One Killed As Ships Collide In Heavy Fog SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) — A ship collision in heavy fog 35 miles north of San Francisco took one life and forced 44 crewmen of the Japanese cargo vessel Kokoku Maru to abandon ship early today. The Coast Guard reported at 6:35 a.m. PDT (9.35 a.m. EDT) that all 44 men had been rescued from the storm-tossed sea, but said that two were injured. Names and extent of the injuries were not available. A Coast Guard .spokesman said the Japanese vessel was dead in the water and listing to starboard. The engine room, fire room and number three hold were reported flooded. No one was aboard. High winds, thick fog, and choppy seas made tl)®. rescue operations and attempts to save the Japanese ship extremely hazardous. The vessel was riding low in the water, and it was still not I known if the Coast Guard could place a line aboard and tow the ship back to San Francisco. The spokesman said that if the Kokoku Maru remained afloat she would drift into or between the islands in two hours unless she was taken into tow. The other ship involved, the Military Sea Transportation Service (MSTSt vessel Asterion, remained on the scene until rescue vessels arrived and then reported it was en route to San Francisco under its own power. The Asterion, a 7,771-ton vessel with a crew of 54, radioed that it suffered a large hole above the waterline on the bow, but was not taking water. The collision occurred it 10:05 p.m. PDT (1:05 a.m. Wednesday EDT) off Point Reyes on the northern California coast. The Kokoku Maru began sending distress signals immediately and re-, ported that the boilfer room was “rapidly filling with water.” Scholarship Award To James Heimann James Heimann, a student at St. Joseph’s Colege, Rensselear, has been awarded a SSOO scholarship from the Central Newspapers Foundation set up by Eugene Pulliam of the Indianapolis News and Star.

A step in that direction is the tiny receiver held by Karen Speedy, secretary at Westinghouse's Baltimore Defense Center. The receiver, believed to be the world’s smallest, was built to demonstrate the possibilities of molecular electronics, currently the ultimate in miniaturization. Powered by a battery held in Karen’s left hand, it can receive signals transmitted by a citizens band walkie-talkie up to ranges of about a mile. ,

Castro Lauds Khrushchev, Soviet Union HAVANA (UPl)—Premier Fidel Castro, sporting Soviet medals picked up during his 37-day tour of Russia, said Tuesday night U.S.-Cuban relations can be ■’normalized"—if the Americans will deal on Communist terms. In a 3%-hour telecast, Castro denounced "clowns and demagogues” in the United States who insist that his revolutionary re- : gime must break with Russia as a prelude to negotiations with Washington. "If they (the Americans) want 1 to talk with us, they must give up the idea that we must break our ties with the Communist bloc," he said. "We are Communists ... how are we going to break with our friends in order to talk with our enemies?” Castro wore green army fatigues as usual, with the badges of the Order of Lenin and Hero of the Soviet Union pinned to the left breast pocket. The medals were awarded to hint during his tour. He flew to Russia late in April and returned Monday, traveling in complete secrecy both ways which he said was necessary because "we are living 90 miles from imperialism”—meaning the United States. Most of his speech was devoted to praise of Russia and Premier Nikita Khrushchev. He said there is no way the West can overcome Russia’s “invulnerable” missiles, even though a surprise attack. “Hie results of any aggression by the imperialist camp would be the disappearance of the imperialist camp,” he said. “Nothing could stop it, not even launching a surprise attack.” Castro said Russia is a land of “abundance for the masses.” He said it is only “threats by the imperialists” which compel Russians to live a life of austerity despite the high standard of living which he said communism has given them. Castro said Russia has a “big lead in rocketry” over the West. “We had an opportunity to see the means of combat they have ... .’’he said. “We have seen their various types of troops and their strategic missiles and we could appreciate the invulnerably ity of their armament.” GAPING MAW —Looking more like a hippopotamus opening its mouth than a German ferry, the Theodor: Heuss docks on the Danish; 1 side of a new route between; , Germany and Denmark.

Thirty-six cardinals held their first meeting this morning since the 81-year-old pontiff died two days ago. They set the opening date of the conclave for two weeks from today, automatically putting into action preparations carefully outlined by 20 centuries of tradition. The first vote by the cardinals on the new pontiff will be taken on June 20, the day after the conclave begins. How long the conclave lasts depends on how long it takes the cardinals to decide on who will be th next pontiff. The new Pope must be chosen by a two- thirds majority, if the number of “princes of the church” attending can be divided by three, or twothirds plus one if their number cannot be divided by three. Although at present there are 82 cardinals, as many as 10 of them may not be able to come to Rome because of illness or other impediments. By canon law, the conclave has to begin within 15 to 18 days after the death of the Pope. Thus, in this case, the cardinals had to set the opening date between June 18 and 21.

Governor Welsh is planning to be host to the editors and publishers at a reception at the Indiana executive residence be- / fore the dinner -at which Salinger will speak, according to Richard Martin, news secretary for the governor.

Invitations will be issued to editors and publishers of more than 80 Indiana newspapers, and an attendance of up to 200 persons is anticipated.

State Charles O Hendricks. 2— Trial of the ICLU suit. 3— Oral arguments on a motion by former State Sen. Nelson Grills, D-Indianapolis, for a summary judgement in his suit to mandate reapportionment. The June 7 date originally was set for the hearing on SteeiW motion. But the judges decided late Tuesday to hold the trial, too, after Steers reached a stipulation agreement with the ICLU that the only issue for the court to decide is how to remedy the situation of inequities in representation in the legislature. Steers conceded in the stipulation that the present legislative districts cannot be compromised with the U.S. Constitution’s guarantee of equal representation. The Indiana Constitution requires reapportionment every six years but this provision has been ignored since 1922, resulting in representation gains for rural areas and losses for urban areas. The federal judges on the panel are William E. Steckler and Cale J. Holder of Indianapolis and Roger J. Kiley of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago. Brake Failure Blamed For Two-Car Accident A brake failure resulted in a twocar accident at the intersection of Second, . Fifth and Washington streets at 3:17 p.m. Tuesday.
