LAW IN THE NEWS
Did Liner
Back Into
Settlement?
BY PHIL YEAGER and
JOHN STARK

Why did the Italian Line and
Swedish-American Line drop
their NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. dam
age suits against each other
suits which arose from the his
toric collision of the steamships
Andrea Doria and Stockholm in
the Nantucket fog last July?
The complete story, no doubt,
Is known only to the respective
company officials and their at
torneys. But it may be part Of
the answer lies with an unpub-
licized matter of seamanship on
the part of the Stockholm.
For the Stockholm, according
to reports, after ramming the
Doria's side with her bow, i'm
mediately backed off to a dis
lance Of several hundred yards,
although the ocean at the time
was extraordinarily calm.
Usual Procedure
Experienced naval and mer-
chant marine officers point out
that one Of the important rules
OF seamanship in the event of
a collision between ships is that
the ramming ship does not i'm
mediately disentangle herself.
Instead, unless the sea Is so
rough as to cause further dam
age by remaining together. the
ramming ship usually is expected
to maintain her position and
even move her engines ahead
slightly. This keeps the sea from
rushing into the damaged area
and helps preserve stability. It
gives the injured ships more time
to recover and sometimes may
save an otherwise doomed vessel.
Whether such a maneuver
would have helped the Doria is.
perhaps. problematical. And, Of
course. 1t has no bearing on the
cause Of the collision itself.
The point is that the conduct
Of vessels after collision, re-
CARELESS Of which one may have
been responsible for 1t, is some-
thing that is also taken into
consideration in determining
liability for damages.
May Have Been Factor
Hence 1t may be that the
Stockholm's post-crash maneu-
vers were a factor in the legal
settlement reached between the
steamship lines.
The theory is one which might
help explain what some people
have thought to be a rather
puzzling readiness on the part
of the Stockholm TO settle out
of court. At least, 1t has been
puzzling In the sense that the
Doria's sudden turn into the
path Of the Stockholm, as
brought out In pre-trial hear
ings. appeared TO place the bur-
den Of explanation foi The col
lision or the Italian vessel.

100000 Puts
MuntIeNextt to
Ruth, DiMog

NEW YORK. Feb. 4 tP.-
Mickey Mantle officially puts his
name on the third richest con-
tract in Yankee history today
after quietly but dramatically
revealing his intentions at the
biggest and briefest press confer
ence in sports history.
II have reached an agreement
with the Yankees and will sign a
contract Monday" the 25-year-
old triple batting crown winner
told some 1900 guests at the
34th annual dinner Of the New
York chapter of the Baseball
Writers Association last night.
That ended the press conference.
There were no questions. no
answers.
Mantle. who received the Sid
Mercer Award as "player of the
year." termed the agreement
very satisfactory but declined
to give the figures.
From another source. however
it was learned that the contract
calls for about 0,000--third to
the 100000 the Yankees paid
Joe DiMaggio and the 100000
paid to Babe Ruth. Yogi Berra is
believed to have a $4,000 con-
tract for 1857.
Nantes announcement came
so suddenly and quietly that few
in the audience realized at the
moment that he was announcing
the end Of his salary argument
with George Weiss, Yankee gen.
eral manager.
Thus after six years as a
Yankee. Mantle moves into Sec
ond place behind Boston's Ted
Williams as the highest paid ac-
tive player in the American
League. Williams is expected to
get 100000 again. In the Ma
tional League only Stan Musial
of the Cardinals, who gets $780,
900. tops Mantle.
Nantes brief announcement
was the highlight of the writer's
dinner. Phil Wrigley, owner of
the Cubs, was presented with the
William j. Slocum Award for
'long and meritorious service" to
the game.
The two awards were the
principal business of the eve
ming before the writers presented
