Senators Urge Gold Subsidy Plan Or Want Alternate

WASHINGTON tR - Secretary of the Treasury C. Douglas Dillon was urged today by seven senators to endorse their plan for increas- ing US. gold production or offer an alternative.
 The group of senators wrote Dillon:
 Tn the light of your statement that you would like to see more gold produced, we think you ought to either support our suggestion or come up with better one.''
 Dillon testified recently before a House subcommittee We cer- tainly would like to see more gold produced if there were any way to produce it without giving the ap- pearance of having two prices for gold.'
 Sen Clair Engle, D-Calif9, au- thor of a bill backed by the seven senators, said the measure would not establish two prices for gold and would provide that the Treas ury price of gold shall not be changed
 The measure calls for a subsidy, varying from mine to mine, to supply an incentive to get the limping domestic gold industry back to capacity operations, he said.
 Other senators joining in the letter were Karl E. Mundt, R- S.D9, Thomas H. Kuchel, R-Cal Frank Church, D-Idaho), J. J Hickey, D-Wyo, E. L. Bartlett and Ernest Gruening.

 The master of the ship, ill and Respondent, hanged himself in his cabin at San Pedro, Calif., 10 days ago.
 The steward found him. Two days later the steward suffered a heart attack and had to be re- lieved.
 Then the chief engineer died.
 The chief mate had to be re- lieved of his duties. No reason was given
 The boatsWain suffered heart attack.
 A new master and chief engi- neer were flown from Germany, and the steamship sailed for Port land to load a cargo of grain.
 At Astoria, where the ship en- tered the Columbia River to head for Portland, the second officer had to be relived of his duties. As was the case of the chief mate, there was no explanation.
 By that time a new chief mate had arrived from Germany. He joined the ship at Astoria and made the journey 100 miles upstream to Portland.
 But Portland turned out to be the wrong port. The mistake was not explained, but the ship was told to turn around and sail for Seattle, where the ships ll,000-ton load of grain was waiting.
 So the Carl Fritzen headed back out of Portland Thursday night
 The new officers professed to be undisturbed by it all
 They did not discuss jinx.

 Stalled In Senate

WASHINGTON lR = The Sen ate was brought to d standstill to- day by the filibuster tactics of a small band of Democratic senators against the administrations com munication's satellite bill
