15 of 40 Freighter Crew
Drowned When Ship Sinks
In Irish Sea Hurricane
LONDON, (yPi—The British
freigher Tresillian sank in the
Irish Sea Tuesday under the ham
mering of winds of hurricane
force and at least 15 of her 40
man crew were drowned.
Other ships plucked 19 surviv
ors and 3 dead men from the
water in perilous rescue opera
tions and reported sighting 12
more bodies floating face down.
Hope for the half dozen others
aboard was slight. One of the
bodies recovered was that of the
master of the 7,373-ton vessel,
identified as a Captain Winter.
The known death toll of seamen
in the five-day storm that sank
four other ships in waters around
the British Isles mounted to 37.
While winds with gusts of up
to 100 miles an hour whistled
from Ireland to the Netherlands,
two other ships were missing and
feared to be in serious trouble.

Communist-Bloc Nations
Forming Military Alliance
To Counter West's Plans
MOSCOW, UP—1The Soviet Un
ion and seven other Communist
ruled east European nations yes
terday pressed ahead toward for
mation of a formal military alli
ance aimed at countering western
defense arrangements.
Poland presided at the second
session Tuesday of the Communist
European Collective Security Con
ference, also attended by repre
sentatives from Albania, Bulgaria,
Czechoslavakia, Hungary, Roman
ia, East Germany, and six of the
Soviet Union’s republics.
Observers were on hand from
Red China.
The delegates Monday heard
Soviet Foreign Minister V. M.
Molotov call on their govern
ments to “consolidate their forces
and considerably strengthen
them” if the Paris agreements to
rearm West Germany are ratified.
NATO Commander Says
West Must Develop More
Ability to Hit Back
LOS ANGELES, Wl—The west
ern world must develop “increas
ing ability to hit back” at the
forces of aggressive Communism,
Field Marshal Montgomery de
clared Tuesday.
“The best insurance for peace
today would be a firm declaration
on the part of the western group
of free nations that if attacked we
will defend ourselves with all the
means at our disposal,” Lord
Montgomery told the Los Angeles
World Affairs Council.
“The essential point is that we
ourselves should be able to re
ceive a surprise nuclear attack, to
absorb it, and to survive to hit
back and continue the fight,” said
the deputy commander of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza
tion.
Red China Says
Strange Device
Dropped to ‘Spies’
TOKYO, OPI—Peiping Radio yes
terday said an elaborate device
had been airdropped to an espio
nage agent in Manchuria so an
American plane could pick him
up in flight.
It was the Chinese Communists
latest propaganda blast in support
of their recent sentencing of 13
Americans to prison on espionage
charges.
The broadcast said the agent
was to have been picked up by
John Thomas Downey, 34, New
London, Conn., and Richard
George Fecteau, 27, Lynn, Mass.
Downey was sentenced to life and
Fecteau to 20 years. Both were
civilians. The other 11 were air
men.
The reported trial and convic
tion has been bitterly attacked by
both the United States and Great
Britain.
Peiping said the apparatus con
sisted of 16 sections of aluminum
tube, upwards of 100 feet of nylon
rope, and a harness.
It said the aircraft was equipped
with a hookup device for picking
up an agent the Reds identified as
Li Chun-Ying.
“The aluminum tubes are
screwed together to form uprights
about 25 feet high,” Peiping said.
“Photographic instructions found
with the tubes and ropes show
how to put the whole equipment
together. These photos show that
the poles are fixed about 30 feet
apart, and a rope stretched be
tween them passes down to the
harness.
“In the pictures a man, an Am
erican, strapped into the harness,
is lying on the ground, ready to
be hooked up to the passing air
craft.
“The whole thing looks like a
giant high-.jump stand. There are
Japanese houses in the back
ground of the photos.”
Peiping said the device was “on
show” at the trial of the two Am
ericans.
Lincolns Get 1st and 2nd,
Cadillacs 3rd in Road Race
JUAREZ, Mexico, iff—Lincolns
won first and second places in
the big stock car division of the
Pan American road race, with a
Cadillac third. The race ended
Nov. 23. The first Associated
Press dispatch on the finish in
correctly stated that a Cadillac
was first in the division.
Ray Crawford of Pasadena,
Calif., cashed in $17,200 by win
ning the big stock car division in
his Lincoln. His unofficial elapsed
time was 20:49.19. Chuck Steven
son’s record, set last year, also in
a Lincoln, is 20:31.32.
Walt Waulker of Long Beach,
Calif., in a Lincoln, placed second
in the division, with Keith An
drews of Colorado Springs. Colo.,
third in a Cadillac.
Andrews won the final lap of
the race, which gave rise to the
erroneous impression that he had
also won the entire race.

Pro- and Anti - McCarthy Senators
In Angry Clash as Vote Date Nears
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON, UR—Sen. Jen
ner iR-Indl angrily took Sen.
Flanders <R-Vt> to task in the
Senate Tuesday for a broadcast in
which Jenner said Flanders re
ferred to the Soviet peoples as
“brothers.” Flanders snapped that
Jenner “has taken leave of his
intelligence.”
The hot clash came as the Sen
ate was moving into the final
stages of its long debate over pro
posals to censure Sen. McCarthy.
Flanders and Jenner have been
leading figures in the controversy
over McCarthy’s conduct. Flan
ders introduced the original reso
lution of censure. Jenner has bat
tled against censure.
When Tuesday’s session opened,
Flanders put into the Congres
sional Record the transcript of a
Thanksgiving Day broadcast he
made over the government’s
“Voice of America” radio net
work.
About half an hour later, while
Sen. Brown (R-Nev) had the floor
for a speech opposing censure of
McCarthy, Jenner arose and
asked permission of Brown to
make a statement.
Jenner, speaking with Flanders
sitting only three seats away, said
Flanders had referred to the So
viet peoples as “brothers” at a
time when Russia was shooting
down American planes and that
Red China was imprisoning U.S.
military men on “trumped-up
charges.”
Flanders, replying immediately,
said “The gentleman is beside
himself. He has taken leave of his
intelligence.”
As he attempted to continue his
reply, Jenner repeatedly inter
rupted him, demanding that Flan
ders answer the question as to
why he used the terms “brothers”
and “friends” in speaking of the
Soviet peoples.
Sen. Cotton (R-NH), who was
presiding, pounded his gavel in
an effort to halt Jenner, but the
Indianan paid no attention.
Flanders told Jenner that essen
tially what he was trying to do
in the broadcast was to make an
appeal to the Russian peoples for
friendship over the heads of the
Russian government.
Flanders finally ended the ex
change by asking all senators to
read the transcript of his broad
cast and saying he would leav 't
to their judgment.
