Gunmen Escape
After Slugging
3 Brink's Guards
$15,000 Payroll Taken
In Morning Robbery
Thompsonville, Conn., May 12
(U.R) Four gunmen wearing air
raid warden masks slugged three
armed guards of Brinks, Inc.,
early today and escaped with a
$15,000 factory payroll.
The robbery was staged about
100 miles from the scene of the
SI. 500,000 holdup of Brink's Bos
ton headquarters January 17.
Boston detectives scoffed at the
idea that it might be the same
gang's work.
Crew Ambushed
The bandits crept into the fac
tory of the Bigelow-Sanford Car
pet company before dawn and
ambushed the Brink's armored
car crew when it arrived at 5:05
.a.m. with the payroll for 300
night shift workers.
Another Brink s crew was
scheduled to arrive later in the
day from Springfield, Mass., with
some $150,000 more for super
visory employees and workers
on the other two shifts.
State police established road
blocks throughout northern Con
necticut and an alarm was is
sued for a Massachusetts-regis
tered automobile seen in the vi
cinity of the factory which is
within two miles of the state bor
der. Police surrounded the factory
in belief the bandits were trapp
ed inside, but later abandoned
the project when it appeared the
gunmen had fled over a fence.
Head Injuries Suffered
John Truhell, Orville Latin
ville and Joseph Flowers, the
three Brinks guards who were to
have paid off the night shift at
6 a.m., suffered minor head in
juries when they were slugged
with the revolver butts of the
bandits.
All three were hospitalized at
Wesson Memorial hospital in
Springfield. Physicians said none
was hurt seriously and that all
three would be discharged dur
ing the day.
Truhell said the four bandits
swarmed into a small office after
the guards within a few seconds
after the Brink s men carried the
payroll into the room. The mon
ey, contained in individual pay
envelopes was in metal boxes.
"I looked up and just about
that time I was hit by some
thing," Truhell said. "I fell to
the floor. When I came to, my
hands and feet were tied. It must
have been done in a hurry be
cause it didn't take me long to
wriggle out of the ropes."
Leaving Latinville and Flow
ers, who were bound but con
sciout, Truhell ran to the fac
tory guardhouse and informed
the two company security offi
cers of the robbery.
Last Equalization
Board Meet Saturday
Tomorrow morning will be
the final opportunity this year
for discontented taxpayers to
protest, officially, if they feel
the assessed valuation on their
property is too high.
The countv board of equaliza
tion will meet at 11 a. m. (DST)
Saturday for the last time. Al
ready they have heard more
complaints from taxpayers than
in many years in the past. The
meetings of the board are nor
mally attended only by members
of the board, but this year the
taxpayers apparently remem
bered last fall's tax dispute when
their protests came too late to
accomplish much.
They were told at that time
that the board of equalization
was the proper place to lodge
complaints and more than 30
have been heard so far this week.
There have been fewer written
i applications for redress, how
ever, since many of the com
plaints were based on misunder
standing. Budenz Attacked
By New Mexico Solon
Washington. May 12 U.R1
Sen. Dennis Chavez (D N. M.)
attacked Louis F. Budenz today
as an ex-bigamist and conspir
ator who uses the Catholic
church as a "shield" behind
which he attacks the American
wav of life.
Budenz is the one-time com
munist editor who renounced the
party in 1945 and rejoined the
Catholic church. He was a star
witness for the government in
last year's trial of communist
leaders in New York, and for
Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy in the

Warnings Result of
Rising Temperatures
Portland, Ore., May 12 (U.R)
Warmer northwest temperatures
this week brought floods, water
shortages, and fire warnings into
the news today.
The U. S. weather bureau said
the Snake river at Lewiston

day. Control Work Underway
During the evening the river
began rising not from melting
snow but because of the re
lease of additional water at
Grand Coulee dam.
Jack Rogers, director of con
servation and development in
Washington state, said in Olym
pia that emergency flood con
trol work already was going on
in Okanogan county on the
Okanogan and Twisp rivers to
meet expected spring floods
next month.
In California, the division of
water resources said Shasta
dam north of Redding had the
most water storage behind it in
history. However, a water short
age threatened in the San Joa
quin valley. Deficiencies of wat

There is more snow in the Co

there was two years ago, when
disastrous floods destroyed the
war-born city of Vanport at the
north edge of Portland, McKay
said, but experts watching the
situation hope the runoff in all
areas won't be so simultaneous
as it was then.
A crest of 25 to 26 feet at
Portland is forecast. That would
be a couple of feet under the
peak that smashed through Van-
port, then subsequently washed
over Portland Meadows, the Al-

finally the Portland airport and
adjacent army airport.

Truman Denounces
Taft-Hartley Law
In Butte Address
Must Erase Statute,
President Declares
Aboard Truman Train. May 12
(U.R) President Truman today
denounced the Taft-Hartley la
bor law as "a substantial in
fringement of the basic freedom
to bargain collectively."
Working eastward from the
Pacific northwest. Mr. Truman
selected Butte, Mont., to blast
the labor law which he has used
fremientlv tn pnnp with natinn-
! wide strikes, but which he has
! vowed repeatedly to wipe from
the nation s statutes.
Threatens To Destroy
"The Taft-Hartley law hangs
over the head of labor, Mr. Tru
man said, "threatening to de
stroy the gains of 15 years. There
it will hang until we are able
to replace it with a law that is
favorable to management and
labor alike."
The president said:
"That is something we must
do not only for the sake of la
bor, but for the sake of the
whole country. I believe pro
foundly that the Taft-Hartley
law is a substantial infringement
of the basic freedom to bargain
collectively. I will not cease to
fight for its repeal."
Mr. Truman crossed the Idaho
Montana border late last night.
His train paused for several
hours outside Missoula, then
went on to Butte. He scheduled
nearly a dozen other Montana
speeches during the day, includ
ing a 20-minute rear platform
appearance at Helena.
The president confessed disap
pointment over the failure of
congress to expand social secu
rity coverage in closer conform
ance with his recommendations.
But he said he was confident
"that the congress will complete
action at this session on legisla
tion which will do much to rem
edy these shortcomings."
The president also stoutly sup
ported: '
1. A modernized unemploy
ment insurance program with
benefit payments "brought up to
date with today's prices."
2. More federally supported
housing for middle income fami
lies. (Ste story on page 6)

7 OIL PRODUCERS
FACE CHARGES IN
ANTI-TRUST SUIT
West Coast Companies
In Government Action
Los Angeles, May 12 (UP) The government
filed an anti-trust suit today against the seven major
west coast oil producers and asked the courts to force
them out of the business of retailing gasoline and
other petroleum products.
In one of the most inclusive anti-trust actions
ever filed, the department of justice accused the
seven producers and their voluntary conservation
committee, through which they limit daily California
crude oil production, of setting up a monopoly.
Named as defendants were the Standard Oil
company of California, the Texas company, Shell Oil
company, Tidewater-Associated Oil company, Rich
field Oil Corp., General Petroleum Corp. and Union
Oil company of California.
The eighth defendant was the conservation com
mittee of California Oil Foducers, a committee
through which the government accused the producers
of combining to limit the amount of crude oil pumped
daily in California.
The civil suit asked the court to require the seven
companies to cease selling gasoline and other refined
products except for wholesaling their products at vo.
fineries and marine terminals.
Companies Required To Dispose
Of Bulk Of Retail Stations
it also demanded that they be required to dispose of the bulk
of their retail service stations.
It accused them of monopolizing production, transportation, '
refining, and marketing of crude oil and refined producta in the
five western states, which it described as a "self-contained area"
for the production and refining of petroleum products.
Ninety per cent of the petroleum refined in the west alto is
consumed in the west, and virtually no petroleum producta are
either imported or exported to the area, the suit said.
Filing of the comprehensive action against the $3,500,000,000
California oil industry climaxed a two-year investigation conducted
by William C. Dixon, west coast head of the anti-trust division for
the department of justice.
Methods Cited
Assistant United States Attorney General Herbert Bergson,
head of the anti-trust division, flew to Loi Angeles to direct the
filing in person.
The suit specified the following methods by which the com
panies were alleged to have established a monopoly:
1. Limiting the amount of crude oil independent companies
produce through the conservation committee.
2. Coercing independents to adhere to production auotai as
signed.
f . Refusing to let independents use pipelines on the same
terms as were granted to the major producers.
4. Eliminating competition by nurchasing assets of Independent
refineries and inducing them to d tmantle.
Production Quotas Charged
5. Fixing production quotas of wells owned by Independent
refiners so low that they deprived the independent firms of sup
plies needed to meet their demand then refusing to sell them ad
ditional crude oil.
8. Making reciprocal exchanges of crude oil among them
selves, but not with the independents.
7. fleciiiirlng wholesalers and retailers to handle products ot
the Individual major companies exclusively.
The following public statement was made by Robert L. Mlnck
ler, president of General Petroleum Corp., Los Angeles, in response
to a suit filed today by the anti-trust division of the department of
Justice:
"General Petroleum is not part of any monopoly group or
conspiracy to restrain trade. We conduct our business in a lawful
and honorable manner.
"We will resist these untruthful charges against us with all
our strength. We will supply our employees and friends with
further facts when we have had an opportunity to study the com
plaint. . .
General Petroleum Corp. produces, manufactures and market
petroleum products in the seven western states.
