One crewman of the Japanese ship Kokoku Mam was killed, but the 43 others were plucked from bobbing lifeboats by two Coast Guard cutters. Three of the 43 were injured. The second ship involved in ruesday night's collision, the Mil itary Sea Transportation Service vessel Asterion, headed for San Francisco Bay but developed an oil leak and stopped off the Golden Gate. Two tugs put a line aboard the 6,295-ton Kokoku Mam and took her under tow. The vessel had a gash 30 feet wide and 45 feet high on its starboard side. The vessels collided at 10:05 p.m. PDT, five miles off Point Reyes, 35 miles north of San Francisco. The 7,771-ton Asterion was en route to San Francisco from the Far East. The Japanese vessel left San Francisco earlier Tuesday for Japan. Very Little Visibility The Coast Guard said that vis ibility was a quarter of a mile when its rescue vessels arrived on the scene. The Kokoku Mara was dead in the water, and list ing to starboard. The Asterion had a large hole above the waterline on the bow but was not taking water.

The Japanese vessel's engine- room, fireroom and No. 3 hold were reported flooded. An engine- room crewman identified only by the last name Kamayishi was killed, apparently by drowning. Capt. Seizo Ishakawa, 44, or dered the Kokoku Mam abandoned about five hours after the colli sion. The vessel's two lifeboats were tossed about by 6 to 10 feet swells. Ishakawa, his first mate and two crewmen were the last to leave the vessel, jumping into the Pacific and swimming to a lifeboat Then as dawn began to break, the hazardous task of bringing them aboard the cutters Coman che and Magnolia began. The Comanche, under the com mand of Cmdr. David Webb, Seat tle, made three passes at the life boat with Ishakawa and 23 sailors. On the third try a rope was made fast. The Japanese captain was car rying his ship's soaked log with him and as the lifeboat pulled up to the Comanche, he tossed it on the deck. Crew Members Rescued The heavy swells pitched the cutter and lifeboat 10 to 12 feet. As one crested the top of a wave, the other dipped into a trough. And as they passed each other, Coast Guardsmen grasped the drenched Japanese crewmen and wrestled them over the rail. Many of the Japanese were bare-chested, having town off their shirts in anticipation of having to swim for it. But as they scram bled over the rail they wore wide grins and shook hands with their American rescuers. Coast Guardsmen immediately gave the crewmen clothing and took them below to their mess for coffee and cigarettes. "The operation was a little tick lish at times," said Commander Webb laconically. One of the injured crewmen was reported to have been struck In the abdomen as he left his ship. The nature of the other injuries was not known. Kennedy begins 5-day tour in COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo.

The strike was called against the giant U. S. Plywood Corp. and the St. Regis Timber Co. by the International Woodworkers of America (IWA) and the Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union (LSW.) Negotiations broke down Tuesday afternoon. Eight operations of U. S. Ply wood and five of the St. Regis firm were affected. These two firms are members of the so-called "Big Six" which conducted negotiations with the unions separately from other lum ber companies throughout the Douglas fir region. No Indication There was no immediate indi cation of when or if the strike would spread and what action the employer group might take. Rep resentatives of the Big Six planned a meeting here this aft ernoon to discuss the situation. A spokesman for the unions said negotiations were terminated with the two firms and "discontinued" against the other four large com panies Weyerhaeuser, Crown Zel lerbach. International Paper and Rayonier. Talks also were discontinued with the Timber Operators Coun cil (TOC), which represents 196 I separate operations from Alaska to Northern California. No strike against the TOC or the four large firms was planned at the time, a spokesman said. Expired Saturday Contracts between the employ ers and the unions expired last Saturday. One company remained in nego tiations with the unions Scott Paper Co. Talks were scheduled for Thursday. A LSW spokesman said talks would be carried on with Georgia Pacific Corp. at "some future time." The company is not a member of the Big Six. The IWA said it had scaled down its demands from a 40-cent hourly increase over three years to 35 cents. The LSW had asked cents per hour over the three years. Unions also sought pay tor trav el time and benefits in some job classifications. Harvev Nelson of the IWA said the employer group had offered in wages, 8.5 cents per nour lor 1963, five cents for 1964 and 2 1-4 per cent in 1965. About 79,000 workers are in the two unions in the West. Nelson indicated this would be a "selective" strike that is. against those employers which are able to withstand a strixe. The last general strike was in 1954. No Immediate Action A spokesman for the Big Six said no action was planned im mediately to meet the strike. However, he said that the mem bers would meet today to plan a course of action. He said it was not known if a lock - out was planned by the four members of the management group not being struck. About 6,000 workers in both un ions were involved in the strike. The IWA was striking U.S. Ply wood operations in Reedsport, Eu gene, Roseburg, Willamina and Mapleton in Oregon and Seattle, Wash.; and St Regis operations in Olympia and two at Tacoma, Wash. The LSW was striking U.S. Ply wood at Lebanon, Ore., and Red- dine. Calif., and St. Regis at Morton and Seattle, Wash.

Within eight hours after the great doors of the massive church had been flung open, an estimated 230,000 mourners had moved past the red-draped catafalque where the late pontiff's body lay In state. Even as the mighty crowd paid its last respects, the church ma chinery for choosing a new pope began its operation. The Vatican announced that the College of Cardinals will meet June 19 to begin selection of a successor to John XX11I. Many of the 82 car dinals were in Rome, and others were on their way from all over the world. Simultaneously, the Vatican newspaper Osservatore Romano published excerpts from me late Pope's diary in which he frequent ly expressed his complete submis sion to the will of God and com mented on his hopes for the Ecumenical Council which he called to bring the church into step with modern times and to work for union of all Christianity. The council was suspended auto matically with his death Monday, and it will be up to his successor to decide whether to reconvene it. Huge Crowd Gathers By the time the doors were opened at 8 a.m., more than 10, 000 persons had gathered in St. Peter's Square, their numbers stretching across its cobblestones. Soviets te space plans WARSAW (UPI) Soviet plans to launch an unspecified number of spacemen this year after a 10 month break in manned space flights were announced Tuesday to an East-West space meeting here. Prof. Anatoly Blagonravov, head of the department of technical sciences at the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences and a space rocket expert, made the announcement but gave no exact dates or de tails. He was reporting to the Inter national Committee for Outer Space Research (COSPAR). Dr. Richard Porter, chief of the U.S. delegation, also reported on Am erican space plans. Western observers said Blagon ravov's report, although vaguely worded, was the most specific disclosure made by the Soviets thus far on their space plans for 1963. They have announced no man ned flights since the double flight last August of Andrian Nikolayev and Pavel Popovich, who com pleted 64 and 48 orbits respec tively. Blagonravov told the COSPAR delegates that the manned space shots during 1963 would be sup plemented by two unmanned shots toward Venus and Mars and more launchings of small space satel lites.

The throng, many of whom had waited outside in the rain, moved past the body 20 abreast at a rate of nearly 30,000 an hour. For the first time the Vatican ordered St. Peter's kept open all night for the mass tribute to the man who had shattered so many Vatican tradi tions. By the time the doors of the church close again Thursday night, additional hundreds of thou sands will have passed by the body. There was little tune for those who passed the bier in an unend ing stream men In black ties, women In veils, nuns and priests in their habits to do more than cross themselves before they passed on. ' Women brought their children for a final look. Other dropped a single rose or small bouquet of flowers as they passed. Many were in tears. Vendors Sell Pictures Outside, street vendors sold mementoes and pictures of the late Pope and black veils for wo men. The catafalque on which the body of Pope John rested is the same one used for Pope Pius XII in 1958. It has been inclined more, however, to permit a better view of the body, which Is held in place by bands of silk across the chest and knees. At the sides of the catafalque are four Noble guards, four secret supernumerary chamberlains, four Swiss guards and four Palatine guards.

It was a full 30 minutes before the bazaar's inhabitants crept back. They carefully spread news papers over the dead.
