Rolling down the ramp and crashing into the building, the barrel exploded moments later with a roar which shook the whole harbor area.
 The truck, which pulled away just before the blast, later was found abandoned in a nearby square.
 Irgun Zvai Leumi, Jewish un- derground organization, immedi- ately issued communique declar- that it's agents had carried out the attack in retaliation for trans ment to Hamburg of the Exodus 1947 Jews and the deportation to Cyprus of refugees who reached Palestine Saturday aboard to Af- alpi.

Mrs. Roosevelt Just Can't Understand Acts Of Russians

LAKE SUCCESS, R) - Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt says it is inn possible to understand why the Russians act as they do.
 Mrs. Roosevelt told a reporter Friday that at times the difficult ties of dealing with Soviet dele gates to the United Nations appear almost insuperable.
 "Try as you may, you cannot understand why they act as they do, even when you project your self into the position their nation occupies"
 Mrs. Roosevelt, a United States delegate to the U. N., said the Rus sians appear. to be waiting for another depression here to create pools of unemployed people who might be tempted to Communism. But do they think what the conse- quences to the world would be if the western hemisphere was in such chaos that it could no longer export food?"

Russia Fights U. 5. As "Warmonger' As Split Widens

LAKE SUCCESS, (PD-Fighting from a tough minority position. Russia showed every evidence Of forcing its "Warmonger" attack on the United States to comp etc showdown in the United Nations while staying off as long as possi- ble defeat on such AmeIcan- backed issues as Greece and the veto.
 Andrei Y. Vishinsky, Russla's deputy foreign minister, repeated and expanded at a news confer enCe Friday the "Warmonger charges he made before the 25- sembly Sept. l8.
 Mt reover, there were indica- tiOnS that a firm Sovie, position on Palestine may now be emarg- ing which would be critical of British policies but not necessar- fly in disagreement with the final decisions of the United States or this issue which is being handled by secretary of state George (. Marshall with extreme caution at the moment.
 As the assembly'S second week drew to a close one thing had be- come clear: two weeks Of debate and scores of speeches had pro- duced no grounds for compromise on any of the major issues. The split between east and west was wider than ever. Among some del egateS there was considerable un- certainty as to whether the United Nations could be made to work eff Actively on the principle of uni versality-inclusion of all peace loving nations"
 Vishinsky made clear at his news conference Friday that Russia in- tends to press it's "Warmonger" case to the limit.
 In a 3,000-Word statement, Vii ShinSky asserted that John Foster Dulles, a close adviser of Marshall. greatly influences" the foreign policy of the United States and that the policies of Dulles would lead to war with Russia. All "in- stigators" of war, Vishinsky ar gued, ought to be "enchained."

Mine Wrecks U. s. Destroyer Near Trieste

WASHINGTON, (P)-The navy said a mine exploded under the U. s. destroyer Douglas H. Fox, near Trieste at 3:20 am. PST) to- day, killing one man and injuring seven.
 The blast wrecked the steering gear of the late type Warship, flooding all the after compart- ments and leaving her dead in the water, dispatches reaching the navy department said.
 A sister destroyer, the James C. Owens, and two tugs have gone to the aid of the Fox which has two doctors and five hospital corpsmen aboard.
 Navy officials said the mine may have been an old one, broken loose from an area not yet swept clear of them since the war. The explosion occurred six miles off Trieste, dispatches from that Adri- attic said.
 The names of the victims were not made public at once. One of the men was reported critically injured and the other wounded were in serious condition.
 The Fox, which was on her way from Venice, Italy, to Trieste, is one of the most heavily armed of American destroyers. Her main battery carries six five-inch guns plus 10 torpedo tubes. She joined the U. s. warships in the Mediter- ranean after leaving Norfolk, Va, July 2l.
 The Fox's skipper is Command CT Charles w. Travis, Annapolis, Md. A Sumner class destroyer, the Fox was built in Seattle in 1944, displaces 2,200 tons and has a wartime complement of 315 men. . The full extent of the damage is not known, but all compart- ments aft of the after deck house were flooded, the official dis patches said.
 The steering gear was wrecked, both propeller shafts rendered "inoperative and both screws damaged.
 The flooding of all the after indicated that the mine was extremely powerful and must have gone off very close un- der the stern, experts believed.
