Woman Claims Il Miles
OF Delaware CoasfIine
By the Associated Press

HARTFORD. Conn.,. May o.
A West Hartford woman last
night claimed ownership of a
narrow strip of land which
makes up most of the coastline
of Delaware, second smallest
State in the Union. n.
Mrs. Viola DaiSey Wienski
told i1ewsmen she is taking to
Delaware State attorneys next
month evidence that she owns
nearly IL miles of Delaware's
coast, south of Rehoboth. The
strip, she said, is a quarter mile
wide. She based her claim on
old land grants and family wills
she said she has been gathering
since 1945.
Mrs. Wienski, a former STU
dent of the Hartford College of
Law, said she even has land
grants issued by William Penn.
She said she is a descendant OF
Thomas Darcy, one of the first
Huguenot settlers.
She explained that, although
some building has been done on
the coastal land, no one has
been able to acquire clear title
to any of it because of the
ancient colonial grants and that.
since 1850, Delaware statutes
have prohibited adverse possess
sion" acquiring ownership of
land because of long occupancy

Bus Union TO Appeal
Seizure Ruling 10
Virginia sHigh Court

RICHMOND, Va, May ga
test case of Virginia's public
utilities seizure law will be sought
in the State Supreme Court.
The AFL Motor Coach Union
plans to appeal decision of
Richmond Circuit Court yester-
day upholding the constitution
atty of the law by which the
State may seize and operate
public utilities.
eve plan to carry the case all
the way to the United States
Supreme Court if necessary"
said I. j. Gromfine. an attorney
for the union.
Cites Invasion by State.
The union petitioned the Rich
mond court to declare the law
unconstitutional on grounds the
State had invaded a field Of
labor legislation which the Fed
eral Government had reserved
for itself under the Taft Hart
ley Act.
The unions suit was an out
growth of a strike of bus drivers
at the washington, Virginia and
Maryland Coach Co.-known as
the Arnold Lines-which serves
the ArIington- Alexandria area.
The State seized the bus firms
facilities last December after the
strike started and maintained
skeleton service.
Says Seizure Ends Strike.
Mr.. Gromfne said State seiz-
ure means the end of a strike.
When the Commonwealth steps
in, he argued, the employer is re-
moved from the effects of the
strike and, in effect, is protected
by the State.
He also contended that once
seizure has been carried out,
management no longer shows
good faith and displays a COM
promising spirit in collective
bargaining.
Attorney General j. Lindsay
Almond. jr., defended the act by
saying it does not impede the
right to strike or to carry on
negotiations toward an amicable
settlement.

Williams Asks Probe
.0f Kaiser-Frazer
Merger With Willis

Senator Williams, Republican,
of Delaware, asked the Senate
today to investigate the merger
of the Kaiser-Frazer Corp. with
the Willis Overland Motors, Inc,
charging that the RFC failed to
protect the Governments inter-
est under loans to the Kaiser in
sterestS.
The Senator criticized former
Treasury Secretary Snyder and
former RFC Administrator Harry
A. Mcdonald.
He said his own preliminary
examination has convinced him
that the Government els the
loser by several million dollars
under the proposed merger
agreement" He suggested az
appropriate Senate committee go
further into the matter.
Senator Williams charged that:
/. The RFC released $40 mil
lion worth Of Government bonds
which had been placed as col
lateral for outstanding Kaiser
obligations, in exchange for a
SIS million payment on the
notes.
2. The RFC agreed to waive
practically all payments upon
the principal of their obliga-
tions for the next three years
and allow the Kaiser-Frazer-
Willis Overland group to use all
cash accumulated during this
period toward paying off the
stockholders of the two con-
Germs"
Senator Williams also assert
ed that the merged interests
expect to cancel, under existing
tax laws, the earnings of Willis
Overland against accumulated
losses of about $50 million by
Kaiser-Frazer enterprises. The
Senator figured this would mean
a tax savings Of SIS million.
Senator Williams told the
Senate that Mr.. Snyder was a
member of the policy board of
RFC, and that nine days after
leaving the Government he be-
came a vice president of Willis
Overland.

Fenwick 10 Discuss
SANKEY'S Record in
Broadcasts Tonight
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND, May Estate
Senator Charles r. Fenwick
goes on television and radio here
tonight with the promise to take
a sharper look at the record of
his gubernatorial opponent.
In recent weeks. Mr.. Fenwick
has been jabbing criticism at
former Representative Thomas
B. Stanley for what he has
labeled Mr., Stanley's record of
"inaction" while in Congress.
The Arlington lawmaker has
also accused Mr.. Stanley of
timidity in speaking out on the
issues of the Governors race and
of avoiding joint speaking en-
gagements with Mr.. Fenwick.
To "Open Stanley Record"
A spokesman for Mr.. Fenwick
said he will open the Stanley
record and read the second leaf
from Mr.. Stanley's background
in public life" in his speech over
TV and radio tonight.
"Since Mr.. Stanley refuses to
tell the people what his record
has been, Senator Fenwick is
forced to disclose his opponents
record and lack OF qualifications
to serve as Governor" said the
spokesman.
Mr.. Stanley, meantime, de-
Tended his nine-year record in
Congress in a speech to cam
paign workers in Covington last
night.
The fact he was elected three
times without opposition shows
that my people felt that I was
doing the job" he said.
Mr.. Fenwick yesterday COM
pleted a three-day transforming
tour of the 4th District. He adj
dressed the Norfolk Women's
Democratic Club last night.
Accused of DOdging.
Earlier yesterday Mr.. Fen
wick's headquarters accused Mr..
Stanley of lodging public ques-
ton periods either because he
does not know enough about
State affairs to meet the people
face to face or because he is
afraid to take a stand on the
issues of the campaign"
Meanwhile three weekly news
papers published at Warrenton,
Leesburg and Manassas came
out yesterday in support of Mr..
Stanley.
The Fauquier Democrat, the
Loudoun Times Mirror and the
Prince William County Journal
Messenger published editorials
in which they announced their
support. The three papers are
published by a group headed by
Hubert B. Phipps of Warrenton.

1t was noted that on October
"a. 1851, the Panamanian gov
eminent ordered cancellation -
the Perico'S registry. The sub
committee has received testi-
mony that the State Department
made formal representations to
the Panamanian government
which resulted in cancellation of
the registry of ship.
AS for the Miramar, the State
Department reported that this
ship was placed under Panaman-
ian registry in 1949 and that
