NORFOLK, Va. Mar. 81
(AP).-The Navy today sought
the reason for a battling. clear
night collision in which a
Swedish freighter rammed a
destroyer escort and almost
tore it in two.
Two Maryland reserviSts of
the USS Darby died and an
other was seriously injured
when the prov of the SIS Soya-
Atlantic knitted into the star
board side of the naval vessel
Saturday at the mouth Of
Chesapeake Bay.
The weather was clear and
the captains of both ships re-
portedly were on the bridge at
the time of the collision at
1859 pm.
When it was over, all that
connected the Darby's forward

10 feet of steel. A 25-foot cash

In Maryland

BALTIMORE, Mar. 81 tAP)
The State Board of Public
Welfare is attempting to set a
uniform policy on the degree to
which applicants for aid will be
held legally responsible for
their statements.
The board decided yesterday
to query judges and attorneys
and to learn practices in other
States before fixing a uniform
policy for Maryland.
The decision came after a
letter from Saul A. Harris,
States attorney for Baltimore,
disclosed that he recommended
against requiring welfare appli-
cantS to take an oath.
The issue was referred to the
State board by the advisory
committee to the city depart
ment. The action was taken in
the wake of widespread public
concern over welfare frauds
and a breakdown in the courts.
Judge j. Gilbert Prendergast,
when he sentenced four fraud
defendants February 8. ex-
pressed amazement at the man
ner in which relief records were
kept.
He said there was no at
tempt to have an applicant
sign a document that could be
used as proof of false state
ments.

School Band Plays Spring Concert Tonight

The Spring Festival of Music, under the direction of Leland Barber, at the Nome School, will be held this evening, starting at 7:30, in the Multi-Purpose Room. Those having tickets which are being sold by the Band members, are asked to note that the time is 7:30 instead of 7:50, as indicated on the tickets.
 Tickets are being sold to help defray the cost of repairing in- struments, and to start band fund, to be used next year. In 1859, the Nome School Band made the trip to the state festival for the first time,> and it proved to be most beneficial to the individual students participating, as well as to the band as a whole. The total cost is about $2,O00 for this school function, and more than one con- cert will be needed to make it possible for the band to travel again. The members of the band are working hard to sell the tick cts for tonight's concert.

Pearse, Mrs. Walsh Return from 2-Wk. European Tour

Nome to Rome and return tour ists for two weeks were MT. and Mrs. Pearse Walsh, as guests of SAS, over the North Pole route.
 The Walshes arrived in Rome the day before Easter, and were among the throng of 350,0OO people who filled the streets of the Eternal City on Easter Sum- day. They remained with the crowd from 6 am. until 2 pm, and were on hand when the Pope made his appearance on the bal cony at noon, as well as on the following day, which was a holi- day in Rome.
 By train they travelled up to Venice and Milan, both cities filled with tourists, and found over 500 waiting for planes in Milan. They travelled by train back to Copenhagen, enjoying the countries through which they passed Switzerland, Frank fort, and other German commit mites. At Lubeck, the whole train was transferred to a ferry which took them to Denmark.
 On their stopover in Copen- hagen, where they travelled from Oslo, they enjoyed side trip to Malmo in Sweden by ferry.
 Everywhere they went, they took in all the side tours that were possible. Walsh, who handles thousands of tourists here each summer with Wien Airlines, en- joyed being a tourist for change, and seeing how it is done in for eign countries.
 They were unable to stop in Paris, where Mrs. Walsh had planned to purchase a new hat; but they found the one she wears here was right in style in Rome.
 Walsh found people interested in Alaska, many referring to the "49th State" while others were very vague in knowledge of our state.
