With a full complement of 72 passengers in the carriage, and more than 300 in the full train, the axle of a carriage on the 5.5 p.m. Wellington-Waterloo train broke yesterday at a point 200 yards south of the Hutt Road ramp at Petone, and at the commencement of the branch line to Waterloo. The carriage was the third from the engine of a nine-carriage train. It did not leave the rails, travelling 300 feet from where the axle broke, and coming to rest with the rear bogey still on the rails and the damaged leading bogey also within the rails and fouling the edge of a short culvert bridging a small stream 10 feet below. No one was injured. Election Broadcasting. Use of the National Broadcasting Service during the election campaign was the subject of an urgent question which the Leader of the Opposition, the Hon Adam Hamilton ,asked the Prime Minister, the Rt Hon M. J. Savage, in the House of Representatives yesterday. Mr Hamilton asked whether radio would be used during the campaign, and if so, what arrangements would be made for members of the Opposition to make use of it. “The National Broadcasting Service will be used during the election campaign,” Mr Savage replied, “but as yet details have not been arranged. I will notify the Leader of the Opposition when details are known.”
