Oil Company
Stops Shipment
BUCHAREST (U.PJ One of Ro
mania's biggest oil companies
suspended shipments to Yugo
slavia last week, and Danube boat
service to Belgrade has been
stopped " for technical reasons,"
company officials disclosed Thurs
day. It was not known whether other
oil companies have discontinued
shipments to Yugoslavia under
current trade agreements since
the Cominform attack on the Tito
regime.
No reason was given by the
! oil company officials for the sus
i pension, and It could not be der
I termined whether it followed a
; direct order from the Romanian
j government, which has natlonal
lred the oil Industry.
Officials said the three times
; monthly boat service operated by
1 the Soviet-Romanian transport
.' company has been suspended
.! "until further notice" for "techni
:; eel easons" which were not ex
i plained.

ander W. Andrews, who taught a
Methodist Church Sunday school
class for 30 years, says he can

said. "I'll take ten."

quash the citation on grounds the
court had no jurisdiction.
Farmers were in the process of
cutting alta fescue grass for seed
purposes, but were forced to quit

County has a large acreage of this
crop and further rain would en
