Kincaid said today. Check Specimens Nab $25,000 Mail Box Theft Suspect MILWAUKEE (JP) Postal authorities said they reached the end of a laborious trail Thursday with the arrest of Henry J. Bruhn of Milwaukee on a charge of stealing from the mails. The ponderous task was scrutinizing 50,000 handwriting specimens. Bruhn was accused of stealing 150 checks w'orth $25,000 from mail boxes in Milwaukee and Madison.

He obtained false drivers licenses to cash some of them, authorities said. Postal inspector John Kato said that to put an end to the thefts, which had been going on over a Game Striking Auto RACINE, Wis! (U.R) Railroad crews today cleared away the wreckage of a highballing electric commuter train that smacked into an automobile and bounded crazily off the track, killing one person and injuring more than 70. Epifonia Leal, 31. Racine, was thrown 100 feet and instantly killed when his car was struck by a five-car Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee train Thursday aft ernoon. At least 71 persons, many of them seriously injured, were ad mitted to hospitals here and in Kenosha, but only one el derly man was reported to be in critical condition.

The electric train leaped the tracks, peeled up 150 feet of track and plowed 500 feet up the right of way after the collision. Three Area Residents Injured In Crash Mrs. Martha Maibaum, 56, Route 1, Sun Prairie, injured Thursday in the North Shore Road train wreck near Racine, said she expected to be released today from St. Cath erines Hospital, Kenosha, where she was taken following the rail-motor crash. Mrs.

Maibaum told The Capital Times today that she was considerably shaken up in the wreck, suffered a number of painful bruises and scratches, but believed she had no internal injuries. Chester Porter and Mrs. Loretta Porter, both of Portage, who were pasengers on the wrecked electric liner, were released Thursday after receiving first-aid treatment at St Marys Hospital, Racine. Service along the Chicago to Milwaukee line was disrupted by the twisted wreckage and the North Shore Line set up a bus shuttle service to bypass the accident scene. Railroad officials hoped the wreckage could be cleared sometime today.

Hospital attendants said that 46 persons were admitted to St. Marys Hospital, four to St. Lukes and 21 to St. Catherines in Kenosha. Twenty-nine were later released from St.

Marys, two from St Lukes and 11 from S. Catherines. Edward Govin, 72, of Racine was listed in critical condition at St. Marys. He suffered back and internal injuries when the speeding train crashed into the auto.

Motorman Hiram M. Bryant, 53, of Waukegan said the northbound train was traveling 75 miles an hour when Leal drove his car into its path. There wasnt a chance for me to even try to hit the brakes, said Bryant. We hit him a second after I saw him. Bryant stepped from his post in the engine car when he saw he could not avoid the crash and took a position in the aisle.

impact of the collision threw him two thirds of the way down the aisle. John L. Guminski of Chicago, national president of the Seabees Association, was one of the heroes of the accident. He carried injured persons to safety and freed trapped passengers until he collapsed from the pain of a back injury. He was en route to Mil waukee for the national conven tion of the Seabee Association.

Women were screaming and there seemed to be blood everywhere, Guminski said from his hospital bed. A Navy doctor tried to'calm the women down. He took a baby from its mother. It was covered with blood. The doctor and I tried to help the women out.

coL 3) Nixon. Gives Backing to. McCarthy But Candidate Asserts He and Ike Are Not Endorsing Views By JACK BELL WASHINGTON (D Sen. Richard M. Nixon of California said today both he and Gen.

Dwight D. Eisenhower will support Sen. Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin if he is re nominated without endorsing McCarthys views. Nixon, the GOP vice presidential nominee, cold a reporter he and Eisenhower, the presidential candidate, will back all Republican Senate and House nominees in an effort to gain GOP control of Congress in November. But Nixon added: I want to make it clear that in supporting any particular candidate neither I nor Gen.

Eisenhower will endorse the views or the methods of Republican candidates which happen to be different fr6m our own. We recognize that in both the Republican and Democratic par-, ties there is and should be room for individuals who have differing views on key issues. McCarthy Welcomes Nixon Ike Backing HAYWARD, Wis. (JP) Sen. Joseph R.

McCarthy said today he will welcome the support of Gen, Dwight Eisenhower and Sen. RichartLNlxon if he is renominated in the Sept. 9 Wisconsin primary. -McCarthy, recuperating here from a surgical operation, hastened to add that I certainly expect to be nominated. The senator said a statement from Nixons office that the GOP vice-presidential candidate would support him, which denied a New York York Times story that the Californian would not help McCarthy, makes me very happy.

It would not be proper for me to ask the support of Gen. Eisenhower and Dick Nixon before the primary, McCarthy said in a telephone interview. But, after the primary, I certainly will welcome any support they wish to give me. I am ready to go all out for them. Nixon said both he and Eisenhower had stated their views on what Nixon described as so-called mccarthyism.

Democrats have criticized McCarthy for making what they called irresponsible Communist s-in government charges. On the point of so-called mccarthyism, Nixon said he and Eisenhower favor a fair, sane and effective program of investigation of all the charges that have been made and removal from the government payroll of those who are a threat to national security. Nixon added: We believe that such an investigation must be conducted in such a way that the rights of innocent individuals will be recog-( Continued on page 2, col. 1) Tim More Ask TVLicepses I adison 1 Two more applications for television in Madison have been filed with the Federal Communications Commission in Washington, it was learned today, making a total of six applications for the three available channels.

Commentator Censored Qnt State Journal Molds: Out Childs 9 Column Attacking McCarthy A column by Marquis Childs, a syndicated columnist whose work appears regularly in the Wisconsin State Journal, was dropped from the Journals editorial page Thursday. The column dealt with the testimony given in Washington by Paul Hoffman, head of the Ford Foundation and prominent backer of Gen.

Eisenhower, vthat Sen. Joseph R. McCarthys charges that Gen. George Marshall committed treason were fantastically false. The Childs column declared that Hoffmans testimony against Me Carthy in pre-trial procedures of the libel suit the Wisconsin Senator had started against Sen.

William Benton (D-Conn.) was of special importance because of Hoffmans closeness to Gen. Eisenhower. Before the Chicago convention Hoffman worked intensively for many months to help bring about Eisenhowers nomination, Childs wrote. He helped to attract to Ikes banner many who believe in international co-operation and who have great admiration and respect for Hoffman. In place of the Childs column Thursday the State Journal reprinted an editorial from Barrans Weekly.

Following is the complete Child column: By MARQUIS CHILDS WASHINGTON The issue of communism in government and Sen. Joseph McCarthys explosive charges are bound to figure in the coming campaign. For that reason what would have otherwise been a routine step in the beginning phase of a lawsuit in federal district court here takegjon a very special significance. Paul Hoffman, who was for two and a half years head of the Economic Co-operation Administration, gave a pre-trial deposition in McCarthys $2,000,000 libel suit against Sen. William Benton (D) of Connecticut.

He was called by Bentons attorneys to testify from his expert knowledge with respect to McCarthys charges that the Marshall Plan was a key part of a conspiracy to deliver the world to communism. Hoffman testified that he considered the McCarthy charges fantastically false. What gives this special importance is the fact that Hoffman is one of the chief backers of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower.

On leave from his job as director of the Ford Foundation, before the Chicago convention Hoffman worked intensively for many months to help bring about Eisenhowers nomination.
