Ship Sinks
Eighteen Die When Vessel
Rammed by Freighfer
in Golden Cate

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26--IRl--
Zi ghteen persons died as the hos
pital ship Benevolence, with about
lis aboard, was rammed by a
reighter and overturned last night.
The Navy said 1t believed all others
were accounted for.
The survivors were scattered
through various hospitals in the
San Francisco Bay area, or had
gone to their homes in nearby
cities.
The crash occurred south of the
main ship channel entering San
Francisco BAY, about four miles
rom the Golden Gate bridge.
Visibility was zero as a binding
white fog drifted in from sea.
The outbound freighter, Mary
Luckenbach, ripped into the white
flank of the hospital ship which
was entering the harbor after a
trial run. The freighter appeared
little damaged 1t crept into port
during the night.
AS the fog lifted this morning
the 522-foot hospital ship could be
seen lying flat on its side, the life
boat davits exposed and the giant
red crosses shining on the white
hull
Capt. T. r. Wirth, Chief of Staff
of the 18th Naval District, said the
Benevolence keeled over within Is
minutes after the collision.
The Benevolence, until recently
laid up with the reserve fleet at
Mare Island Navy Yard, had been
pulled out for duty in the Korean
war zone. She was on her last
shakedown cruise preparatory to
entering on duty.
She was just off the gate, head
ing in Tor her Mare Island dock,
when the Mary Luchenbach doomed

fog.

Democrats Tangle

Speaker Sam Rayburn and Sen
ate majority leader Scott Lucas
of Illinois tangled hotly on the
"adjournment" question at the big
four leaders meeting with President
Truman this week.
Rayburn insisted that Congress
should adjourn "sine die" when all
emergency bills have been passed
early next month. This would
mean a complete shutdown until
next January 8, barring recall by
the President.
"It would be better for the coun-
try if we adjourned and let things
settle down." argued the speaker.
ALSO, the rest of the world would
get the impression that we aren't
fearful of third world war"
However, Lucas strongly urged
that Congress remain formally In

to hinder U. S. airmen, who hao

These Soviet stations are part OF

apparently decided to help the

wv Nursery Head Named

Mrs. Leonard Elstad, president
of the Board of Directors of the
Young Women's Christian Asso-

pointment of Miss Christina Nor
ley as director of the new YWCA
nursery to be opened on Septem-
Der rs.
Miss Morley, the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Felix Morley, has
planned a program which will in
clude creative activities such as
music, singing, rhythms, painting
and initiative play as well as &C
tive, physical play. With particu-
lar emphasis to be placed on the
Importance of daily habits, the
youngsters schedule will include
a 15-minute rest period and mid
morning serving Of crackers and

Does that look like you, The

OF course. there are two sides
to the story. Maybe you thought
the young fellow was a washout.
Maybe they think, in London,
that it's fair to make you call
on the man, but on this side of
the ocean we'd have insisted that
he call on you. That might have
made some difference. but not
much. The fact is that there are
too many "mousy" girls such as
he describes. Maybe there are
even more men of a corresponding
type, but since you are a girl, I'll
direct this column to you. not to
the man.

to begin is with yourself. I'M
