of the sea when the liner col
lided with the Swedish ship.
Stockholm.
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.

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.
