There was a hole in the connect
ing arm from the steering mech
anism to the rudder and the links
from the after steering station to
the steering engine were cut in

However, Gross said, the steer
ing gear was still usable.
Today First Mate Carl E. Shiv-
ers Of Newport News. Va. and the
chief engineer started patching
numerous holes in the ship. -
In Hong Kong Capt. Andrew
Crinkley, representative of the
Isbrandtsen Steamship Line in
New York, expressed the hope to-
day that two American destroyers
will force a showdown on the
Chinese Nationalist blockade Of
Red-held Chinese ports.
With those two destroyers there
perhaps we can get this thing
settled one way or the other" Cap
tain Crinkley said.
In Taipei. Formosa. the Chi
nese Nationalist Navy chief, Ad-
miral Kwei Yung ching, saying
the Flying Arrow was warned
away from mines, added: If the
Flying Arrow had not belonged
to a friendly power we would
have let her steam into mined
areas so as prove how effective
our mining is"
This may have been q threat
to any British shipping that
might try to run the blockade to
Shanghai. The Nationalists
broke off diplomatic relations with
Britain when London recognized
the Communists as the legal gov
ernment of China. ~
In Washington, Representative
Vorys, Republican. of Ohio said
he will demand ANY light the
State Department can shed on
why ships of the Isbrandtsen ship
ping line are so intent on running
the Chinese Nationalist blockade
of China. It seems q little odd
that shipping owner. just to
prove a rather obscure point of
some kind, seems so intent on
risking ships and cargoes worth
millions of dollars.
Senator Ferguson, Republican,
Of Michigan said he has reports
that British ships and vessels c.

Gubitchev, 0verruIed
May Take immunity
Plea TO High Court I
BY the Associated Pres,

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-A Fed
eral judge has rejected Valentin
A. Gubitchev's claim that he has
diplomatic immunity from trial
on espionage charges.
The ruling was made late yes
terday by Federal Judge Sylvester
Ryan, who had studied q COM
munication from Secretary Of
State Acheson declaring that the
Russian engineer did not have
diplomatic status.
Diplomatic status is a political
question and a matter of state"
the judge said in a 3,500-wofd
decision. "The finding Of the
Secretary of State must be ac-
cepted unquestioned."
1t was considered probable to-
day that Gubitchev's counsel,
Abraham Pomerantz, would ap-
peal the decision to the Supreme
Court.
Charged With Conspiracy.
Judge Ryan's decision disposed
of one Of a series of defense moves
seeking to block trial of the 81
year-old former United Nations
employe and Judith Coplon, 28-
year-old former Justice Depart
ment employe.
They are charged with con-
spring and seeking to make Gov
ernment secrets available to the
Soviet Union.
AS pretrial hearings continued,
two major issues today remained
before Judge Ryan:
/. A demand by counsel for
both defendants that the charges
be thrown out of court on the
ground the Governments case is
based on wiretap evidence-illegal
in Federal courts. The FB1 ad-
mits tapping the defendants
phones, but the prosecution says
it can prove it's case with evidence
obtained in other ways. Judge
Ryan has said he might have to
throw out the case if it was based
solely on wiretap evidence.
Wants Indictment Voided.
2. A demand by Gubitchev that
the indictment against him be
voided on the ground that his ar
rest here by the FBI with Miss
Coplon last March 4 was illegal
because made without a warrant.
A similar motion in behalf of Miss
Coplon already has been denied
by Judge Ryan.
Government prosecutors were
scheduled to start presenting
proof today that they can press
their case without the wiretap
evidence, but contend that evi-
dence was obtained by trailing the
defendants.
Gubitchev, in his claim Of dip
lomatic immunity, had stressed
the Soviet diplomatic passport on
which he came here in 1946 with
the Russian q. N. delegation.

unif1cation and stated that Navy
morale was being hurt thereby.
His action sparked the House in
quiry.
The documents were originated
by Vice Admiral Gerald F. Bo-
gan, then commander of the 1st
Task Fleet in the Pacific, who has
since announced that he would re-
tire rather than accept a less
important post. His name came
up before the Senate committee
today and Senator Knowland said
that he might also like to ques-
ton him.
Qualifications Not Questioned.
Senator Saltonstall, Republican
Of Massachusetts, saw the action
today as adversely affecting Ad-
miral Sherman's efforts to bring
peace to the strife-torn Navy.
1T is a vital question of prestige
and authority over the Navy" he
said. "By not confirming him we
infringe upon his authority. I will
vote to have high-level inquiry
but I think Admiral Sherman
should be confirmed"
Senator Gurney, Republican. OF
South Dakota admitted that he
didn't think there was "any
chance to have Admiral Denfeld
back in" but he added that he
did want to investigate the ques-
ton of whether or not he had
been punished for his testimony
The committee members agreed
that the action did not question
the qualifications OF Admiral
Sherman for the post and all
praised him for his record,

oppose an inquiry into the Dem
field matter.
Senators Knowland and Bridges
told the committee that there was
a basic question" of whether a
witness had been punished for
testifying before a congressional
committee.
I'D like an opportunity to ques-
tion Secretary Matthews and per-
haps Others" said Senator Know
land, who read the committee
statements by MIR. Matthews and
Chairman Vinson OF the House
committee stating that witnesses
In the inquiry last spring need
fear no reprisals. -
Senator Bridges said that he hao
a four-page legal opinion by Louis
Wyman, jr., of Manchester. N. H.
which stated that there was, ir
fact, no chief of naval operations
vacancy, but Senator Tydings
stated that the President did have
authority to remove a subordinate
in the armed forces. @
May Also Call Began.
Senator Morse, Republican, OF
Oregon said that if Admiral Den
field wasn't punished he should
have been" because "you can't
operate the armed forces under a
civilian head without discipline .
Il didn't like the whole fiasco in
the House." he added. "And Hol-
1ywood was never. so slapstick as
to pass out documents to reporters
in darkened corridors Of office

Of the Yangtze River. On the star
board side about 200 yards away
was lone Chinese gunboat. II
was sending warnings by blinkel
that mines were being laid.
Even at that we least expected
the gunboat to start blasting US
Capt. Jones had just said we
were ~ miles of shore.
s. Iwent to the radio shack where
Operator Lawrence c. Klosowski
of New York was at the key to send
any distress messages. We were
talking when suddenly we began
hearing shells come over.
I went to the port side and saw
them splashing into the water.
Some looked like 3-inchers.
Returning hurriedly to the radio
room we started counting them
and got up to 80 when some one
shouted the after deck was afire.
The shelling continued, and the
ship was hit in many places.
There was a big blaze on the after
deck not far from big jars of acid
with danger" tags on them. We
were elated when that fire was
extinguished.
But in the meantime another
blaze had started in No. S hold.
The crew under Capt. Jones
tackled this bigger problem, jetti-
soning many bales Of cotton. jute
and cases Of banknote paper.
/ The fires could be worse. On
each side of the deck were around
200 jars OF chemicals bearing
danger" signs. Also on the deck
were few drums of kerosene and
other combustibles.
In No. 4 hold, well partitioned
from the blazing No. S hold, were
5000 drums OF diesel oil.

over the bridge. Capt. Jones re-
marked: II hope they hold their

Clearfield, Pa, handed me the

He said there was another un-
exploded shell in the steering
gear and asked If I'd like it as q

meter hits above the steering en-
gine room, four through No. 6

line. 10 holes in the steering gear

water tank, two holes in the lamp
room and one hole in the boat

yesterday he wants to know:
l. Who drafted a State Depart
ment document telling American
diplomats in the Far East that
Formosa had no strategic" value? ?
2. Did the State Department re-
ceive the views Of the Joint Chiefs
OF Staff, Gen. Douglas MacAr-

reaching the Formosa decision?
Ferguson Eases Criticism.
Senator Ferguson eased ur
somewhat yesterday on his criti.
cism OF the administration after
a White House visit with Presiden,
Truman and Secretary Acheson.
Senator Ferguson told reporters
that he is certain the admins.

chance for unofficial and volun-
teer" aid for the islands de.
tenders.
Later on the Senate floor he
resumed his attacks on the For.

Connally Warns Of War.
Yesterday Senator Connally
told the Senate that armed
American Intervention in China
might plunge the United States
into World War III.
Sharply attacking Republican
critics of the administrations Far
East policy, Senator Connally
commented that you can't whip
the Communists with wind" and
he challenged any Senator favor
ing the sending of United States
troops to Formosa to stand up
and say so. He had no replies.
Other Senators hotly debated
the pros and cons Of the Govern
ment's policies in the Orient.
Senator Smith, Republican. of
New Jersey said President Tfu-
man should lay down a line@ in
Asia at which Communism must
stop-"and Formosa is q good
place to stop it." he said.
But Majority Leader Lucas OBJ
jected that If the United States
goes into Formosa, then the Rus
slams could charge this country
with waging an aggressive war.
THE State Department takes
the position that Formosa is a
part of China" Senator Lucas
said. What we do If the Com
munists go into Malaya,+ Burma
and Indonesia is something else. /"
In the meantime. it was dis
closed that proposals for an un-
Official mission to Formosa by
more than 100 Americans, includ-
ing retired Army and Navy OH
GERS. have been turned down by
the State Department.
The unofficial mission idea was
put forward by prominent cham
pions OF aid to China before Pres
ldent Truman emphatically ruled
out any direct United States Gov
ernment support for Formosa with
his December S declaration. Who
the hackers were was not dis
closed.

is possibly significant fact however, that the great est decline in death rate has been among married women. The life expectancy of unmarried women also has increased notably There has been sizabe gain in length of life among men, both married and unmarried, but it has been apprecably less than that of women.
 During the last 25 years the mortality improve ment has been chiefly among women This undoubt- edly reflects the development of home comforts and and the perfection of better safeguards for female health during chidbearing.

Big Campaign Dough

It was only few years ago that the U. s. Senate refused to seat Ware of Pennsylvania, Smith of Illinois and Newberry of Mich igan because they spent large am- ! cunts oI money in their primary or election campaigns.
 Smith of Illinois was not seated for spending $1OO,000. But now, in the same state, the Republican citizens finance committee, headed by oil man Kent s. Glow and organized largely to defeat Sem ator Scott Lucas, brazenly announ- ced that it was going to raise $7O0,O00 for the November cam paign. This caused COP Congressman Charles Vursell of Salem, H., to remark that the $7O0,0O0 would be ia good investment if would pre- sent Lucas from returning to tile Senate.
 The citizen committees S70O,OO0 will be on. top of the campaign chest raised by the Republican state committee and the Republican Ma tional Committee so that the Illi- nois election should really be roll ing in dough.
 Meanwhile, lethargic Senator Guy
 Gillette of Iowa has been ap- pointed chairman of a committee
 to investigate campaign expend-
 itures. Gillette clamored for Sen ate investigators in Iowa when he
 was the object of the Roosevelt
 purge in 1888, but now he isn't
 the eager-beaver he used to be.
 However, the country generally
 is getting fed up with the tremend-
 ous amounts of moey spent on
 elections. People are getting the
 impression that the man with the dough can buy his way into Con- gress-not a healthy impression to
 prevail in a Democracy.
