BAYONNE, N.J. (AP)—-An au- topsy indicated Tuesday that a weak heart contributed to the death of the engineer whose com~ muter train plunged from an open drawbridlge into Newark Bay.

But medical officials said the exact cause of death will not be known until further tests are made. i

At least 21 died in the crash Monday and perhaps that many more. One passenger coach, pos- sibly wit-h bodies aboard, stillwa-s on the bottom of the bay Tuesday with divers and barge crews struggling to raise it. .

The engineer of the Jersey Cen- tral train, was Lloyd Wilburn, 63, of Red Bank, NJ.

Wilbum’s train did not halt on the bridge before it reached the lift - type "draw. Investigation were under way or ordered. The Interstate Commerce Commission ordered a public hearing Thurs- day in New York to establish “all of the facts, conditions and cir- cumstances” of the accident.

SUDDEN ATTACK? . . . . . . . . ..

One question to be answered was whether Wilbu-rn suffered a sudden disability, causing his hand to slip from the throttle of the diesel engine.

Dr. Francis Boyle, assistant hudson county medical examiner, was asked directly: “Did Mr. Wil- burn suffer a heart attack?”

“Just about that,” Boyle re- plied. * Wilburn’s body was found float-

ing on the bay shortly after the‘

accident. His fireman, Peter And- erson. _of Jersey City, still is missing. .

The railway said three warn- ing signals were strung for a mile before the bridge and all were working properly. In addition, an automatic detailing device put the twin - diesel engine off the rails 500 feet ahead of the bridge.

But the engine continued to roll forward, its wheels on the wooden cross-ties supporting the rails, un~ til it went into the 50-foot deep water with three of its five coaches.

Of the 21 bodies recovered, 20 were identified. They included that of George (Snuffy) Stirn— weiss, 39-year-old former New York Yankee second baseman.

The drawbridge operator, Pat- rick Corcoran, 55, earlier had re- lated how he had set the signals to halt the train and had watched helplessly as the train continued i‘s approach.

The railway feared the dearbh toll would reach at least 40.

Nationalist ' Warns War May Spread

TAIPEI, Formosa (AP) — Na- tionalist Premier Chen I Cheng said Tuesday if Red Chin-a per- sists in sealing off the Quemoy offshore islands, “it would mean extending the war.”

Chen, also Nationalist China’s viceapresident and heir- apparent to Chiang Kai-shek, told parlia- ment in a 4,000-word report:

“For the time being, we are merely answering the \ enemy’s fire. We are patiently keeping on the defensive and trying to con- fine the enemy’s flame of aggres- sion to the smallest area pos sible.”

But, he said, if the Red Chinese attempt to seize the offshore islands, the war in Formosa Strait would be extended to the China mainland. '

' He did not go into detail on this point but presumably he meant- the Nationalists would bomb the‘ mainland.

He said Red China’s offensive was “an acid test of the deterrent policy of the United States.” 'v

THE “PAPER TIGEIt” ,

The Red shellings and the letters by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev had, he declared, a common objective:

continually to withdraw from the Western Pacific and to prove again their propaganda-line that the United States isvbut a ‘paper tiger’ . . .” ,

Chen said the United States had clearly understood the implica- tions of the Communist attacks on Quemoy and Matsu and had, through statements by President ,Eisenhowec-‘mdrifdate Secretuy Dulles, “made known its firm and clear—cut policy."

By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer MONTREAL (CP)—A forceful Canadian demand for complete convertibility of sterling and an Indian plea for help to under- developed countries ‘were among key statements Tuesday at the big Common-wealth trade and economic conference. ' '

Undeterred‘ by the cautious British attitude expressed Mon- day, Canada’s Finance Minister Fleming said plainly he thinks any practical justification for re- franing from convertibility now has disappeared. _

Sterling is practically convert- ible now‘and the position should be “recognized and regulariz ” by complete convertibility, Mr. Fleming said. ‘

His statement seemed to fore- shadow a continuing Anglo-Cana- dian conflict on Britain’s capacity to take the wraps ‘off sterling.

AID F“R NEEDY '

Earlier, India urged ‘financial aid for. needy nations even if wealthy donor countries ve to do some belt~tightening 0 pro— vide it. ' -

The statements by Canada and India came on the second day of the two-week conference.

Indian. Finance Minister 'Desai, whose quiet but forceful deport- ment is impressing fellow dele- gates, stressed the disparities be- tween countries. India’s average income per head was about $50 a year compared with more than

By JOHN LcBLANC Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (OE—Eight provin— cial governments Tuesday. got permission to intervene in a tele- phone case before the board of transport commissioners, claim- ing the issue could affect freight rates. ' The provinceseall except On- tario and Quebec—were allowed by the board to take part in a $16,000,000a-year phone rate in- crease proposed for Ontario and Quebec by Bell Telephone Com- pany.

As the telephone and freight rate cases got tanglal up, the board also received an applica- tion from British Columbia Tele- phone Comipamy for new rates. Bell was seeking an increase of an average five per cent on its annual $326,000.000 from Ontario and Quebec subscribers.

BC Telephone asked for'an

average 12.6 per cent increase worth an estimated $5,754,000.

SEE FREIGHT TIE-IN

The eight provinces dived in against the Bell application on the contention that a board ruling granting the increase could. set a precedent that would follow through in freight rate cases in- volving much more money.

The railway freight rate in- crease case will involve about $60,000,000 a year immediately, to cover what the railways say they need to meet present and pros- pective wage increase demands by employees.

Likely, the railways will file their application for an increase ——of an immediate 19 per cent and also an indefinite future amount— with the board of transport com- missioners Wednesday.

Blind Father Of 14 Killed

Argument over the Bell lease Tuesday hung on the way the company proposed to set up its books for income tax purposes.

Earlier this year, the cabinet knocked out a board-authorized increase that would have given Bell about $13,000,000 a year on the basis of its tucking away about that amount into a tax re- serve fund. This time, Bell pro- poses to change its complex tax setup with about the sa-me effect, plus some $3,000,000 which it says it needs in addition.

It would pay the government— instead of hanging on to the taxes —witlhout delay.

The provincial governments asked for the unprecedented in- tervention on the claim that the shift in tax setup could cost heavily in freight rates if the rail- ways made increase requests on

opening policy statements, ‘and prepared for detailed discussions in forthcoming plenary sessions or in private bilateral talks.

In Tuesday’s business-like pro- ceedings these main points emerged: \ ,

General agreement was ex- pressed that the worst of the Iforth American recession is over and that possibilities of recovery look brighter. '

Several countries, notany Ghana and Malaya, emphasized the need of a Commonwealth de- velopment bank. The idea often comes up at Commonwealth dis- cussions, but objections are usu- ally raised that Britain is the only net exporter of capital, and that such a “family bank” would dup- licate existing‘ institutions.

South Africa tentatively raised the question of a Commonwealth approach on the price of gold. This is another Commonwealth perennial, seldo’m pursued in view of known United States re-

luctance to (gauge the price, pegged for 24 years at $36 an ounce in US funds.

All delegates referred to hopes

and world trade. Sterling coun- tries supported Britain’s deci- sion, expressed Monday, to go cautiously in moving town-rd com plete convertibility of the pound sterling.

acno PROTECTION CALL

New Zealand echoed Australia’s call for greater protection of primary producers, indicating she would like to see something that would do for food products what the General Agreement on Tar- iffs and Trade (GATT) does for industrial goods.

Finance Minister Fleming of Canada, conference chairman, met reporters a briefing ses- sion and said deliberations are proceeding in a spirit of “com- plete friendliness, sympathy and understanding."

Then, as the navy’considered shooting it down, the blimp settled easily to the ground some 25 miles east of its naval air sta- tion base here.
