Listing Vessel
Towed Slowly
Toward Britain
Stubborn Skipper
- Winning Battle
V FALMOUTH, England J.R
The tug Turmoil towed the broken,
listing American freighter Flying
Enterprise and its doughty "stay
put" skipper past the half-way
mark Monday in a race against
time and heaving seas to bring
them safely into port.
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."

RFC Examiner
Pleads Innocent
Merl Young Denies
Perjury Charges
WASHINGTON u.R)E. 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.
