Icy Streets Pile Up Record Accident Total
Traffic accidents in Oklahoma City mounted to a record
Monday as a result of slick streets. Pictured above is one at
NW 10 and Olie. A car driven by Dave A. Holley, 49, 1925 NW 37,
skidded through a stop sign and collided with another driven
by Charles Wesley Lindsay, 24. of 2229*4 NW 12. No one was in-
jured seriously. At the right, the weather is depicted in a
lighter vein. In Boston, with the mercury one above zero, Mrs.
J. R. King, New Zealand war bride, finds the long-skirted new
look poorly adapted to getting through snow banks.
Oil Export Ban
Urged for U. S.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26—-UP)—
An immediate ban on all exports
of petroleum products was rec-
ommended Monday by the nouse
interstate commerce committee.
The action is necessary, the com-
mittee reported to the house, because
of too optimistic estimates of supplies.
MANILA. Jan. 26—UP)—Another
strong earthquake shook the battered
city of Iloilo on the central Philip-
pines island of Panay Monday night
followed by secondary shocks which
lasted four minutes.
The city already had been damaged
heavily and 27 deaths were reported
in a series of heavy quakes which
rocked it over a period of four hours
before dawn Sunday, followed by mod-
erate shocks.
The newest termors terrorized a
population whose nerves already were
at the breaking point.
People rushed into the streets in
night dress and huddled in public
plazas. The night was shrill with cries
of separated mothers and children as
i thousands scampered into open spaces.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 26—UP)—The

ball” fleets to augment the state's elec-
trical power due to the current drouth,

the weather, and "the gravity of the
oulook in oil supplies in the event of
a war emergency."
Commitments Opposed
The committee recommended also
that:
ONE—Earlier suggestions for cur-
tailing the use of oil in government
buildings be carried out.
TWO—No further foreign petroleum
commitments be made pending a re-
view of “the degree of confidence
which we justifiably may have in im-
ports and foreign reserves."
THREE—New funds and authority
be given the interior department for
acceleration of the program for devel-
oping oil from coal and shale.
Situation Called Grave
FOUR—Congress create a joint com-
mittee to formulate a national fuel
policy.
The committee has been studying
the petroleum situation. It said exports
of distillate and residual oils continue
and “the situation is now so grave
that export* should be stopped com-
pletely until it can be determined
whether further exports are dam-
aging to the economy of this country.
37 Italians Wounded
In Political Clashes
ROME, Jan. 26—UP)—Rome news-
papers Monday reported 37 persons
wounded in political violence in two
Italian towns.
Twenty-two were hurt at a Com-
munist party dance in Messina, Sicily,
Sunday night, they said, when a bomb
was thrown into the hall and col-
lapsed a wall
Fifteen were hospitalized Sunday in
Brescia, near Milan, in a fight of
leftist interlopers with some 50 mem-
bers at a private meeting of the right-
ist Italian social movement.
Weather Again Delays
U. S. 66 Traffic Count
A traffic count along U. 8. 66 for
» study of the Oklahoma turnpike
authority has again been delayed, Gov.
Turner said Monday. ,
The state highway department has
been making its own survey in addi-
tion to the one being prepared by a
New York firm of engineers.
Turner said the traffic count, •
regular six-month check, will be de-
layed until after the temperatures rise
and traffic resumes it* normal Gow.

for Negroes immediately.
Mrs. Fisher, accompanied by Dr.
W. S. Boyd, El Reno, regional NAACP
director, and Dr. J. A. Cox, member
of the Oklahoma City NAACP chap-
ter, conferred for 15 minute* in closed
session with Dr. Fellows.
No Actios Yst '
The party then moved to the of-
fice of Dr. Cross, where an hour-long
conference followed. A prepared state-
ment was then released by Fellows:
"The office of admissions and rec-
ords has received no directive regard-
ing the admission ot Mrs. Fisher. No
action will be taken on the applica-
tion until such directive has been re-
ceived.”
Fellows said Mrs. Fisher had not
been refused, not accepted. “We are
enrolling for two more days—plenty
of time for the directive to come
through.” he stated.
Dean Jerome E. Hemry of the new
Langston branch said while it is
doubtful that Mrs. Fisher will enrol
in the school, other Negroes might
take advantage of the new facilities.
He said he had received three letters
keeping city buses on schedules, but
were fighting to keep traffic moving.
Travel Warakeg laaeed
“We are putting safety ahead of
schedules.” M. D. Mills, vice-president
and general manager of the firm said.
"We hope to keep the buses running
and to get our passengers home."
With the storm striking about 9:30
a. m.. just about the time buses start-
ed running, regular schedules were
abandoned soon, with heavily-loaded
coaches stuck on the sides of hills and
at under and overpasses. The city and
railway company crew* had all avail-
able sand trucks out, but they were
unable to get the condition cleared
in time for the 8 a. m. rush.
Paul W. Reed, commissioner of pub- '
lie safety warned against driving all
over the state, pointing out that seven
persons already had been killed since
Saturday on highways.
Road Crews Sent Out
More than 1,000 men and every
piece of available road-clearing equip-
ment of the state highway department
were fighting a losing battle Monday
in clearing state and federal highways
for public travel, as the snow con-
tinued its course.
H. E. Bailey, director of the state
highway commission, said that al-
though full crews in all state divisions
were attempting to clear the roads, the
progress was slow because of lack ot
necessary equipment to cut through
the ice, packed solidly on roads.
The state highway department re-
ported worst conditions centering in
southeast and southwest Oklahoma.
There was two Inches of snow the full
length of the Panhandle, apparently,
from Boise City to Buffalo, while in
the extreme northeast part of the state
it was still clear and dry early Monday
Accident Calls Swamp Police
A record number of accident calls
was being handled by an under-
manned police force, O. H. Ezzell, po-
lice dispatcher, reported, explaining
that accident calls, most of them of a
minor nature, were coming in at the
rate of 13 an hour, with 50 recorded
between 7 a. m. and 11 a. m.
The only major accident reported
was at NW 10 and Olie. in which
three persons suffered minor Injuries.
Dave A. Holley, 49. of 1925 N"Z 37,
skidded across a stopsign on Olie, ac-
cording to Huel Hamm and ’ '. B.
Gates, scoutcar patrolmen, and slid
into a car driven by Charles Wesley
Lindsay, 24. of 2229^4 NW 12. The
Holley car then crashed into a steel
post in the old streetcar right of way.
Highway Buses Go Through
Holley received a knee injury. Miss
Nite Bartosh. 32. of 2228 NW 32. pas-
senger in Holley's car, a chest injury.
Storm
The snow and Ice storm
which struck Monday morn-
ing caught taxi companies in
Oklahoma City with their
chains down, with one excep-
tion. Three of four cab firms
reported half their fleets inac-
tive during the morning rush
hour because they “cant get
any chains.”
R. C. Tubre, assistant manager
of the A&A Cab Co., said he went
shopping after the snowstorm here
early in the month. He bought
chains in Lindsay, Pauls Valley and
locally.
“Our cabs aren’t on the streets
right now.” he said at 9 a. m.. but
by noon practically all of his fleet
was back in service as fresh snow
on city streets permitted use of
chains.
Spokesmen for Yellow Cab Co,
Capitol Hill Cab Co. and Y&Y Cab
Co., reported less than half their
fleets operating at mid-morning.
By noon, however. Yellow report-
ed 55 of 86 cabs in service, Capitol
HUI an 30 and Y 8t Y 55 of 86
running.
Some city residents, leaving their
cars inside garages and depending
on buses and taxis for transpor-
tation to work, reported being
“dumped out” at taxi company ga-
rages when the radio cabs in which
they were riding received orders to
go out of service.

after the American promised never
to command another ship against
Germany. The U-boat commander
also gave his prisoners food and
water for the trip.
Flink kept his promise after the
lifeboat brought the men to safety
at Portuguese Angola 18 days later.
He never again commanded a ship

But the promise did not include

DETROIT, Jan. 26— (UP)—
Some 1,200 bus drivers of the
Detroit street railways staged
a 1-hour sitdown strike Mon-
day when one driver refused
to operate a bus not equipped
with a defroster fan.
The strike stranded thousands of
work-bound persons in a bitter cold.
▲ company spokesman said the
sitdown occurred in two of the sys-
tem’s eight terminals when a driver,
Thalbert Reeves, refused to drive his
bus without a fan.
The spokesman said the buses
lacking fans were equipped with de-
froster vents linked to the heating
system. He said drivers were per-
suaded to start their runs after an
hour.
Auto and other manufacturing
firms in the Detroit area laid off
200,000 worker* Monday because of
a gas shortage induced by a pro-
longed cold wave.
The Michigan Consolidated Gas
Co., running 6,000,000 cubic feet
short a day. cut off gas to 40 major
industrial users Friday.

STATE TRAFFIC DEATHS
1948 to date 28, January 28.
1947 to date 19, January 19.
Oklahoma's highway death toll Increased by eight during the
weekend. Seven persons died as the result of crashes on ice and
snow-covered roadways and one from Injuries received early this
month.
Paul W. Reed, commissioner of public safety, issued a plea
Monday for motorists to stay off state highways during the pres-
ent storm as the toll went four over last year’s January total, with
five days left in the month.
Highway patrol records show It was the bloodiest weekend
since last November 29-30, when 10 persons were killed on state
roads. r
Troopers In all districts were busy Saturday and Sunday on
accident calls. Traffic had slowed at noon Monday, but all patrol
units were kept busy assisting motorists on icy roads.
The weekend accident victims were:
JAMES LEE SMITH, 34. Chickasha,
who died under the steering wheel of
his car when it crashed into the rear
of a Southwestern Trailways cross-
country bus stopped at a railroad
crossing on U. S. 81 near Chickasha.

Line; Power, Co
Wires Are Imperilled by Ice
Freezing rain, snow and sleet hammered at Oklahoma’s
transportation, power and communication lines Monday as
winter’s worst storm moved across the state and the gas sup-
ply failed at Edmond.
An automobile skidding on an ice-covered street went into
a ditch at Edmond, 10 miles north of Oklahoma City, and
broke the main gas line of the Oklahoma Natural Gas Co.
supplying fuel to the city of 7,500.
Livestock losses were feared as the forecasts indicated the
storm would grow worse Monday night with heavier snowfalls Tues-
day. High northerly winds were expected to add to the storm’s
hazards.
It was snowing hard in western Kansas and Oklahoma’s pan-
handle before daybreak, just as the storm moved in here. Snow ex-
tended across the Texas panhandle into eastern New Mexico, and
well up into Nebraska. There was sleet in Wyoming.
To the south, power dispatchers reported mist freezing on wires
and weather observers said this condition extended to San Antonio.
The only hope of escaping trouble lay in the chance that the mist
would change to snow before the ice load got too heavy.
Weather observers said that
the slight warming of tempera-
tures near noon “only Increased
the threat that icing conditions
would spread into the north por-
tions of the state."
City Bb* Schedule* FaU
The Oklahoma Natural rushed
emergency crew* to Edmond from
Oklahoma City, but the break was
not expeetd to be mended until late
Monday evening.
The firm was forced to drive all
street* in Edmond to warn the 1,700
meter users to turn off all gas con-
nections until the break could be re-
paired.

Tulsan Shot,
Pair Sought
TULSA, Jan. 26—UP)—Ralph A.
Hanoch, 28-year-old oil company em-
ploye, was in a serious condition Mon-
day at a hospital from a bullet wound
and other injuries suffered, police
said, when he was attacked by the
former husband of his woman com-
panion.
Police were seeking his assailant
who was believed to be fleeing in his
car with the woman after the attack
on a lonely road near Turley early
Monday.
Detectives Bob Thomas and Al De-
Moss said that after being shot and
beaten, Hanoch was carried back to
his attacker's car and driven to a
creek bridge where he fought off ef-
forts to throw him into the water. He
eluded his assailant in a nearby field.
Hanoch is under treatment from a
bullet wound in his hip, severe cuts
about his head and an eye injury suf-
fered when his glasses were broken.
FARIS, Jan. 26—(UP)—A
four-motored Air France
transport with a test crew
aboard crashed into a wood-
work factory in suburban
Romainville late Monday, kill-
ing eight persons. The plane
burst into flames after it
plunged into the factory.
LONDON, Jan. 26—UP)—Sir Stafford Cripps declared Monday
Britain does not contemplate devaluing the pound despite French
action In cutting the value of the franc.
“We do not believe that this will be rendered necessary or ad-
visable," the chancellor of the exchequer advised the house of
commons. Earlier government securities dipped on the stock ex-
change, reflecting Investors’ fears that France's action will damage
the pound sterling.
France overrode objections of both Britain and the interna-
tional monetary fund in revaluing her money. The devaluation
gave French manufacturers a chance to cut their prices as much
as one-half in world markets and consequently threatened British
markets abroad.
Sir Stafford did not disclose what steps would be taken to
protect the pound.
Consultation* are continuing with
the French, he disclosed.
Any Action Necessary
“In any action that we are com-
pelled to take," he declared, “we shall,
of course, exercise the greatest care
not to add to the difficulties of our
French friends more than might prove
absolutely inevitable."
Sir Stafford pointed out that Brit-
ain is responsible to the whole of the
sterling area for measures to be taken.
"We must, therefore, maintain our
freedom to take any action which may
be found necessary,” he asserted.
. .The devaluation amount* to about ment bonds, gold and free currencies
