SPAIN HITS AT U. S. OIL FIRMS Government Decree Perils Thriving Business. Bn United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 10— With American oil companies in Spain apparently threatened with losing their business, Government officials here today sought to determine rights of the companies in Spain. King Alphonso has issued a decree pointing to a national petroleum monopoly, under which bids from Spanish firms for concessions on production and marketing were asked within sixty days from June 28. American oil companies furnish from 70 to 80 per cent of Spain’s petroleum, according to Commerce Department statistics.

American holdings in Spain include refining and marketing plants

HOLDS BREATH FOR 14 MINUTES; SETS RECORD Professor Vouches for Mark Made by Wesleyan Senior. Bn Times Special MIDDLETOWN, Conn., Aug. 10.— A Wesleyan senior, Earl L. Gaylor of Cliftondale, Mass., has established anew world’s record by holding his breath for fourteen .minutes and two seconds. The previous record was for ten minutes and ten seconds. Prof. Edward L. Schneider of the Biology Department at Wesleyan vouches for the authenticity of the test. He declares that a graphic record of chest and diaphragm motion over the entire period showed that at no time could air have been taken into the lungs. Oxygen was used by Mr. Gaylor in preparing his test. He first breathed excessively over a short period in order to rid the blood of carbon dioxide. He took three deep breaths of oxygen, the last of which he held for the record time.

busses pass oftener than to have these with greater capacity.
