Bodies Recovered From Train Wreck
Berwick on Tweed, England, Oct. 26.-The recovery of many bodies after steam cranes hud removed the debris brought the death roll of the crash involving an express from Edinburgh to Lon- don at Goswick a few miles south of here today to 23.
This was Britain's second rail crash in three days. The number of injured ranged from 40 to 60, according to various reports.
An earker report said that the express involved was the "Flying Scotsman," but a railway official stated that the information was unfounded.
The official said that the engine and 11 coaches were derailed blocking both lines.
Early reports said that three conches were thrown into a field below the embankment.
The injured were rushed to a nearby golfclub house set- up as an emergency first aid centre, and ambulances, aided by forries and private cars, moved the injured on to the Berwick Infirmary.
The Infirmary was so busy that when a reporter put in a telephone call he was answered by one of the crash victime who said that the hospital was fully occu- pied coping with emergency cases.
Troops from neighbouring barracks joined with the ambulance workers and firemen who had rushed to the rescue of the passen. gers trapped in the overturned coaches of the derailed train.
The englue driver was among the Injured.
Rescuers were recovering the bodles of the victims by the light
of flares. police oflcer stated.

French Elections
INCIDENTS FOLLOW VOTING
Paris, Oct. 26.-Voters went to the polls in some 16,000 of the 38,000 French communes today in the second and last round of the municipal elec- tions.
As in last week's elections, when General de Gaulle's "Rally of the French the vote People" and the Communists emerged as the two leading political forces, today was largely on the Communist issue.
Last Sunday, General de Gaulle's "Rally" polled about 40 per cent of the votes, while the Communists lost roughly 15 per cent of the votes they received in the 1946 general election.

REPORT OF PLANNED COUP BY KOREAN RED ARMY
Lake Success. Oct. 26.-Several delegations have urged the United States to strengthen its proposal regarding Korea to provide for stronger United Nations supervision of the Korean elections and the withdrawal of troops. These delegations, including some Latin- Americans, are understood to believe the American rezolution does not give the United Nations a strong enough hand in ensuring that a Korean government will be set up without Communist interference. Their concern is said to be based on reports from Seoul, and confirmed by American sources, that the Korean Communist army actually has plans to march into South Korea and take over once the American troops have withdrawn.
However, it is understood. Be United States answer to these bs that under the representations United Nations Charter the General Assembly has the right of recom- and observation but not of direct control of supervision and, therefore, cannot delegate any rights to the United Nations Korean com
