Attempts To Float
Reached Freighter
Unsuccessful
PORT ANGELES, Wash. <JP)—
The cracked and partly flooded
Panamanian freighter Andalucia
remained tightly lodged today on
a submerged reef in the Strait of
Juan de Fuca. Early morning sal
vage efforts were unsuccessful.
Seven tugs were unable to free
the big cargo ship on the flood
tide about 1:30 a.M., PST, and
were to try again when the tide
reaches another crest a few min
utes before noon.
For more than 24 hours the
freighter has been teetering pre
cariously on the sharp reef near
the entrance to the strait, 67 miles
west of here.
Salvage experts reported there
was a “50-50 chance” of pulling
the Andalucia off, and keeping
her afloat until she can be towed
to a ship repair yard.
A battery of pumps put aboard
during the night worked steadily
to siphon out water, streaming
into all but the front hold through
cracks and strained seams.
The Andalucia, with a crew of
27 men and one woman, grounded
yesterday as the master attempted
to beach the ship because of a fire
later extinguished.
The woman -and 17 others were
removed Friday night. The cap
tain and eight men remained
aboard.
War W illi Russia
Mav Conic Bv 1932
FORT WORTH, Tex. (A1)—The
nation’s editors Saturday awaited
a report on the Orient after hear
ing a warning that war may come
in the Balkans by 1952.
Seymour Topping, correspond
ent who has been stationed in
China, was to address the 16th an
nual meetting of the Associated
Press managing editor’s associa
tion, closing here Saturday.
Pulitzer prive-winner Larry Al
len, recently stationed at Warsaw,
Poland, told the group Friday:
“If there is to be a war with
Russia, I think it will come by the
end of 1952.”
“I have three reasons for think
ing thi,” he said. “By that time,
Russia will have a supply of atom
ic bombs. Secondly, the Russians
feel that Americans are disunited
during any Presidential election
year.
“Thirdly, the Russians believe
that Marshal-Plan aid will run dry
about that time. They think we
can’t keep on pumping money into
Europe. When our financial aid to
European countries is at an end,
it will be much easier for them to
step in and take over.”

It’s part of every street scene—something
you see every day.
Car owners in three different price classes
—all happy about the same thing.
One of them drives a new Buick Special,
which you see poking forth its new, hold-look
forefront at the left of our picture.
Another will tell you there’s nothing like
the Super’s “happy medium” of size and
comfort, power and easy handling, style and
standing.
And if you’re looking for prestige, where is
your money going to huy so much as in that
handsome 18-footer, the Roadmaster, with
its 150-hp performance and really royal
bearing?
But all these good folks get together on this:
There’s no ride quite so soft and cushiony
as the Buick ride, whatever the size and
series. There’s no power quite so satisfyingly
lively as Buick’s high-compression, high
pressure Fireball power.
Above all, there’s no “buy” like a Buick —
no car that gives you such a rich dollar’s
worth of smartness, handling, comfort and
liveliness for every dollar you pay.
So why not look the whole line over? Your
Buick dealer has these grand travel-mates
in a baker’s dozen of different body types
and sizes. Start your shopping in his show
room—and you’ll find that even on delivery
he has exactly what you want.
