BY the Associated Press

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 6.-The
grounded freighter Fairhope to-
day was described as an uneasy
ship with a killer aboard, but no
clue to his identity.
There are no definite Sus-
pects," said 1t. Henry C. Wear Of
the United States Coast Guard
cutter Morris. He returned last
night from Mexico's San Benito
Islands. where the 438-foot Fair
hope grounded last Friday.
Crew Reported Shaken.
He reported the crew was
Shaken up-but that's only nat
ural when you know that the
man standing next to you might
be a murderer"
A similar impression was given
by a news photographer, Leslie A.
Dodds. who few to the ship, 270
miles south Of here.
The skipper, Capt. H. T. Hall
man of Ocean City. Md, told Mr..
Dodds he had not arrested any

not allowed aboard. He said a
crewman, standing on the deck.
drew his hand across his throat
in pantomime of a knife slash
and then pointed to bloodstains
down the side of the ship from
q portfolio.
The photographer interpreted
the gestures as expressing at
least a belief that Steward Thur
mond's throat had been cut and
his body pushed out through the
portfolio.
Coast Guardsmen said the
cargo on the Fairhope probably
would have to be transferred to
a barge before the ship can be
ref1oated.

By Cospor Names

Eisenhower not to appoint an
Ambassador to the Vatican was

ing to a close today.

The resolution, in the form
of a letter to the Nations Chief
Executive, said it is "our con-
Germ that a representative to
the Vatican, personal or other
wise, be not appointed. In COM
mon with other American church
bodies, we believe that the ap-
pointment of a representative
to the Vatican violates the prin-
ciple of the equality of treat
ment of all churches and of the
separation of Church and State.
"We express to you our fer
vent hope that this divisive
issue be not again precipitated.
In such event we would be bound
in conscience to oppose the ap-
pointment with all possible
vigor."
