Blockade

LONDON. July 1-(Friday)- (AP)-Russia today declared the American blockade of Korea a ”new act of aggression" and warn- ed she will hold the United states responsible for any damage to Soviet interests as a result of the blockade.

The Russian position was set forth in a note sent to the United states Embassy in Moscow. Mos- cow Radio said.

It was in answer to one sent by the United States July 1. informing the Russians that the United states had established the block- ade "in keeping with the United Nations Security Council's request for support to the Republic of Korea in repelling North Korean invadus and restoring peace in Korea."

The Russian reply repeated the Soviet stand that the Security Council resolution of June 2'! was illegal. Therefore. the soviet note said. the security Council resolut- ion could not "serve as a legal basis for taking any measures whatsoever with regard to Korea. including a naval blockade of Kor- ea."

(trash Occlirs As One Fast Train a

I Passes Another -

MONICA. Iil., July 6-(,.p,- Two high-speed Santa Fe Railway streamliners, streaking eastward side by side, bumped mid-sections in a freak collision today that brought crushing death to nine persons and injuries to about 75.

The crash came at a stretch of tracks near here where daily the 90-mile-an-hour El Capitan Flier from Los Angeles passes the 70- miles-an-hour Kansas City Chief from Kansas City.

Both trains were bound for Chi- cago, 148 miles northeast.

Mail Car Leaves Tracks

As the El Capitan began pulling ahead, its mail car lurched, left the tracks. and jacknifed into the first car and side of the Chief's locomotive.

It was 4:40 am. CST. The men's wash room of one El Capitan coach was crowded with men shaving. Many passengers still were asleep on both trains.

The collision slammed the El Capiian's car back across its own tracks. The locomotive and several forward cars of the El Capitan broke loose and barrclled down the tracks. The El Capitan's rear cars piled into the wreckage.

Sleeping passengers were boun- ced around like rubber balls. Twisted metal trapped some in their seats.

Four of the dead were in the washroom of an El Capitan coach. They were slammed into the walls and crushed to death.

The victims were five men and four women. One man was decap- itated when thrown through a window. Four of the dead were unidentified.

The locomotive--and--two--front cars of the Chief also left the tracks.

Several cars telcscopcd and tracks were torn up for a quarter of a mile.

All available doctors. nurses and ambulances were rushed to the scene. Victims were taken to hos- pitals in Peoria, 20 miles south of this small village. and to Gales- burg, 30 miles west.

38 Still In Hospital

Thiirly-eight were held in hos- pital, some in critical condition. and the others were given first aid at the scene.

Because of the early hour. rescue work was slow in starting. Some farmers came running with axes and chopped paths in those trap- ped in the debris. .

Lock Adams of Chicago, mem- ber of the El Capitan dining cur crew, said the impact ihrew him from his bunk.

"I grabbed my trousers and ran barefoot from the dormitory and climbed ,onlo the top of the Chief's locomotive." he said. ”I snatched a sledge hammer and beat my way into a ieiescoped car. I saw two men dead and two more badly injured inside.”

Officials said an investigation of the wreck has started. but the cause has not been determined.

i:IITAW.A. July 6 -(GP) -vFin- ancial arrangements with the Unit- ed Kingdom and four other count- ries for the sale of some of this year's catch of Newfoundland salt Cod in Europe were announced to- day by Fisheries Minister May. hew.

The arrangements were expected to cover the sale of about H.000.- 000 worth of cod, Fisheries Depart- ment ofiicials said.

The fish will go to Spain, Portu- gal. Italy and Greece under a one- year continuance of a system set up before confederation to enable the Island to sell in these soft- currency countries.

Under the plan. the four count- ries will pay for the fish in sterl- ing. This money will be appiiei against Newfoundland's debt to the U. K.. which Canada took over last year. The Federal Government will reimburse the Newfoundlanders in

dollars .

Make Arrangements To Sell Nfld. Salt Cod

As part of the same plan. the Italian Government also has agreed to set aside 3500.000 in dollars for the purchase of cured cod from Gaspe, Que. This is a high-grade product which for some years has been going to Italy. especially the Milan area.

Mr. Mayhew said today the ar- rangements "should do much to re- lieve the uncertainty which has prevailed in Newfoundland."

"This, and other negotiations now taking place to ease trade re- strictions. should make it possible for the Newfoundland exporters to proceed to make contracts for the 1950 production as well as to dis- pose of the carryover from 1949," he said.

The Government recently an- nounced that the Fisheries Prices Support Board would buy 1949 salt cod still in the hands of fish- ermen. but not that portion of the catch held by processors and dis- tributors.

Stormy Strike Week-end Forecast For Britain

0'I.eary Student t

LONDON, July 6-Reuters)-The industrial barometer tonight was set at stormy as Britain moved to- ward a week-end which may see Current strikes spread in titres vital industries-railroads. coal and

.i food distribution.

Two hundred locomotive drivers and flremenv at Banbury, 70 miles northwest of London. went back to work after a six-day stoppage- but announced they would strike again this week-end and every suzbsequent week-end as long as their dispute continues. They,,ob- ject to a proposed pensions-scheme change.

Eight hundred locomotive men at Paddington, terminus for west- country trains, and 400 at Newton Abbot, key rail centre in the west, have promised to go out similarly in sympathy.

In Scotland 16.000 miners were reported idle today. Fifty-seven collieries were closed and 20,000 tons of coal a day were being lost through the strike.

In spite of union leaders under- takings that the dispute about wages would be discussed at a delegates conference Monday. there was no significant return to work.

One thousand miners in South Wales, who followed the Scottish miners' example yesterday. remain- ed out today. .

The strikes are in protest against the rejection by the state-run in- dusiry of a claim for 15 shillings (32.30) a week more for 400,000 lower-paid workers in the pits.

The situation in London's meat distribution centres, where 4,000 men are on strike. showed little change. About 2,700 soldiers and airmen. using 700 service vehicles. kept supplies moving and most Londoners will get about four- flfths of their meat ration this week-end.

The strike began 13 days ago when 1,400 drivers stopped work to protest against alleged delay in considering a claim for another 19 shillings a week.

LAKE SUCCESS. N. Y.. July 0-1 (AP)- The Chinese Communist regime informed the United Nat- ions tonlght that it is detenznimsd to take Formosa "despite any mil- itary steps of obstruction taken by the United states Govemment."

The Red regime in Peiping ac- cused the United States of an "act of open aggression" by assigning- Amerlcan naval units to protect Formosa, last stronghold of the Chinese Nationalists.

Foreign Minister Chou En-Lai outlined Red China's position in a message to the U. N. secretary- General, Trygve Lie.

The American the message referred was taken by President Truman on the heels of North Korea's invasion of South Korea. The communist message stated:

"By keeping silent on this act of open aggression of the United States Government. the Security Council and the Secretary-General of the United Nations have forgone their functions and duties of up- holding world peace. and thereby become plaint instruments of the policy of the United States Govern- ment.”
