Survivors Still Want
To Drift Across The
Pacific To Hawaii
LOS ANGELES, UP—The captain
and two crewmen who were res
cued in the Pacific from a raft on
which they were attempting to
float from San Francisco to Ha
j waii say they want to try it again.
Capt. Devere Baker, 38, of Pet
Ialuma, Calif., arrived here yester
day and said he hopes to recover
the five-sided raft in four or five
days. It has been sighted adrift
125 miles southwest of San Clem
ente Island.
The captain wants to repair
and re-outfit her and resume the
(attempt to drift with the currents
2,400 miles to Hawaii. The only
hitch, he said, is lack of funds to
tow the 32-foot craft to port.
Baker said the Lehi co'st $18,000
to build and $7,000 to equip. He
and its four crew members aban
doned it in‘heavy seas last July 15
180 miles southwest of San Fran

Doukbors Blamed For
Week-End Dynamiting
j In British Columbia
; TRAIL, B.C., UPl—Sons of Free
dom Doukbors were blamed today
for two weekend dynamite blasts
in interior British Columbia that
damaged a railway line and a
power line.
Police said the dynamiting of
the Canadian Pacific Railway’s
Kettle Valley lineion the outskirts
of Penticton and the blowing up
of power line poles some 30 miles
northeast of here had all the ear
marks of earlier terror raids by
the radical sect that has kept
B.C.’s Keetenay district in tur
moil for more than 20 years.
The Freedomites, who number
'' more than 3,000 in B.C., use arson
I and bombing attacks as a form of
| protest against man-made laws
and the B.C. government’s insis
tence that their children attend
school. They contend that en
forced school attendance is con
trary to their religious beliefs and
that education leads to strife and
wars.
Senate Moves To Limit
Debate On Atomic Bill
WASHINGTON, W—The Sen
ate balked today at an attempt by
the Senate GOP leadership to put
a blanket limit on debate on the
atomic energy bill but showed a
willingness to limit talk on in
, dividual amendments.
A motion to impose cloture, and
thereby limit all future debate to
one hour for each senator was
whipped by a 44 to 42 roll call
vote.
Then on the first amendment to
come up, the Senate agreed un
animously to halt debate after
two hours discussion — an hour
for each side.

Red Chinese Planes From Hainan
Shoot Down British Skymaster;
Eight of 18 Aboard Rescued
HONGKONG, UP—A big British <
Skymaster airliner carrying 18
persons was shot down off the
Red Chinese island of Hainan
Friday, and Great Britain Satur
day instructed its charge d'affaires
in Peiping to protest the attack.
“The two' aircraft which attacked
the plane could not have come
from anywhere else than from
Hainan, according to our informa
tion from Hong Kong,” a London
Foreign Office spokesman said.
Eight of the 18 persons aboard
the airliner were rescued.
In London, the Foreign Office
spokesman said the British gov
ernment acted on the basis of
statements from the pilot and
co-pilot of the Skymaster.
One of the American survivors,
Peter Shaw Thatcher, 27, of Ston
ington, Conn., said from his Hong
Kong hospital bed that the at
tacking fighters were propellor
driven and made “half a dozen
strafing passes.” He said un
doubtedly some passengers were
struck by bullets and he thought
“many were dead before we hit
the water.”
The port engine caught fire
after the first or second strafing
run, Thatcher said in an inter
view. After that, the big airliner
lost altitude rapidly. Thatcher
said one of the fighters kept on
strafing it as it went down.
He believed the plane was well
outside Communist waters at the
outset but that it hit the water
near Hainan Island.
Thatcher believed some of the
shells were incendiaries because
he got a “good smell of cordite.
Hainan, which lies about 200
miles southwest of Hong Kong, is
the site of several large Commu
nist military air bases.
Commercial airline routes from
Malaya, Indochina and Thailand
>
to Hong Kong normally detour
Hainan Island to the seaward side,
but lately some planes have cut
the detour short and flown up the
east coast of Hainan just offshore,
sources here said.
Since the Communists tradi
tionally use 12 miles as the terri
torial limit, this practice would
involve some risk.
Six Americans were among the
18 persons aboard the plane, five
of them members of the L. L. Par
ish family of Iowa Park, Tex., en
route from Bandoeng, Java, to
visit his parents. Mrs. Parish and
her daughter Valerie were among
the rescued.
Eyewitnesses aboard a commer
cial plane who saw the Skymaster
ditch said three survivors were
picked up by a small boat from
Hainan. If they were, they pre
sumably are in Communist hands.
TOKYO, OPt—U. S. fighter planes,
presumably from carriers, flew
protective cover while an Air
Force amphibian rescue plane
taxied within 100 yards of Red
China’s Hainan Island Friday and
picked up survivors from a raft
after a British airliner was shot
down there.
Saturday’s U.S. Air Force an
nouncement of the rescue move
said nine survivors were plucked
off a life raft but one died on the
way to the hospital.
“The pilot of the airliner said
that all other persons had been
killed by gunfire or by the impact
of the landing,” said the Air Force
statement.
Noreen Walsh, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. M. J. Walsh, who was
home for a visit for the first time
in seven years, left Friday for
California where she is a nurse.
