Two Famous Ships Collide In Pacific *

LOS ANGELES (tJPI) - A Navy board of inquiry today was investigating the collision Monday of two of the largest ships plying Pacific waters. The two famous ships —the U.S. aircraft carrier Kcawrarge and the British luxury liner Oriana — rammed into eavh othef in fog off the Long Beach breakwater, but there were no injuries to the estimated 4.000 persons aboard the two vessels. Fire broke out in a paint locker on the Oriana but was quickly extinguished. The ship’s skipper, Capt. Clifford Edgecombe, said late Monday the P & O Orient Line cruise ship would be delayed until Wednesday. It originally was scheduled to depart for Honolulu Monday. The Kearsarge, which picked up astronaut Wally Schirna in the Pacific after his six-orbit flight Oct. 3, was involved in a minor collision with a Navy tanker later in October while refueling at sea off San Diego, Calif. The carrier, which normally carries a complement of 2,500 officers and men, was on its way to San Diego to pickup carrier aircraft and personnel before departing on a training mission. The Oriana, carrying 1.128 passengers and a 'crew of 900, had planned to dock only a few hours. A hole 10 by 25 feet was gouged in the starboard bow of the 27,000ton carrier. The forecastle also suffered structural damage and there was a possibility the starboard catapult was 'knocked askew. The 42,000- ton liner, second largest in the Pacific and holder of several passenger and speed records, had a 16-foot gash in her bow. Above Water Damage All the damage to both ships

The passengers aboard the Oriana felt only a shudder and those at breakfast said nothing was spilled by the impact. “The water in my glass just rocked a little,” said passenger Ernie Byle.

the 1962 tax law, take effect Jan. 1. Caplin revealed the modifications in opening a two-day public hearing on the rules. As a result of objections. Caplin said, the rules will require less detail oh expenses claimed as deductions on tax returns. For example, a salesman will not have to list separately such miscellaneous outlays as taxi fares, local telephone calls, gasoline for his car and parking fees. Similarly, a person travelling on business, will not have to name the restaurants where he eats provided the cost ,of his meals does not include entertainment of others. _.,The also reversed. its. original proposal that each tip be listed as a separate outlay. Caplin said a tip could be included aS part of the basic expense, such as the cost of a meal.Also modified were rules requiring the taxpayer to give the time of business meals and a detailed breakdown of the use of facilities such as clubs. Caplin acknowledged that a proposed rule requiring itemized receipts “for expenditures of $lO or more may raise special problems for some taxpayers. We are giving this matter serious study.” IRS sources said strong consideration was being given to raising the $lO requirement, but they gave no_specific_iiew__figure : _ Tot the professions, unions and a variety of industries complained at the hearing that the new rules would saddle business with unreasonable bookkeeping chores, thereby impairing productive efforts, sales, production, payrolls and ps»fits.

Save Dunes Council To Continue Fight INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Save the Dunes Council suffered an apparent setback Monday when plans for a steel mill at Burns Ditch were announced, but the organization of conservationists is not yet ready to throw in the towel. ' i Thomas E. Dustin, spokesman for the group which claims 3,000 members, greeted the news with a degree of skepticism and indicated the council would take o> “wait and see’’ position. “Representatives of Bethlehem Steel have been saying for some time they might build a plant but when they were quizzed for specific details they never could supply them," Dustin said. Dustin stressed that his organization was waiting for something "hard and fast” and he noted that the steel firm had made “such statements before and could do so again." At the same time, however, he pledged “further activity” by the council to keep the dunes as they are and continue opposition to the proposed Bums Ditch port. “If the dunes are through,” he said, “it means their complete destruction for recreational, scientific and educational purposes for all time,” he said. “We feel the public interest transcends limited private benefits,’’ he added. Working with the council in opposing industrialization of the area has been Sen. Paul Douglas, D-111. who said Monday night he was not opposed to new industry in the Midwest but “Bethlehem Steel should not destroy the priceless Indiana Dunes in order to do so. They can build elsewhere. “Pre dunes are irreplaceable. Bethlehem will need a harbor in order to make a mill practicable, and they are asking for a $25 million federal subsidy for this purpose. “Without the harbor they cannot proceed. I do not believe it is wise policy for the taxpayers to pay Bethlehem $25 million to destroy the dunes,” Douglas said.
