Tuesday, January 12, 1961V Reefs Blamed For Wreck Of Freighter SEATTLE (AP) The captain of the freighter Valley Forge, which grounded in the China Sea while en route from Portland, Ore to India Dec. 31, told a Coast Guard hearing here Monday an abnormal current and uncharted reefs caused the accident. Capt. Peter F. Petrone, 53, ot Absecon, N. J said his fathometer showed 18 fathoms under the Valley Forge's keel, but that 10 minutes later the ship struck a reef. Lt. Warren D. Andrews, investi gating officer in the hearing, said it remains to be determined wheth er the captain could be reasonably expected to have anticipated the heavy current. Andrews also said the freighter apparently was 10 to 20 miles off course and would have hit the reefs regardless of whether they were charted. The Valley Forge was carrying a cargo of wheat valued at about $600,000. A spokesman for the Pen Insular Navigation Co. of New York, owners of the vessel, said he did not think either the cargo or the freighter could be salvaged The Valley Forge was valued at $300,000. Charles B. Howard, Seattle at torney for India, said a suit would be filed against Peninsular Navi gation for the loss of the wheat. Attorneys for six of the crew men, most of whom were recruited in the Northwest, have filed a total of $90,000 in personal injury claims. Andrews said he hopes to con clude the hearing by Thursday. His findings will be filed with Coast G u a rd headquarters in Washington, D. C. The Sahara Desert in Africa is thought to be expanding, largely due to overgrazing by domestic animals on its borders.

MOVIE CONTEST OOOtfSoP&ifirS' NOW PLAYING! 9 feJLtun7-PC (006 ENTER RECORD BREAKING CONTEST NEW ORLEANS (AP)-A U.S. District Court decree today ordered voting privileges returned o 1,377 Negroes purged from the Washington Parish rolls by small technicalities. Judge J. Skclly Wright issued the decree Monday in a suit filed last June 29 through the govern ment's civil rights division under the 1957 Civil Rights Act. The defendants were the White Citizens Council of Washington Parish, four council members who had challenged the Negroes' rights o vole, and Curtis M. Thomas, registrar of voters in the southeast ern Louisiana parish. The suit noted that while 1,377 New Ambassador Comes To Manila MANILA (AP) - The new U.S ambassador to the Philippines John D. Hickerson, arrived today to take up his post. He said he would foster the "deep and last ing friendship between the United States and the sister republic.' "If we can't settle our problems in view of this long record of friendship," Hickerson told news men, "there's not much hope for the rest of the world." A career diplomat and former ambassador to Finland, Hicker son, 61, succeeds Charles E. Boh len, now the State Department's top adviser on Soviet affairs. HITS U.S. HOUSING TUSCALOOSA, Ala. lUPIl- "Sheer hypocrisy," said Rep. Al bert Rains (D-Ala.) Monday night of President Eisenhower's urban renewal program. "America is creating slums 10 times faster than it- is remedying them," the chairman of the House Commit tee on Housing said. Negroes had been challenged, only 10 white voters were removed The government claimed the Citi zens Council had challenged Negro registrants for minor technicalities such as exact ages and misspelled words while nothing was done about white registrants who made the same mistakes. Judge Wright's decree also ordered the four individual mem bers of the Citizens Council from "causing or initiating challenges or filing any affidavits of chal lenge which have as their purpose or effect discrimination based on race or color against any regis trants." The individuals were Diaz D. McElveen, E. Ray McElveen, Saxon Farmer and Eugene Farm er. The council was enjoined from causing or participating in the filing of such challenges. Judge Wright ordered Thomas to file a detailed report within 10 days that he had given any legal eflect to the 1,377 challenges filed against Negroes between Feb. 1, 1959 and June 16, 1959. The judge further ordered the registrar, starting Feb. 1, to keep records showing the number of white and Negro registrants who are chal lenged. In Washington, Asst. Atty. Gen. M. F. Ryan Jr., head ot the civil rights division, said, "while the government does not seek the re tention on the voting rolls of peo pie who are not qualified under state law, the decision of the court makes it clear that the state may nut apply one set of rules as to qualifications to one race which it does not apply to the other. "This effective and versatile tool which the Civil Rights Act pro vides will continue to be used in other cases in Louisiana and else where to prevent racial voting discrimination in any form.' The act also has been invoked in suits in Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee. Smear Drive Kept Alive By Vandals By United Press International A rash of swastika painting and church' defacing in the U. S. and Canada took an indiscriminate turn today, supporting theories that vandals were keeping a wave of anti-Semitism alive. In Toronto, Ont., the vandalism even turned against Germany, where the swastika, an old In dian sign for the rising sun, was converted into a symbol of anti- Semitism by Hitler. Toronto's German social club Harmonie, reported Monday that. someone pushed a signboard with a swastika through the club door. The sign said: "Germans go to hell where you belong. The club also reported receiving 20 threatening telephone calls one of which said a bomb had been placed in the building. Lowell, Ind., a town of 1,300 persons with few, if any, Jewish lesidents, was inVaded Monday by what police said was a group of young vandals. A swastika was painted on the home of John Miller, a non-Jew, and paint was thrown on his home. A nearby school was smeared with green swastikas, a rope on a flagpole was cut A swastika, stenciled in black, was found on a partition of the 10th floor of the Chicago City hall. Other swastikas appeared on Ine walls of college buildings in San Francisco and Boulder, Colo, However, Nazi and anti-Jewish pamphlets were found on about 200 cars at two student parking lots at the University of Maryland. University officials said the pamphlets were entitled: "Pro gram of the world union of free enterprise national socialist," "Why is a Nazi," and "Jews are through in '72." The Western stales regional commander of the Jewish War Veterans, Bernard Rodin, called on the U. S. attorney general and the State Department to take im mediate action against anti-Scmi- lic acts.
