James Millers, bearded master OF
the Elizabete, received $3.50 and
members of his crew f1,350.
Capt. Millers declared he could
have completed the tow if a board
ing party from the American
Ranger, sister ship Of the American
Farmer, had not cut his rope. The
boarding party raised steam on the
damaged ship ard took her to Fal-
mouth.
Justice Pitcher, announcing the
awards, said that although the
Elizahete accomplished virtually
nothing and could not have taken
the ship unaided to safety, her at
titude was one which should be en-
couraged.
To the owners of the American
Ranger, United States Lines, the
Judge awarded 5000, to her master,
$3.50; chief officer, E540: chief engi-
neer, f450, and her crew, $500.
OF the dispute that arose when
the Elizabete's tow line was cut,

the American Ranger exercised a
great deal of tact in dealing with
an awkward situation.

NATANYA, Palestine, July 81
The blackened and blood
stained bodies of two young Brit
ish sergeants were found hanged
to twin eucalyptus trees in a
forest preserve about 4 miles
south of this seacoast resort to-
day.
When British soldiers started to
cut down the bodies, BOBBY trap
exploded. 1t blasted the bodies OF
Sergt. Clifford Martin and Sergt.
Mervyn PAIGE to bits and scattered
the pieces for hundreds of yards.
The BOBBY trap, which had been
concealed behind Sergt. Martins
body, wounded one Grenadier
Guardsman in the face and threw
several bystanders to the ground,
including Associated Press Photog-
rapher James Pringle and myself.
Mr.. Pringle's camera was ruined.
The blast uprooted the two death
trees and sprayed the area with a
blanket of dirt and debris.
The scene of the hangings, which

said were carried out as military

the heart of one of several govern

Pinned to the bodies were Hebrew

trial, conviction and execution In

A stencil OF death permeated the
whole area in the forest. The faces

lation by rudely fashioned nooses.

to haul stenographers, clerks and
other unauthorized passengers" "

Ridley told reporters expenses in
flying authorized passengers were
far above commercial costs.
He cited 81 flights between No
vember, 1916. and March, 1947, on
which he said lit authorized pas
sengers were carried at a cost of
$72,572, including 28 test fights Of

savings Of 59,431.

anybody else" Mr.. Ridley said, the

these trips, with one exception. In
that case she is shown as being on
annual leave"
WAA Oficial Replies.
Jess Larson, WAA general counsel,
said he is familiar in general with
the report of Mr.. Rizley's subcom-
mittee staff, since his Office supplied
the information.

are forced to take exception"
The subcommittee had planned to
