Santa Maria Pull s Up Short
For Con fab In Recife Harbor
RECIFE, Brazil (AP) The
Santa Maria headed in from the
Smith Atlantic tuward Recife with
her captive passengers today, but
stopped snort ot we oock jor an
other parley to determine future
action.
A U.S. Navy spokesman an
nounced this development as
President Janio Quadros met with
his cabinet in Brasilia, 1,000 miles
to the southwest, to decide what
to do about the hijacked ship.
As for the rebels themselves,
Quadros sent assurances of politi
cal asylum to their chief, Capt.
Henrique Galvao. He promised to
do anything more than existing
Jaws permit.
Quadros' message did not meas
ure up completely to Galvao's re
quest to unload passengers, refuel
and return to sea to continue hi
fight against the dictatorial re
gime in Portugal.
The1 new chief executive, Inau
gurated Tuesday, radioed felicita
tions to Galvao and recalled a
meeting they had several months
ago in Caracas, Venezuela. It was
in Caracas that Galvao plotted
seizure of the $16.6 million Por
tuguese liner in hopes of starting
to unseat Portugal's premier, An
tonio Salazar.
Quadros showed concern for the
passengers aboard, saying:
"We accompany with profound
feelings the fortunes of the hun
dreds of passengers who find
themselves under your guard and
responsibility."
The U.S. Navy spokesman said
Rear Adm. Allen E .Smith Jr.,
and Brazilian authorities con
ferred aboard the ship about land
ing of the passengers and the San
ta Maria's future.
Brazilian President Is Silent
On Fate Of Portuguese Ship
RECIFE, Brazil (AP) -WithBrazilian navy ships and tugs
the Santa Maria steaming into Re
cife from the South Atlantic, Bra
zil's new president, Janio Quadros,
was keeping a silent tongue about
the situation. Quadros took over
the office of president bf Brazil
Tuesday.
It appeared, however, -that his
accession to power and responsi
bility for Brazil's normally friend

have modified his earlier promise
of safe clearance to his "old
friend' Galvao and the 20,906-ton
liner he seized In the Crlabbean 11

The blast-damaged Grand Hotel,
one of the few buildings remaining
unrepaired since the Aug. 7, 1959
explosion, lias been sold by its

a "senior citizen's" home.

Officers of the U.S. destroyer
Damato said the negotiations took
place about three miles off the
port, outside Brazilian territorial
waters. The Santa Maria was
standing still in the water under
a noontime sun.
Gen. Humberto Delgado, exiled
chief of the Portuguese revolu
tionary movement against Sala
zar, was in Recife. One Teport
was that he had talked with Bra
zilian officials and then relayed
Galvao a request to dock.
It was not clear whether this
would mean that Galvao was to
take up the political asylum of
fered by President Quadros with
out a final decision on whether he
could keep control of the ship.
A Rio lie Janeiro radio station,
Radio Jornal Do Commercio, said
Delgado was among the men who
boarded the Santa, Maria for the
hh consultations.
The sudden development came I
as preparations were maae to re
ceive the ship at port under heavy
guard.
A last-minute hitch preventing
Galvao from sailing again could
mean that the nearly 60O passen
gers, including about two score
Americans, would have to be dis
embarked by ship in the calm wa
ters near the channel to Recife
harbor.
Escorted by three U. S. destroy
ers and a Brazilian destroyer,
Galvao moved the Santa Maria
into Recife harbor after a night
of uncertainty and confusion.
Galvao had shied away from
entering port without iron-clad
guarantees against losing his $16.6
million prize, which he calls a
liberated part of Portuguese na
tional territory.
mk'ht rin the lob
The liner was reported in Inter
national waters off Ponta de
Pedra, not far from Recife, dur
ing the night.
A Brazilian radio station quoted
Galvao as saying he would enter
Recife today provided he was
given guarantees by President
Quadros that he could sail out
again to carry on his fight against
Portuguese Premier Antonio de
Oliveira Salazar.
Vowing "we will never sur
render," the rebel leader report
edly wnrned again he would scut
tle the $lfl.6-million cruise ship
before he would give her up
. U.S. Rear Adni. Allen E. Smith
Jr., negotiating (with Galvao for
removal of the passengers, said
after a 2'j hour conference with
the rebel leader that tho situation
was not "as definite as all con
cerned would like it to be."
Smith, who sailed back to Re
cife in the destroyer Gearing
after his talk aboard the Santa
Maria, gave indications that he
might be acting as a go-between
for tho rebels and the Brazilian
government. He said some of the
tilings he discussed with Galvao
had to be kept secret for the
present.
A. Navy spokesman said that If
plans to discharge the passengers
in Recife fall through, "the United
States naturally would continue
its Interest" in the case. Forty
six ' Americans are reported
among the passengers.
The U.S. consul at Recife, who
boarded the Santa Maria -with
Smith, said ho found all the
American passengers in good
spirits though "anxious to get off
anywhere. '. the consul, brnest b.
Guadcrrama, said most of the
Americans had enough money to
pav tur their passage home from
Brazil.
One American passenger said
the Santa Maria's regular crew
of 354 in much the same hostage

For Senior Citizen Home
lie stated that tentative plans
call for conversion of the 102 rooms
into 86 units, of which part would
be devoted to apartments and the
remainder to single rooms.
Stay As At Present
The street y level businesses
would be retained as they are
now, according to plans. The lob
by and the upper floors would be
converted into the homes for el
derly persons.
The Grand Hotel was purchased
after the blast by attorneys Spen
cer Yates, Edward Murphy and
Gordon Carlson from Paul K. Ryan
and C, D. Albright, with Ryan re
taining one-fourth interest along
with the quarter interest of the
three attorneys.
Blast Demise
Blast damage to the hotel build
ing was tremendous. Being one of
the taller buildings of the city and
in a direct line with the explosive
force, partitions throughout the ho
tel were twisted and buckled. How
ever, the outside walls and frame
work were found structurally
sound,
. 11 will lie necessary to tear
out much of the interior and build
from the ground floor up, except
for the repair work already done
on street-level rentals. This had
to be done to the Umpqua Hotel,
as well.
Inttell Plumbing
One of the problems encounter
ed was that while insurance money
would put the building back in its
original condition, it would not al
low for new plumbing and electri
cal work necessary to comply with
the building codes. Practically all
new plumbing and wiring will have
to be installed, as well as making
other improvements necessary to

stand in his own defense Tuesday
afternoon. However, there were
some discrepancies as to the cir
cumstances involved. Hubbard
claimed he shot in self defense.
According to the testimony, Hub
bard shot Severson in the arm,
after Walter Jacks, Jim Stutzman
and Severson had called at Hub
bard's home west of Sutherlin, for
Jacks to obtain the address of a
friend in Portland.
Nature of Visit
When the three men came into
the house, Hubbard got up off a
davenport, went to his bedroom,
presumably to get the address of
the friend and returned with his
gun. He fired twice, one shot pass
ing between Stutzman and Sever
son, and the second shot bitting
Severson in the arm.
The three men testified on the
stand that theirs' was a friendly
visit, but Hubbard in his testimony
claimed that he had ordered Sever
son to stay away from his place.
He said Severson had borrowed
money from him and had never
paid it back, and that he had
come only to cause trouble.
Loan Angle
Hubbard said Severson was a
friend, "until I found out what
kind of an animal he was. He's
not human. I wanted to get rid
of him," he said on the stand. He
added that Severson always "dun
