U.S.. Ship
Is Blamed
In Collision

NORFOLK, Va. Jan. Is
(AP). - A Coast Guard board
Of investigation has concluded
that the principal cause Of the
collision of the destroyer escort
USS Darby and the Swedish
vessel Scya Atlantic off Cape

Of the Darby to detect the Soya
until collision was imminent.
Two Darby men died in the
crash at the entrance to Chesa-

of Comdr. Allen John c.,

Of the deck) is evident in this
case. However, the degree of
such does not appear to
reach a stage amounting to
criminality."
The Darby. manned by
reservists, was inbound from
sea after participating in mill
tary exercises. The Soya At
lantic was bound to sea from
Baltimore.
The board further concluded
that the Darby's speed t19
knots) was excessive in view
Of prevailing darkness and the
area. where traffic converges
from four main directions, and
the close proximity Of the
Virginia and Maryland pilot
stations.
The board ascribed no fault
to the Soya Atlantic for her

to examine the problems in
volved in the negotiations.
Some authorities believe the
talks could pick up again be-
fore the review has been COM
pleted. They are said to favor
a delay Of only two or three
weeks.
A longer delay, these author
tiles believe, would throw the
deadlock into the United Ma
tions General Assembly, which
reconvenes March !. There,
Russia would have q bright
stage from which to exploit
Soviet Premier Khrushchev's
demand for complete and total
disarmament.
A disarmament panel, which
had examined the 15-year his
tory of post-World War II fu-
tile talks with Russia, recon-
mended a delay in new nego-
tiations.
When the nuclear talks were
suspended, the American dele
cation said the next sessions
would be decisive in the search
for an acceptable inspection
system whereby both sides

A continuing stream of fam
lies to homes in new and far
ther-out suburbs is one of the
outstanding characteristics OF

Leonard N. Raffell, president OF

Raffell, attending the 54th an
nual convention of the National
Association of Real Estate
Boards, said that an intensified
flight to fringe areas around ex-
panding cities is indicated by
the reports of realtors specialize
ing in what used to be farm
land adjacent to metropolitan

Three central factors seem
to be responsible for this height
ened attraction of farther-out
house locations" Raffell said.
