/ *- 123-foot Orojj Kills Four Men PORT ARTHUR, —OP)— A 123- foot high scaffold collapsed at the Texas Co. Refinery yesterday, plunging four construction woi’k- ers to their deaths. Two men who survived the fall and five workmen on the ground were injured. Joe R. Colliei’, 36, Duncan, Okla., one of the two men who survived the 123-foot fall, suffered a broken back. The other man, George Gon zales, 21, of Beaumont, was treat ed for scratches on the head and released, hospital attendants said. .. Collier, in traction at the Hotel Dieu Hospital in Beaumont last night, told reporters “I remember falling but I don’t remember hit ting the ground. The first thing I remember was somebody putting me on a stretcher.” Gopzales told newsmen “I felt the platform giving away. Then I felt myself falling through the air. I landed on my back in some sand. I got up and started run ning but fell down again.” The dead and injured wei’e em ployes of W. G.

Dirksen (R-Ill) of repre senting General Motors at a Senate hearing. The union leader withdrew the remark after Sen. Kefauver (D-Tenn) intei’- vened. Reuther, president of the United Auto Workers Union, was nettled when Dirksen questioned whether the UAW’s much-discussed pi'ofit- sharing proposal was a serious goal of the union. The UAW chief said it was “dead serious.” He rejected a suggestion by Dirksen that it might be part of “a public relations job.” Referring to General Motors, Reuther told Dirksen, “You have a right to be their representative here.” “I think you might in all good grace withdraw that remark.” Dirksen retorted. Reuther ignored the suggestion and the senator added: “I have tried to treat you like a gentleman but if necessary, we’ll take off the gloves.” Kefauver, chairman of the Anti trust and Monopoly subcommittee, broke up the exchange at that point. “Sen. Dh'ksen is not here rep resenting General Motors,” he said.

Sarkees Kaprielian, 21-year-old industrial engineering major from Beirut Lebanon received compen sation in the amount of $450. He estimated the loss of his posses sions at $1,110. Kaprielian was on the Andrea Doria bound for New York when it collided with the S.S. Stockholm. The Stockholm managed to make port without mishap, but the Doria sank soon afterward. Kapi’ielian made his way to the top deck of the liner after the crash, clad only in shorts and a T- shirt. He was rescued two hours later and taken to New York on the liner Ille de France, completing the entire trip in his shorts. Upon arrival in this country Ka prielian went to Pennsylvania and worked for a month. He managed to secure a loan from Maryville College and attended classes there I did not whistle at her.
