No one was injured in the blasts Sunday--10 miles apart-- which caused damage estimated by W. L. Thornton, the carrier's chief operating officer, at more than $250,000. e "It was definitely sabotage," Thornton said. 'I am not im- plying the unions are to blame. No one knows at this time who did this." George Leighty, chief negoti- ator for the 11 striking unions, said: '"'We know absolutely noth- ing about it." He said union members had been warned not to resort to violence. The first blast came at 1:37 a.m. Sunday as a south- bound freight crossed a 15-foot- high wood and steel trestle over a river in north Miami Beach. The 250ton diesel unit cleared the bridge then plowed up track for 200 feet. Four cars plunged across a highway and smashed through a rock wall into a park. CARS BURN Freight cars tumbled into the river. Thirty-three piled up be- hind the locomotive. One of these was a tank car carrying 20,000 gallons of volatile meth- ane gas. Firemen said the meth- 1 stroyed most of the 33 cars. have torn through a tavern crowded with 200 patrons. The train was travelling about 45 miles an hour and was preceded by a station wagon modified to travel on rails. This security measure was instituted because of the rash of violence. The station wagon didn't de- tonate the dynamite. The second blast occurred at 5 a.m. in the railway's Hialeah yards, where the derrick was being stoked to assist in clear- ing wreckage caused by the first \blast. The explosion ruptured \the boiler of the work train, the jline's only derrick car in south | Florida. The sabotage was the worst directed against the 577 - mile railroad, which operates be- tween Jacksonville and Florida City, south of Miami, since the non - operating unions struck Jan, 23, 1963. Railroad officials said there have been 146 inci- dents, WANT PAY RAISE About 1,200 union employees went on strike, making about 800 others idle. They demanded the 10.28 cents-an-hour pay in- crease agreed to by nearly all class I railroads on a national evel, The Florida East Coast Line, not a party to. the nego- tiations, said it couldn't afford the rise and wanted to bargain separately. és There has been no passenger service since the strike, but freight service hag been built up to four trains each way daily, using supervisory person- railroad now has a work force of about 700. girl, is ob- scene and may not be sold here in a 50-cent paperback.

Deferice counsel Je- remy Hutchinson indicated he planned to appeal. Hutchinson--who recently de- fended that famed pleasure girl of the 1960s, Christine Keeler-- argued that Fanny Hill was not dof tad obscene, but a true picture of! life in the 18th-century London Cleland knew. Hutchinson asked whether it was right to sell the book openly in a high-priced edition but ban the cheap reprint.

"We do not believe he has met with an accident, "and it is beginning to look as though he may have defected," a So- viet delegation source said. As one of a score of advisers with the Soviet delegation, Nos- senko presumably had access to classified documents. It seemed likely that if Nos- senko defected, Western intel- ligence agencies would try to get him out of the country as quickly as possible. Officials of Western delega- tions professed to know nothing of Nossenko's disappearance. Police in Geneva and in Bern, the Swiss capital, said they had no knowledge of the Russian's whereabouts. Russian Officer Seeks U.S. Haven Swiss declined comment but seemed convinced Nossenko left Geneva of his own accord. Nossenko is- known to have had a visa to France, a few miles away. He could easily have crossed one of the many border points around Geneva without being noticed. This was the first time Nos- senko had attended the Geneva conference. He arrived Jan. 20. Conference documents listed Nossenko as an -xpert~without saying in which of the y disarmament fields he was qualified. But his disappearance apparently caused considerable concern in the Soviet delega- tion. Unusual activity was no- ticed in Soviet headquarters throughout the weekend.
