Capsized Freighter Probe Is Underway 25 Lives Lost In Atlantic Disaster NORFOLK, Vs.. HNS) — A — J three-man hoard of invextigation convenes today to determine why the freighter Moremackite capsized in a heavy sea Thursday with a loss of 25 lives. The coast guard board of officers. headed by a captain, will schedule interviews with 11 of the 48 man crew who survived to tell a horrifying story of their sinking ship and what followed. Representatives of the company which owned the vessel will also be heard. All hope for other survivors was killed late Sunday when the i coast guard, which was in charge of the air-sea rescue operatiops with the navy, called off the search. A coast guard spokesman said grimly this morning that as far as the search is concerned, ‘'the case is closed." Sunday, as survivors were carried on stretchers from rescue ships, anxious relatives questioned worn-out but thankful crewmen about the fate of their loved ones. But the survivors offered no hope. One crewman. Padeo Del Valle, recuperating In a Norfolk hospital from his 48-hour ordeal, told newsmen: "I was sleeping below decks ’ when l woke up because of the % heavy rolling of the ship. I ran topside and saw all the men in life jackets. 1 ran below again to wake up two friends who were asleep and I told them the ship was going down. ' When I got back on deck the ship was listing to port and going down fast. “I jumped overboard and swam away; I saw her go down from about 50 yards away."

Bowles Is Arrested Twice In Delaware Charge Fomenting Os Racial Strife HARRINGTON, Del.. HNS) - Legal obstacles continued to mount today blocking the racial segregation campaign of Bryant VV. Bowles, head of the national association for the advancement of w hite people. Bowles was arrested twice in Delaware Sunday where he had gone to address a rally. The organization official was charged with interfering with school attendance and fomenting racial disturbances. He was served with a warrant as he stepped from a plane at Harrington Air port where a crowd of 2.000 was awaiting him. Maj. Frederick Lamb of the state police arrested him over the crowd’s protests and took him to the Kent county courthouse. Bowles was released in $3,000 bail, but immediately was served with another warrant on identical charges involving alleged violations in Sussex county, and the same procedure followed once more. He had been warned earlier by Gov. J. Caleb Boggs that he faced arrest if he returned to Delaware. Earlier last week, the state attorney general instituted legal proceedings to revoke the corporate charter of the N.AAWP, and also subpenaed the financial records of the group.. Bowles' two arrests on warrants from Kent and Sussex counties were explained by officials who pointed out that Milford is located in both counties, and it was at the Milford high school where the state's racial troubles began.

Speculate On Dulles To Succeed Jackson Politicos Quash - Rumors On Dewey WASHINGTON (INS) — Top Republicans believe today that President Eisenhower will give secretary of state John Foster Dulles the first chance to refuse the Justice Robert H. Jackson vacancy en the supreme court. They expressed certainty that Mr. Eisenhower would take no action until after the Nov. 2 elections on an appointment of a successor to Jackson, who died unexpectedly Saturday of a heart attack at the age of 62. These politicos quashed all reports that Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York would be offered the post. They based this forecast on a belief that Dewey would quietly inforoi the President that he would not be interested in a judicial position after he retires as governor of New York in January. GOP politicians also say it is inconceivable that the President would urge Dulles to take a place on the high bench, although he is believed likely to extend to his top foreign policy adviser ths opportunity to turn it down. The cabinet official is regarded by Republican leaders as the key man in a series of diplomatic triumphs and the man who could leist be spared from what Mr. Eisenhower refers to as "his team.” With Dulles and Dewey out of the running, a present member of the federal bench or a judge from a high state court was expected to be the choice, probably from the east since Jackson was from New York. Speculation has centered on Chief Justice Arthur T. Vanderbilt of the New Jersey supreme court; Justice John C. Bell. Jr., ot the Pennsylvania state supreme court: and Justice Harold R. Medina of the second circuit court of appeals in New York. had hired a man who knew nothing about diving operations to handl* the surface equipment which broke down.
