Lucas Doubts State

If President Truman decides te

siolal leaders tomorrow, Senate
Majority Leader Lucas doubts
that any new legislation to carry
it out would be needed in the clos
ing days of this Congress.
Senator Lucas said. however
that if new legislation is found
necessary it will be forthcoming.
After discussing the subject al
a closed conference of all Demo
cratic Senators, Senator Lucas
pointed out that the Defense Pro-
duction Act and other existing
laws already give Mr.. Truman
broad emergency powers. He said
that If the proclamation is issued
it will be primarily to crystalize
public opinion behind whatever
steps may be taken under existing
laws.
G. o. p. Suggestion Rejected.
The only definite action taken
by the Democratic conference was
to turn down a Republican sug-
gestion that some of the Senate
committees be enlarged in the
new Congress in order to give all
new Senators at least one impor-
tant assignment.
Senator Lucas said the Demo-
Gratis were unanimous in the con-
clusion that to grant the request
would lead to changes every two
years in the La Toilette -Monroney

Mr.. Taft told reporters, how

such q declaration.
At the same time, there was Of

the congressional conference.
Senator George was added to

Senator johnson said an emer-

Senator Lucas said he is plug

Texas Gov. Allan Shivers sale

''fuel dictator" to regulate uses
of oil and gas.
Gov. Shivers said the mosi
apparent motive behind the plar
is manipulation of fuel uses te
the advantage of the coal indus
try in its competitive race with
oil and gas.
'This preposterous idea is being
seriously advocated again in the
high counsels of our Government
he told the opening session of the
18th meeting of the Interstate
Oil Compact Commission.
Senators Studying Plan.
Official representatives from 20
oil producing States attended the
meeting.
Gov. Shivers said the Senate In
terror Committee now is max
ing a study of the Nations fuel
supplies with an eye toward
drafting a policy for regulating
how and where these fuels will be
used"
Control of final uses Of oil and
gas, he said, would mean the end
of effective State conservation
programs.
IF by administrative whim. po-
litical expediency, or any reason
an authority decreed that only
coal should be burned under the
boilers of many of our power
plants and factories" he asked
what would be the disposition OF
the sizable quantities of fuel oils
that have found a market in such
furnaces?
McMath Backs State Control.
ITO keep down the obvious waste
that would result from the denial
of this use of oil, perhaps the next
step would be to cut the produc-
ton of crude oils, with result
ing scarcity of gasoline"
Arkansas Gov. Sidney S. Nc
Math, in responding on behalf of
the compact to Gov. Shivers'
speech, said there are instances
wherein Federal assistance is "in-
valuable" but that conservation
of oil and gas is the duty of State
governments.
Gov. McMath said conservation
programs and statutes are being
prepared by several States which

ice Studying Action
Against Engineer in
Troop Train Wreck
BY the Asseeiaied Press

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 1.-THE
Interstate Commerce Commission
today weighed the possibility of
punitive action against a 68-year-
old engineer who testified he ran
his crack passenger train through
a stop signal shortly before it
struck a stalled troop train.
The Pennsylvania Railroad en-
gineer, William E. Eller. told a
joint inquiry yesterday that the
Spirit of st. Louis passed a stop
signal just before striking the
troop train last Monday near
Coshocton, Ohio.
Mr.. Eller also guessed" his ex-
press train was running at about
so miles per hour at the time of
the crash in which SO members of
PennSylvania's recently Federal
lied 28th Division were killed.
More than so other soldiers on
the troop train were hurt but no
one on the passenger express was
injured.
Tape Showed Speed.
B. w. johnson. a road foreman
Of engines, testified the recorded
tape taken from Mr.. Eller's
smashed diesel indicated the train
was running about 20 miles an
hour shortly before the mishap
and about so miles an hour "in-
mediately before the crash"
The inquiry was conducted joint
ly by the ICC, the railroad, the
Ohio Public Utility Commission
and the Army.
ICC Commissioner w. j. Patter-
son declared:
when we get the record re-
port will be written and made
public. If it turns out any law
was violated that is administered
by the commission, then we will
take punitive action"
Army to Submit Report.
Col. George w. Haley, repre-
senting the Army department
operations Of railroads, said he
also will submit a report.
AS the hearing ended, the Army
made ready to take home its SOL
der dead. Bodies of the 80 vic
Tins, all from the Wilkes Barre
area, were placed aboard a special
train which left West Lafayette,
Ind, early today.
The train stopped at Coshocton
where a special military escort
from Camp Atterbury, Ind. came
aboard. An officer was in charge
of the 33-man detail, one for each
coffin. The train was scheduled
to arrive at Wilkes Barre at 100
pm. today.
Engineer Tells Story.
Mr.. Eller, who has been under
a doctors care since the tragedy,
testified in almost a whisper. A
spare and CRAVING man, he told
his story slowly. Here it is:
He was % minutes late when
the Spirit of st. Louis pulled out
of Pittsburgh.
Everything proceeded fine until
the train reached Mingo, juno
ton, Ohio. -
There, a railroad dispatcher
used the two-way radio-telephone
to tell Mr.. Eller to take a siding
at Whitaker because Of freight
train.
1--WE got through the siding and
came out On the main line" Mr..
Eller related. 81 was 80 minutes
late"
Says He "TOok 1t Slow"
The engineer said he knew the
18th Division traih was ahead of
him and took it slow to allow
the troop train to get a good
start
After the troop train had gone
ahead, Mr.. Filler added, my cab
signals picked up the clear"

equipped with a device which
