Hearst Urges U. 5.
Adopt More Flexible
Course in Cold War

Newspaper publisher William
Randolph Hearst. jr.. thinks the
United States should pursue q
more flexible and imaginative
course to compete with Commu-
mist advances throughout the
world.
Mr.. Hearst, just back from a
three-week trip to Russia. also
advocates the establishment Of
a non-partisan planning board
which would formulate strategy
for selling" the world on Amer
lean achievements along many
fronts, including sports, educa-
ton, the theater and other fields
Of culture:
In an address to the National
Press Club, Mr.. Hearst said
America is tagging behind Rus
STA in putting across to people
everywhere what is being
achieved under its form of
Government.
Our reliance upon armed
strength alone as our primary
concern is permitting commu-
nism to take long strides for
ward in those fields which we
have largely neglected" he said.
Mr.. Hearst said the West has
so much more to offer than Com
munism that any comparison
must show up in its favor.
Appearing with him at the
Press Club Luncheon were his
principal assistant, Frank Con-
milf, and Kingsbury Smith.
Hearst correspondent in Europe.
They accompanied him on the
trip to Moscow and Leningrad.
The newspapermen. who were
in Russia at the time of the
recent Kremlin shakeup, inter-
viewed Nikita Khruschev, boss
of the Communist Party; Nikolai
Bulganin, the new Soviet Prem
Ter; Foreign Minister v. M.
Molotov and Marshal Georgi
Zhukov, the new minister Of
defense.

Boot Disaster Laid
To Ferry Skipper

HAKODATE. Japan. July
R.-The skipper Of the ferry
Toya Maru was largely to blame
for the disaster that cost more
than 1.100 lives last September,
the, prosecution charged in q
court of inquiry today.
The ship sailed out Of Hako-
date in a typhoon and sank just
outside the harbor. The toll
included Sc Americans-49 dead
and seven missing United States
soldiers and their dependents.
The skipper. Heiichi Kondo. and
u crewmen were among the
drowned.
Commissioner Kinichiro Kosa-
Ika blamed Kondo for "underes-
timating the typhoon strength,
overrating the ships durability,
failure to check perfect sealing
of all deck valves, failure to take
adequate measures after the
anchors ran. and failure to con-
duct evacuation Of passengers. !"
Kosaka also blamed the chief
|of the National Railroads Bu-
reau for failure to take adequate
measures after the ship sailed
out on the skipper's misjudge-
|ment."
The court Of inquiry's chief
function is to determine causes
of disasters and to prevent re-
Icurrences. The maximum pen
atty it can hand down is the clos

A Tactical Error

Richard Kollmar, producer of

visited the Duke and Duchess Of
Windsor in France during his
recent vacation and the Duke
admitted he'd seen plain and
Fancy" and that he liked it very
much. But, he said, Kollmar had
made a grave tactical error.
Kollmar asked what 1t was.
Those aren't distefinks you
have painted on the barn." the
Duke contended. A distefink Is
an Amish good luck symbol. The
Duke further explained that,
before seeing the show. he had
bought book on Pennsylvania
Amish customs and studied the
symbols. He was thus able to
contend that the musical SYM
bols aren't accurate.
Nothing like hearing those
things from an expert.

Steel Mills
Begin Drive 10
Meet Demands

NEW YORK, Sept. IA R.-
TIE steel industry, still produc-
ing at a rate 10 to 90 per cent
below demand, is launching a
drive to bring deliveries into
line with promises. Iron Age,
the national Woodworking
weekly, said today.
Backlogs are continuing to
grow and heavy carryovers into
1856 are expected, it added. But
the drive is on for top-speed
production and for drastic
|slashes in allotments to even up
the supply demand picture.
Iron Age described the current
situation Dis follows:
The mills are finally catching
up on maintenance problems
that plagued them in the sum-
|mer. Vacations and hot weather
ARE in the past. Some mills have
attained an above-capacity oper-
|ating basis.
But both the output Of steel
and orders are expected to top
ANY prior last-four-months of
the-year period. Major consum-
ling industries will not let up in
demand. The automotive in
dustry viii be scrambling for
every pound Of steel it can grab.
Inventory building will be strong.
The backlog Of orders has still
to be penetrated.
Steel production this week was
estimated at 96 per cent OF
capacity, UP 3 points from last
week.
