Navy Begins Inquiry
In Destroyer Collision

pitalized.
The collision between the
destroyers Collett and Am
men occurred at 9:42 am
about seven miles of the re-
Iort city of Newport Beach
south Of here.
One dead sailor was still
trapped in the bow when the
damaged USS Collett limpeo
into port 10 hours later.

The Collett made port here
last night under her owr

USS Ammen, was towed into

astern of amidships, was a
tumble Of iron, electronics
equipment. Navy manuals and
broken bodies.
The injured and eight of
the bodies were taken off by
small craft in patchy. cotton
like fog of Newport Beach.
Three Of the bodies were still
trapped in the superstructure
wreckage when the Ammen was
pushed into the dock while
hundreds of sailors and ship
yard workers sadly watched.
Comdr. Mukhalian said the
Ammen tracked the Collett on
its radar scope for 20 minutes
before the collision.
The visibility was about 800
to 1900 yards in the fog,
Comdr. Mukhalian said.
"The Collett broke out of a
fog patch heading straight for
us. The officer Of the deck
didn't even have time to order
a rudder change" he said.
After the initial shock, he
said, he ordered the engines
stopped. The Collett glanced
of and disappeared into the
fog.
There was some flooding, but
the Ammen crewmen quickly
shut off Watertight doors. The
ship was listing about II de-
grees when the Collett. hidden
in the fog, asked on the radio
do you require assistance?"
The .Ammen's answer: DO
you require assistance?"
Comdr. Mukhalian said the
Ammen was travelling slow. He
would not pin down its speed,
Neither would he estimate the
Collett's speed, but he admitted
that such information was
available to him from the radar
track.
Under the rules of the road,
I assume I was in the right of
way" Comdr. Mukhalian said
when asked by a reporter.
Called Unavoidable
Although the Collett was
plainly visible on the Ammen's
radarscope, Comdr. Mukhalian
said, the collision was unavoid-
able because it takes three
minutes to change the plot
after the other ship has
changed course. This indicated
the Collett was sailing a zigzag
pattern, possible at high speed
Destroyers. which carry a COM
plement of about $50 crewmen,

Facing the press in his hot
and still listing wardroom at
dockside, Comdr. Mukhalian
said woefully:

II good men"

Minister Fidel Castro's revo-
lutionary regime.

Soviet warning.
Don't touch US. Don't seek

alism," was the United States
reply.
BY a vote of 8 to 0, with 2 abb

Gil approved an Argentine
Ecuadorean resolution to halt
action on the Cuban complaint
until the 2l-nation Organiza-
ton Of American States reports
back on it's efforts to resolve
the United s-Cuban dis
pute.
Only the Soviet Union and
Poland abstained on the res
olution, which also urged all
countries to refrain from any
action that might aggravate
United States-Cuban tensions.
Soviet : proposed amend
mentS to delete any mention
of GAS in the resolution were
turned down with only the
Soviet Union and Poland in
favor. Tunisia abstained.
Cuba announced it accepted
the decision of the Council,
but would have preferred a
condemnation of the United
States. Cuba charged that
Washington was committing
economic aggression against
her.
Soviet delegate Arkady A..
Sobolev and United States
Ambassador Henry Cabot
Lodge issued the don't touch
SuDd warnings.
Mr.. Sobolev reiterated Pre-
mier Khrushchev's warning
that Soviet military might
would be made available to
Cuba if that country is at
tackled. He said this did not
mean the Soviet Union was
threatening the United States
with rockets, but was merely
saying:
Don't touch Cuba. Leave
Cuba alone. Don't threaten
Cuba with your might. Other
coun tries also have much
might"
To this Mr.. Lodge replied:
Neither we nor the members
of the Organization of American
States are frightened by these
threats. nor will be deferred
from our treaty obligations to
prevent establishment Of a
regime dominated by interna-
tional communism.

GUATEMALA, July 20 (AP)
Police fired into the air last
night to break up a leftist mob
protesting the governments
order putting the nation under
a state of siege.
The demonstrators shouted
Long live Arbenz! Long live
Arevalo!" referring to former
President Jacobo Arbenz Guz-
man and Juan Jose Arevalo,
pro- Communist leaders now in
exile. The mob ran to the
National Congress Building and
tried to regroup, but police fired
into the air again and they
scattered.
The modified martial law was
clamped on for 80 days after
an assault Monday on a mill
tary base about 100 miles north
of the capital. Officials said
IA men armed with machine
guns tried to seize the garrison,
at Coban, but were repulsed.
The incident climaxed weeks
of terrorist bombings.
The government also decreed
curfew from 9 pm. to dawn,
banned meetings of more than
four persons, took control Of
the Nations radio stations and
hooked them up in a network,
and announced troops and po-
lice are empowered to search
homes and cars for bombs.
National Deputy Abraham
Cabrera Cruz charged in the
National Assembly yesterday
that the Communists were be-
hind the terrorist acts and also
had a hand in the fire which
swept an insane asylum here
last Thursday, killing at least
l55 persons.

Department deputy who was
on one of the first rescue boats
to reach the area, said a man
aboard the Collett reckoned
that ships speed at II knots
or II nautical miles (6,O8O.2O

80 Feet Caved In
Mr.. Amin added: "At least
80 feet Of the Ammen's port
side was caved in. 1t was Just
like you'd kick in a big can.
Its deck was only 5 feet above
water.
1T was so foggy we couldn't
see more than one-eighth OF
a mile. Wreckage on the Am
mems deck was terrific. Cabins
were caved in. The Collet's
anchor was still embedded in a
cabin. The cabin was crushed,
like a beer can"
The destroyers are 376 feet
long.
The swirling cottony fog,
blown by winds that kicked up
a choppy sea, made rescue eff

lifted a bit. Rescue ships and
helicopterS fro mall nearby
armed forces facilities, plus a
host of small craft from New
port Beach, swarmed in.
Visibility was so poor at first
that neither ships nor 'copters
could contact the stricken de-
stroyers.
A life guard boat made it
first, taking a load of eight
ashore. Then a helicopter got
a load of stretchers. Soon
there was stream of boats
heading shoreward.
An emergency station was
set up at the exclusive Balboa
Bay Club near the Harbor De-
partment. Other sailors, some
only slightly injured, came
ashore in the boat shuttle and
were treated there.
Some Of the injured wore
life jackets and were soaked

leftover Stalinists in Russia who ignore Khru-
shchev's relaxation and violate the secrecy of
correspondence guaranteed by the Soviet con-
stitution. They'd better watch their step,
suggested, for Comrade Khrushchev may catch
up with them and put them behind bars.
My little trick worked. In the next letter,
dated January 27, 1859, George reported that he
had received the missing letters. He was now
living in Moscow and he ended his letter with
a suggestion: "Why don't we meet somewhere
in Europe this coming summer? l could 60 as
tourist to any European country"
This was startling. Of course, | knew that
under the present leadership the Soviet big
wheels were travelling to Europe in droves. But
my brother George did not quite belong to the
cream of Soviet society. And there was another
cause for wonder. In an earlier letter from
Mother several lines were blotted out. But
through the ink could still read: "In l95l-53
George and | were in Siberia, turning up the
virgin lands The fact that my mother was in
those Codforsaken lands at the age of 68 and
that George omitted this journey from his life
story was an indication that their trip was for
punishment. | had always believed that no
Soviet citizen could get passport with such a
mark on his record.

The letter was postmarked Vienna. which
suggested that it was smuggled out of Russia.
Was my brother preparing to defect to the West?
didn't answer this letter. If he was planning
breakof, he would come to Vienna anyway.
Silence was best for the moment.
But George thought otherwise. In letter of
July he demanded my answer by cable. l
couldn't believe my eyes. Cables are certain to
attract the attention of neighbors and police
informers. Now was sure that something was

QUESTION: Why is it Gus
tomary for one who is recit-
ing grace after meals to in
clude a blessing for the host
and his family?
ANSWER: The Tanaaim, in
commenting on the biblical
verse Deuteronomy 8:10)
"And thou shalt eat and be
satisfied, and bless the Lord
thy Cd :" say that this
also means to say that bless
ing should be included for the
host (Sifre, Deuteronomy .
Generally speaking, it was the
desire of the Torah that a per-
son be thankful, after eating,
to those who made his meal
possible, including both the
Heavenly Host of the universe
and the mortal host on earth.
QUESTION: Why is it Gus
tomary, upon entering the
synagogue, to bow ones head
in the direction of the Holy
Ark?
ANSWER: TraditionaliStS
have based this practice on
the passage in the Bible (Deu-
toronomy 21:10) which states
land thou shalt bow down
before the Lord thy God. "
Some have also drawn the ba-
sis for this custom from the
passage in the Psalms (95:6)

Even little Liechtensteln

it's Jews, numbering only
Al. Luxembourg, which had
a flouriShing Jewish COM
munity before the war, re-
ports that it has now only
$40 Jews.
Austria lists 11,224 Jews,
and West Germany reports
17,117 in the Federal Re-
public proper, with an addi-
tional 1853 in West Berlin.
The laws regarding freedom
of religion in both these
former hard-core Nazl
countries are among the
most liberal in the world.
Spain is reported having
5000 Jews, and Portugal
about 1000. The Spanish
laws are seen here by ex-
perts as weighted very
largely in favor of Cathol-
icism and against any other
religious practices. H O W.
ever, it is reported that
synagogues exist in Madrid
and Barcelona.
The Scandinavian coun-
tries are considered as out
standing in their laws pro-
tecting freedom of religion,
and experts here note that
the laws are enforced with
comm urate strict
ness. The Jewish popula-
ton in Sweden is given as

bow down and bend the knee;
let us kneel before the Lord
our Maker" AS a matter of
fact, on coming into the syna-
gogue and bowling ones head,
one customarily utters the ex-
preston "And l will worship
and bow down; 1 will bend
the knee before the Lord thy
Maker" Generally speaking,
this has been a matter of ap-
preaching the Holy Place of
prayer in due humility and
subservience to the Almighty.
In oriental times one would
approach a mortal king by
bowling and even kneeling in
humility.
QUESTION: Why is it pro-
hibited to leave a dying man
alone while he is expiring?
ANSWER: Some have baS-
ed this upon the passage in
the Psalms (49:10,11) which
reads "And he should still live
always, that he should not
see the pit. For he Seeth that
wise man die" This is taken
to mean it is a virtue to stand
by the side of a dying man.
The Mystics contend that the
soul is very despondent when
it leaves the body and is full
of grief at leaving its mortal
home. The company of a
friend at the time helps the
soul to adjust itself to the
circumstances. Being alone at
the time makes the soul deep
ly grieved. Besides all this,
there is a practical basis for
this custom. To the last min
ute there is always something
that might be done for the
comfort and respect of the
dying man.

rangementS for overcoming
those restrictions have been
effected in cooperation be-
tween the Jewish commu-
mites and the governments
concerned. Switzerland re-
ports a Jewish population
of 1904, while the Jews
in Norway totaled only 836
in the last census reported,
in 1850.
The Greek figures note
that Salonika alone had,
Just before World War II
erupted, $4,000 Jews. AS of
1854, the report shows, all
of Greece contained only
between 300 and 1000 Jews.
A similar picture of the
Nazi holocaust is seen from
a reading of the report sent
in by The Netherlands. The
Dutch census of 1947 listed
1896 Jews. But the fig
ures show that, in 1888, the
Jewish population n u M
bered 100000. The report
adds this footnote: "It is
estimated that, during the
German occupation of 1910
1915, not less than rs per-
cent of the Dutch Jews
were executed"
Belgium which h a d
about $4,000 Jews before
the war, is credited with
between $4,000 and 10000
Jews. Like most of the
