Irish Planes Won't Relay
Pan American PASSENGERS

DUBLIN, Dec. 3 lP1.-Government
officials last night ruled out the
possibility that Irish airlines might
relay passengers of Pan American
World Airways from Fire to Eng
land.
The suggestion had been made
as the result of British action limit
ing Pan American to two flights
weekly, forcing planes from New
York to land at Rineanna Field
Erie.

Fire is unable to get planes for serv-
ice direct from Rineanna to Eng.

The note added, however, that
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Administration Urges
COP Senators 10 Drop
Hopeless UN0 Fight
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Administration forces sought to-
day to persuade some Republican
Senators to drop their apparently
hopeless effort to amend legislation
outlining this country's duties as a
member of the United Nations Or
ganlzatlon. ,r,s,sve u,,' tau.u
Straining for action after a solid
week of debate, Acting Majority
Leader Hill told a reporter:
We're going to do our best to get
this whole thing through today"
To do SO, however, he would have
to overcome the determination of
two determined freshmen Repub-
lican-Senators Donnell of Missouri
and Morse of Oregon--for unlimited
discussion of the entire subject.
Calls Amendment a Treaty.
Senator Donnell already has
talked two days on his amendment
which would require two-thirds
Senate approval Of any agreement
made by the President to furnish
American troops to the international
security force.
The bill calls for approval by a
majority vote of the Senate and
House. Senator Donnell maintains
such an agreement would be equiva-
lent to treaty and should be rati-
fed by the Senate.
Undeterred by the 40-to-18 vote
by which the Senate batted down a
milder effort by Senator Taft. Re
publican. of Ohio, to amend the
bill, Senator Donnell has declined to
estimate how long he will talk, or to
join in setting a definite voting
time. Senator Morse, backing him
up, said the Senate must be main
tanned as IAN open forum with un-
limited debate"
Confident Of Passage.
The administration is confident
it has the votes to defeat all amend
ments and to pass the bill, when it
can. get down to voting. Seventeen
absentee Democrats were listed in
the Congressional Record as op-
posing the Taft amendment had
they been present.
When the Donnell amendment is
voted on, the Senate is expected to
pass in succession on other changes
suggested by Senators Wheeler,
Democrat, Of Montana: Millikin,
Republican, Of Colorado, and
Bridges, Republican, of New Hamp-

delay in dispatching search parties
until several days after the cruiser
was overdue. Rear Admiral George
l.. Russell, assistant Judge Advo-
cate of the Navy, told reporters that
the culpability of air and other
naval headquarters is being ex-
amined and may result in additional
court-martials.
He said an investigation is being
made to determine if the ship was
sunk by torpedo.
The cruiser, flagship of the 5th
Fleet, sailed from San Francisco
July 16 with atomic bomb material
which was later dropped on Japan.
After discharging her cargo at
Guam, she proceeded to Leyte. About
$50 miles short of her destination.
near midnight Of July 30, there were
one or two underwater explosions
which ripped through the forward
8-inch magazine.
Capt. McVay has been quoted as
having guessed" that the ship was
hit by a torpedo.
/ Ordered Report Gotten Out.
Rushing from his cabin, Capt. Nc
Way declared he ordered the navi-
gator, Comdr. John Hopkins jan
ney of Baltimore:
For Gods sake, make certain the
contact reports get out. Say we've
been torpedoed. our position is
and We are sinking rapidly and need
assistance
Comdr. Janney was lost in the
sinking.
No one is known to have received
the distress calls, possibly because
electrical power had been destroyed.
Capt. McVay was quoted as hav-
ing said after his rescue that he
ordered the ship abandoned.
One question which may be
brought up at the trial is of radio
message reported to have been sent
before the explosion, In which Capt.
McVay asked that sleeve-towing
plane meet the cruiser July 81, 30
miles off Leyte, for gunnery prac-
tice. No search was begun for the
lost ship until August 2.
Many creWmen were killed in the
explosion, but many more died in
the water, some without life Jackets
and others with water logged
jackets.
A Navy seaplane on a routine
mission accidentally discovered the
survivors four days after the ship
went down. Not until the destroyer
escort Doyle, summoned by the
plane, arrived shortly after mid
night August 8, did the Navy know
officially what had happened to the
Indianapolis.

British Say They Seek
Transocean Air RATE
Acceptable 10 All
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. 3.-Britain's Min
istry OF Civil Aviation said today it
was ready to approve any rate for
transatlantic air travel which was
jointly acceptable to all competing
air lines and said the amount to be
charged was not an issue.
A spokesman for the ministry said
the British government would
"agree to tuppence four cents) for
the trip if all operators thought that
was economical and reasonable"
The spokesman said Britain de-
sires an agreement on rates by all
airlines, and observed this was
matter affecting not only America
and Britain, but also France and
the Scandinavian countries which
recently have inaugurated North
Atlantic air service.
Our primary object" he said,
"is to avoid rate war which in
evitably would lead to heavy Gov
ernment subsidizing on both sides.
We feel that agreement can be
reached and should be reached"
The ministry had no direct COM
ment on reports from New York
that Pan American Airlines had
offered to reinstate its prewar rate
of s375 and abandon the present
$275 fare which caused British pro-
tests and a reduction In the number
of flights permitted Pan American
weekly.
Pan American yesterday offered
to reinState the $375 fare if the
British Government will restore to
the line fair share" of the weekly
flights to England.
The company said Friday the
British government had ordered it
to cut its flights from five to two
round trips per week, because of the
rate reduction.
Yesterdays announcement said
Pan American now was reluctantly
compelled to advise the British gov
ernment, through our Government" !"
of its desire TO return to the pre-
war fare.
