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.

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

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

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.

General Says
U.S. Strong
WASHINGTON (AP) - The
United States is much stronger
than the Soviet Union in military
power and may have a slight edgi
in war missiles, Gen. Thomas D
White says.
The Air Force chief of staff told
a National Press Club audience
Moday there may be no certain
way of knowing which country is
ahead in missile strength. But he
added that the United States "may
now have a slight edge in military
missiles."
He was much more positive in
his opinions on over-ail strength
'I would manyfold rather have
the military posture of the United
States," he said in response to one
question. "And if you add every'
thing such as morale, economic
strength and ail that goes to back
up military strength, I would
multiply my preference several
fold more."
At another point he said the
Strategic Air Command now has
"the ability to destroy the war-
making capacity of any aggressive
nation, no matter how powerful
and to achieve military victory."

Air Agency Tells Plans
For Improving Facilities
WASHINGTON (AP) - The
Federal Aviation Agency Tuesday
announced plans for some 750
projects, costing $118,200,000, to
improve the nation's air naviga
lion and air traffic control sys
terns.
The work is planned for the
current fiscal year on the basis of
funds available. FAA said there
may be some changes in sites and
projects later due to realignment
of airways or to changing local
conditions.
Major emphasis will be on the
application of various types of ra
dar for air traffic control duties.
Appropriations for radar facilities
amount to more than $26,700,000
More than 10 million dollars will
be spent for various radio aids, 17
million for new buildings to house
10 air route traffic control cen
ters, and $3,360,000 for new traffic
control towers at airports.
Almost four million will be spent
on new lighting for runways and
their approaches. New weather
teletypewriter services will cost
more than 6'4 million.
New air route traffic control
centers, costing about $1,700,000
each, will be built at 10 locations,
including Seattle.
Airport traffic control towers
costing an average of $168,400
each will be built at 15 locations,
including King Salmon, Alaska;
Ronton, Wash., and Troutdale,
Ore.
The FAA will equip 24 of its
long range radars with ground
radar beacon systems at an aver
age cost of $106,400.
The new radar beacon systems
will be installed at Anchorage and
Fairbanks, Alaska, and Klamath
Falls, Ore.
Terminal type very high fre
quency omnidirectional radio
ranges (TVORS), costing about
$100,600 each, will be installed at
