DILLON, S.C., UP) — A 17-car
streamliner, bound from Miami to

about 25 miles from Rennert, N.C.,

persons and injuring 187.
The train carried an estimated
300 passengers, many of them va
cationers returning from a winter

Anti-Trust Suit Against
American Oil Companies
WASHINGTON, UP) — Attorney
General Brownell Tuesday filed a
civil anti-trust suit against five
major American oil companies,
charging they had participated in
an international oil cartel.

Granery put before a grand jury
here last fall.
Brownell proposes to drop the
criminal inquiry for “national se
curity” reasons.
The grand jury proceeding in
volved more than a score of com
panies here and abroad.
Tuesday’s civil action named
as defendants:
Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey,
Standard Oil Co. of California,
i Socony-Vacuum Oil Co., Inc., the
Texas Company, and the Gulf Oil
I Corporation.
Couple Rescued When
Wave Capsizes Boat at
Start of Fishing Season
SEATTLE, UP) — A Centralia
couple, whose 36-foot fishing boat
was capsized at noon Monday in
the Strait of Georgia “by the
biggest wave we ever saw,” said
here after their rescue they “nev
er even gort their feet wet.”
Mr. and Mrs. Harold Prince
were brought to Seattle late Mon
day by a Coast Guard amphibious
plane and were taken to the U.S.
Public Health Service Hospital,
where Mrs. Prince was found to
have several cracked ribs. Her
husband apparently was not hurt.
The couple, alone on their trol
ler Tyee, was enroute with six
other fishing boats to Ketchikan
for the start of the fishing season.
Mrs. Prince said tearfully on
their arrival here that the boat
contained most of their worldly
goods, $75 worth of food and $200
in her purse which they had
saved for expense money during
the fishing season. She said none
of the loss was covered by insur
ance.

For All-Night Sessions on
Submerged Lands Bill
WASHINGTON, MV-Sen. Milli
kin (R-Colo) said Tuesday “We
may have to get out the cots” for
all-night sessions of the Senate
on the controversial and long-de
bated submerged lands bill.
With the administration’s legis
lative program facing indefinite
delay, Republican Leader Taft of
Ohio said he was considering a
move to invoke closure—a limit
on the torrent of talk on the bill
which has tied up the Senate for
13 days.
But Taft said that, at least for
the present, he believed any such
move was doomed to failure.

RED CHINA SPEED-UP DRIVES
CAUSE POOR QUALITY GOODS
HONG KONG, UFi—Communist
speed-up and “emulation drives”
have caused more bad goods to be
produced in Red China, Peiping
complains.
The Chinese Red radio blasted
Red factories and mines which
“sought blindly to increase quan
tity in production, ignoring qual
ity.” The radio scolded: “Not only
has the amount of rejections and
seconds increased, income has de
creased and the reputation of the
products has been seriously dam
aged.”
