Storm Grounds Destroyers;
80 Rescued from Freighter
Blizzard Hits
a Navy Ships;
3 Men Die

NEWPORT, R. l., Mar. II (R.
-Four Navy vessels-three de-
stroyers and a frigate-went
aground at midnight last night
during a raging blizzard which
shot winds up to 10 miles an
hour.
All were moored at the time
they were struck. They normally
carry about 800 men. None was
believed in immediate danger,
and one was refloated.
Three Navy men were found
dead this morning in an open
launch which washed ashore on
Ocean drive near Narragansett
Bay, where the four vessels went
aground.
The launch came ashore on
the beach at the summer estate
of Barclay Douglas. 1t was not
determined to what vessel the
launch belonged.
Names were withheld pending
notification of next of kin.
The Navy listed the vessels
which had been grounded as the
destroyers M. C. Fox, Fiske and
Coolbaugh, and the frigate Will
lis A. Lee.
The Flske was refloated.
The other two destroyers and
the Lee listed helplessly, snarled
on rocks or sand.

for listing his own Office room
number, to guide the respondents

number in the space for the en-

1t was a simple mistake. But
it confused the company enor-
mously to read that "the records
of this Office indicate that the
above named individual was en-
ployed by you during the year
1872"
The employer rose to the oc-
casion. He fired the inquiry back
to Uncle Sam with the laconic
notation, "A.D. or B.C.?"
But most of the confusion is
among the taxpayers.

emily suffered little damage. The
worst came from South Lebanon
and the Bekka Valley. There
panic stricken natives rushed
from their tottering houses into
the fields and onto beaches.
The government-controlled ra-
dio station throughout the night
and during today has been
broadcasting appeals for calm
and giving latest information on
the damage. 1t proclaimed three
days mourning for the victims.

was due to forces accumulated
in the earth for many years
probably hundreds - with as
many more years expected to
form enough energy for a new
quake"

Discrediting Stulin
BY JACK SMITH

Associated Press Foreign Correspondent
LONDON, Mar. II. The
Kremlin's top lieutenants in
London showed signs of being
shaken today by reports leaking
out of Moscow that Nikita
Khrushchev denounced Stain as
a blundering murderer.
The denunciation by the First
Secretary of the Communist
Party was reported TO have
caused riots in Tbilisi (Tiflis), in
Stalin's home state of Georgia,
protesting the discrediting of the
one-time dictator.
Georgi Malenkov, for years
Stalin's secretary and known as
his "eyes and ears" showed up
two hours late for an appoint
ment on his tour of British power
stations. The lack of punctuality
is unusual in a Soviet official.
Mr.. Malenkov, deposed Pre-
mier, is here in his new role as

Soviet minister of power sta
tions. One report published
here said he was personally men,
toned in the denunciation by
Mr.. Khrushchev.
Malik Delays Conference
Soviet Ambassador Jakob Ma
lik at almost the last minute
postponed a long-scheduled con-
ference with the Japanese envoy,
Shuichi Matsumoto, in another
of their periodic meetings on a
proposed Soviet-Japanese peace
treaty.
Mr.. Malik said he was busy
eScorting Mr.. Malenkov. The
latter gave no explanation for
his lateness.
Lights blazed in Mr.. Malen-
kov's room in the Soviet EN-
bassy until way past midnight
last night. A Soviet official said
he was busy reading translations
of British press dispatches say
ing Mr.. Khrushchev had de-
nounced Stain in a secret ses-
sion of the recent Communist
Party Congress in Moscow.
K newsman asked Mr.. Malen-
kov to comment ON the reports
today. His usual smiling self,
Mr.. Malenkov replied:
II have not had time to study
the report in detail"
He added:
when I have time to study
it I will perhaps have something
to say"
Still Friendly
Asked if he was still friendly
with Mr.. Khrushchev, the Com
munist Party boss. Mr.. Malenkov
replied testify:
Eyes, of course I am still
friendly with him."
AS the dominant personality
in Moscow's new collective lead
ership." Mr.. Khrushchev pre-
sumably was responsible for
dropping Mr.. Malenkov out of
the Premiership a year ago.
Mr.. Malenkov was in Moscow
at the time MIR. Khrushchev was
reported to have made his speech
and presumably knew all about
it. But the fact that reports OF
the speech now are leaking Out
of the Soviet capital, together
with the stories of disorder in
Georgia. obviously were being
studied by him with great in
terest.
The first reports of the Khru-
shchev speech filtered through
diplomatic sources in Europe.
Stanley johnson, Associated
Press correspondent in Moscow,
was able to get only a brief dis
patch past the censor after five
days of effort. Diplomatic re-
ports from Moscow pictured the
Soviet capital as ridden with
rumors about the Khrushchev
speech on the dead dictator.
The British Foreign Otflce said
it had known for about a week
that "rumors" were circulating
in Russia about the bitter per-
sonal attack. British officials
said privately they had heard,
too, about the trouble in Georgia.
But the official Foreign Office
spokesman refused to comment
on that report.
Warning on Exaggeration
Some British and Western
diplomatic experts with access
to dispatches from Moscow
cautioned that some published
accounts of Mr.. Khrushchev's
statements might be exagger-
ated.
Some observers suggested that
the Communists could be leak
ing the accounts for the delib-
crate purpose of convincing the
