Routine Order
Might Have Saved
Princess Kathleen
VANCOUVER, B.C., (£>)—Chief
Officer C. W. Savage testified to
day before a board of inquiry that
he had failed to* give a routine
order which might have saved
the Canadian Pacific Steamship’s
Alaska cruise ship Princess Kath
leen from the rocks. t
The $4,000,000 luxury liner was
lost Sept. 7 off Point Lena, 17
miles north of Juneau. No lives
were lost.
Chief Officer Savage, on watch
on the bridge, said he had ordered
the helmsman to alter course to
starboard but “I neglected to tell
the the quartermaster to straight
en up the ship after the correc
tion had been made.”
Just prior to his order he said
he figured the ship was running
too close to Shelter Island. He
said rain squalls obscured the
land at times.
, Capt. Graham Hughes of the
Kathleen and lookout man George
Kramer told a different story of
visibility conditions.
Capt. Hughes said he could see
land up to 10 miles away when
he ran onto the bridge. Kramer
said he could see lights and land.
Quartermaster Sam Mitchell
testified a light, misty rain was
fulling when the ship struck the
reeks. •
“I did not realize the ship was
* swinging on the starboard helm,”
Savage said.
He said the lookout reported
land a minute or less before
grounding.
Savage gave the order “hard to
starboard” and a few . seconds
later the ship struck the rorcks.
Sen. Pat McCarran Hits
U.N. for * Harboring Reds
NEW YORK, <JP)—Sen. Pat 'Mc
Carran (D-Nev-), calling a tempor
ary halt to Internal Security Sub
committee hearings, says the Uni
ted Nations should “clean its own
house o*f Communism and- sub
versive .activities.”
Several' American citizens-.em
ployed at" the U.N. have been.1
questioned by the subcommittee
about'" possible' Communist lies
during four weeks of intermittent
hearings. '*• 1 • ; “
McCarran, chairman of the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee of which
the Internal Security Subcommit
tee is a part, spoke to newsmen
Wednesday after an 80 - minute
subcommittee executive session.
“The U.N. was not set up as a
propaganda agency for any ideo
logy,” McCarran said, adding:
"'The U.N. brings its people from
abroad with diplomatic immunity,
hence there is no way for screen
ing them. If, as and when they
come here and engage in subver
sive activities against the United
States, it is time that was stopped.”

EISENHOWER PLANS
STUDY OF POLICIES
IN IRAN AND KOREA
(By the Associated Press)
In expectation that Korea will
be on the White House conference
agenda, Eisenhower is planning a
study of th-at matter with Gov. |
Dewey of New York, who will j
arrive here by plane about noon j
today. The New York governor.
visited the Korean battlefront in :
1951 and he has made a special j
study of U.S. foreign policy to
ward the Far East.
State Department officials are
expected to confer with the Presi
dent-elect or his representatives
next week on a new formula for
solving the Iranian problem.
The central idea of the formula j
seems designed to get Iranian oil I
flowing out and money for it flow- j
ing in again at the earliest possi- j
ble moment—without final settle- :
meat of the dispute between Iran j
and Britain over nationalization |
of Iran’s oil industry.
i
State Department authorities I
feel that the longer the present J
impasse continues — -and various j
Iranian agencies like the army !
and civil service go unpaid—the j
greater becomes the danger of a
collapse of civil authority and the
rise of Communist power in that
strategic Middle Eastern land.

Hooded Men’s Warnings
Alleged Responsible for
Yankee Leaving Miss. Job
TUPELO, Miss., (/P) — Newell
Anderson and his pretty wife
were on their way back to their
native North Dakota Thursday be
cause, the 26-year-old newsman
said, he had been warned to leave
here on ground that he is a
Yankee.
The couple started driving to
Fargo, N. D., late Wednesday
•about one hour ahead of the ulti
matum which Anderson said was
set by two hooded men after they
roughed him up in a wild auto
mobile ride Monday night.
“We don’t like foreigners com
ing in here and you’d better get
out of town,” Anderson said the
men told him.
Anderson, who had been cir
culation manager of the Tupelo
Journal for six weeks, said he
had received anonymous tele
phone threats for two weeks.
Mayor George Maynard said
that “the business of him (Ander
son* being a ‘damn Yankee’ had
nothing to do with his leaving.
There is something more behind
it.”
Maynard and other civic lead
ers in this northeast Mississippi
town of 15,000 said they would
get the true facts of the case “in
order to remove the unjustified !
black eye against Tupelo and the j
South.”
