. By order of the shah, the traditional splendor of Persian court fetes was lacking in the celebration of the wedding. Iranian flags flying over snowpcovered streets and a prancing squadron of lancers provided the only spots of color as the new queen's limousine carried her to the place for the ceremony.
