Ships Collide
In St. Lawrence;
A! Least 18 Dead
British Carrier
Sinks 'Like A Stone'
Quebec City - 0IPH - A Brit
ish ore carrier sank "like a
stone" Saturday after a three
way collision in the St. Law
rence river in thick fog that
badly damaged two other
freighters.
Authorities said Saturday
night that 18 crewmen aboard
the ore carrier were killed,
16 were missing and 16 .sur
vived. The survivors were
taken to hospitals in Quebec
City and Baie St. Paul.
Most of the crew of 50 on
the British-officered, 12,863
ton vessel Tritonica were Chi
nese from Formosa and Hong
Kong.
Ship Sliced in Half
A crewman of the Tritonica
said that the impact of the
collision sliced the ship in
half, and it went down in
about eight minutes. Most of
the crew was asleep; others
jumped or were flung into the
water.
The collision shortly before
3 a.m. (EDT) Saturday was
the second maritime mishap
In the St. Lawrence involving
more than one vessel within
a few hours.
Friday night ,the 13,925-ton
Swiss freighter Bariloche,
heading for the Atlantic with
a cargo of grain, bumped into
two lake freighters in dense
fog off the Isle of Orleans
near Quebec. All three vessels
went safely into Quebec har
bor. In Heavy Fog
Saturday's collision was re
ported by the skipper of the
6,153-ton British freighter
Roonagh Head, which was
bound for England with a
general cargo. The skipper
radioed that his ship had col
lided in heavy fog with the
Tritonica in the 31-mile wide
St. Lawrence ship channel off
Petit Riviere St. Francois, a
village 40 miles east of
Quebec.
A Spanish freighter hit" the
linking ship a few minutes
later.
The Hoonagh Head's hull
was split but its captain de
cided after a preliminary ex
amination to make his own
way back to Quebec.
Reports reaching here said
the sorel, Quebec-bound Tri
tonica "sank like a stone"
within a few minutes, giving
Its sleeping crew practically
no time to escape.

Morford Sentenced
To Die For Murder

Reno, Nev. - WPII - Lester E.
Forford III, Friday was found
guilty of first degree murder
and sentenced to die in the
Nevada gas chamber for the
fatal shooting of a 23-year-old
Medford, Oregon man last
August in Reno.

lion as Dist. Judge John Bar

the execution date for the
week of Sept. 23 at the state
prison in Carson City.
After the verdict was pro

in Santa Rosa, Calif., and then
lighted a cigarette as he
walked out of the Washoe

The three judges deliber

confessed the crime and it
was the judges' duty to set the
degree of guilt and fix the
punishment.
Judge Barrett said the un

after "total consideration of
all evidence."

the best vantage point in the

was Sunday morning. For the
Japanese, it was the final total
solar eclipse of this century,

Test Ban Accord
Sino-Soviet Peace
Chinese Leave;
Split Appears
Irreconcilable
Defense Treaty
May Be Scrapped
Moscow - HOT - The Sino
Sovict peace talks collapsed
in final failure Saturday and
the Chinese delegation return
ed to Peking still convinced
that war and bloody revolu
tion are the only way to
achieve the aims of Commun
ism. Although the Soviet Union
refused to budge from Pre
mier Nikita S. Khrushchev's
avowed policy of "peaceful co
existence," the Soviet leader
attended a farewell dinner
Saturday night for the Chin
ese "comrades" in an out
ward gesture of goodwill.
Irreconcilable
But the split between the
two Communist giants ap
peared irreconcilable, marked
by bitter exchanges of recrim
ination that divides the Com
munist world into those who
follow Khrushchev's line and
those who espouse the more
warlike line of Mao Te-Tung.
What effect the split may
have on the world may not
be known for decades. But
in the immediate future the
prospects appeared to be for
an easing of tension between
the Soviet Union and the
West.
Meanwhile in London, well
informed Communist diplo
mats were reported to have
said that the Soviet Union
is threatening to scrap its 13-
year-old mutual defense
treaty with China.
The treaty is the backbone
of the Sino-Soviet alliance
and calls for the Soviet Union
to come to the aid of Peking
if China is attacked, and vice
versa. Made In 1950
The "treaty of mutual as
sistance and friendship" was
concluded in Moscow early
In 1950 with Communist
leader Mao Tze-Tung and was
accompanied by pledges of
eternal friendship.
The Communist diplomatic
sources said the Kremlin
made it clear to the Chinese
it will not consider itself
bound by the treaty provision
because of Peking's rejection
of Premier Nikita S. Khrush
chev's policy of peaceful co
existence.
