* Navy To Investigate
Collision of Destroyer
And Carrier Wasp
WASHINGTON, (/P) — The
Navy arranged Tuesday for a
formal inquiry into the mid-At
lantic sinking of the destroyer
minesweeper Hobscfn with an ap
* parent loss of 174 lives. It was
one of the worst peacetime dis
asters in American naval history.
Meanwhile, the 27,100-ton air
craft carrier Wasp, damaged in
the Saturday night collision that
sent the Hobson to the bottom,
steamed slowly homeward. She
carried the minesweeper’s 61 sur
vivors, some of them injured ser
iously.
Traveling between eight and 10
knots, the carrier was expected to
reach Brooklyn Navy Yard for
repairs on Friday or Saturday.
The orginial list of 176 missing
in the tragedy was reduced by
two when two sailors whose
names appeared on it turned up
safe. No casualites were reported
* aboard the Wasp.

Russian Storekeeper At
Archangel Would Let
Customers “Eat Roses’'
MOSCOW, (/P) — Izvestia told
Friday of a trade official in Rus
sia’s frozen north who apparently
wanted to “let them eat roses”—
and plastic blooms at that.
* The Soviet government news
paper published a sharp condem
nation of one Koznev, director Of
the trade organization at Arch
angel, 200 miles below the Arctic
Circle.
Koznev, said Izvestia, had
flooded his stores with “Crimean
roses” made of plastic — over
priced them besides — but had
done nothing about getting fresh
fruits and vegetables from the
south for his customers.
“Koznev might have had some
> bother and annoyance in getting
fresh fruits and vegetables,
whereas the plastic roses will last
forever and for part of this time
will remain unsold also,” Izvestia
commented.

Judge Dresses Down
Akron Police Force With
Lecture on Good Manners
AKRON, O., (JP)—No*t long ago
a traffic cop bawled out a woman
motorist and ordered her to “get
going, lady, get going!”
Friday the woman’s husband,
Common Pleas Judge Walter B.
Wannamaker, finished up a two
day lecture on manners for ev
ery member of the police force.
The judge, indicating that the
younger policemen were the sas
siest, dressed down the first bunch
face to face with these words:
“You fellows are overawed by
your own importance. You are so
tough that you go* around making
faces at yourselves. You are not
liked.”
He told them to wipe the scowls
from their faces and go out and
win friends . . . “Every time you
have contact with a citizen you
either make a friend or an enemy;
and if you have good sense, you
will start making friends.”
“The department is not what it
used to be,” said the judge. “It’s
your problem, but it’s not beyond
repair.”
Police Chief Thomas F. Lynett
invited Judge Wannamaker to ad
dress the force after the latter
protested about the actions of
younger men in the department.
The chief had no comment after
listening to the judge’s remarks.

Marine Cooks, Stewards
Threaten Strike May 5
SEATTLE, (JP) — The Marine
Cooks and Stewards Union (AFL)
served notice Mpnday they will
strike May 5 unless employers
stop exclusive hiring of members
of the rival independent union.
Don Rotan, port agent for the
AFL group, said picketing of
coastal ships would begin next
Monday if the Pacific Maritime
Association, the employer group,
does not go along with union de
mands.
The National Labor Relations
Board ruled last month that em
ployers must cease exclusive hir
ing of members of the Marine
Cooks and Sewards Union (Ind).
The independent union agreed
to go along with the ruling if an
immediate jurisdictional election
could be held.
However, Rotan said Monday
the AFL cooks and • stewards
would not agree to an election
“until all discrimation ceases.’’
