(Continued From Page One) skull was fractured, Dr. Murphy | said it would be at least two weeks | before he would be able to leave! the hospital. The Flyer roared into Naperville at more than a mile a minute and with a rending crash of steel ripped into the lounge car of the advance Exposition, which had made an unscheduled stop. “Too Fast to Stop” | In a statement to States Attorney Lek Daniels, Mr. Blaine, the engi-| neer, said he was traveling at the standard speed of 85 miles per hour when he saw the yellow caution light a mile and a quarter from the gpot where the advance section had! stopped in downtown Naperville. | Mr. Blaine said he applied the brakes immediately when he saw! the yellow caution light a mile and | & quarter from where the advance section had stopped, but “we were going too fast.” | He passed the red light at the next signal, he said, still “trying to bring her down.” He said he stayed at the controls until the crash. He! believed that if he had been pulling | more than the nine cars that made up the Flyer he might have stopped. | Mr, Daniels said Mr. Blaine could | not understand why the brakes] failed to stop the train, nor could] Mr, Blaine estimate how much/ space was needed to stop a train of that length traveling at 85 miles. per hour, May Plan Tests Mr. Daniels said he might ar-| range for tests to determine wheth- | er such a train could stop in the 14 miles the engineer had. Mr.| Blaine said 85 miles per hour was | the scheduled speed at that point, but Burlington officials would not comment on his statement.
Most of the wreckage had been! cleared from the tracks today.| Wrecking crews aided by cranes suc- | ceeded in prying apart the tele-! scoped last car of the advance Flyer | and the locomotive that ripped nto it. | Six cars of the Advance flyer and five of the Exposition flyer were! either derailed or overturned. The 4000 horsepower Diesel engine of the Exposition plunged into the rear | lounge car of the Advance two-| thirds of the way, splitting it wide open and hurling passengers and debris into the air. The three cars forward of the rear car of the Advance were smashed hopelessly, and dead were strewn along the twisted tracks. | Wreckage and bodies were soaked, with Diesel oil.

ford, Ill, noticed “something” fly | out from beneath one of the coaches, He did not know what the, “something” was, but stopped the] train and the crew got out to in-| vestigate. It may have been a hotbox, or only a rock, authorities | sald. { The Advance's flagman, “James Aurora, Ill, raced| through the train to the rear platform and jumped down. Survivors in the rear cay saw him run down the tracks waving his flags. Then they saw him bolt and run off to| one side. Witnesses said the flagman was| standing seven or eight car lengths] from the rear of the Advance. It was a clear, bright day and visi-| bility was unrestricted. But the|
bend in the track was enough”to | obstruct the engineer's vision at that point, they said. Crash in 90 Seconds At 1:06 p. m. (Indianapolis time) | exactly 90 seconds after the Ad-| vance had stopped, the Exposition, her brakes screeching, rounded a gradual bend in the track and crashed with thunderous impact.
Just before the crash, the fireman of the Exposition, G, H. Crayton, Galesburg, Ill, shouted to the engineer, “Bill you're going to hit.” Then he climbed from the cab and. leaped—to his death. Most of the other dead were aboard the last car of the Advance, and most of the injured were in the three cars forward. The screams of passengers mingled with the grinding smash of the rear car, which crumpled like the wood of a cigar box. Mrs, Irene W. Cook, 20, Cohoes, N. Y,, was in the rear car, “I was facing the rear of the train,” she said. “Then everything came down on me. My head feels funny.” She was taken to St. Charles hospital at Aurora. Sol Greenbaum, 27, St. Louis, Mo.,’ also was in the last car and suffered an ankle injury. | Bodies Mutilated
“When the crash came I was thrown to the tap of the car, turned a somersault and came down,” he] said. “A pile of people fell on me. I kicked out a window and climbed out. I think the woman behind me was killed.” The Rev. F. R. Stenger, Catholic priest who administered last rites to the dying alongside the wreck, | made his way into the last car and found “decapitated bodies—dis- | membered, mutilated and crushed beyond human shape.” | Police, ambulances and volunteers were summoned from Naperville and neighboring communities. The bodies were taken to mortuaries here and at Aurora,
EMERGENCY FOOD DRIVE IS DELAYED
WASHINGTON, April 26 (U, P.) -A high food official said, today an emergency . food collection drive headed by Secretary of Commerce Henry A. Wallace is being held in abevance until it can be conducted “in a more practical manner.” The campaign was to have started May 12. The intention was to ask the American public to contribute canned goods and meney for the relief countries facing starvation. At Climax, Minn, UNRRA Director General F. H. LaGuardia sald the drive was being deferred pending restudy to-assure the most efficient and economical way of collecting ‘amd distributing canned goods. He said it would be inefficient to collect single cans of food and then repackage them.
