Miss Atwell and MI. Willard

down a 9-foot stairway between
the boat and promenade decks last
Saturday. The cause of the fall
was not known.
Returning From Cruise.
The girl, granddaughter OF Fed
eral Judge William H. Atwell OF
Dallas, was returning from
Mediterranean cruise with her
parents, Attorney and Mrs. Web
ster Atwell, and a party of college
friends. She died early Tuesday
despite the efforts of three doc
tors.
Two doctors, each representing
the steamship line, and five COM
pany officials boarded the Excali-
bur after she anchored.
One official, Allison Graham,
who identified himself as public
relations manager. told newsmen
that Capt. Samuel N. Groves of
Brooklyn, N. Y. gave him this ac-
count of the fall:
About O62O, Greenwich time,
last Saturday (2:20 am. EDIT
Miss Atwell and Mr.. Willard were
ascending the stairway between
decks. Witnesses reported they
were walking up the two-and-a-
half -foot-wide stairs nearly side
by side.
Fell to Promenade Deck.
When about halfway up, they
fell backward and landed on the
promenade deck.
The ships physician, DR.. S.
Robert Small of Los Angeles, re-
moved the couple to the ships
hospital. The girl was almost un-
conscious; Mr.. Willard was semi
conscious.
A radio message asking for oxy-
gen brought the Army hospital
ship, Comfort. to a rendezvous
with the liner.
1t. Col. John Luppins, neuro-
surgeon on the Comfort, came
aboard the Excalibur and joined
two physician-passengers, Drs.
David r. Telson of Brooklyn, N. Y,
and DR.. Stuart T. Ross of Passaic,
N. j., in helping DR.. Small.
The Army doctor later reported
Miss Atwell died from fractured
skull.
DR.. Small was quoted as saying
Mr.. Willard has suspected frac-
tured skull" but the principal in
jury is to the left eye.
Mr.. Willard, who was in a coma
for three days. was given a sed-
ative before being removed to the
cutter.
Sea Calm at Time.
Capt. Groves said the sea was
fairly calm at the time of the
couples fall.
Miss Atwell's father said the
accident was most inexplicable
since the sea was only mod
erately rough and the stairs were
those generally used by all the
passengers"

Paper Accused by U.S..
OF Ruling Ohio City;
Antitrust Case Opens
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

CLEVELAND, Nov. 15.-Gov-
ernment attorneys seeking an
antitrust injunction against the
Lorain Journal described the
paper today as a private gov
ernment which rules" the city OF
Lorain.
Victor H. Kramer, a Justice De-
partment attorney, said the paper
had punished" merchants who
advertised over radio station
WEOL and WEOL-FM in Elyria
near Lorain.
The government has accused
the paper and four of it's officers
of violating the Sherman Anti
trust Act. It charges them with
combining to restrain and monop-
olize the dissemination Of news,
and advertising.
Affidavits Presented.
Mr.. Kramer presented a batch
of affidavits from merchants in
the Lorain area as the hearing
Of the Governments civil action
opened in Federal Court.
The Journal is charged with re-
fusing to publish advertising of
business houses who advertise in
the Sunday News or over WEOL
and WEOL-FM.
Mr.. Kramer said the paper was
clearly engaged in interstate COM
merce and therefore comes under
the antitrust law. He declared
it received printing and other ma
terials from outside the State as
we'll as news and advertising.
He said the radio station S
broadcasts are heard outside the
State and that if the paper is
forcing customers to stop pur-
chasing radio advertising, it is re-
,straining interstate broadcasts.
Government Seeks Injunction.
Federal Judge Emerich Freed Is
hearing the case. The Cove n
ment is asking both temporary
and permanent injunctions, but
today's hearing is on the former.
The paper also is charged with
inducing the Elyria Chronicle
Telegram not to circulate in Lo-
rain.
In its answer the paper denied
that it entered into any Con
spiracies" and asserted its adver-
tising policy was aimed at pro-
tecting the Lorain market in the
interests of Lorain business firms.
The paper said cit has and
does" accept advertising Of those
who advertise in the Sunday News.
It pointed out, however, that it
may accept or reject "any adver-
tising it pleases for whatever rea-
son it pleases."
