Survivors Give
Praise To Greek
Ship's Officers
CASABLANCA, Morocco
(UPD Survivors of the fire
ravaged Greek cruise liner La
konia praised the ship's officers
today but accused some of the
crew of panicking when the go
ing got rough.
However, rescued members
of the crew insisted they bat
tled the blaze for more than
two hours before it raged out of
control and the captain gave
the order to abandon ship.
The 20,314-ton Lakonia, which
left England Thursday night
with l,n?7 persons aboard, in
eluding C51 passengers, caught
fire Sunday night 130 miles
north of the Portuguese island
of Madeira and drifted aimless
ly for almost three days.
A spokesman for the ship's
agents in London said a tug
had secured a line to the
smouldering hulk and is towing
it to Las Palmas or Santa Cruz
de Tcnerife in the Canary Is
lands. .Montcalm Arrives
The British freighter Mont
calm docked in Casablanca
Tuesday night with 278 survi
vors and the bodies of 15 per
sons fished out of the water.
There was no panic among
the passengers," said Albert
Neal Spillcr of Torquay, Eng
land, who was rescued with his
wile. "The crew appeared to be
the panicky ones.
"Many passengers had no life
belts. The fire alarm bell was
so weak that it sounded like
someone calling the waiter to
ask for tea.
A spokesman for Ormos Ship
ping Co., Ltd., the ship's agents
in London, denied that the La
konia's life-saving and fire-fighting
equipment was faulty.
"The ship had all the valid
certificates which are required
for operation on such a passen
ger run, including all local in
spection licenses," he said.

as possible candidates are Sen.

Mentioned as possible Repub

been mentioned as a possible
candidate. His brother-in-law,
former Federal Power Commis

would not be a candidate for
governor in 1966 it Corbett was
elected secretary of state next
year.
Momentum Gained
On the Republican side, specu
lation around Elfstrom as being
anxious to enter the race has
rapidly gained momentum in
the past two weeks.
Last week Elfstrom, 59, left
for Arizona for what he told
acquaintenccs would be an ex
tended vacation. However, he
visited Appling Monday morning
in Salem.
There was immediate corri
dor speculation that Elfstrom
had marshalled strong Republi
can backing to run for secre
tary of slate. Friends say he
will announce his candidacy as
soon as Appling's statement is
issued.
He apparently is courting an
endorsement from Appling. But
because of the Oregon open pri
mary system, it is doubtful Ap
pling will endorse any candidate.

Pope Receives
Warm Greeting
In Roman Slum
VATICAN CITY (UPI)-Pope
Paul VI got one of the most en
thusiastic welcomes of his six
month reign today at a parish
church in the Roman slum of
ices, he appealed to diplomats
of the world to knock down
walls between peoples such as
those m Berlin and Jerusalem
"Is not your mission perhaps
that of working to knock down
Pietralata, where he celebrated j walls which divide peoples, to
the second of three Masses on announce peace to those near
and far away?" he asked
members of the Vatican diplo
matic corps tor whom he per

Mass in the hislme Chapel.
his Christmas schedule.
The smiling, 66-year-old lead
er of the world's Roman Cath
olics was presented with every
thing from flowers to a live
lamb.
With a wide smile on his face,
he held the kicking lamb high
above his head so the cheering
crowds could see it.
After saying the Christmas
Mass, the Pope paid an un
scheduled visit to a house about
300 yards from the church,
home of an elderly invalid
woman.
Waded Through Mud
He left his black limousine a
short distance from the home
of 65-year-old Emilia Proietti,
wno nas been bedridden by pa
ralysis for 15 years, and waded
into the courtyard through mud
and water left bv heavy rains.

Halts Fighting
At Least 17 Persons
Killed During Week
NICOSIA, Cyprus (UPI) - A
joint appeal from Britain,
Greece and Turkey produced a
Christmas lull today in the
fighting between Greeks and
Turks in which at least 17 per
sons have been killed this week.
Heavy fighting accompanied
by mortar and machine-gun
fire raged in the city Tuesday
night, but early today a govern
ment spokesman said the ap
peal from the three nations
guaranteeing Cyprus's inde
pendence has produced a cease
fire shortly after midnight.
Sporadic machine-gun fira
from an emplacement in the
minaret of a Turkish mosque
echoed through the pre-dawn
aarxness, mit by daybreak the
city was quiet. There were no
reports of trouble elsewhere on
the island.
It was uncertain, however,
how long peace would endura
among a people divided by tra
ditional enmity between Turks
and Greeks.
Order has been maintained
here during the three years
since Cyprus became independ
ent. Fighting flared this week
because of reported government
plans to amend the constitution
in a way which might lead to
discrimination against the Turk
ish minority.
Turks fired Tuesday on the
official residence of President
Makarios, who is a Greek Cath
olic archbishop. Makarios was

WEED, Calif. (UPI)-For 14 years the chil

from a man they never met.
Since I9.VI. Christmas has been brighter for
(hem because San Francisco businessman Frank
A. McMillan has scnl hundreds nf gills to be
distributed by the staff of the city's hospital.
It is McMillan's way nf repaying the city fur
its kindness In him in December of 1919 when
most of his family was snuffed out in an auto
crash. The head-on collision took the life of his
wife and two of his Ihrec children.
His 5-year-old daughter barely clung lo life
as she was taken lo the Weed Hospital.
As McMillan recalls: "The doctors had just
about given her up. The children of the commu
nity somehow learned of us and on Christmas
Day, they broughl a Chrislmas tree and toys to
Ihe hospital and placed (hem beside my daugh
ter's bed."
"Thai evening Ihey sang carols outside, and
the doctors noticed a change for the better in
her. Three days after Christmas, she was fully
conscious and a month later she was released."
"1 think the kindness shown us . , . helped
my little girl recover. So every year I send a
shipment of a couple of hundred toys as a little
token and lo let them know I remember."
