Towerman Free In Negligence On Train Crash STERLINGTON, N.Y.

(AP)-A towerman who admitted forgetting to stop one of two Erie Railroad passenger trains that collided yesterday has been cleared of any culpable negligence. Five persons died and 36 were injured in the head-ou crash. Towerman Fred Roth, 38, Glen Rock, N.J., was cleared in his admitted lapse of memory by Rockland County Coroner R. J. Moses.

However. Dist. Atty. John F. Skahen requested county officials tc continue their investigation.

Roth said under oath that he had been ordered to stop the westbound while an eastbound train bypassed a freight. The train which was to have been held at Suffern. N.Y., four mile: east of here, went through Roth's tower without receiving a signal to stop. "I forgot it," he said. Later, Roth said, he tried to warn the train by radio but no answer.

A freight train, Roth said, heard the call and answered before crash. The tracks parallel a stretch of Highway 17 where police cars have trouble receiving radio. calls. The wreck spot is about 40 miles from New York City. Police blame the difficulty on iron ore in rock cuts along the way, Roth, with the railroad 11 years, was released from questioning after Moses completed his inquiry.

All the dead were aboard the eastbound train bound from Monroe, N.Y.. to Hoboken, N.J., This four -car train met the six-car westbound train from Hoboken to Port Jervis, N.Y., with such force that the lead cars were all but fused to one another in a jagged mass of wreckage. The dead passengers were Pauline Cronon, Tuxedo, N.Y., and Robert L. Yofhman, 41, Warwick, N.Y. The other dead were engineer Samuel Nardo, 50, Glen Rock; fireman Michael J.

Race Issues Mark Today's Primaries By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, Negro rights were at issue in primary elections in New York and Arkansas. Farther west.

in Idaho, a primary featured a for governor who wants legalized gambling. The New York primary was held Harlem itself. Rep. Adam Clayton Powell was challenged for the Democratic nomination for his seat by another Negro, Councilman Earl Brown. The contest is only one of 52 for congressional and State Legislature nominations in York state.

But politicians regard it as a possible gauge of political sentiment in the Ic is the attitude towards the question by the two candi. dates that makes the issue more thar purely local. Powell has gone all out. He Theft Solved A weekend auto theft from Jesse Thrasher's Auto Lot has been -solved, and the auto recovered. Police Sgt.

called Brown a "hand-picked Uncle -a Negro phrase for members of their race considered subservient to whites. For his part, Brown has accused Powell of rabble rousing racism and "treason to the Democratic party." Most observers think Powell will win. He already has the Republican nomination. What politicians will be studying will be the victory margin. In Arkansas, where Gov.

Orval Faubus won an overwhelmin- primary victory July 29, the race issue has been raised in contests for nominations of two State Supreme Court justices. As in the case of Faubus, the big question is integration of public schools. Atty. Jim Johnson, organizer of Arkansas' first Citizens Council, a segregationist group, is trying to unseat Justice Minor Millwee. Johnson calls Millwee "flunky" for liberals.

Johnson says there ought to be a state constitutional amendment to force the closure of a public school ordered to integrate. The other Arkansas Supreme Court contest is between Griffin Smith Jr. and Justice Ed F. McFaddin. Smith objects to a dissenting opinion by McFaddin to a court ruling that man arrested during anti-integration demonstrations fould not be prosecuted.
