"Nighmare”
Tow for Two
Fishing Boats
Dragged Helplessly by
Underwater Object Which
Could Not Be Seen
PORTLAND, Me., Sept. 12——
Crewmen of two Portland fishing
draggers have returned from a
mysterious ocean tow ride which,
they said, scared them almost to
death off Brier Island, N.S.
Skippers of the 110 foot Cherokee
and the 86-foot Evzone told a
strange story of how their vessels
were towed helplessly last Wednes
day night by an underwater object
they could not see.
Was it a submarine? ProbabTy.
say skippers Arthur W. and Thomas
Jordan. They told a newsman it
might have been a Russian sub but
added that their surmise was based
only on their understanding that
no American subs were in the area
and that Canada has none.
Could it have been a whale? No
the skippers say, because whales
cannot stay submerged for such
long periods.
The tow rides followed each
other. The Evzone was towed an
hour and a half, the Cherokee
about 25 minutes. Both craft had
their sterns dragged beneath the
water by a terrific haul. They were
freed when their cables snapped
from whatever was tugging them
“It was a nightmare,” said tne
skippers.

SENATE FAILS
TO STIFFEN
ANTI-RED BILL
Bats Down Three Propos
als to Grant Govt. Con
centration Camp Powers
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12——
The Senate today batted down
three consecutive proposals to give
the government power to throw
Communists into concentration
camps in time of war, insurrection
or invasion.
One vote—which beat down a
move to add a tough concentration
camp provision to the McCarran
! Anti-subversives bill—may be re
considered later in the day.
A motion for reconsideration was
' filed by Senator Tydings (D-Md),
who did not vote on the amend
ment. The amendment was offered
by 9enate Democratic Leader
I Lucas of Illinois and was rejected
37 to 35. He previously had lost on
: a 45 to 29 vote a move to substitute
! an internment camp provision for
the Communist registration plan of
the McCarran bill.
The third setback for adminis
tration forces seeking to change the
McCarran measure came when a
50 to 23 roll call vote scuttled a
Red internment substitute offered
by Senator Kilgore (D-WVa) for
the bill sponsored by Chairman
McCarran of the Senate Judiciary
Committee.
President Truman has announced
he will not sign the McCarran bill
in its present form.
Lucas told the Senate that if it
wanted a ‘real security" bill it
would take his amendments.
Senator Ferguson (R-Mlch»
shouted that the concentration
camp idea was "unconstitutional.
unAmerlcan and the first blueprint
for dictatorship.”
