'Tifo's S Fiume Refinery,
Reported Sabotaged,
Is in Full Operation
By the Assoeiotsd Press

FIUME, Yugoslavia. Sept. 30
An inspection of Yugoslavia's big
oil refinery here showed this week
that the plant was in full opera
ton.
The inspection also supported
the Yugoslav governments denial
that the plant had been the scene
Of sabotage.
At the time of the blaze a month
ago the Italian press carried re-
ports that the refinery had been
consumed by fire and suggested
that saboteurs had set the blaze
as part of the economic warfare
which the Cominform is waging
against Premier Marshal Tito.
Independent Sources Checked.
However. a visit to the plant re-
vealed no evidence to support a
possible argument that plant off,
cials were attempting to minimize
and cover up claims of major
sabotage.
It would be highly unlikely. il
not impossible, for workmen tt

age in so short a period as Q
month. The only evidence of the
blaze was a short smoke darkenec
oil-drainage ditch which plant Of
ficials said was the place where
the fire occurred. They said II
took II hours to bring the fire
under control.
A checkup with independent
sources backed up the official yer.
sion of the incident. Those
sources seemed to confirm the &C.
count that the fire was minor.
No Troop Movements Seen.
In connection with the fire ru-
NOR there were other rumors that
Tito had sent two divisions OF
troops into the Istrian area to
crack down on sabotage. There
was no sign of any troop move
ment during a two-day trip in the
area.
The oil refinery is guarded by a
few troops and security police. On
the surface, at least. it appears
that no more than normal pre-
cautions have been taken to pro-
tect q strategic industry in this
part of the world,

New Orleans Man Charged With
Murder of Priest

Bates was taken to the bedside
of Father Neifert at the Hotel
Dieu for Identification. But the
skull fractured victim with face
beaten into a pulp, could not serve
the purpose. He never regained
consciousness.
In keeping with the practice Of
the Catholic church, the doors were
closed for "a hours to allow for
conservation purposes. This ordeal
is customary whenever violence is
committed indoors. Less than two
years ago, a white fiend here SER
iously stabbed a Catholic priest.
He, too, was pronounced a men,
tai case.
Bates, the father of two chill
dren, admitted that he often ssuf-
fered from nervousness and that
such a spell had seized him when
he attacked the priest.
The accused was positively iden-
titled by the bar maid, Mrs. Alma
LaCoste, 40, on whom he also
used the weighty cotton hook.
Bates will be charged with
armed robbery, according to po-
lice, and held without bail.

cotton hook to bludgeon into in
sensibility the aged cleric. He was
apprehended in less than an hour
after it was learned that a similar
attack had been made by Bates
on a Negro bar maid.
According to police he not only
confessed to the heinous crime but

he had planned to rob Father Mel
fert several weeks ago. Bates said
that he struck the priest after fol-

Gated at the rear of the altar.
A search of Bates home netted
a wallet belonging to Father Mel
fert. The accused said that he
took S14 from it. The money,
however, ha snot been accounted
for.
When questioned concerning the
dastardly deed, Bates said that he
needed money badly. A check with
officials O fthe killers union dis

Congress Roundup
tBY Jack Rutledge-

WASHINGTON, (P) - Debate was scheduled today on propos al to give the navy more wings as the House worked on the record breaking peacetime Sl6,O0O,0OO,- 900 defense bill.
 Before taking up this measure, the House quickly passed a $595,- 890,000 supplemental apprOpria- ton to the veterans adminiStra- ton. This was requested Monday by President Truman to pay for additional benefits for veterans during the next three months.
 And later in the day, if the House gets around to it, laWmak- CTS may take up a S7,576, ,886,231 bill to finance the veterans ad- miniStratiOn, the atomic energy commission and 26 other agencies for the fiscal year beginning July l. The House wants to clean up these money bills before taking what members hope will be a 1O- day Easter vacation ending April .25.
 The major decision, however, will be on the $16,OOO,OOO,OOO bill for the army, navy, and air force. AS it stands now, the air force gets the largest slice.
 Backers of a bigger naval air force want to add about $300,00O,- 000 to the five billions the appro- priations committee has approved for the seagoing branch of service
 The extra money would let the navy buy 1916 instead of 843 new planes next year, but it would still leave the navy's appropria-
