“Mutiny Ship”
Reports All Okeh
LONDON, — (/P) —The U.S.
Navy said today it had received
a message saying “everything is
under control” on the U.S. freight
er William Carson, whose master
had reported the crew was mutin
ous.
The Navy had alerted the air
craft carrier Coral Sea to prepare
to send planes to locate the 7,000
ton Liberty Ship in the Azores
area.
The Coast Guard Cutter Camp
bell was under full speed toward
the scene.
Rear Adm. A. J. Mclean, com- I
mander aboard the battleship
Missouri in the Azores waters,
mesaged U.S. Navy headquarters
here that the trouble apparently
was quelled. The Missouri had j
sailed two days ago from Gib- i
raltar for Cuba.
W. A. Muller and Co., London
agents for the Carson, said “it j
is possible the crew has put the ]
radio equipment out of order.”
Early today a Lloyd’s report
from the Valencia radio said that
the ship’s master, Capt. E. W.
Braithwaite of Savannah, had sent
an SOS which said: “Crew mutin
ous. Cannot control .Please come
at once.” ^

gone to Alaska as reduced rates,
Skinner asserted.
“The operators have certainly
made no ‘gravy train’ profits out
of the post war shipping program,’
he said.
The “gravy train” allegation
was made by Maritime Commis
sioner Grenville Mellen in an
nouncing “the reestablishment of
Alaska shipping on a commercial !
basis.”
Mellen said at Washington, D.
C., yesterday that the Commission
has no formal consideration for!
a new Alaska ship program. It
will withhold action, he said, un- ;
til it has received formal applica- J
tions from the four Seattle-Alaska j
lines for eight-month extensions
as approved by Congress.
The new law, however, sub
stitutes “may” for “shall” in pro
posing a shipping program sim
ilar to the old one.
Mellen said the old agreement
provided the companies with gov
ernment-owned ships at $1 a year
charter hire, with the government
required to carry full insurance
costs, not only on .its ships, but
on privately owned vessels too.

Raw Steak And
Salty Oratory
Pleases Democrats
(Continued from Page One)
dential candidate who will be ac
ceptable to all sections of the party.
But they may have found the nom
inee for vice-president, of whom
more will be said here.
First of all, the steak.
It was a real one, a medium
sized sirloin, raw, red, limp and
damp. It was introduced in evi
dence, so to speak, by Mrs. India
Edwards, chairman of the women’s
division of the National ComAiittee.
She was proving a point with it.
Mrs. Edwards, handsome and
fashionable, in after-dinner black, J
brought a market bag with her
last night, when she made her
speech blaming the Republicans
for the high cost of food. The bag
contained a quart of milk, a pound
of margarine—and the red meat.
The price of each was stated by
the speaker. And if her object
was to startle her hearers with the
steak, she achieved it in full meas
ure. They gasped, gulped, then
laughed and cheered.
It hung in her hand, oozing
limply down between her fingers, j
and partly obscuring the diamond
rings that glittered and twinkled
in the bright klieg lights. It looked
somehow, like a red jellyfish stuck
on a trident encrusted with jewels.
Mrs. Edwards told her audience
how much she had paid for it.
Then she put it down on the ros
trom beside her. Because of the
slant in the rostrom, the steak be
gan to creep downhill until it was
dripping partly over the edge.
She retrieved it, to the delight 1
of the photoghaphers who asked
her to hold it up again “for just
one more.” Mrs. Edwards com
plied.
Mrs. Edwards’ steak and the
rolling periods of Senator Alben
W. Barkley’s keynote speech, de
! livered just before, put the Demo
crats in a mood they have not
known since the convention be
gan.
The Senator is a square-set, bar
I rel-bodied man with white hair
and a flinty, fighting face. He
delivered a fighting speech, and
it was just what the strife-tom
Democrats wanted to hear.
