$38.5 Millions
Olympia, March 11 (IP) Motor
car accidents caused an econom
ic loss of $38,500,000 in Wash
ington last year, the state patrol
reported today.
At the same time the patrol
reported the motor car brought
its average bag of human beings
this month up to one a day yes
terday. The score hit 10 with
the deaths of John A. Howcroft,
Arlington; and Leslie Bill,
22, Wapato, as the result of traf
fic accidents.
The patrol reported 59,913
motor vehicle accidents were
reported in Washington last
year, 38,880 inside city limits.
Rural accidents, however, were
the most costly causing 300 of
the 440 deaths last year and $26,-
250,000 in economic loss.
It is discouraging to note that
more motor vehicle accidents
are occurring on the best roads,"
Patrol Chief James A. Pryde
said. The chief added that 54
per cent of the rural accidents
occurred "on straight and level
roads."
The patrol reported 65,445 city

Veto Looms on
Price Supports
Washington, March 11 VP)
Senate-house efforts to compro
mise differences over 1950 farm
price supports bumped i n t o a
prediction today of a presiden
tial veto.
Conferees yesterday reached a
tentative agreement on the multi-million
dollar price prop pro
gram for potatoes, cotton, pea
nuts and wheat.
However, Senate Democratic
Leader Lucas of Illinois told a
reporter he is confident Presi
dent Truman will veto the re
ported compromise if it ever
reaches his desk.
The agreement is subject to
another closed-door conference
and vote Monday because Lucas
and some other senate conferees
were absent from yesterday's
meeting.
During senate action on the
farm bill Lucas failed in an ef
fort to bar price props on this
year's potato crop unless farm
ers accepted rigid production
controls.
The senate did agree to apply
this provision to future potato
crops.
Conferees reported this pro
vision had been knocked out by
the conference committee in fa
vor of much milder controls ov
er 1950 and 1951 potato crops
eligible for price supports,

Tobermory is on the isle of
Mull off the west coast of Scot
land. The Spanish galleon is sup
posed to have been sunk off its
rock shore by an angry Scots
man after the Spaniards had re
fused to pay for supplies re
ceived from the islanders.
The Spanish ship is supposed
to have been one of the few of
the Spanish armada which sur
vived the disastrous beating
meted out by the English fleet
under Sir Francis Drake. The
survivors fled for home by way
of Ireland and Scotland.
