and one Wesleyan Methodist
Church. The four Lutheran
Church bodies have already been
pointed out.
One outgrowth of this diver

These churches have been desig-

the Nations Capital.

Icused the other of making a turn
at the last moment which
brought the two vessels into each
others path.
At the time, the Stockholm
was heading eastward from New
York. The Andrea Doria was
inbound.
Much of the testimony cen
tered around weather conditions.
The Stockholm's officers said the
night was generally clear and lit
by moonlight, although there
were occasional fog patches. "
For this reason they felt no need

Capt. Piero Calamai, Of the
Andrea Doria, acknowledged that
! his liner had been enveloped in
fog for eight hours. This is one
of the points on which the
Swedish American Line bases Its
contention that the responsibility
| for the collision was the Andrea
| Doria'S.
Capt. Calamai admitted the
Andrea Doria was moving at 2l.o
knots, very near full speed for
| the ship.
international regulations for
prevention of collisions at sea
provide that in fog ships must
proceed at moderate speed
This has been interpreted in
United States courts to mean
that ship must be able to come
to dead halt within half the
distance of the visibility.
The regulations, however, were
established before the advent of
radar, which enables a ship to
spot another ship or object many
miles away through fog.
The Italian line took the posi-
ton that radar increased visi-
bility" and stated it felt. there
fore, that the ships speed still
was moderate" considering ra-
dar visibility.
Brussels Pact Cited
The regulations were pre-
Scribed by the Brussels Conven-
ltion of 1924. to which both the
Italian and Swedish companies
are signatories. While the ships
also were governed by laws of
their own countries, it is be-
lieved that the United States
court will base any decision on
the Brussels Convention
If that is the case, liability
could be apportioned between the
companies-such as so per cent

as five years would be needed
to reach the windup.
This is what Judge kaufman
would like to avoid.
The 47-year-old jurist, a
Federal judge since 1949, doesn't
like long winded cases and has
a reputation for persuading OPP
posing lawyers to come to terms
out of court.
Annoyed at the dragging pace
of the hearings up to now. he
has ordered them concluded by
the end of February and set the
trial to start the first Monday
in April. He warned that there
will be no delays.
Attorneys to Confer
In an effort to avert a long,
tiresome, expensive trial, he has
called on principal attorneys to
confer with him this month in
hope they can reach a settle
ment.
While there appears a good
chance that he may succeed,
there are at least two great
obstacles.
One is the amount of money
involved. 1t is generally agreed
that the parties would be con-
tent with fraction of the $55
million sought. but one of the
claims is too big to be compro-
missed easily or quickly.
The Italian Line. operator OF
the Andrea Doria. is seeking $3G
million from the Swedish
American Line. owner of the
Stockholm.
This represents an evaluation
of the Andrea Doria itself at $26
million, plus a SIS million esti-
mated loss of business due to
the sinking of the vessel.
The Swedish American Line,
in turn, is suing the Italian
company for only 81 million
This includes 81 million for re-
pairs to the Stock hol m
smashed bow, and 81 million for
loss of business during repairs
The primary drawback to a
quick end to the case, however,
lies in the legal position taken
by the Swedish American firm.
The lines position is that the
Stockholm was not in any way
responsible for the shattering
collision off Nantucket Island,
Mass.
At the outset. officers of both
vessels acknowledged having
sighted the other by radar at a
distance of some miles. Their
testimony was that each should
