I By 9 a.m., the convoy was less than 150 miles from its goal Fal mouth, near the southwest tip of England, where a hero's welcome awaits Capt. Henrik Kurt Carlsen, kipper of the crippled freighter. v Rising winds and heavy At lantic swells tipped the Flying -Enterprise another 10 degrees to port early Monday, but at 8 'a.m. the escorting U.S. destroyer "Willard Keith reported only a "moderate sea. ! I A light fog limited visibility to three to six miles. The barometer jvas steady and the wind was in the west. j The deeper list to 70 degrees was reported by the radio operator of the British rescue tug, but it paused little concern. "We will get her in all right," the operator said. Carlsen was in high spirits at he approaching end of his modern Odyssey. He had ridden out the ttorm on the leaking freighter lone for a week before a mate of the Turmoil leaped aboard last Friday night, t ' The tiny armada crept toward 'land at the steady rate of three -knots. The Turmoil said the 'Enterprise was "riding well , . . Vlt's gone without any hitches." J Skipper Dan Parker of the Tur moil was playing his tow like a fcsh. The 1136-ton tug was pull ing the 6711-ton, heeled over freighter on a single wire not much thicker than a child's wrist -five inches in circumference ind about an inch and a half in diameter. r Parker had not ruled out the possibility he might have to take the Enterprise to some port other lhan Falmouth. All depended on the weather. The Turmoil sail Carlsen and Kenneth Dancy, the mate of the tug who joined him Friday In a daring leap, had a "very rest ful night," taking turns standing iwatch. 5 Asked if Carlsen appeared tired by the ordeal, the Turmoil ra dioman replied, "undoubtedly he's tired but his voice comes through loud and clear everytime he comes on the radio. His spirit is lways cheerful, and the Tur moil's mate being aboard with him has been a help.' ' Carlsen was reported espec ially cheered by a message from "his Danish father Martin walt zing at Falmouth to greet him. . and by the companionship of the Turmoil's mate. u- The full story of Dancy'i dar ing leap from the Turmoil to the Enterprise came Monday from Cmdr. Leslie O'Brien, captain of the escorting destroyer Keith, in a message to U.S. Navy headquar ters In London. I "The Turmoil was maneuvering In a modornte to rough sea with her stern to the stern of the En terprise during one of the Initial Unsuccessful attempts to pass a towing wire," he reported. F "Dancy was standing on the Item of the tug when a high wave lifted the tug of the stern high and close to the Enterprise. Dancy saw his opportunity, leaped across the gap, grabbed the taff tail and swung his body over on the deck of the enterprise."

(P) Airplane wreckage sighted near the top of 7650-foot Basset Peak in the Gali uro Mountains of Southern Ari zona has been identified as that of an F-51 Mustang fighter miss ing since Dec. 30. The Civil Air Patrol announced that a ground party had reached the crash scene and found the body of the pilot hanging from his parachute a few yards from a wing of the demolished plane.

Merl Young, onetime RFC examiner facing perjury charges resulting from an "influence peddling in vestigation, pleaded innocent Monday. Young originally was scheduled to be arraigned before District Judge James R. Kirkland last Fri day. He flew here from Florida Monday. Kirkland set Young's bond at' $1000. Kirkland issued a bench war rant for Young's arrest when he failed to appear Friday, but it was held in abeyance when a check showed that formal notice never had been served for Young to appear. Never Got Subpena Young told newsmen that he never received a subpena and "first heard about this by reading about it in a newspaper." Young's attorneys, William A. Keyhoe of Washington and Ver non Turner of Homestead, Fla., also said the ex-government em ploye now operator of a plush motel at Homestead, Fla., did not receive notification of last Fri day's arraignment schedule. Young was indicted by a fed eral grand jury on Dec. 19 on charges he lied when he testified under oath before a Senate sub committee that he never received fees for representing anyone with RFC, Mink Coat Present Young's wife, a former White House stenographer, was men' tioned prominently in the Senate's investigation of the big lending agency. Testimony was presented that she got a natural royal pastel mink coat, worth $9450, through Atty. Joseph H. Rosenbaum, who represented clients seeking RFC loans. Geologists Conduct Survey Man May Tap Sun For Powe. By JOSEPH L. MYLER United Prcif Stiff Correspondent WASHINGTON (U.R) Am erican geologists believe man will tap the sun for power in the next 50 years but doubt he'll do much industrially with atomic energy in that period. This was disclosed Monday when the American Geological Institute published results of a survey conducted among "leading U.S. geologists.' "Despite continuing depletion of our mineral resources," the insti tute reported, "substantial indus trial use of atomic energy in the next 50 years is considered rela tively Improbable." Supplementary Energy by the year 2000, atomic ener gy may be a source of power but it will merely supplement other sources, the institute said, where as "by that qate heat and power from solar energy should reach a substantial figure and assist materially In making up any deficit in heat and power iud- plies." Tha institute said "there Is al most unanimous agreement that by 1975 direct production of nat ural petroleum will be past Its peak and Importations from for eign sources will be insufficient to meet our domestic needs." Coal Important So by 2000, according to the geologists, "most of our industrial power will be derived from treat ment of oil shale and coal, sup plemented by water power, solar energy and atomic energy." And if, In the next half cen tury, man masters the secret of photosynthesis the method by which green plants use the sun's rays to manufacture food "some energy" may be developed from that source by 2000. In general, the institute sees the power picture of the future this way: "Lwuid fuels from the large oil shale deposits of the Colorado plateau and the low-grade coals of the Midwest and plains areas will supplement the declining supplies of natural petroleum. "More water power will be used, but the proportion in rela tion to the national energy de mands will probably be no greater than today. "The use of powdered coal to replace industrial fuel oil and increased use of coal as petro leum deposits ate depleted should double coal production within 25 or 30 years. "Much of this increase will be used in liquid or gaseous form rather than in the solid form to which we are accustomed." Extra OH and Gaa S. G. Lasky of the U. S. Geo logical Survey predicted that in the next 25 years extra supplies of oil and gas will be produced from "the controlled burning of underground coal teams in much experimentally todsy j, the same way as is being donelbama.
