China Reds Reported
Crossing Into Burma
By the Associated Press

RANGOON, Burma, Nov. 15.-
The newspaper Rangoon Daily
said today Chinese Communist
troops had crossed into the north
ern tip of Burma in an apparent
drive toward invaded Tibet from
the south.
(This dispatch gave no in
dication that the newspaper dis
patch was confirmed by official
SourcesO
The newspaper said forntier
authorities had reported to the
government the Chinese had
penetrated so miles and were
pushing toward the northernmost
city of Putao. The authorities
were said to have asked the gov
ernment for strong security
measures.
Such drive would be a round
ibout way of approaching the
Himalayan country the Chinese
Reds have undertaken to lib
srate."
Two main passes linking Burma
With Tibet are more than $4,000
ind $4,000 feet high. The one
eading from near PuUao would
sross first through the north
asternmost tip of the Indian

Ferguson Predicts
Closer Ties in Senate
On Foreign Policy
Believes Bipartisan Setup
Will Be Aided by Cut
In Democratic Muroin
By J. A. OIeory

A prediction that Republican
gains in the Senate will make for
closer cooperation between the
major parties on foreign policy
came today from Senator Fergu-
son. Republican, of Michigan.
He based his optimistic outlook
on the fact that the close Senate
division in January will prompt
the administration to consult
more, with the Republican leader
ship. The new Senate will stand
at 40 Democrats and Al Republi-
cans, whereas now there are 81
Democrats and 40 Republicans.
He also is counting on the
closer ratio on the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee to encourage CO.
operation between the majority
and minority. The committee
will change from 8 Democrats
and 5 Republicans to a 7-6 ratio.
Bridges May Get 1852 Post.
Meanwhile, the Republican high
command was reported to be con-
sidering Senator Bridges of New
Hampshire to head the Senate
rial Campaign Committee for 1852,
post now held by Senator
Brewster of Maine.
Senator Brewster will have to
run for reelection in 1862, and
the Craftsmanship of the COM
mittee appointed to help elect a
Republican Senate always goes to
Senator who is not running. The
Republicans will want to make an
early start on their planning for
1852, because the geographical
location of seats at stake that
year will make it tougher for the
Republicans to capture more
Democratic seats.
Although the Republicans will
need net gain of only two to
take over the Senate in the next
election. there will be fewer States
in which they can look for gains
than was the case this year.
Democrats to Risk IL Seats.
In 1852 there will be 20 seats
now occupied by Republicans at
stake, while the Democrats will
be risking only H. On the Demo-
cratic side, 5 of the 1852 contests
will be in the solid South, which

Clash When Truck
Enters Cable Yurd

Fists flew in the telephone strike
today when management person.
mel attempted to back a truck
through a picket line in front Of
the Chesapeake g. Potomac cable
yard at Kendall and Okie streets
NE.
The first outbreak here in the
week-old Western Electric strike
occurred at $50 am. Union
spokesmen said the trucks trailer
hit a picket, knocking him down.
after which he was beaten with
fists.
About two hours later the truck
returned and despite the presence
of police, pickets swarmed over
the truck, beating one of the
management men, Guy Staats, 81.

Two policemen on the scene

Company Version of Fight.
Company spokesmen would not
release the names of the manage
ment workers, but gave this ver-
sion of the first attack:
Four men were in the cable
truck as it reached the yard. Two
of them alighted to guide the
truck through the gate as it
backed in.
The pickets began shouting at
the truck crew, using "vile and
abusive language, the kind no.
body would take sitting down"
With that, one of the truck crew
struck a picket. knocking him
down, and as a second picket
came up, he, too was struck.
After the second outburst,

Making Many Changes
In Enforcement Setup

Chairman Davis of the House
District Crime Subcommittee will
introduce a bill setting sitter pen
alties for criminal violations here

when Congress reconvenes, 1t was
learned today.
The bill has been prepared by
the subcommittee staff over the
last few months. The proposals
are much sitter than had been
expected.
The proposal. according to sub
committee officials, would provide
life imprisonment for habitual
criminals, stricter punishment of
second and third offenders, aban-
donment of inquests by the coro-
ner's Office. major revision of the
probation and parole system and
far heavier penalties for prostitu-

U.S.ConsidersC Ceiling
On 0ctane Content Of
Commercial Gasoline
Proposed Action Designed
To EstobIish STANDARD
For Future Orders
By Fruneis ?. DouqIos

The Petroleum Administration
for Defense has under discussion
a proposal to put ceilings on the
octane content of commercial
gasoline, it was learned today.
Since the octane rating of gas
oline sold by different producers
varies slightly. a ceiling order
would have a varying effect. A
PAD spokesman said such ar
order may cut the octane con-
tent of some high octane motor
fuel by one Of two points, while
conceivably some producers
would be able to raise the rating
of their gasoline and still be un-
der the ceiling.
The proposed order was de-
scribed as a step toward stand
ardization to establish a base fol
future orders should they become
necessary. What savings woulc
accrue would be chiefly in tetra.
ethyl lead and alkylates, which
are used to boost the octane rating
of gasoline.
Warning Ironed Out.
Warning was given in Septem.
ber that motorists could expect
lower octane gasoline. This wa.
not because of any shortage o.
gasoline itself but rather because
of an uneven distribution of alky'
lates for which there was a large
demand for the production of mil.
itary aviation gasoline.
Subsequently this was ironec
out, and instead of an octane re.
duction being ordered. the octant
rating of some motor fuels wa!
reported to have been increased
slightly.
The Government has no infor-
nation on the octane content o1
motor fuels at present. The Blu.
reau of Mines has figures showing
that, last winter, high test motor
fuel had an 80 octane rating
while regular gasoline was 82.4
In the last winter of World Wal
II, the ratings were respectively
80.5 and 74.2.
Needs Under Discussion.
A subcommittee of the Military
Petroleum Advisory Board is meet.
ing now in Los Angeles to discus.

Series Of Explosions
Rocks Big Refinery al
Port Arthur, Tex.
Three Men Injured, One
Critically, in Blasts Set
OFF by Escaping Cos
BY the Associoied Press

PORT ARTHUR, Tex. Nov. Is.
"A series of seven explosions
rocked a sprawling oil refinery
near this Gulf Coast city early
today. Three men were injured,
one critically.
The blasts set off fires which
were brought under control about
8 am. and extinguished about
two hours later.
The huge refinery and tank farm
belongs to the Gulf Oil Corp. OF
Houston. A company spokesman
said the explosions and fire begar
as escaping gas struck a fire box
Marvin Swinney, AZ. was crit.
ically burned. Lawrence Francis
40, suffered minor burns. r. T.
Smith, So, injured an ankle when
he was knocked down by concus-
sion.
The refinery is only 20 miles up
the Texas coast from the site of
the ,1947 Texas City disaster in
which more than 500 persons were
killed.
Plant May Reopen Monday.
The explosions forced Gulf to
close down it's huge catalytic
cracking unit. vital in processing
petroleum for aviation gasoline.
The firm said the unit may .be
back in operation Monday or
Tuesday. The huge refinery can
process up to 100000 barrels of
oil daily.
The first blast came at 1874
am. in what is called the pressure
still area, where high pressure is
applied to oil.
Two other men were given first
aid treatment and released. The
company did not identify them.
The blasts awoke this shipping
city of $1,000 people and cracked
plate glass windows in a super
market AZ miles from the re-
f1nery. Port Arthur's city limits
come within a half mile of the
refinery.
Firemen from Beaumont,
Orange, Port Neches and Port
Arthur combined forces. The
out-of-town firemen were delayed
reaching the refinery because of
a heavy. low-hanging fog over
the Gulf Coast area.
Roodc RIoobo5oJ
State highway patrolmen block
AIDED roads a half mile from en-
frances to the plant.
About 300 miles southwest of
Port Arthur another refinery fire
continued to burn today.
Monday night a 10,OO0-barrel
crude oil tank at the Danaho re-
f1nery tank farm near Pettus, Tex,
was ignited by lightning. Despite
an all-night fight. firemen were
unable to keep the flames from
spreading to two 1,0O0-barrel
tanks. Yesterday, a second 1O,-
000-barrel tank burst into flames.
The fight continued early today
and firemen feared the second
tank might collapse and spill
flaming oil over the entire tank
farm.
Bulldozers were used to build
a protective earth wall between
the blazing tanks and a ravine
and creek which lead from the
farm to the town of Pettus, about
70 miles northwest of Corpus
Christi.
