By UNITED PRESS

Reports were prevalent today that the Berchtesgaden conference of Fuehrer Adolf Hitler with Joachim von Ribbentrop and Count Galeazzo Ciano, the German and Italian For-

eign Ministers, had resulted in a| ‘concrete plan for solution of the|.

Danzig dispute. What the Fuehrer’s actual irtentions ’ were, however, remained a question ‘mark. Inspired Nazi sources in Berlin hinted that the Berchtesgaden conference may have found a possible way out of the European tangle, perhaps a conference of the powers at which Germany’s colonial and other aims would be discussed. There was an unconfirmed report that Italy had submitted a farreaching “peace plan for Europe” to Hitler. ‘The London Daily Mail said it was believed such a plan had been drawn up by Premier Benito

Mussolini and was the main Object |

of the Berchtesgaden talks. Under the plan, the Daily Mail said, economic and colonial problems would be included and “certain plebiscites” would be held. " Times Urges “Munich”

It was said in London today that

Dr. Karl J. Burckhardt, League of

Nations High Commissioner for Danzig, had gone to Berchtesgaden on Friday night in compliance with an invitation from the German Government. He was apparently at Berchtesgaden while Count Ciano was there and may have joined in some of the talks between Herr Hitler, Herr von Ribbentrop and Count Ciano. / It was understood he was bac in Danzig today conferring wi Marjan Chodacki, Polish dip atic representative there, and Arthur Greiser, Danzig Senate president.

He had confidentially notified Great|.

Britain, France and Sweden, the three nations which are members of the League committee on Danzig. Diplomatic quarters in London noted with interest an editorial in the Times which they regarded as a veiled invitation to the powers to negotiate a settlement of Danzig and other problems. Despite all the talk of a settle-

ment, Poland remained adamant].

in its refusal to permit a one-sided German solution. A competent Polish spokesman in London said that before the Berchtesgaden conference, Poland had delivered an official memorandum to Italy, making its attitude plain.

Tokyo Talks Lag

Meanwhile, the Eire Government for the first time moved against the terroristic “Irish Republican Army,” raiding 20 houses and arresting an unstated number of leaders for recent bombings in England. , In the Orient, negotiations %at Tokyo for a seftlement of the Japanese blockade of the British concession at Tientsin lagged. Four Japanese Army officers who went to Tokyo from Tientsin for the negotiations returned to Tientsin today, announcing they would strengthen the blockade. An armored car unit of British concession velunteers was mobilized at Tientsin as delegates to a Jap-anese-sponsored - “national” antiBritish congress paraded in the Japanese-controlled area of the city.

SQUALUS READY FOR 20 STAGE OF LIFT

ABOARD THE YACHT MARY CHILTON, OFF PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Aug. 14 (Via radiophone to the United Press). —Four divers descended today to the sunken submarine Squalus; resting ‘on an ‘“uncharted pinnacle” 175 feet below the surface, and reported that its position was favorable for the next stage of salvage operations. Choppy seas earlier today had balked the divers but later the water calmed sufficiently for them to go oversides. ear-Admiral Cyrus W. Cole indicated that additional dives might be made before sundown. President Roosevelt arrived yesterday afternoon aboard the cruiser Tuscalooso and stayed an hour and a half. He sent a message to the salvage workers saying he was “greatly pleased.” The Tuscaloosa continued toward Campobell, Mr. Roosevelt's summer

home, but was delayed several hours today by fog.

‘Outside Heart Baby Is Dead

ANILA, Philippine Islands, Aug. 14 (U. P.)—Maria Carazon Rafael, who was born last Monday with her heart outside her body and amazed the medical world by her stubborn fight for survival, died early today. : A college of noted Philippine surgeons who had been in constant attendance announcéd the cause of death as cyanosis, or a lack of oxygen in the bloodstream. Baby Maria lived through her last two days under a mechanical “lung” devised by General Electric engineers here to protect her exterior heart and relieve almost constant cyanosis attacks. The mother, Sacramento Rafael, wife of a Government clerk, found consolation in a belief that Maria’s abnormal birth was the will of God” influenced by her

having viewed during pregnancy pictures of the Saviour’s heart.

* |RAYBURN MAY FAGE

SCRAP OVER GARNER

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14 (U. P.). —House Majority Leader Sam Rayburn’s indorsement of Vice President John N. Garner for the 1940 Democratic Presidential nomination was believed today to raise the possibility of a showdown between conservative and New Deal Democrats at the next session of Congress. A fight could be made in the House to displace Rep. Rayburn—a fellow Texan of Mr. Garner’s—as President Roosevelt's spokesman in the chamber. Such a fight Samii tedly would be virtually without precedent as re-election of a Congressional leader in the past has been almcet automatic. One factor which might determine whether a fight will be made, observers. believed, is the extent to which Rep. Rayburn was influenced by local political factors in Texas. If his support of Mr. Garner is in the nature of a homestate move to protect his Congressional seat, the Administration is hardly likely to raise any issue against him. A fight would be probable, it was believed, only if Rep. Rayburn openly moves out against the New Deal.

THREE ARRESTED ON WHITE SLAVE CHARGE

Three persons charged with violating the White Slave Act in connection with a carnival “nude show” were held for Federal Grand Jury action after a hearing today before U. S. Commissioner Fae Patrick.

Four former Vincennes girls between 14 and 17 testified at the hearing concerning the performances. : Another girl, subpenaed as a witness, escaped from a correction’ home here early today and is being sought.

SYPHILIS ATID HIGH IN SLUMS, "MORGAN SAYS

Declares He'll Ask Extra Funds for Fight Next Year; 25 Babies Treated.

Syphilis ai poor Hokising team up against public health in Jiang olis in almost direct proportion, Dr. Herman. G. Morgan, City Health Board secretary, said today. He announced that an analysis of all cases under treatment at City Hospital brought out this fact. He said he will ask for $12,500 for next year’s fight against venereal diseases. This® year only $5000 Was appropriated.

2327 Under Treatment

Dr. Morgan said that of the 2327 cases now under treatment at City Hospital, 27.46 per cent, or 639, live within a mile of Monument Circle where the Health Board has counted

. |350 outside toilets.

A total of 24.67 per cent live between one and two miles; 22.78 per cent between two and three miles; 16.46 per cent between three and four mils; 6.32 per cent between four and five miles; 1.97 per cent from five to ten miles, and .34 per cent between 10 and 15 miles. “Like other highly infectious diseases, we find the ratio rises sharply in slum areas,” Dr. Morgan said.

All Not Indigents

He pointed out that all the cases treated at City Hospital are not indigents. Twenty-five of the cases were in infants under one year; 75 were in children from 1 to 10 years; 250 in the 11 to 20-year group; 1100 in the 21 to 30-year group; 925 in the 31 to 40-year group; 462 in the % to 50-year group and 337 in the group over 50.

men had disobeyed an order forbidding soldiers and civilians to touch shells after they had been fired. “We all feel terrible about it,” Gen. Tyndall said. “It was one of those things we can't stop. It’s like telling a young man not to drive at 70 miles an hour. “We do everything possible to protect these young men, but they go out against orders and do occasional stunts that turn out disastrously.” It is not unusual for the men, most of whom follow a cilivian life routine during the year, to take shells from the artillery ranges as souvenirs of their training period, despite orders, officers said. The killed and injured men were all members of Battery D, personnel of which comes from Princeton and surrounding territory. They had completed one week of their 15-day training period. The accident occurred when many of the men were resting in their tents along the battery street. The shell detonator, which exploded, was found almost in front of the tents occupied by the victims. Each man killed had been struck by several shell fragments. Bodies of the twa Princeton men were to be taken to their homes while the others will be taken to Oakland City. Mr. Jones was. assistant to the Gibson County WPA recreational supervisor and the leader -of a dance orchestra. He is survived by his wife, a 4-year-old daughter, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jones, and a brother, Charles Jones, all of Princeton. Mr. McCarthy’s survivors are his mother, Mrs. Mary McCarthy of Kings Station, Ind., four sisters and one brother. Corp. Hendricks was married and the father of a son. Paul and Roy Maxey were the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer M. Maxey of Oakland City. Both were married, and the younger brother is survived by a son. Mr. Snow is survived by his parents.

Mrs. Marietta Brubaker, 70, of 648 N. Sherman Drive, was confined at City Hospital today after a chicken bone lodged in her throat while she was eating supper last night. Her condition was fair. Physicians said an X-ray examination would be made today. preliminary to removal of the bone.

officials believed the saboteurs either | ¥

had been frightened away by the horror of the wreck or by the fact that enough men survived uninjured to make looting impractical. One FBI agent was dispatched to the scene today. Two Interstate Commerce Commission investigators

‘| were already here and two others

were en route from the East. All Accounted For

All of the 194 persons aboard the brown and yellow monster when it

plunged at 50 miles an hour from a |

160-foot truss-type bridge into the shallow Humboldt River 16 miles west of Carlin Saturday night, were accounted for. County Coroner R. S. Harris, and a jury, after a preliminary examination of the quarter-mile of tornup trackage pronounced this verdict: “Twenty persons came to their death by train accident and to the best of our beliet and judgment the wreck was caused by a rail misplaced by a yerson or persons unknown.” Coroner Harris displayed two crowbars and a “drift pin,” which he said the saboteurs had used-to pry up spikes and ties on the qutside of the track at a puint where it curves into the entrance of the Humbolt bridge which is sét in the V of a narrow cliff-canyon. The train, railroad officials said, pressed the rails out from their bed as it tobk the curve, spreading the rails forward of the thundering Diesel-electric engine and, “with a blinding scream-

ing crash,” plunging six cars into}

the river and strewing ‘seven others in terrible wreckage along the right of way. Train Crew Praised In describing the condition of the defaulted rails, which were 165 feet east of the briage,iney said it was obvious that the saboteurs removed an angle bar which held rails rigidly parallel, removed some 40 spikes, then pried the rail section inward. The plate connectiong the rails was removed and dropped at an angle against the rail and nailed into

| place as a natural derailment. The

rail was then nailed down, leaving a four-inch gap through which the trucks of the train plunged onto the roadbed. A green tumbleweed had been placed in. the gap to conceal the act of sabotage. Railroad officials said they had definitely determined that the sabotage was accomplished less than four hours before the wreck, since a heavier train had passed over the tracks four hours ahead of the City of San Francisco. George C. Patterson, of the Southern Pacific operating depart-

ment issued this statement after:

viewing the wreckage: “It was obviously the work of either a railroad man or someone who had had experience at track work at some time. . . . Not even the wires were disturbed to break the conection and thus set the block signal against the approaching streamliner.

STEWARDESS IS WRECK HEROINE

Doctor Breaks Out of Car, Aids Her in Treating Injured.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 14 (U. P.) —Stories of heroism on the part

of train crew and passengers alike were related today by survivors of the wreck of the City of San Francisco upon their arrival here. Dr. F. G. Brigham, physician in charge of New England Deaconess Hospital at Boston was singled out by passengers for the untiring energy with which he worked to alleviate the pain of the injured. He was the only doctor aboard the train and had one -of the few flashlights. He was extremely modest in describing his own efforts, but passengers quickly filled in the details. Dr. Brigham was pinned inside his compartment on a car resting almost on the bottom of the Humboldt River. He could hear a porter drowning outside his door, pinned in the wreckage. Somehow Dr. Brigham escaped from the car—he thinks he smashed his window with the flashlight. At any rate, he smashed windows up and down the train, freeing trapped victims and applying tourniquets and rough splints with towels and sheets. At intervals he made the rounds of his patients loosening baudages to prevent the inset of gangrene.

Stewardess Faints Twice

Miss Thelma Ristvedt, 23-year-old stewardess of the train, used sheets and clothing to make torniquets for those in her car, although she twice collasped from her own lacerations and bruises. She told those with broken bones —and she thought she was the only one in the car to get out without fractures—to lie still. She made tourniquets for those who were bleeding. When she had finished, she heard cries for help coming from the next car behind and tried to get there. She collapsed in the attempt. Revived, she carried on until doctors and nurses reached the canyon. Then when reporters pressed her for her story, she collapsed the second time. “I had to help. It was my duty,” she said before she fainted.

Pullman Porter Praised

“Most horrible was the suddenness of the wreck and the impact of heavy steel, Dr. Brigham said. “In an instant came the screams and groans and calls for help, mingled with the prayers of the Negroes. Particularly commendable was the courage of the Southern Pacific crew and the Pullman staffs. One Negro’s legs were mashed to a pulp and his shoulder was nearly. torn off, ytt he told me: ‘Never mind me, Doc, I ain’t hurt bad.” “A steward saved my life,” said Mrs. Reginald Grubb of Montreal, wife of the manager of Canadian Industries. “Five minutes before the crash I asked him to lock my bed down. Otherwise I would have been crushed. The crew was marvelous in such an emergency.”
