.|day. Four crew members of the ‘| Valchem died in the collision

NEW YORK (AP)—The tanker Valchem’s skipper claimed Fri- day he was hove to in thick fog when his ship was rammed by the luxury liner Santa Rosa. Both vessels were using radar and he said both were sounding fog sig- nals.

Capt. Louis L. Murphy, 33, told teporters when the smashed tanker reached here under tow:

“The Santa Rosa kept coming

end hit us on the port (left) side near the stern at high speed. We were stopped in the water when she hit.” His statement was in direct contradiction to the prior report by the Satta Rosa’s owners that the Valchem crossed in front of the liner in perfect weather. On the contrary, Murphy contended, it was the liner that changed course improperly.

SEE STORMY. HEARING

The disagreement fore- shadowed a stormy hearing when the US. Coast Guard opens an inquiry into the crash next Mon-

mind the 1956 sea collision be tween the Italian liner Andrea Doria and the Swedish liner Stockholm, The Doria went to the bottom with a loss of 50 lives.

In that crash one skipper in- sisted there was fog, the other said there wasn't. Each one blamed the other for making an improper turn just before they crashed. The dispute never was resolved.

TOWED INTO PORT

The 10,000 - ton Vaichem, her power knocked out, her stern cut almost in two and her funnel missing, was towed into a Brook- lyn pier during the day. Eighteen of her crew still ‘were aboard. Sixteen others, injured in the crash, were transferred to the Santa Rosa at sea and landed with her Thursday night.

There were no injuries to the 247 passengers and 265 crew of the liner, returning after a 12 day Caribbean cruise.

The Santa Rosa's bow' was crushed, above the water line by

the impact of the collision. The Valchem’s funnel was wedged up- right on the tip\ of the liner’s
