Opposes Arming
Soviet Russia naturally is vio-
lently opposed to the arming of
West Germany, and is using that
as one of its arguments 'igainst
consenting to German unification.
Unification is the biggest issue
in the world to Germans.
Wilhelm Haas, West German
ambassador, is expected to pre-
sent a note to Russvh within the
next few days calling for a Big
Four conference on unification.
There seems to be no possibility
that Russia will agree, especially
as the Kremlin is angiy over the
recent outlawing of the West Ger-
man Communist Party.
In recent days, Russian and
Kgyptian newspapers have at-
tacked West (termany savagely
because it supported the United
States control plan in he recent
London Suez conference.
Criticise Britain And France
But while West Germany sup-
ported the American plan, it is
even more firmly opposed than is

SPRINGER, N. M., (I'.Ri—Santa
Fe Railroad officials said Wednes-
day night that a confused fireman
threw a switch at the wrong time,
sending the crack "Chief" smash-
ing into a mail and express train
and killing 20 persons.
T. J. Anderson. Santa Fe's as-
sistant general manager, said the
fireman became confused and
threw the switch too soon. The
passenger train, which should have
sped past the waiting mail train,
instead roared onto the siding
and hit the sidetracked train
head-on. Twelve persons were ta-
ken to hospitals and one was in-
jured seriously in the pre-dawn
smashup Wednesday .
A coroner's inquest into the
deaths was scheduled for today.
Workers found the 20th body in
tKe wreekagv of the fwo Sanfa Fa
train* just before dark Wednesday,
more than 15 hours after the col-
lision on a siding south of Spring-
er.
Bulldoaera clear Tracka
The last body found was. that of
a Santa Fe employe, Lawrence
McCormick of Raton, N. M., who
had been off duty and was travel-
ing to catch his regular run.
Bulldozers pushed the wreckage
to one side and other trains were
able to pass through by Wednes-
day afternoon.
All the dead were Santa Fe em-
ployes, but only one was on the
mail train—engineer L. J. Rush of
Raton. The others were personnel
for the Chief, including engineer
X. 0. Focfer of Raton.
McCormick'a name wu not list-
ed with the passengers or the crew
since he was riding a pass. There-
fore, it was not known that he
was among the dead until the
wreckage was combed.
Eight of the injured were treat-
ed ut Colfax County Hospital and
released. Four were hospitalized,
but only James E. Wolter of
Rockford, 111., a dining car work-
er, was in serious condition.
No Passengers Killed
Santa Fe officials said it was
"coincidental" that only crew mem-
bers and no passengers, were kill-
ed. Most of the passengers and
off duty crew members were a-
sleep at the time of the accident.
The collision demolished the lo-
comotive units of both trains and
four cai'B of the Chief, including
a baggage car, the dormitory cai
and two pullnvms. The dining and
lounge curs of the plush streamlin
er were derailed, but did not over-
turn.
Most of the bodies were found
in the crew's dormitory car.
Chwfles Kincaid, a brakeman on
the Chief and a resident of Albu-
querque, N. M., said he was stand-
ing in the vestibule of one ol the
pullmans when the trains hit.
"I opened the upper half of the
vestibule window to see if train
number eight the mail train had
any signals for us as we passed.
I never did see the train. 1 don t
remember much until I foi to the
hospital."
