Army Dredge
Seeking to Free
Big Battleship
Norfolk. Va., Jan. 18 Hit An
army-manned dredge came down
Chesapeake bay today to try to
suck the mud from under the
navy's only active battleship and
refloat the storied "Big Mo."
The Missouri, scene of the offi
cial Japanese surrender in 19-15,
has rested on an "inconvenient"
mudbank about three miles out in
the bay since yesterday morning.
Its first cruise under Capt. Wil
liam U. Brown, the new skipper,
lasted just one hour. A navy in
vestigation board was appointed
and seemed likely to begin an of
ficial inquiry even before the 45,.
000-ton vessel was moving again.
Tugs Ineffective
Sixteen tugs tried vainly to pull
the glistening ship from the mud
yesterday, but only pulled her
harder aground.
The dredge, staffed by army en
gineers, arrived off old Point
Comfort early this morning.
The dredge was called in from
Baltimore. Commander John Paul
Preston, public information offi
cer for the Atlantic fleet, said it
probably would try to "dig" the
mud from under the Missouri by
a hydraulic suction process,
' About eight feet of the "Big
Mo" hull was above water at low
tide but she was not badly dam
aged. Emergency crews siphoned
40,000 barrels of fuel oil from the
vessel and removed tons of sup
plies and heavy equipment.
Cmdr. Preston said the remain
der of the oil, ammunition and
most of the 71-officer, 1,400-man
crew might have to be taken off
before the dredge could go to
work.
Brown, who assumed command
of the Missouri last Dec. 10, was
taking it on a routine training
cruise for Guantanamo bay, Cuba,
when It ran aground In 24 feet of
water. The Missouri draws 34
feet.
SELLS fRUCKIMJ SERVICE
. Madras, Jan. 18 Clair Cram,
member of a pioneer north Jef
ferson county cattle ranch .fam
ily, has sold his trucking service,
which covers central Oregon
points and which operates trucks
between Madras and Portland, to
Carl Barnett, formerly of Mau
pin, and Ray Shaver, who came
here from Bend. Cram launched
the business three years ago. He
handles substantial numbers of
cattle for stock ranchers of the
area, ,
Cram said he would remain
wllh the new operators for an
other six weeks. He has not de
cided on his future business, he
said.
The rocket, or rocket engine, is
the only type of jet-propulsion
that can be used miles above the
earth where the atmosphere con
tains too little oxygen to support
combustion; a rocket carries both
fuel and oxygen.
