American officials today were
studying the implications that
the attempt of a Romanian diplo-
mat to blackmail Oil Expert
Valeriu Georgescu into spying
for the Communists was a part
of a carefully laid plot.
From Mr. Georgescu's state
ment to reporters here yester-
day, it appeared that the prepa-
rationS dated back at least three
years. At that time. the oil mans
two sons were denied permission
to leave Romania, while other
persons in similar circumstances
were allowed to leave. The safety
of the two children was subse-
quently used as the bait for the
blackmail attempt.
At the same time, there was
some official head scratching
over what the Romanian Com
munists had on their mind when
they approached Mr.. Georgescu,
executive of the Standard Oil
Co., to serve them as a spy.
Spying Seen Only Meaning.
The expression used was "po-
litical collaboration" according
to Mr.. Georgescu's statement to
State Department officials. That.
said a State Department spokes-
man, could mean nothing else
than spying for the Romanians
against the United States.

Montana Avalanche

Two Men Are Killed:

Snow for 8 Hours
BY the Associated Press

GLACIER PARK, Mont, May
27.-Bloodhounds early today To-
Gated the body of a man buried
deeply in a pile of snow since
yesterday when an avalanche
showed a snow plow of a 1000
foot drop, killing two and injur-
ing two.
Searchers working through the
night with the dogs under glar-
ing portable light found the body
Of George Beaton, As. of West
Glacier, Mont, as they inched
through the treacherous slide.
Mr.. Beaton's cap was found
last night at about the same time
rescuers dug out Eugene Michael
Sullivan, also of West Glacier,
who had been entombed for more
than eight hours by the tum-
bling SHOWS. He said he saw Mr..
Beaton standing by the plow as
the avalanche crashed down.
The men were working to open
Glacier National Parks Going

travel.
William Whitford, As, an In
dian from West Glacier, was
killed as the bounding, rolling
snow mass smashed over the
snowplow he was driving, crush
ing it and scattered parts over a
three-quarter-mile area.
The Indian and Frederick E.
Klein, 81, of Sleepy Eye, Mimi,
were found 500 feet from the
scenic highway.
Mr.. Klein and Mr.. Sullivan
were taken to a hospital at Kali

park. The Minnesota man suf-
fered multiple fractures and was
reported in critical condition.
Despite his ordeal, Mr.. Sullivan

Utilities Seizure Law
Upheld in Virginia
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, May o7.-
A Richmond judge toda' up
held the validity of Virginia S
public utilities seizure law, chal-
lenged by an American FEEDER
alton of Labor bus drivers
union.
Judge Harold F. Snead, of
Richmond circuit court, held
that the statute "is not in con-
flict with the laws of the United
States and is not repugnant to
the Constitution of the United
States and the Constitution of
Virginia and is valid"
The case arose out of the seiz-
ure by the State late last year
of the Washington, Virginia &
Maryland Coach Co. (Arnold

line for about two months.
The union, the Amalgamated
Association of Street Electric
Railway and Motor Coach EN-
ployes of America, asked a
permanent injunction against
similar seizures in the future, 4"
and attacked the constitutional
ity of the law. Judge Snead,
denied the petition for injunc-

against Gov. Battle and six

Police Halt Freight Train

A possible train wreck was
avoided early today by Mont

a 100-car freight train with a
broken brake rigging which could
have derailed the cars.
The fast Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad freight was stopped at
Rockville with flares set out by
a police cruiser. The train had
tipped through Garrett Park be-
fore another police car could flag
it.

ever. That one stripped trees
and plants, unroofed houses and
broke 1000 panes of glass in
what was then called the Gov
ernment greenhouse. Hailstones,
The Star reported, were six
inches in diameter and "it was
not difficult to make up a pound
weight from 10 of them"
The Kensington (Md.) Fire
Department said lightning struck
close to a 27-year-old woman in
the 5000 block of Medford street,
Ken Gar, Md, but she was not
hurt and left the scene.
The District forecaSter said the
storm arose from a cold front.
He said the hail stones were

possibly the biggest ever known
to fall in Washington.
Explains Growing Size.
He said drops of water in the
thunderhead probably rose to
freezing levels because of up
drafts. Their added weight
caused them to fall. Then the
stones rose again because of the
updrafts, gaining in size as they
froze. After this had happened
several times, they acquired their
menacing size, with irregularity
in shape resulting from collisions
between the stones and imme-
diate freezing.
Their size was a definite sub
ject of interest to the residents
of the city. Hundreds of them
called newspapers to say the
stones were as big as golf balls
in some instances. They also
were "as big as coconuts" or

A Hash thunderstorm, which
brought with it hail stones aver
aging a clenched fist in size, tore
through a large part of the Dis
trict and nearby Maryland late
yesterday, leaving behind six in
jured, at least 1900 broken win
