Ship Lines Agree
To SettIementin
Dorio Sinking

LONDON, Jan. % (R.-The
Italian Line. the Swedish Amer
lean Line and insurance firms
involved in litigation arising
from sinking Of the Andrea
Doria have agreed upon an out
of-court settlement. the Insti-
tute of London Underwriters
announced today.
The announcement said the
agreement should provide a
basis for the prompt settlement
of all claims resulting from the
collision without records to
further litigation"
Talks had been under way in
London for some time. The
major part Of the insurance on
both the Andrea Doria and the
Stockholm which collided last
July Is was covered here.
The case is before Federal
Court in New York. Over 1000
suits totaling more than $3.50
million are pending.
The italian liner Andrea Doria
sank of Nantucket after collid-
ing with the Stockholm. Fifty
Lives we're lost.
A clear hint that a settlement
was imminent came yesterday in
New York when pretrial con-
ference of all attorneys involved
in the case was put off until
Thursday by Federal Judge Law
renee E. Walsh.
New York reports said the two
steamship lines agreed, with
their insurance underwriters
participating, to drop their suits
against each other and to share
the cost Of settling the claims of
all third parties. These claims
include those of passengers in
jured or killed. and of cargoes
and baggage lost.

2-Term Limit
Repeal Sought
In Congress

Democrats in both Houses OF
Congress started a movement to-
day to repeal the constitutional
amendment forbidding more
than two terms for any Presi-
dent.
In the Senate the proposal was
offered by Senator Neuberger,
Democrat Of Oregon, and in the
House by Representative Udall,
Democrat of Arizona. Mr.. Udall
pointed out that his resolution
would make President Eisen-
hover eligible to run again.
The Arizona member predict
ed, however. that his proposal
has little chance of approval be-
cause he believes not many OF
the Republicans who voted in
1947 for the two-term limit
would not reverse themselves.
Senator Neuberger also pro-
posed that when the Office OF
President becomes vacant with
in the first two years Of a term
enother election be held.

the immigration law after they
fed their country during the
anti-Soviet uprisings.
Mr.. Walter previously hao
complained that these provisions
were not intended to cover such
situations. but rather emergen-
cies affecting persons actually
at the borders of the United
States-such as shipwreck SUR

Mr.. Walter also has said he

Mr.. Walter said, on a bill that
would m axe fundamental
changes in the basic immigration
law. including abandoning the
fixing of quotas on the basis Of

This measure is sponsored by
Chairman Celler. Democrat o.
New York, of the House Judici-
airy Committee and 81 othel
House Democrats. Its principa,

would avoid any thought. that
the United States would have to
Ego it alone" He said this was
one weakness in the Formosa
resolution of two years ago.
Some committee m m b e S
thought mentioning the attacks
on Israel might make it more
difficult for the mission which
lis going to the Middle East to
work out its program for help
ing that area.
Can't Please Everybody
But Mr.. Finletter replied that
trying to please everybody has
not worked out so well in the
past. He thought adherence tc
principles would be a better ap.
proach.
Mr.. Finletter said the United
States had made mistakes in thu
Middle East by being lover real
istic. and it has been the caust
of most of our difficulties. HI
said this country has tried tt
compromise with things it be.
lieves in because of the impor'
lance of the oil resources in tina
area.

Finletter, Che committee will q

Rayburn indicated the issue
would be ready for House action
next week.
Mr., Finletter told the commit
tee he would grant President
Eisenhower the authority he re-
quested to use armed forces
against covert" Communist ag-
gression in the Middle East, and
to use 5000 million of economic
aid in that area.
Would Go Further
But the witness said he would
go further by adding to the reso-
luton the following:
Furthermore. it is the sense
of Congress that this country
will view with grave concern any
new or continued efforts Of in
ternational communism to use
covert methods of aggression tc
bring under its domination peo-
pies in the general area CT the
Middle East who are now free
and independent.
Furthermore, it is the sense
of the Congress that measures
should be taken by the United
States to remove the causes OF
the disturbed conditions in the
Middle East, the continuance OF
which facilitate the penetration
of communism in the area, in
Guiding particularly such mat
tiers as (a) the lack of assurance
of uninterrupted use of the. Sue2
Canal. without discrimination
by the shipping of all nations:
I'D the lack of effective ar
rangements to protect the states
of the area against aggression by
their neighbors. and (c) the eco
nomic and social warfare cur
rently being carried on agaklNt
Israel and against Americans
and others of Jewish faith"

Fog Delays Exodus
Of Inaugural Visitors
Puruders Win
Congratulations
Of President
BY HERMAN sCHAnEN

Everybody from President Eli
senhower to the very last man in
the street seemed to agree today
it was about the finest Inaugu-
ration Day ever.
Financially. perhaps it wasn't
quite the success of four years
ago, but artistically, it was
everything the script called for
and more.
This in spite of the fact that
at the end everything literally
logged up. Washington and the
entire Atlantic Coast awoke in
an opaque curtain which put a
decided crimp on travel.
National Airport shut down at
Q am. keeping a lot of visitors
pinned down until nearly noon.
This morning a few of the so
large private planes here for the
inaugural crept up through the
mist but most waited for better
conditions.
Buses Run, Late
Bus lines reported delays of
80 minutes to an hour in all
directions. and many of yeSter-
days celebrants were late for
work as they felt their way by
auto.
Most of the 100000 or more
out-of -towners seemed to have
taken off last night. Union Sta
ton was a near-record jam at
SPIN. as thousands pushed their
way out.
The man responsible for all
the shouting-President Eisen-
hower-was up and at 'em again
by 8 am. today. just an hour
later than usual. Probably the
most active man in the city yes
terday, Mr.. Eisenhower was re-
ported feeling fine"

the fancy of the 100000 which
Police Chief Robert v. Murray

streets and peered from win
dows. &
President Lauds Paraders
To the satisfaction Of Parade
Chairman Edward r. Carr and
his jealous assistants, Mr.. Eli
senhower called the parade 'the
best I've ever seen-less Of the
raggedy, strolling kind of thing "

low that of four years ago.

present quota system based on
nationality of immigrants and
substitute a "class" basis with
out regard to national origin.
Mr.. Celler and former Senator
Lehman, Democrat of New York,
sponsored similar legislation last
year.
No Citizens Categories
"Under my proposal there will
be no discrimination based on
national origin or race, and there
will be no classification of United
States citizens into two cate
gorieS, native born and natu-
ralized," Mr.. Celler said in q
statement.
Within each of the five classes
no more than Is per cent of an
nual ALLEGATION could be issued tt
inhabitants of any single coun-
try. The President would submit
to Congress each year the pro.
posed ALLEGATION for each Of the
five classes and Congress Their
would have 60 days in which tt
approve or disapprove it. If Con-
gresS disagrees, the ALLEGATION
effective in the preceding years
would be used.
If Congress disapproves Of the
initial ALLEGATION, each class
would get 20 per cent Of the
total.
Mr.. Celler said under his bill
there will be no grounds
for loss of United States citizen
ship by naturalized citizens ex-
cept those that apply to native
born citizens"
He also would change the adj

Mad Bomber Caught
Tells Of His O|dHatred
Claims Firm
Gave Him
Raw Deal
BY MARK SHEEHAN AND
ED BUTLER
Associated Press Writers

WATERBURY, Conn.,, Jan. %.
"A clean-cut looking man in
blue suit told calmly today of
Is years of suffering and Of
hatred boiling up inside him.
Then he confessed he is New
York's mad bomber"
George Metesky is his name.
He's So. stocky and gray-haired.
He said he made a vow a long
time ago to go on planting
bombs in New York until he
either got caught or died.
This is the man." said Wal
ter Arm, New York deputy po-
lice commissioner. 1--WE know
him by his admissions. Secondly,
we know him by a check of his
handwriting"
A number of letters and cards
written by the bomber during
the, years indicated he held some
grievance against New York's
Consolidated Edison Co. But
painstaking searches of company
records brought no clue.
Public Aid Asked by Police
Getting nowhere after Is years
of fruitless efforts to nab the
bomber, police recently decided
to appeal for public aid and
made available practically all the
information they had.
Newspapers gave prominent
display to the material and one,
the New York Journal-American,
published a series of front-page
pleas to the bomber to sur
render.
The bomber. in turn, began
writing letters to the paper,
making further references to his
grievance against Consolidated
Edison. The information caused
police to examine utility files re-
lating to employee injuries and
yesterday they spotted one
pointing to Metesky.
Charged with being a fugitive,
Metesky waived extradition in a
special City Court session at
1890 am. New York police said
he would be held here. under
$500. 900 bond, until warrants ar
rived from New York this after
noon.
Signs Statement
I Mr.. Arm said Metesky signed
a written statement saying he
is the man who, because he felt
he got raw deal from Con-
Solidated Edison for whom he
once worked. planted at least
80 bombs in public places in
New York since 1941.
Several of the bombs exploded.
The toll: Is persons injured, none
critically.
Mr.. Arm quoted Metesky as
saying he never meant to kill
; anyone. The commissioner added
that Metesky said he planted
bombs in New York whenever
he felt like it."
In his gold-rimmed eyeglasses
Metesky could well have passed
for a schoolteacher as he Went
over each bombing one by one
with police in Waterbury's police
headquarters in all-night ques-
tioning. He was awakened from
) his bed, shortly after midnight
and taken in.
Metesky said he contracted
pulmonary tuberculosis after he
was gassed while working at
Consolidated Edison's Hell Gate
plant in New York in 1881, ac-
