A passenger in the car, Brose Whelton, 19, Springdale, New- foundland was also killed. Clarence Ginn, who lives 100 yards from the scene of the collision, said, "I didn't hear a thing. I only knew there had been an accident when the driv- er of the milk truck came in to use the phone. I came out and there was a body in the snow -- there wasn't much left of it -- blood everywhere, and a lot of men were trapped in the car.

Passengers from the Cunard liner Carmania had to carry their own luggage ashore Thurs- day. Large cargo items stayed on the ship to be returned to Southampton if they cannot be taken off.

The United States is commit- ted to buying or selling gold at $35 an ounce in dealing with for- eign national banks. If a scarcity in the U.S. gold supply forces the metal's price up, the value of the dollar, backed by gold, has declined.
