Beaverdam Figures in Two Ac-
cidents Monday; Truck
Crashes into House

Trucks traversing the Dixie high
way, Route 25, figured in two un-
usual accidents at Beaverdam, Mon
day, fortunately without any in
juries.
In the darkness of early morning
at 1920 a. m. a big tractor trailer
assembly loaded with 121a tons of
soap crashed into the residence of
Harry Mumper on Vertner's curve
moving the house a foot off its
foundations and throwing Mumper
and his wife out of bed.
About IL hours later in the after
noon, about a block away from the
scene of the first accident an oil
refinery transport truck with two
trailers loaded with 5000 gallons of
gasoline caught fire on the Main
street of the village.
Quick action prevented an ex-
plosion of the cargo of gasoline
which it is believed would have
wiped out the entire business dis
trict.
Chicago Truck
The truck which struck Mumper's
home was owned by the Midwest
Transit company of Chicago and
driven by James Williams 43, of
that city.
Williams, northbound, coming into
Beaverdam, is reported to have APP
preached the curve ut the south
edge of the town at approximately
40 miles an hour when his brakes
failed to function and he was un-
able to make the turn.
In the crash which followed the
Chicago driver was unhurt as we're
also Mr.. ard Mrs. Mumper. Their
property, however. Was badly dam
aged with wallpaper - plaster off
the walls, dishes hurled from cup
boards and contents of the house
generally dlsheVeied.
Gas Truck on Fire
The cab of the oil transport truck
caught fire as it had stopped for the
traffic light at the junction of the
Dixie and Lincoln highways shortly
after 8 O'Clock in the afternoon.
George Peters, 80, of Findlay was
driver of the truck which was own
ed by the Refners Transport &
Terminal corporation with two
trailers each loaded with 1000 gal
Ions of gasoline enroute from Find
lay to Convoy.
r. w. Lutterbein, co-operator of
a filling station at the northeast
corner of the intersection saw flames
leaping from belly tank on the
tractor and shouted q warning to
the driver.
Flames Gain Headway
Peters was unable to disconnect
the tractor from the first trailer
and the flames had gained too much
headway to enable him to curb them
with a fire extinguisher.
Calls to Cairo and Bluffton
brought both fire departments. The
Cairo firemen arriving first brought
the fire under control with chemicals
and water.
The tractor was badly damaged
and paint on the first trailer was
scorched, but there was no explosion
of gasoline, due to the fact, Peters,
said, that the tanks were full,
leaving no room for accumulation of
fumes, which touch off explosions.
The incident is reported as having
given impetus to campaign
previously under way in the village
to raise money for the purchase of
fire fighting equipment.

Food Basic Question.
Lord Pakenham is expected to
cover a wide range of subjects in
his meetings with British officials
here. but food is the basic question
in almost all of them.
A wide area of the British zone
is receiving substantially less than
the prescribed ration Of 1850 caIo-
ries daily, and unrest is particu-
larry acute in the Hamburg area,
where general strike has been
threatened for several days,
The official ration for Hamburg
this week is 900 calories daily and
in some areas it approximates only
TOO calories, authorities said. The
British-licensed newspaper Tele-
graf reported today that the daily
ration in Essen had fallen to 320
calories.

This was shown in survey pre-
pared by the division and based on
q simultaneous census begun last
October in all four occupation zones.
The survey said that in order to
support a standard of living euuiva-
lent to the prewar standard, Ger
many would need to become more
industrialized than before the war. .
Agricultural acreage has decreased
from an average of 80 to 81 acres
for every 100 persons.
Exports Must Pay for Food.
Food imports can be paid for only
by industrial exports and there is
little possibility of increasing in
dustrialization over prewar levels
the survey said.
"As long as these conditions ex-
Eist." it added, Germany will have
"a surplus population with such at

quences as unemployment, low
standard of living, emigration when
permitted and low birth rate"

The waiting list for the 72o-unit

of the city is over 1000, Mr.. Cogswell
stated, adding that one must wait
approximately 18 months to get a

the waiting time for one-bedroom
apartment was about a year and
that for an efficiency apartment

With respect to the apartment

1876 units, Mr.. Cogswell said the

ment would protect the interests of
the riding public and guard against
the possibility of more than rea-
sonable return to Capital Transit.
E. D. Merrill. transit company
president, said he hoped the new
schedule would put the firm on a
sound financial basis during 1947,
despite the fact that only about
seven and half months Of the year
remain.
Mr. Merrill said the company's
net deficit after taxes. during the
first three months of this year was
about 5000 900.

under the old fares depends lot on
the stability of current expenses"
he said.
Capital Transit officials estimated
at the March hearings the firm
would experience a net deficit of
more than $4,000 in 1947 unless
fares were increased. Mr.. MerrilI's
statement yesterday indicated the
deficit would have been far greater.
Fares Last Changed in 1943.
That a fare increase would be
forthcoming had been considered a
virtual certainty since the close Of
the PUG hearings In March. During
the proceedings, the Federation of
Citizens Associations and more than
dozen of its member bodies went
on record in favor of providing some.
means of additional income for
Capital Transit.
Opposition to the increase came
from the Washington Industrial
Union Council (CIOD, the League of
Women Shoppers, the International
Association of Machinists, Socialist
Party of Washington, United Public
Workers of America {CIO) and the
American Youth for Democracy.
Individual citizens showed scant
interest in the hearings.
The transit fare structure was last
changed January 81, 1943, when the
PUG ordered the company to sell
tokens three for a quarter instead
of six for SO cents.

U. s. Soviet Conflict

BY The As.oeia.ed Press


NATURAL BRIDGE. Va, May o.
Senator Robertson, Democrat, of
Virginia said here last night that
the recent four -power conference in
Moscow was to a large exten a fall
ure and declared that while the
immediate areas of conflict between
us and the Soviet Union are in Ger
many and Austria they eventually
will spread.
In a speech broadcast nationally,
the Junior Virginia Senator sug-
gested that holy alliance" might
be the final resort il Russia violates
covenants and wrecks the United
Nations.
Senator Robertson asserted that
"a majority of our people have so
lost faith in the fact that God
governs the affairs of men that
they think another conflict inevit-
able" and added that the develop
ment OF the atomic bomb and su-
personic plane have made it crystal
clear that Democracy cannot be pre-
served by force"
Speaking in his home county ot
Rockbridge at a banquet given by
James Lees & Sons Co. celebrating
completion of the 100-year-old
firms new yarn and carpet mills
Senator Robertson urged his audi
ence to trust the leadership OF his
friend, Secretary of State Marshall
because .'he is a deyout Christian
whose life has been motivated by
the highest ethical principles.
Senator Robertson said, IF Rus
sia refuses to live with us in one
world, our next best hope for peace
will be through firm alliance with

tinental Europe, Great Britain and
