The Italian Line announced Sunday night that there were two known dead. 13 "missing and presumed dead'' and 37 un accounted for among the passen gers of the lost liner. Two Stock holm crew mourners w ere known dead and three others were missing and prt.-umed dead. Bow Torn Off The figures from both ships gave a possible casualty total of 62. but the Italian Line ex pected to locate m.nre of the "unaccounted for" passengers. The bodies of some of the victims of the collision mav be entangled in the twisted remains of the Swedish liner's bow. The S'ockhoim, whose bow was torn off when it crashed with the Andrea Doria Wednesday night, is in drydock at the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Company for an estimate of damage prior to un dergoing repairs. A Bethlehem official look a United Press correspondent on a tour of the demolished area and indicated several places where bodies may lie beneath the wreckage. He indicated it was possible the three missing Stockholm crewmen are in the wreckage. He said it was pos sible, but not probable, that some of the Andrea Doria's passengers also might be located in the bow. Fear Passengers Trapped Italian Line officials said some of the passengers missing and presumed dead might have gone down with the Andrea Doria ' when it sank off Nantucket 1 Island Thursday morning after ; the biggest rescue in maritime history. They said the passengers might have been trapped below decks by water rushing into the : vessel or crushed in the collision. J Tiie number of those unac : counted for dwindled as em : ployees at the Italian Line office I in Manhattan revised their tabu- lations when they learned the whereabouts of missing passengers. Senators Ask Curb On Imports of Oil Washington (U.Ri Thirty one Democratic and Republican senators have appealed to the government for assurance that it will take action to limit oil imports to 16.6 per cent of do mestic production. The senators, in a letter to De fense Mobilizer Arthur S. Flem ming, said oil imports "have continuously exceeded" this ratio despite Flemming's efforts "to obtain a voluntary restraint on these imports through a num ber of appeals to the importing companies." "It is our further understand ing," the senators said, "that the future programs of these com panies . . . show greater excesses j in scheduled imports at a time j w hen domestic production is i being curtailed." It costs the Army S15D.29 to clothe an enlisted man when he enters the service. Mondar, Juty 30. 1956 MEDrORD (OREGOK) MAIL TRIBUNE THREB Unknown Virus Checked in Chicago Chicago (L'.P' Authorities were checking today to deter mine whether some unknown form of virus may be involved in the record outbreak of polio here this year. There have been 359 cases and nine deaths from the disease so far this year, compared with 66 cases and three deaths for the same period last year. The polio onslaught is the worst in the city since polio records first were kept in 1911. While authorities checked on the possibility of an unknown virus, they also hoped to find answers to why the outbreak oc curred earlier than in previous years and why some 50 per cent of the cases are in an area which contains only 16 per cent of the city's population. Most of the cases have occur red this year among children five years and younger, the group least inoculated with Salk polio vaccine. Experts believe an epidemic can be averted if all children in this age bracket and pregnant mothers receive inoculations. New York (J.R! John Laakso was found sleeping in the wrong bed Sunday and blam ed it all on a faulty memory. Gertrude Xeggesmith, 28, found the 42- year- old man in her bed when she arrived at her family's home. She awakened her father who called police. Laakso told the police he and his wife had moved so many times lately he couldn"t remem ber exactly where they lived.
