SALEM, IIL(AP) Officials
of the Illinois Central Railroad
said today that a locked wheel-
probably caused by an elec-
trical failure-led to the
flaming derailment of the City
of New Orleans passenger liner
Ten persons died in the
wreckage and 94 were injured
The City of New Orleans, with
four locomotives and 14 cars,
hurtled off the tracks two miles
north of Salem at a speed of 90
miles hour, officials said.
There were 224 persons, in-

MOSCOW . APi- Three co®-
monauts began their fifth day
aboard the Soviet space labora-
tory today by taking blood sam-
ples and checking to see how
much weightlessness was
'washing out" their bone cal-
cium
Tass, the Soviet news agency,
said the cosmonauts' day would
again be devoted entirely to
medical experiments to check
the effect of weightlessness, a
major problem in the operation
of a permanent space station.
It was the third straight day
of medical tests in the orbiting
workroom for the three-man
crew Georgy Dobrovolsky,
commander of the fight; Vla-
dislav Volkov, flight engineer,
and Viktor Patsayev, test engi-
neer
During the day’s first com-
munications session, Dobr-
ovolsky reported the crew was
feeling ''well" and continuing to
fulfill its flight program
