Death Toll Reaches 94 in
Rescue Workers Still Probing
Splintered Wreckage for Victims
HARROW, Eng. (AP)—At least 14 bodies were dug today from the debris of a triple train crash, bringing the death toll of the second worst rail disaster in British history to at least 94.
All of the victims were found inside two splintered coaches at the bottom of a 50-foot mound of debris piled up by yesterday's fantastic collision of two expresses and a suburban train in the Harrow rail station.
Rescue workers some of whom had been on duty since soon after the crash yesterday morning, reached the center of the wreckage mound shortly before noon.
Doctors said the first basket of mangled remains taken from one coach were those of at least three and possibly five persons.
A locomotive from one of the three trains sheared straight through the coach yesterday, reducing most of its wooden structure to splinters.
A government investigation was underway to discover the cause of the accident.
At least three Americans possibly were among the dead. None were from California.
The three trains involved carried more than 1000 persons—many of them school children. Some 600 were jammed into the local commuter train when a Scotland - to - London express thundered at 70 miles an hour into its rear coaches as it stood in Harrow station.
A minute after the splintered cummuter coaches were strewn over the tracks, a northbound express out of London ploughed through the wreckage from the opposite direction.

Bridgford Manager First Witness in Robbery Trial
Testimony was under way today in the hi-jacking case involving four men on trial for nabbing a $17,000 load of choice beef sides from Bridgford Packing Co., at Anaheim last Dec. 8.
The testimony was brief: Superior Judge Robert Gardner opened court at 9 a.m. and heard testimony only until noon before continuing it until Monday. Reason: counsel had other court engagements.
The story began after selection late yesterday of a jury of four men and eight women, and one woman as an alternate—giving indication that the case might be protracted. A 13th juror usually is picked in a case that goes for a long time.
First on the stand was Plant Manager Glenn Orville Donovas of Bridgford, who said he arrived at the plant at 6:45 a.m. Dec. 9 and found that the hi-jacking had occurred and Arni Eggerton, an engineer, had been bound and kidnapped. He said the beef was worth $17,400 and that most of it had been graded as choice; not all had been stamped by a government inspector, however, Donovan said.
The state charges that Richard J. McGovern, Jack Goldberg Morris Goldstein and Irving Schulman finkled the theft, carried out in gangland style.
James W. Drake, one-time Bridgford employee, was known to Donovan, he said. Drake will be a state's witness, and so will Eggerton.
Jurors picked included: William R. Evans, John K. Anderson, Mrs. Hulda Alleman, Maude I. Julene, Mrs. Thelma G. Albertson, Dorothy F. Amack, Louise M. Ellis, Robert P. Adams, Russell M. Ioerger, John A. Allender, Mrs. Glayds Lamb and Mattie F. Addington, with Mrs. Mildred Ottaway the alternate.

Commie Speakers Call for Further Strengthening
MOSCOW (AP)—Soviet Deputy Premier Nikolai Bulganin told the 19th all-Union Communist par-commission last night that a third world war would finish the United States as a fighting power. Bulganin and British Commut- chief, Harry Pollitt, joined parade of speakers to the po-m of the congress after Maxim Saburov, chairman of the state comming commission, outlined oblives of the current five year war.
Emphasizing the strength of the Soviet Union, Bulganin predicted it if "American aggressors" violate the flames of a new world war, it will be their last one. Deputy premier however, an-LED for still further strength- of the Soviet state. Pollitt stressed principally the sufficiency of the congress for workers of the world. The Brit- Red leader is one of at least delegates here from Communist parties of 45 foreign coun-ss. Observers recall no previ- Communist gathering that included so many leaders or such a number from so many different countries.
Moscow newspapers disclosed to that Deputy Premier Lavrenty Berla, head of the Soviet police organization, has called for vigil- against American spies which said were being sent incessant into Russia.
County Honor Farm Setup
Grand jurors and supervisors conferred at length late yesterday on the jury's proposal that the county establish a so-called "honor farm" for alcoholics and county fail prisoners.
The supervisors, questioned at length regarding their opinion of the works camp proposal, told jury foreman, Jack Sargent, that the jury should submit written recommendations. Supervisors said they were willing to study the request and consider costs.
Some weeks ago the grand jury took the supervisors to the Los Angeles county honor farm at Castalic and there studied the operation of that farm.
Orange county's work camp would be on a much smaller scale and its development could be financed from money received from liuor licenses Foreman Sargent said. Last year the county and its several cities got $130,000 for liquor licenses from the state.
District Attorney Investigating Possibly Boqus Fund Solicitors
A second team was in the pre-campaign fund raising field today, and an investigation of its solicitors was opened by Dist. Atty. James L. Davis after Republican leaders said that the team has no connection with official GOP groups.
It was identified as the "National Veterans' Committee, Inc., of Hollywood. Receipts given out carried partial names as signatures, but solicitors who approached prospective donors gave names of Dennis Quinn and Case Smith. It was learned. They are believed to be the organizers of the "committee" which Republican campaign Coordinator LeRoy E. Lyon, Jr., said is not connected with the party.
Earlier, solicitors for a so-called National Precinct Workers, Inc., got into the money raising business in Orange county and a warning went out that they are not representing official GOP groups.
Davis said that his office's investigation will cover both the National Veterans' Committee, Inc., and National Precinct Workers, Inc., with a view to prosecutions for misrepresentation and obtaining money under false pretense.
Lyon charged that the soliciting teams are attempting to capitalize on the United Republican finance committee's finance letter now in the mails; this committee has official standing and is raising funds for the GOP campaigns.
