lin Blast and Fire on
Ship S Maiden Cruise
BY the Assoeioted Press

TACOMA, Wash, Nov. 13.-An
explosion and flash fire in the en-
CINE room killed two men and in
jured at least six others today as
the fast Swedish motorship Los
Angeles prepared to sail for Europe
on the return leg of its maiden
cruise.
Fire Chief Charles j. Eisenbacher
said short circuit in a generator
caused the explosion. Flames from
the generator, he said, consumed
miles of intricate wiring coated with
varnish and shellac and then spread
to the remainder of the engine
room.
The ship was left without heat or
lights. Crewmen were transferred
to shore installations and 10 the
motorship Argentina here.
Investigators Arrive.
Marine underwater investigators
arrived from Seattle tonight and
are expected to begin their inves-
tigation tomorrow morning.
Rolph de Floer, a refrigeration
engineer, died from the effects OF
carbon monoxide fumes. The body
of one man, identified as F. v. B.
Olson, guaranty engineer for the
builders, was removed from the en-
gine room
Bound originally for Los Angeles
from Sweden, the craft was diverted
to Tacoma because of the maritime
strike. 1t was loading general cargo
and was due to sail tomorrow for
Hamburg and Helsingfors.
Engineers Were Checking.
A stewardess who refused to give
her name said she knew nothing of
the accident until she saw smoke
pouring from the engine room A
few minutes earlier she had ,seen
several engineers go below to make
| final checks before the scheduled
departure:
She identified three of the in
jured as Chief Engineer Gustav
Burtsson. August Kileuirts and Axel
Wickdahl.
The four-alarm fire pulled every
piece of available fire-flghting
equipment to the pier where the
new Johnson Line motorship was
berthed.
Firemen fought to keep specta-
tors out of the way, warning of the
danger of another explosion.
The johnson Line said the motor
ship was the worlds fastest cargo
vessel, with speed of 23.6 knots
1t had luxury accommodation for
12 passengers.

At dark many drifted away. But
few fingered, still watching the
palace windows. But it is doubtful
if anybody saw anything.
A few may have caught a glimpse
of the Princess when she took a
stroll in the gardens behind the
palace before noon in the bright
sunshine.
Elsewhere in the island and en-
pire final touches were put to ar
rangements for great jubilee when
the birth is announced. These
range from the official firing of the
41-gun royal salute at all military
and naval establishments and the
formal ringing of great cathedral
and small church bells to local cele-
brations.
Typical of the local celebra tions
are the arrangements for a huge
bonfire and procession of torches
at the village of Fleetwood.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Nov. 49,
DR.. Hiram Bingham, explorer,
scholar and politician, arrived in
port here today with his wife aboard
the Grace linef Santa Isabel en-
route from New York to Peru.
The former Governor and Senator
of Connecticut, who led the Yale
Peruvian Expedition into the wilder
ness of the Andes in 1911 and dis
covered the lost Inca city of Machu
Picchu, is returning to his home in
Washington after attending cere-
monies in Peru opening a highway
to the Inca city. The road is named
the Hiram Bingham highway.

Mr.. Snyder's sons, still clinging

specimens, here for shipment to New

strike, unloading of baggage would
be difficult there, DR.. Bingham said
Contrary to general belief, DR..
Bingham said, no treasurer such as
gold or jewels was found in the Inca
city, but he said that the finding of
the city itself ranks high in archeo-
logical treasure.
DR.. Bingham does not agree with
a theory of many scholars that the
ereat city was built by the Incas as
a fortress.
DR.. and Mrs. Bingham live at

try why our own security requires
a far-reaching and expensive pre-
paredness program now.
The Presidents answer was that
it would have been unwise, diplo-
matically, to go into all the details
at this time. Capitol Hill does not,
in general, agree with that idea.
A great number Of facts about the
situation are known to nearly every
responsible official in Washington,
London, Paris, Rome, Brussels and
The Hague. These facts are Ger
tainly no secret from the Kremlin.
But they are not yet widely known
to the American public, and Con-
gress members feel that they
should be published officially.
French Need Equipment.
Without revealing any secrets the
President could have pointed out
that very recently the French chief
of staff, Gen. Georges Revers, asked
Washington for equipment for the
French Army. This force is the
chief military backbone of the five
nation confederation just formed at
Brussels. France has 40 divisions
of we'll trained troops. They lack
equipment, particularly automatic
weapons, tanks, air coverage and
motor transport. The German
equipment, captured only three
years ago in the American, British
and French zones, was largely de-
stroyed or turned over in good op-
Grating condition to the Red Army.
The President might have re-
called to Congress and the Ameri-
can people the fact that Soviet
troops near the borders of our zones
in Germany and Austria now out
number western forces by nearly
40 to /. He could have stressed the
meaning of the recent maneuvers
in Yugoslavia which put Tito's 600,-
600 well-equipped troops in position
to overwhelm the 10000 Americans
and British at Trieste and to sweep
into Northern Italy. In addition,
mention might well have been made
of the reinforced Bulgarian armies
now poised for action against
Greece or Turkey.

events which call on youthful

The Olympic games we all know

bar using a bamboo pole for lever

a man nothing. To jump farther

On the Record
True Meaning of Freedom Is Written
In St. Pauls Epistle to the Galatians

liberty: only use not liberty for an
occasion to the flesh, but by love
serve one another. -.
Nov, the works of the flesh are
idolatry ;. hatred . emula-
tions. wrath. strife, seditions
envyings, murders
But the fruit Of the spirit Is love
Joy, peace goodness, faith
temperance; against such there is
no law"
Jan Masaryk learned that lesson
at last.
Democracy is based on the fun
damental assumption Of good will
between its members. If it Is to
survive at all, the fruits of the spirit
must be defended against such
works of the flesh. 1t cannot, with
any logic, deliver the fruits of the
spirit to the enemies of the spirit
in the name of freedom.
How preposterous to think we can
push back communism in Europe
while we stand helpless before it ir
the United States, protecting its
right to contest for the souls o.
our people, and all in the name Of
the freedom which we prepare te
defend abroad!
The issue today is not the 1taliar
elections but the United States elec-
tions, and the attempt Of the Com
munists modified as never before
to destroy freedom Of action right
here.
Either we freely learn the respon.
sibihties and restraints Of freedom
or we shall learn them in the chair
gang.
