Fourteen Drowned
Fourteen passengers drowned.
Nine passengers and all four
crew members managed to reach

The indictment listed several
conditions which it said made
the Marvel unseaworthy when
It was taken from port at An
napolis for the final trip. These
included excessive rot, weak and
unsound hull, neglect Of ade-
quate repairs. inadequate lights
lack Of bilge pumps. lack Of an
operative radio-telephone. and
lack of a barometer.

of failing to provide q crew
adequate to operate the Marvel

The indictment also said Capt.
Meckling took the Marvel from
q safe moorage at Cambridge on
August IL, the day before she
sank. when he had reason to
believe a hurricane was moving
up the coast.
Legislation now before Con-
gress would give the Coast Guard
authority to inspect and regulate
vessels Of the Marvel's type or
any boat carrying six or more
passengers for hire, regardless
Of length or tonnage.
The l79-foot Marvel weighed
less than 750 tons and therefore
was not subject to Coast Guard

Developers Hi
Fairfax Delay

/ A group Of Fairfax County
landowners and developers will
meet at 8 pm. tomorrow at the
Annandale Elementary School
Ito air complaints about "grow-
ing handicaps and road blocks"
in the subdivision control sec
ltion Of the county government.
/ Walter Grain. chairman Of a
steering committee formed last
week. said developers sometimes
were tied up for six months be-
cause Of unnecessary" require
lments for new subdivisions. He
protested that the small build
ers were especially hard hit.
The steering committee was
formed after a number Of de-
velopers complained that the
subdivision control office in the
county was making excessive
and prohibitive demands :. for
storm drainage. flood plans and
unnecessary easements.
The developers complained
that they could get subdivision
Iplats approved in other jurisdic-
ltions in two weeks, but some
times it took them seven months
in Fairfax County. They de-
Iclared that the county employees
were unwilling to accept the
work of qualified private engi-
neers in many cases.
Edward L. Kipp, Fairfax d.
irector Of public works, declared
that the county currently is ap-
proving subdivision plats that
came to his Office in December.
He said his department did not
have enough engineers to turn
out the large amount of plats
currently being filed in a fast
growing county like Fairfax.
He added. however. that the
county was striving to see that
adequate storm drainage was
provided in subdivisions, espe-
Icially in areas that might be
Subject to flood in heavy rains.

people talk about riffs in the

fact that, in general, and over
che whole field of external policy
our two governments have
succeeded in moving in harmony.
Partnership Is Target
Il carefully do not say in
unison. for our two great coun-
tries have different parts to play.
The thing to look at is the final
chord.
And all this has been achieved
in spite of the increasing at
tempts made to force us apart,
since one of the Soviet objec-
tives must obviously be to weak
en- the strongest element in the
opposing camp, which is the

In the continuing controversy,
said the ambassador. the West

main problems: The one of
unity, the one of organizing re-

ism. He thought better inter-

help, particularly in the latter
