'At least 170 were injured in the train collision.

The wreckage erupted into a mound 55 feet high which tore away large sections of an over hea.d footpath and spilled pedes trians into• the cauldron below. Rescue workers. many of them veterans of wartime air raids, were still digging in the wreck age for survivors and dead eight hours after the crash. Some tore at the twisted, telescoped coach es with their bare hands. ' The severe wreck came at the height of the morning rush hour. Graduate Killed In AUt© Accident Lt..

"The Soviet trap was perfectly conceived, • perfectly timed, per fectly sprung," he said. "The Communist milli:try po sition has been repaired. Be yond that, it has probably been made half again as, ,strong . . . We came to realise that we have been SWindled." The San Francisco speech was one of the key addresses in Eisen hower's whole campaign for the presidency. Eisenhower spoke in a tense hour, when it appeared the big gest Communist military action in more than a year had been launched in Korea. Eisenhower pointed heavy guns at three major objettives in his San Francsco address. 1. He bitterly criticized and ridiculed the courses the admin istration has been following since the end of World War IL nouring particular scorn on Secretary of State Dean Ache son. 2. He explained, and defended, his own part in the making of these policies, and his role, as Army chief of staff, at the time the "defense perimeter" in Asia was drawn, President Truman has accused Eisenhower of now at tempting to disavow his role in these vast decisions. 3. He laid down his ideas for meeting the menace of the_ cpld war, and turning it to the ad vantage of the free world.

Eisenhower. And judging from the applause that crackled from -the packed wooden bleachers in this staunch ly Republican lowa town, Robert A. Taft of Ohio was an easy win ner over Harry S. Truman in this unusual round of the struggle for the nation 2 s bread basket vote. Taft was applauded at least half a dozen times oftener than the President, and at the end got an ovation far louder than the wave of hand clapping for Tru man. Tens of thousands crammed the tree shaded streets of Shenandoah for the speech making and the free pancakes that are an annual f3ature of the town's Harvest Fes tival. • Truman, waving cheerily, rode at the head of a parade. Taft, just as cheerily waving, rode far to the rear. Lt. Dave Herrick of the state patrol esti mated the crowd at 25,000 to 30,- 000. But this was no holiday after noon's entertainment.

Adlai Stevenson rapped , Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower last night as grasping for votes with an about-faCe on European policy—and displaying lack of backbone with a name less endorsement of Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy of Wisconsin. "My opponent," Stevenson said, "has been worrying about my funnybone. I'm worrying about his backbone." Attacked Ike The raking attack on the gen eral and senator closed . out the Democratic presidential no m i nee's campaign for Wisconsin and 12 electoral votes. In an address prepared for de livery at the Milwaukee Arena, Stevenson went after Eisenhower this way on American policy in Eurbpe: "No other issue reveals more strikingly the tactics in this elec tion of the Republican leader ship—the use of one man's good name to camouflage a bad record, and that man's willingness to compromise his own views in op portunistic grasping for support in this election." Slap At McCarthy Stevenson said his GOP rival actively backed every develop ment in U.S. policy toward Eu rope from 1945 to 1952, then be came a presidential candidate and "overnight he changed his mind about_ what he stood for." The Democratic nominee backed into his slap at the Eisenhower alliance with the controversial McCarthy by giving a plug by name to Thomas E. Fairchild, the Democrat running against Mc- Carthy for the Senate, . and other party nominees on the 'state tick et. He also attacked GOP Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio and Wil liam E. Jenner of Indiana. Ken:lan's Policy Okayed by U.S. WASHINGTON VP)—:-The Uni ted States told Russia yesterday that Ambassador George F. Ken nan spoke "accurately and in mod erate language" when he gave the description of Moscow life which the Kremlin used as a rea son to demand his recall. At the same time Sebretary of State Acheson made it clear that the Kennan affair alone will not lead this government to send So viet Ambassador Georgi N. Zaru bin home or to break diplomatic relations. He told Sen. Knowland (R- Calif) in a telegram that many other grave considerations 'would enter into such a decision. He added, howeVer, that all phases of relations with Moscow will continue under examination. Knowland had demanded Zaru bin's ouster and withdrawal of "recognition" from Russia in con nection with the Kennan action. Rea & Deric.k S.

A special North Korean broad cast heard in Tokyo referred to "the failure" of the negotiations, charged that the Allies ignored a new Red offer, and' declared re sponsibility "lies on the U. S." It complained that the Allied delegation walked out while the new Red plan was being .ex plained.
