Irish Navy Arrests Soviet
Trawler for Illegal Fishing
WATERFORD, Ireland —
The Irish Navy arrested the Soviet
trawler Paltus Tuesday on a charge
of illegally fishing inside Ireland’s
three-mile limit.
The Paltus was intercepted and
taken into custody by the Corvette
Maeve near Hook Head.
Authorities said her skipper
would be formally charged later.
Meanwhile, the trawler was tied up
at a Waterford wharf and placed
under police guard.
T e Paltus, a 300-tonner with a
crew of 25, is the first Communist
trawler ever arrested by Ireland.
About 100 Soviet fishing boats
have been trawling for herring off
the Irish coast in recent weeks.
There have been several clashes
in the English Channel this year
between Soviet trawlers and Brit
ish fishing vessels. British skippers
have complained t eir nets and
other gear have been swept away
in careless maneuvering by the
Communist visitors.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. UP) — The
wedding party was in place — the
bride and groom, a bridesmaid and
the best man.
As Judge Allan Cornelius in
toned the marriage rites Saturday,
the groom suddenly said :“Let me
have that back. I think I’ve
changed my mind.”
The stunned judge handed over
the marriage license. The groom
strode out, followed, in order, by
the frowning bride, the frowning
bridesmaid, the puzzled judge and
the best man.
The judge said he knew only
that the groom was a soldier from
Ft. Campbell, Ky., who lived some
where in New York state.
