Hospital Ship
(Continued from Pagi One)
during the night.
1« .. . '
As the fog lifted this morning
the 522-foot hospital ship could be
seen lying flat on its .side, the
life boat davits exposed and the
giant red crosses shining on the
white hull. ,
Capt. T. R. Wirth, chief of staff
of the 12th naval district, said the
Benevolence keeled over within
15 minutes after the collision.
The Benevolence, until recent
ly laid up with the reserve fleet
at Mare Island navy yard, had
been pulled out for duty in the
Korean War zone. She was on her,
last shakedown cruise preparatory
to Entering on duty.
She was just off the Gate,
heading in for her Mare Island
dock, when the Mary Luckenbach
loomed up precipitously out of the
thick fog.
Survivors said the Sfehevolfehce
swung sharply to port (left) and
the freighter rammed iilto her
starbord side, ripping open her
plates and causing her to sink
rapidly. The hospital ship cap-|
sized and-went down in 75 feet of
water, managing to send out one
call for assistance just before sink
ing.
The coast guard sent out 15 cut
ters, the army dispatched half a
dozen tug6 and fishing craft con
verged from all over the area,
pulling survivors from the debris
littered sea so quickly that the
edath list was seld far below what
might have been expected in those
Three New Dealers
Were Communists
WASHINGTON, (JP) —Attorney
Lee Pressman testified today that
John Abt, Nathan Witt ahd Chas.
Kramer weer fellow communists
with him When all were NeW Deal
employees itl the early 3t)’s.
The 44-year-oid attorney, for
mer lawyer in the federal agen
cies and later general conael for
the CIO, denied that Alger Hill
was a member of the communist
cell while Pressman was in it.
Pressman gave the names to the
House Un-American activit i e s
committee although he said it was
offensive for him to have to do so.
He testified he gave up his own
communist connection after one
year.
Like Pressman* Abt was a law
yer in the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration who later
held other government jobs and
then became active in Henry Wal
lace's Third Party campaign in
1948.
Witt also worked for the AAA
and later became an official of the
National Labor Relations Board.
The names of Abt, Witt and
Kramer went into the record after
Rep. Nixon (R.-Calif.) said he
though Pressman should be re
quired to identify them.
Pressman was called for a re
peat appearance before the Un
American Activities Committee
with the hope of filling in “miss
ing links” in the Hiss-Chambers
case.
