Al Least 70 Die
In Sinking Of
Turkish Sub
n Believed Alive
In Ex-U. S. Croft, but
Rescue Is Doubted
By the Associated Press

1STANBUL. Turkey, April A.
The former United States sub
marine Bumper, now a Turkish
vessel, sank in the DardanelleS
after a collision this morning
and Turkish naval spokesman
in Ankara said at least 10 men
perished.
Col. Asim Shinik, navy chief
of staff. said the submarine
Dumlupinar. down 228 feet after
a collision with a Swedish mer-
chant ship, had 96 persons
aboard.
Appeals for rescue from the
Sunken submarine, he said, in
dicated that % survivors were
trapped in the hull. But he
said there was not much hope
for them, because the submarine
was badly damaged, and swift
current and the deep water
hampered rescue operations.
Five persons were on the deck
at the time of the collision, and
were saved, but one of the five
died later from injuries.
Phone Line to Surface.
Col. Shinik said the only con-
tact with the trapped men was
through an emergency telephone
line sent to the surface by a buoy
released from the submarine.
The survivors were in water
tight stern compartments. The
bow was flooded and smashed
and all there-34 according to
earlier ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ably perished Immediately.
Divers, sent down this morn
ing. reported it would be i'm
possible to refloat the submarine.
Rescue workers were trying to
get the trapped sailors out some
other way. possibly through reg
ular or emergency escape matches.
An earlier communique said
five were killed and had listed
"a trapped in the hull-34 in
the flooded and smashed bow
and 40 in the stern.
American Aid Is Rushed.
United States Vice Admiral
John H. Cassidy, commander of
naval support and striking forces
of NATO's South European COM
mand, rushed the United States
destroyer Hawkins to the scene.
On board were doctors. trained
divers and a supply of medi-
cineS.
A score or more ships of the
United States 9Th Fleet were in
Turkish waters on a courtesy
visit, and Admiral .Cassady an
nounced that all its facilities
were at the disposal of the Turk
ish navy.
The French-language news
paper IStanbul said the Dumlup-
mar was returning from NATO
maneuvers at the time of the
accident.
Admiral Cassidy paid a per-
sonal call on the Governor of
Istanbul to present a $11,80O
check, a sum which sailors of
the 9Th Fleet had raised by
passing the hat for sufferers in
Western Turkeys recent earth
quake. The quake area is but
a short distance from where the
submarine went down.
Transferred in 1850.
Admiral Koroturk was first
reported aboard the craft, but
the Turkish general staff said
that was mistake.
The submarine. 1.526-ton
craft transferred to the Turkish
navy in 1850 under a United
States military aid agreement,
collided with the Swedish ship
Naboland, 1000 tons, at a point
about 3 miles north of Canak-
kale, a port near the southern
end of historic Dardanelles
Strait.
The Dumlupinar was equipped
with Snorkel underwater
breathing device, but presum-
ably the depth prevented its use.
The Istanbul newspaper Her

the scene as saying the survivors

The release of the doctors was
announced in communique
from the new Internal Affairs
Ministry, headed by L. P. Beria,
first deputy Premier in the new
Soviet government.
Accused Are Rehabilitated.
Declaring "verification has
shown that the accusations .
are false and the documentary
sources on which the workers of
investigation based themselves
are without foundation" the
communique said the men have
been completely rehabilitated"
and freed from custody.
1t blamed workers of the for
mer Ministry of State Security
for using "impermissable means
OF investigation which are strictly
forbidden under Soviet law" It
also charged that this ministry
arrested the doctors incorrectly
without any lawful cases what
soever."
Beria was long head of the
Ministry Of State Security before
it was combined into the Interior
Affairs Department when Malen-
kov became Premier.
(The announcement gave no
indication of how many per-
sons had been arrested for
incorrect conduct" in con-
nection with the investigation.
They presumably included
some members of the old State
Security Ministry staff.)
Six More Involved.
Today'S communique listed six
persons among the accused who
had not previously been known
to be involved. It it's announce
ment of the arrests January 13,
the government reported charges
against only nine doctors. some
of them Jews.
At that time it accused them
of being in the service of British
and American intelligence
through a Zionist organization
identified as Joint" (This was
an apparent reference to the
Joint Distribution Committee, a
Jewish relief agency which has
aided millions of European refu-
gees0 .....
In New York a spokesman
for the committee said last
night that the JDC's original
statement on the arrest of the
nine doctors declared the
charges were without founda-
tion in fact, and this bears it
out.")
The original Soviet announce
ment-issued during Stalin's
waning dayS-said the nine had
confessed ending the lives of
Andrei A. Zhdanov and Alex
ander S. Shcherbakov through
faulty treatment. Zhdanov, a
leading Politburo member, died
in 1948 at the age of So. Shcher-
bkov died in 1945 at A.

TORecruit

By Ruth Deon

A recommendation that it re-
cruit a large and youthful group
Of women into its membership
was before the National Woman's
Party today as it continued its
biennial convention at Alva Bel
mont House, party headquarters
on Capitol Hill.
In a statement issued at yes
terday'S opening session, Mrs.
Ethel Ernest Murrell, retiring ma
tional chairman, declared that
"the past must give way to the
present" and that after 40 years
an overhauling of the party's
program is needed.
Methods used in 1918 are no
longer effective" Mrs. Murrell
said, pointing out that every
State has adopted equality legis-
lation more radical than the
Equal Rights Amendment the
organization supports.
"The fact that there is so much
opposition to this amendment,
which is actually now only a
guarantee Of rights already won,
indicates that the amendment is
not being presented in the proper
way" she declared.
Mrs. Murrell said she wanted
to see the party bring into it's
ranks a youthful group-career
women, married women, women
from all walks of life. "Thus the
American woman herself may be
brought to realize that the
amendment Is something she
wants and needs" she asserted.
Mrs. Murrell's statement was
included in her biennial report
which she made in a closed ses-
sion.
Earlier, Miss Ernestine Hale
Bellamy, of Massachusetts,
chairman of the Junior Council,
also stressed the need for new
blood in the party. composed
largely of former suffragettes.
Miss Bellamy said that her
two-year efforts to bring young
women into membership had
met with "discouraging results, "
and blamed the dearth Of in
terest on the fact that mo con-
crete means of action was
afforded them"
Convention delegates were
given hope that the equal rights
resolution would be taken up in
this session of Congress, when
Mrs. Queen Walker Boardman,
national council member from
California. interrupted legisla-
ton committee report to say
she had just been told that
Senator Knowland has promised
early action in the Senate.
Mrs. Boardman said she
learned of the Senate floor
leaders decision from a spokes-
man in his Office. =,

uled at today's business session.

tomorrow.

Donohue Discusses
.CiN's Funds Problem

Former Commissioner F. JOS
eph Donohue last night said
there were three ways in which
the District might make up reve-
nues lost to the city government
because of Federal ownership of
about so per cent Of the property
here.
Mr.. Donohue pointed out the
District faces a deficiency of SIS
million in fiscal 1855 unless
something is done to ease the
situation. He spoke over Station
WWDC in another of his broad
casts District Diary"
The former Commissioner said
the appropriation for municipal
services could be cut, but this
would hardly be feasible.
Another way, Mr.. Donohue
said, would be to raise District
taxes, but at the most, this would
bring in only about 20 per cent
Of the SIS million and moreover,
would kill the goose that laid
the golden egg" since the District
is heavily taxed.
The third way, Mr.. Donohue
explained, would be to increase
the Federal contribution to the
District. He urged creation of a
joint House-Senate committee to
consider this proposal, and sug-
gested that l00-member citizens
committee be set up to push the
idea.

Montgomery Council
Hears School Board

In an unprecedented last
minute move. the Montgomery
County School Board today ap-
peared before the County Coun-
Gil asSailing the 81 million cut
made in the schools operating
budget.
The County Council is slated
to act on the budget later today
and to set the tax rate for the
fiscal year beginning tomorrow.
The board said that despite the
councils restoration of $12O, 900
to the budget, school officials will
still be $4,000 short next year
IN funds needed to hire 100 new
teachers and grant normal incre-
ment increases to present en-
ployes.
The board said it regretted
the action of the council in deny
ing an additional $27O,0OO re-
quested to establish a higher pay
schedule. The board said Mont
gomery County'S starting rate is
lower than Arlington County,
the District and Baltimore City.
The board asserted it was
closing the present fiscal year
with a $4,000 deficit in it's teach
ers salary account.
In attacking other cuts, the
board requested the council to
grant it a lump-sum budget so
that money can be shuttled
where needed among the seven
school accounts.
