a Halifax radio station and the
1871 Norwegian tanker Borga
took the East Star in tow.
On its way south the East
Star had borne a troupe of
Russian circus performers from
Quebec to Havana. 1t left Turks
Island November 8 and was due
to reach Halifax November 10.
40-FOOt Waves
The storm which struck on
the voyage north pounded the
East Star with waves up to 40
feet high. Seepage from the
salt cargo clogged the pumps.
The ships radio went out of
commission.
With the vessel in danger of
capsizing, Capt. Clarke ordered
a lifeboat over the side. A huge
wave smashed the boat as it
was lowered.
A liferaft was launched in
the darkness Friday morning.
Three crewmen had boarded it
and were awaiting the others
when the line snapped and set
the raft adrift.
5-Eoof SharLe Gar,
For the next % hours we
didn't Sleep" said one of the
three. Eve saw lots Of sharks
around us, the biggest 6 or
7 feet long. Their fins would
scrape the raft. We never
stopped praying"
A flashlight signal to a plane
that flew overhead-one of a
group hunting survivors Of the
abandoned Greek freighter
Captain George-led to the
resuce. The San Gaspar, steam
ing about 20 miles away, was
directed to the scene. The
tanker tried to tow the East
Star, but its dead weight and
cratic maneuvers led to the
abandonment of that effort
after five miles.

Wotered Fuel Blamed
For Storm-Lost Ship

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Nov.
10 (AP).-Watered fuel oil
taken on at Havana was blamed
by Chief Engineer Fritiov
johnson today for troubles
which forced the 13-man crew
to abandon the Canadian
freighter East Star in an At
lantic storm.
"Of about 20 tons of fuel
taken aboard, Is tons were
water" Mr.. Johnson estimated.
! The skipper of the 540-ton
vessel. Capt. Edward Clarke. 81,
said Mr.. johnson had notified
him when it stalled that the
engines had been pumping 8
mixture that was three parts
water" He said the Cuban fuel
loading totaled IS tons.
Experience Called Worst
Capt. Clarke described an IL
day battle with gale winds and
high seas with the failing
engines as the worst experience
Of his life.
All were rescued Saturday by
the British tanker San Gaspar.
Ten were picked from the East
Star and three from a drifting
life raft. They were landed
here yesterday.
The East Star, with a cargo
of Turks Island salt consigned
to Halifax, was left dead in the
water and listing UP to 25 de-
grees 100 miles east of Ber-
muda. Capt. Clarke telephoned

BY JOSEPH YOUNG
Star Staff Writer


Both the legal profession and
Government employe unions
will ask Congress next year to
enact legislation to protect
Federal employees against ar
bitrary or capricious agency
actions which jeopardize their
jobs and employment rights.
John Griner, president Of the
American Federation of Gov
eminent Employees, has an
nounced that his group will
seek such legislation.
SO has Carl Shipley, a prom
inent attorney here who also
is chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee for
the District.
Mr.. Shipley and his law firm,
Shipley, Alderman and Pickett,
recently represented a group of
Federal employees who sought
the right to appeal a Civil
Service Commissions job clas-
sification action. This was
turned down by the Supreme
Court.
Mr.. Shipley says the scope
of the problem extends far be-
yond the case in question, in
volving the present denial OF
Federal employe rights in many
aspects Of their job rights and
job security.
Will Go Before Congress
Mr.. Shipley said that next
January he and his partners
win call this matter to the at
teition Of Congress and ask
that legislation be enacted
making the Civil Service Com
mission subject to the Admin
istrative Procedure Act of 1916
This law sets up certain admin
istrative procedures, including
a right of judicial review Of
