British shipping firm denies carrying foe
HONG KONG. An official of a British steamship company denied accusations by a U S Senate subcommittee that the firm transported Communist troops. H Horman-Fisher of Wheelock Marden Co said neither his company nor any British shipping concern he knows has carried Communist troops. The subcommittee chair asserted two British ships were used to move Red troops along the Chinese coast before later carrying MSA goods. Horman-Fisher noted three Wheelock Marden ships had been seized by Communists, with Villa out of firm ownership, and that some registers still list them. Kennedy testified about about 100 British flag vessels trading with Red China in early year.

Penny Increase OK'd to Pay Highway Bills
In a swift session the California Assembly passed a 1-cent increase to the 41½-cent gasoline tax to fund highway bills and sent the measure to the Senate amid strong sentiment for the boost. A parallel Lincoln bill would raise about $625,296,000 over ten years for state highways while the Shaw version would add roughly $520,000,000. Separately in Paris the National Assembly defeated Premier Mayer's request for cabinet-decree expense powers as the government faced a confidence vote amid broader postwar plans.
