The bomb went off outside the house where Kennedy was staying as the guest of social- ite - politician Hugh Fraser. He, too, had a narrow escape. THE EXPLOSION killed a passing neigh- bor, eminent cancer specialist Professor Gordon Hamilton - Fairley who was out walking his poodle. The bomb exploded beneath Fraser's car parked at the curb in the fashionable Ken- sington district. At the time it exploded Fra- ser should have been leaving home to drive Kennedy to Sotheby's auction rooms where she is taking an arts course: Just before leaving the house, Fraser stop- ped to make a telephone call. He was still talking when the bomb went off, hurling Hamilton - Fairley's torn body into the front garden of the Fraser house. "CIRIST, I was dead lucky not to be in the car," 57-year-old Fraser said. The vehicle was hurled on its back in flames. Seven other persons, rincluding a Filipino woman who worked as a cook and housemaid for Fraser, suffered minor in- juries. Police suspected the bombing was an Irish guerrilla attack. - By AP and UPT WASHINGTON--The Federal Trade Commission yes- terday refused to drop its two- year-old antitrust case against the nation's largest oil compan- ies for an alleged refinery mo- nopoly. By a 3-1 vote, the commission turned down a recommendation made Wednesday by adminis- trative law judge Alvin Ber- man that the agency should dismiss the matter and concen- trate instead on a more gener- al investigation of the energy crisis. ANTITRUST lawyers for the Commission say the govern-j ment lacks reliable information about who controls the nation's energy resources.j In a 768-page study on de- velopment of coal, oil, natural gas and uranium deposits on public land, an FTC task force said, "At present, it is impos- sible to determine with any pre- cision, who owns what." Release of the study by the commission's Bureau of Com- petition was one of several de- velopments Wednesday related to the role of giant corporations in control of energy resources. BY VOTES of 50 to 40 and 53 to 39, the Senate rejected at- tempts to bar oil producers from also engaging in refining, transportation and marketing and also to prohibit oil firms from producing or distributing other energy sources such as coal and uranium. In a parallel action, indus- try and government witnesses before a Senate subcommittee said legislation to bar oil com- panies from developing other energy sources was unneces- sary and potentially harmful. The landmark FTC case, in- itiated in June of 1973, sought to force the oil companies to divest themselves of from 40 to 60 per cent of their refinery capacity and to bring from 10 to 13 new firms into the busi- ness. Oil firms control an estimated 35 per cent of the nation's known coal reserves and 50 per cent of the uranium re- serves. The FTC suit accused Exxon, Gulf, Shell, Texaco, Mobil. At- lantic Richfield, Standard Oil of California and Standard Oil of Indiana of jacking up consumer prices and company profits.
