Big Diesel Tug Engaged
In One of The Longest Tow
Jobs In Marine History
VANCOUVER, B.C., UD—One of
the longest and most risky salvage
tow jobs in marine history was
under way in the stormy North
Pacific waters today.
The diesel tug Sudbury of Vic
toria’s Island Tug and Barge Co.
Ltd., Saturday secured a heavy
tow line to the Greek freighter
Makedonia, drifting helplessly
with a broken tailshaft.
Sudbury intercepted the Make
odnia, with a crew of about 30
aboard, at a point 400 miles south
of Adak Island, near the end of
the Aleutian chain.
The tug, biggest and most pow
erful on the Pacific Coast, went
through some “very rough wea
ther” on the 3,200-mile trip, a
„ company official said.
Thousands of feet of special tow
cable was carried aboard the 204
foot Sudbury.
The two ships will make port
at Adak in about 2Vz days, secure
the towing gear, and then start
the 20-day trip to Vancouver.
Company officials in Vancou
ver said the trip back would be
hazardous because most of it was
through open water. The Gulf of I
Alaska is considered especially
dangerous.
“They’ve got nothing but 600
miles of water, with no ports
around them,” Art Elworthy,
managing director said.

Stevenson Says
Wilson’s Idea
Valid Today
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.,
Adlai Stevenson proposed Friday
night that the “community of na
tions” under law formula be ap
plied and the United Nations
mount guard on the flaming bor
ders between Israel and her Arab
neighbors.
Stevenson made this proposal
in an address at the University of
Virginia sponsored by the Wood
row Wilson Foundation and the
school’s Wilson Department of
foreign affairs.
He told an audience of 3,000
that jammed Memorial Gymnasi
um the application of Wilson’s old
League of Nations ideas held true
Saturday as the only means of
lasting peace.
The former Illinois governor,
who is expected to announce next
Tuesday his candidacy for the
1956 Democratic presidential nom
ination, did not make any direct
mention of politics in his 30-min
ute broadcast address.
But he did recall the “egghead”
word bandied about in the 1952
campaign when he quoted a letter
Wilson once wrote to Cordell Hull:
“I am not afraid of making ours
a highbrow party for highbrows
who at least think and compre
hend the standards of high con
duct.”
Stevenson added in an aside
“there has been no recorded iden
tification between highbrows and
eggheads, however.”
Stevenson’s address was almost
entirely serious in tone. In his
proposal for U.N. action he did
not mention how United Nation
troops would be raised.
