Delve Into Causes 01 Ship Collision 10 Mpn Are Missing And Presumed Dead NEW CASTLE, Del. (UP)— Navy and Coast Guard investigators delved today into causes of a collision that sent a Navy-owned gasoline tanker to explosive death on the Delaware River, carrying down 10 men with her. The 10 men aboard the Mission San Francisco when she wAs rammed by the Liberian freighter Elna II were missing and presumed dead. Among them were the Mission's captain, William Allen, 54, of Galveston, Tex., and a pilot, Capt. Ralph Smith of New York. Thirty-five other men on the tanker and the 23-member crew of the freighter were saved. A team of investigators and a salvage supervisor were sent by the Navy to the scene and the Coast Guard questioned some of the survivors in Philadelphia. The Coast Guard said a three-man Marine board will investigate the collision at a hearing in Philadelphia Monday. Testimony will be taken and recommendations sent to Washington. The collision occurred early Thursday on a bend of the Delaware River near here, known as the "graveyard of ships.” The outbound Elna sliced the 5,739 ton Mission in two about midships, touching off an explosion that wrapped the empty vessels ia flame and-rocked a wide area. The 4,500 ton Elna, enroute to Baltimore after discharging a cargo of wood at Wilmington, Del., ran aground. The tanker, on its way to Paulsboro to take on cargo, sank five hours later. Alexander Karre, master of the Elna, said he was on the bridge when the ships collided with visibility close to six miles despite a fall of rain mixed with sleet and light snow, Karre, 62, of Toronto, Ont., said the freighter failed to acknowledge ia signal and cut across his bow. I He said he could not turn to avoid the collision because of a jetty running north of Pea Patch Island. . — . Heavy Fire Damage At Marion Thursday Three Firemen Are Overcome By Smoke MARION, Ind. (UP)—Six fire companies from Marion and surrounding communities battled for hours Thursday night to control a fire which threatened a section of the Marion business district. Three firemen were overcome by smoke. The blaze broke out shortly before 7 p.m. CDT in the basement of one of the stores in the business block. It destroyed the PriceHutchins Clothing Store and did extensive damage to a jewelry store, a hardware firm and a dress shop. The injured firemen were identified as Donovan Hamilton, 36; James Pearson, 32, and Mark Hillsamer, all of Marion. They were treated at Marion General Hospital and released. Volunteer units from Swayzee, Wabash, Summitville, Sweetser, and Gas City aided the Marion fire department battle the blaze. An estimate of the damage was not - callable. . .. . - - - Bus Badly Damaged By Fire Thursday HUNTINGTON, Ind. (UP) — A Greyhound bus caught fire enroute fim Detroit to Evansville Thursday night and the driver ordered 20 nassengers to get out. The passengers picked up luggage, filed out and watched the flames cause about SIO,OOO damage to the rear of the bus. The driver was Edward McMurrer, Indianapolis. The bus burned at the junction of Ind. 9 and Ind. 37, south of here. f ISRAELI (Cont’nußd from F4g» One) them. The question of passage of Israeli ships through the Suez Canal still remained unsettled. The Egyptian Suez Canal Authority opened the canal today to passage of ships up to 500 tons, and the first one through was a Lebanese freighter. Larger ships will be nble to transit the waterway when remaining obstacles are cleared. At Port Said, the Egyptian director of the canal said all ships will be permitted to pass through Suez “on condition they pay tolls to Egypt.” This was understood to mean inclusion of British and French vessels. But observers at Port Said were certain the Egyptian official did not mean to include Israeli ships. COMMITTEE (Continued from Page Qn«l stopped talking about cutting the budget some of his own major proposals will be killed, including his $1.3 billion school construction program. — - . . Others urged he speak out quickly on just what cuts he favors before the rising economy sentiment destroy “vital projects.”

New Farm Plan Advanced By Farm Bureau Republicans Seek Democratic Votes For Plan Adoption WASHINGTON (UP) — House Republicans today looked to farm organization lobbyists for help in wooing Democratic votes needed for passage of a new plan to aid most of the nation's corn growers. Republicans lined up behind the new plan advanced by the American Farm Bureau Federation after the House Thursday rejected their original proposal by seven votes. The 187-180 vote left intact and still pending before the House a Democratic plan which couples relief for commercial corn growers with new subsidies for other growers of corn and growers of all other feed grains. The almost straight party-line vote came after Republican leaders denounced the Democratic plan as a $1 billion “monstrosity.” They warned that President Eisenhower would veto any such bill. Could Be Stalemate After two days of partisan wrangling, the House agreed to put off further voting until Tuesday. Democratib farm leaders predicted their party lines would hold firm then 'against efforts by theoyhs numbered Republicans to substitute their new plan. But Democrats were not sure they could muster enough votes to pass their own bill. The result could be a stalemate—and no corn legislation. < Administration farm officials have warned that emergency legislation is needed to avert the threat that corn-hog farmers in the Midwest may produce pricedepressing surpluses of corn this year. That could result eventually in depressing prices of all live-

Hock. The trouble stems from results of a grower referendum last Dec. 10. It fixed the support price for the 1957 crop at $1.36 a bushel and the planting allotment at 37.3 million acres, a level so low most farmers are expected to overplant and lose price support benefits. Reject GOP Flan Sixty-one per cent of the growers voting in the referendum marked their ballots for the alternative choice —a planting allotment of 51 million acres, price support of $1.31 d bushel and required soil bank participation. But the pkaa failed to get the two-thirds vote required to put it into operation. The House Thursday rejected a Republican plan sponsored by Rep. August H. Andresen (R-Minn) calling for a 51-milllon acre allotment for three years. The Farm Bureau’s one-year plan, sponsored by Rep. Robert D. Harrison (R-Neb>, would allow corn growers to vote again “with their corn planters.” Those wishing to comply with the present allotment would get a $1.36 bushel support. Those wishing to comply with their individual share of the 51 million acre allotment and with soil bank requirements would get a $1.31 support. Pour Footing For Monroe Building The footing for the foundation of the new Monroe town building was poured Wednesday, and forms for the foundation were set in Thursday and today. If the weather permits, pouring will begin immediately so that the foundation can be comnl«tßK.ihis week. * The building program is ahead of schedule, since advertising for the sale of the old town hall asked that the building be removed by March 15. However, the bidding was removed within a few days after the sale, allowing the town and rural people, under the direction of the Monroe fire department, to start work. Volunteer workers from the town and county are helping on the project. If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad — they bring results.

Drifted Two Days With Lifeless Body Florida Woman Is In State Shock TAVERNIER, Fla. (UP) — A middle-aged woman remained in shock today from her two days of helpless drifting in the Gulf of Mexico in a boat with the lifeless body of her husband. Mrs. Claretta Fleck, 62, of South Miami, spent almost 48 hours with the body of her husband after he apparently had a fatal heart attack after working on a fouled boat rudder at sea. A passing fisherman, Al Grace, discovered Mrs. Fleck’s plight Thursday and towed her craft to port with his own boat from far out in the gulf. Corcn;r George Rawlings said Mrs. fleck was in an advanced stag- of shock. She was near hysteria when brought to shore here. The coroner said he learned from the woman that she and her husband, Richard C. Fleck, 57, had left home last Friday for a week’s outing aboard Iheir cabin cruiser. She said Fleck went over the side Tuesday to fix a fouled rudder. When he came back on board, he .collapsed and died at her feet, she said. Mrs. Fleck said she did not know how to start the engine. She said she painted the word “HELP” on a large white towel but no one came by until-Grace's boat spotted her.
