2 FREIGHTERS CRASH
NEAR SEATTLE
SEATTLE, (JP)—Two sea-going
freighters collided in dense fog
in the Strait of Juan de Fuca
early Tuesday.
One seaman of the Japanese
ship Taikyu Muru was reported
killed, the U.S. Coast Guard said.
Brief messages from the two
ships, intercepted by the Gordon
Head wireless station at Victoria,
B.C., said neither ship was be
lieved seriously damaged, and
both were proceeding.
The other ship was the 7,176
ton Greek ship George D. Grat
sos, bound for the Columbia R.
The Victoria wireless station
said the Greek vessel first sent
out a call for assistance, but later
canceled the call after a check
on its damage.
A thick fog covered the area
and the pilot of a Coast Guard
plane which flew over the scene
two hours after the crash radioed
he was unable to spot the vessels
except on his radar screen.

Uniform Freight Rates
For Alaska Fish Scheduled
Soon For East-of-Chicago
SEATTLE, (/P)—Joint ship-rail
rates on frozen fish from Ketchi
kan and other southeastern Al
aska points to territory east of
Chicago will be made uniform
within 60 days whether shipments
are routed through Seattle or
Prince Rupert, B.C., traffic con
sultant Fred H. Tolans said Wed
nesday.
Tolan said several hundred car
loads are now moved annually
through Prince Rupert due to a
preferential rate given that route.
Shipments to points west of Chi
cago already have uniform rates.
Tolan said the uniform rates
will insure full use of Seattle fa
cilities for handling frozen fish,
and also will be an important step
in obtaining rates encouraging the
movement of pulp and aluminum
products through Seattle.

Truman Defends,
Plan For National
Health' Insurance
By Ernest B. Vaccaro
PHILADELPHIA, <;p) — Presi
dent Truman Tuesday described
opponents of national health in
surance—Gen. Dwight D. Eisen
hower is among them— as “pull
backs” who want to “go back to
the horse and buggy days.”
The President declared “It is
a job for all of us” to bring medi
cal and health services to the peo
ple at a price they can afford to
pay.
“I would not call such a goal
‘socialism’,” Truman said. “I
would call it a goal of enterprise
—American enterprise.”
Truman didn’t mention the Re
publican presidential nominee by
name in a speech prepared for a
luncheon of the American Hos
pital Assn, in Convention Hall.
But he quoted language used by
Eisenhower in New York Sunday
opposing Truman’s medical insur
ance plan. Eisenhower advocated,
among other steps, “locally ad
ministered indigent [needy] med
ical care programs.”
“That’s about like saying we
don’t need any form of social
security except the county poor
house,” Truman said.
Truman’s opponents have de
nounced Truman’s past proposals
to Congress as “socialized medi
cine” and compulsary medical in
surance,” definitions with which
he differs.
