while experts inspected the
shaft before deciding on the
next step.
Gordon Smith, assistant

they might continue for a little
way at the 26-inch width, but
one driller said he thought this
was as deep as they would 60
with this bit.
The drillers pulled the 26-
inch bit out of the ground for
the inspection. This was Just
before noon.
Interruption Planned
The plans. as laid down in
advance of the start of the en-
larging work, called for the 26-
inch drilling to stop around the
35 or As foot level.
At that time, the experts
were to decide whether to go on
from this point with a drill
slightly smaller-24 inches in
diameter-or a 17-inch drill.
The hole is IL inches in dia-
meter the rest of the way.
The best estimate of those in
charge was that it would be

The House Commerce Com
mittee has approved a sharply
cut version of a bill to provide
new medical and dental schools.
A program Of matching
grants for construction Of new
medical and dental colleges and
Of existing ones
would be slashed to a total of
$3.50 million over a three-year
period.
Also provided would be a
three-year $30.6 million pro-
gram of student loans, with an
additional open end provision
for the following three years
providing such funds as may
be needed" for students already
in the program to complete
their four-year training.
Up to half Of these loans
would be forgiven" If the stu
dent went into practice In a
doctor shortage area or worked
in public agency.
A bill to provide a $755 mil
lion 10-year construction pro-
gram and a $72.3 million five
year student loan program died
in the House last year. Medical
authorities had testified that
this much was needed to pro-
vide 20 new medical schools by
1870 which would simply main
tain the present ratio Of doc

The Justice Department an
nounced the indictment today
Of the Great Atlantic 81 Pacific
Tea Co., Inc, and H. p. Hood
g. Sons of Boston on charges
Of trying to force out Of busi-
ness dealers selling milk at
cheaper prices than Hood.
A department spokes man
said the charges were contained
in an indictment returned by
a Federal grand jury in Boston.
Hood, New England's biggest
milk wholesaler, was accused
Of illegally cutting prices, be-
low cost in some areas, TO de-
stroy competition from jug
handlers"-dealers selling milk
in gallon and half -gallon jugs.
Named in 2 Counts
Hood and A6SP, whose head
quarters is In New York City.
were named as defendants in
two of the six counts of the in
dictm emit, the department
spokesman said.
One count charged conspiracy
to restrain trade and the other
charged conspiracy to monop-
Ollie. Both counts involve the
Sherman Antitrust Act.
Hood was charged alone in
the other four counts. One
charged an attempt to monop-
ollie milk sales under the
Sherman Act and three charged
violations Of the Robinson-Pat-
man Act against predatory
pricing.
Secret Rebates Noted
One of the Robinson-Patman
counts accused Hood Of trying
to eliminate Cumberland Farms,
a major highlander, as a COM
petitor.
The other two counts under
the Robinson-Patman law ac-
cused Hood of giving discrimi-
natory discounts to milk re-
tailers located near Cumberland
stores and giving special secret
rebates to APP.
The maximum penalty for
each defendant would be a $780,
900 for each count under the
Sherman Act and 5000 for
each Robinson-Patman count.
The Government said the
alleged conspiracy to monop-
Ollie the greater Boston milk
market was aimed at cornering
an annual business of $40 mil
lion or the sale Of $50 million
quarts of milk.
