Nf W YORY f Thirty-seven sur-j Nebraska in the F.ast River in New
vivors have been removed to hos-1 York Citv The tanker sank after
pitals after the collision of the tank-1 bridge which connects New York
er Kmpress Bay and the freighter | and Brooklyn
Crew members on the Nebraska,
including 2 or three women, leaped
into flaming oil slick and swam to
rescue vessclr, and to shore after
the ships rammed in midstream
and the Tanker exploded. Flames
from the burning tanker reached
the under structure of the bridge
which is 100 feet dbove the water
A city flreboat. apparently the
first vessel at the scene, was badly
damaged when its capitatn piloted
it through flaming oil slicks to the
tanker and the freighter, which
also was set afire.
The ships remained locked to-
gether at right angles for a time
and then the Tanker broke away
and sank after the vessels had
drifted a short distance south of the
bridge
The tanker, operated by the Pe
trnleum Tanker Corporat-on. was a
197-foot vessel with a 300.000 bar-
rel capacity and fully loaded Of-
ficials at the scene said the tanker
was rammed admidships on the
port side by the freighter, a 438-
foot dry cargo vessel owned by the
Swedish Transatlantic Line. The
freighter had left New Haven. Con-
necticut. Tuesday evening en route
to Newark, New Jersey. It had a
general cargo alioard including a
number of small automobiles.

\ crowd of I'HHl Russians
screaming anti-Western slogans
.iikI anti-Americ in invective dem-
on-trated today outside the 10 story
l nited States Lmbassy building in
Moscow. Some of the demonstra-
tors shook their fists, but no rocks
were thrown, as there were earlier
this week at the West German
Lmbassy. About 150 Soviet police-
men kept the noisy crowd under
control The crowd included some
youths in red army uniforms.
Associated Press Correspondent
Roy Kssoyan says the demonstra-
tion obviously was well-planned It
was in retaliation for demonstra-
tions by Hungarian refugees last
week at the Soviet CN headquar-
ters in New York.
The embassy staff had made hur-
ried preparations for the demon-
stration after Moscow newspapers
for the first time published ac-
counts of the demonstrations in
New York 1 he New Yor k incidents
were in protest against the execu-
tion of former Hungarian Premier
Imre Nagv and three other leaders
of the anti-Soviet revolt in Hun-
gary in 1956
Similar demonstrations at Soviet
j embassies in Copenhagen. Den-
mark. and Bonn. West Germany,
were followed bv stone and ink-
I throwing assaults on the Danish
and West German embassies in
j Moscow.
The Americans evacuated the
giound Hoor of their embassy
building, and Minister Richard Da-
vis called on the Russians for extra
police protection.
A few members of the U. S.
embassy staff appeared on upper
story balconies to watch the dem-
onstiatnrs. Some of those in the
crowd produced pocket mirrors andj
flashed sunlight into the eyes of,
the watching Americans.
Some Western diplomats in Mos-1
■ cow had doubted that the Russian,
would stage a demonstration a-
; gainst a power as important as the
C. S. The feeling had been that a
demonstration would bring more of
a chill into East-West relations than
I the Soviet government actually
' desires.
i Several persons in military uni-
| form were noted in the crowd out-
I side the U. S. Embassy. Placards
j carried by the demonstrators boie
such slogans as "Go home Yank"
1 and Hands off I^banon."

Mar-Tex directors, in approv-
ing the sale and liquidation pro-

ed by: 1 Depressed condition of the
crude oil market. 2 The fact that
many of the company's leases are

his biggest crown to date last

pion
Trailing by two shots going into
Sunday's final 36 holes. Ferguson
utili/ed a warm wedge and a blaz-
ing hot putter into a fancy five
under par fi i for the morning 18
then managed a fine two under par
HA for the back 18 to grab a two
stroke win
Ferguson said the definite turn-
ing point came on number 17 of
the back 18 It is a 420 yard par
four with a dog leg to the left that
ran directly into the wind Ray said
that the rough ti> the left of the
fairway was as well turfed as the
fairway itself, so he swung hard
on his tee >hof that cut across the
dog leg and landed into a perfect
lie in the rousih He v< as undecided
whether to play the shot conserva-
tive with a six iron or to swing
hard and l*>ld with a seven iron
He chose the Latter, hitting the
creen some 30 feet short of the
cup He said that he spent a great
deal of time looking over the
breaking grainy putt before taking
his stance. After stroking his putt,
heknew when the ball was still
10 feet away from the cup that it
was going to drop, and he walked It
on in
Being kept posted on the scores
of his nearest competitor, Ray felt
that a par on number 18 would
*in . . . and par it he did.
Ferguson anived home from
Korea on May 15 of this year, just
in time to enter the Stamford In-
vitation on May 115. He was elim-
inated in the finals by Southwest
Conference Champion Don Massin-
gale by a 2 up decision.
Two weeks later he won the

late that evening for Dallas where
he fired qualifying rounds for the

Members of the Breckenridge Ro
tary Club Tuesday noon had far
then- program a report on Boys
state from the sponsored delegate
of the club. Bobby Anderson.
Anderson told in a concise talk
how 538 boys from various parti o>
Texas arrived in Austin wondei ing
what it was all about; and be'or!"
the week was over had been vv - lct
ed into a unity and spirit tha hi
had never dreamed could exist
Even the Buckaroo spirit will noi
compare with it. he said.
Objective of Boys State is to fa
milarize selected young Texans wit'
how a government should be nr
and to have them learn how to d~
it bv doing it.
On their arrival the boys put
all valuables and their money i'
their own bank, and by evening c
the first day the bovs had bee*'
changed from individuals to th
"best of friends" with something
doing every minute of the tim ?.
Anderson read the program o"
the biggest day. Tuesday, that star!
ing as others did at 6:15, woiux1
up with lights out at 10:30. bu
with those working on the "Ion-
Star Stater", the bovs newspaper
winding up at 3 or 4 o'clock
in the morning.
In all the boys attended 40 as<?m
blies and beard a total of 33 speak-
ers. To break the monotony of the
daily schedule there was recreation
each day from 2 to 4:45 o'clock.
The hoopla of the activities ca-.
generated mostly by the political
parties, the Pioneers and the Long
horns. Anderson called it an e :?e!
ience of a lifetime, with each boy
asked at the end to go home an1
tell the other boys about it.

Decision Reversed
On Eye-Glosses
AUSTIN 'jfi— The State Supreme
Court chanted its mind this morn-
ing about banning advertising pric-
es of eye-glasses.
It said that onlv mis leading ad-
vertisements should be banned.
The decision sets aside the court's
previous opinion last April in which
it upheld the constitutionality of
a new state law which apparently
prohibited giving prices in any ad-
vertisement.
Today's decision has the effect
of dissolving a temporary injunc-
tion against operators of i,ee Opti-
cal Company in 14 Texaw cities.
