Frank Morgan, 59, Veteran Film and Radio Comedian Hollywood, Sept. 19 -The movie industry and throughout the nation mourned today the death of Frank Morgan, beloved comedian, whose sly chuckle and skillful double talk carried him through nearly 40 years of fame.

Later his graying hair brought him character roles as an roue.

As a dramatic actor he won two nominations for Academy Awards, Affairs of Cellini" and "Tortilla Flat." C. F. Malay, 70, T. H. Otto, 82, Head Boro Ballplayer Of Auto Parts Firm Charles F.

Sept. 19 (U.P.)- A speeding Southern Railway passenger train, bound from Salisbury, N.

to Asheville, N. with sleeping cars from New York, left the rails today while rounding a sharp curve. At least 30 persons were hurt, some critically. The Diesel engine and four cars ploughed into a 12-foot ditch as the westbound train neared the Newton station before dawn. The wreck piled the cars on their sides and smashed the diner.

Two cooks were trapped in the kitchen and at least one was feared dead. Four Pullmans at the rear broke loose and stayed on' the tracks. Most seriously hurt were trainmen aboard the engine, baggage car, mail car and diner. At least six Negroes were removed from their segregated coach with serious injuries. Rescue workers managed to free one of the cooks after a four-hour battle with cutting torches.

His condition was uncertain. Every available ambulance shuttled back and forth between the wreck just inside Newton's city limits and the town's one hospital.

MACADDIN, Britain to Bar Wage Increases Continued from Page 1 Other currencies devalued 30 percent were the Indian and Burmese rupee, the Danish and Norwegian kroner and the Finland finmark. The American stock exchange in New York was about the world's only Major financial trading market to remain open today.

France Calls Cabinet The into French Cabinet was called emergency session, servers devalue the predicted franc, that it would probably a great deal. Italy, Belgium, Sweden, Holland, Greeces and Western Germany were expected to follow suit. And in London a lot of people were calling it "Black Monday." The Stock Exchange was closed, as were most of the exchanges in Europe, to cushion the shock of the devaluation and provide time for readjustment. Unerlying the situation was the threat of inflation, unemployment, a lower standard of living and increased labor unrest. The Laborites were struggling to stave off as many of the ills as possible, and most of all inflation.

If inflation gets going, a decision to call a snap election before the scheduled balloting next Summer might have to be made. Already there were pendclaims for millions in wage increases, and more to come. The first rise in cost of living was a more costly loaf bread and higher flour prices. Throughout the world, governments were trying to decide how to cope with the greatest overnight shuffle in currency valuations since the war. The British Cabinet was in the most critical position.

Sir Stafford Cripps, Chancellor of the Exchequer, who announced the devaluation last night, was meeting the press this afternoon. He was expected to outline further the steps he was prepared to recommend to prevent devaluation turning into inflation. Seen as 'Stop-Gap' Washington, Sept. 19 (U.P)Administration experts today welcomed British devaluation as a move toward getting the United Kingdom off the American taxpayers' backs. But there were urgent protests from Republican Congressmen that the whole operation would loose a flood of cheap foreign goods to overflow our own industry and our own workers' jobs.

Others said the British must go farther and curtail some of their costly welfare state experiments. Everyone agreed that currency devaluation for the British was a stopgap, shot-in-thearm temporary measure. It will have no effect at all unless the British Government can hold the line against labor for higher pay and, in the long run, bring production costs down on a permanent basis. British devaluation came with the blessing and probably after the informal urging of the Truman Administration. GEORGE D.
