HENDERSON. Secretary. n19-14t oh One of the key men in the Thanksgiving Eve Long Island Rail Road wreck, the engineer of the stalled Hempstead train that was rammed, refused today to appear voluntarily for any further questioning about the accident. An attorney for the Brotherhood of Railroad Engineers notified Assistant District Attorney Albert E. Short of Queens that William Murphy, who has testified several times that his brakes jammed, would not appear today for questioning as had been expected.

Short admitted that the District Attorney's office cannot compel Murphy to testify unless the investigation goes to a grand jury, which can subpena Murphy. Meanwhile, the Public Serv. ice Commission's probe of the wreck was moved from P. S. C.

offices in Manhattan to Jamaica Hospital, where a brakeman of the stalled train was to be questioned by Commissioner Paul Lockwood. The brakeman is Bertram N. Biggam, who was injured when the Babylon-bound train plowed into the rear of the stalled train. The testimony will taken at Biggam's bedside.

Pickets will be posted at the Rockville Centre station and plans are being made, according to Martin Austin of the Long Island Commuters Protest Committee, to take over several parking lots in Queens and Manhattan to handle the automobiles necessary to bring the commuters to work. -Mass protest meetings and a special memorial service for Rockville Centre residents killed the Thanksgiving Eve wreck, which 78 died, also are being planned, Austin said. At yesterday's P. S.

C. session, 12 crew members of the two trains were questioned about circumstances surrounding the wreck and the safety rules and operating regulations cf the railroad. thee Kelton, points local brought chairuAmons man of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, in questioning several crewmen, were: Can Work Full Year 1. It is possible for an engineer or a trainman, if he so desires, to work a full year without a day off. The testimony was in connection with evidence that Benjamin Pokorney, engineer of the Babylon train, who was killed in the wreck, had worked from Nov.

1 until the day of the wreckNov. 22-without a day 2. It is impossible for trainmen and engineers to comply with all rules and still keep trains on schedule. Says Rules Come First 3. Emphasis in operation of trains is on maintenance of schedules rather than obedience to other rules, several of the trainmen testified.

But a company official earlier in the day had said adherence to rules rame fir st, with schedulemaintenance second. Commuters for years have been critical of the habitual lateness of some trains on the line. Legislators Act Two Queens Republican legis islators, State Senator Seymour Halpern and Assemblyman Fred Preller, today called on the special Long Island Railroad Commission named by Governor Dewey to investigate the railroad to give close attention to their three year joint efforts to have the road taken over and operated by a Long Island Transit Authority of five men, one of whom would be the chairman of New York City's Board of Transportation. Their bills to establish the authority have been rejected by the Legislature each year. Women Plead for City Action In Sea Gate's Health Situation Two women representing 401 Sea Gate families who are without electric power and who face dangerous health conditions as a result of last week's storm conferred today with an official of Borough President Cashmore's office in an effort to have repairs made.

The two women, Mrs. Estelle Seeb and Etta Borsha, were told that there was some question as to who has jurisdiction over the area in question, and they were referred to the Water and Sewer Departments for action. The meeting was arranged by one of his representatives at a meeting last night in the 16th A. D. Democratic Club, 25 Bay 25th attended by a committee of four women representing Sea Gate residents.

Ex-Captive of Nazis Cleared In Concentration Camp Slaying A tribunal sponsored by American Jewish Congress today had unanimously absolved Majer Mittelman of Oliphant, a former inmate of a German concentration camp, of any part in the 1945 fatal beating of Zalman Krieger, another prisoner. The complaint against Mittelman had been filed with the A. J. C. by Krieger's brother, Benjamin, of 50 Lee who said Zalman had died of a blow inflicted by Mittelman in Muhl- camp.

Mittelman denied the charge. The tribunal decided yesterin Manhattan that it was a case of mistaken identity. The three-man panel, which had legal jurisdiction, said its decision was based chiefly on two major facts that at the time of the beating, Mittelman was shown by testimony to have been "very ill, on the verge of death," and that of 15 camp inmates who testified, 14 said they had never heard of the incident.
