GENOA, March 13 (JPh-Two
heavy explosions aboard the
American motorship Edmund
Fanning at her dock here today
were reported to have killed
one man and injured 10 of her
crew of 60 and left ner in
flame.
The prow of the vessel was
badly damaged. There was no
immediate explanation of the
b Is ts '
(Lloyd's' register of shipping
lists the Edmund Fanning as a
7176-ton vessel built in 1943 and
registered out of Los Angeles).
The dead man was identified
officially as Mike Monical, a
native of Hoboken, N. J. Among
the injured was one American,
Melvin Bringf ield, 22, who sus
tained a spinal injury.
Committee Tables : .
Slot Machine Tax
SALEM, March 13 (ft The
house assessment and taxation
committee today tabled a pro
posal to levy a 30 per cent tax
on gross receipts of 6lot ma
chines, pinball games and
punch-boards, regardless of their
illegality.
The bill, by Rep. Giles L.
French, Moro, would give 60
per cent of the revenue to the
state general fund, and 40 per
cent to counties and cities.
Mexican Stotking
Plants To Close
MEXICO CITY, March 13 UP) j
Mexican stocking factories have
petitioned the federal labor
board for permission to close
temporarily because the market
is saturated. '
The petitions said the local
factories were unable to com-,
pete with imported stockings
which with local production
have tended to force the price
down..
a critical time element is in
volved in at least two phases
of this general question:
1 Should the planned aver
age strength for the year be
ginning next July 1 of 1,070,
000 for the army and 571,000
for the navy be carried out or
should the rate of reduction be
checked to stabilize the armed
services at a higher manpower
figure?
2 In this case, will congress
and the White House proceed
with Mr. Truman's recommen
dation of March 3 that selec
tive service be not renewed up
on its expiration date of March
31?
The nation's military forces
are of definitely modest propor
tions in the area where the new
foreign policy focuses most
sharply, the Mediterranean.
On the ground that until they
receive a directive from the
president they will not know
the nature or extent . of assist
ance that might be given Greece
and Turkey, war department of
ficials declined to discuss pub
licly the terms of Mr. Truman's
suggestions.
Pending further clarification
by Mr. Truman, his recommen
d a t i o n for "instruction and
training of selected Greek and
Turkish, personnel" is assumed
to suggest a practice long fol
lowed by the army in the case
of some Latin American and
other nations. Under that prac
tice, selected army and air of
ficers of other nations come to
the United States for attendance
at army schools and experience
in field operations or our army
to familiarize themselves with
American, equipment and opera
tions. .

COPENHAGEN. March 12 UP)

Speaking in parliament, ne
repudiated recent reports that
Denmark was negotiating with
the United States on the sale of
Greenland.

Red Refinery
Shipment Off
WASHINGTON. March 13 (P
Chairman Taber (R-N.Y.) said
today the house appropriations
committee has rejected a state
department request for author
ity to send $25,000,000 worth of
oil refining equipment to Russia.
The senate appropriations
committee turned down the re
quest earlier.
"We can't do such a thing;
that's appeasement," Taber told
reporters.
The chairman said the equip
ment, mostly pipelines, was ob
tained for shipment to riussia
under lend-lease agreement but
had not been transported prior
to last December 31.
A provision in a 1946 lend
lease appropriation prohibited
use of any administrative funds
for shipments after that date.
Taber said the state department
asked authority to complete the
transaction anyway.
