Captain Joao Matias and his officers were in the cabin above the engine-room wren the explo- sion occurred. They lost all their belongings in the fire that fol- lowed the explosion.

Forty-four members of the crew were fishing in dories as far as two miles from.the ship. They raced back and were able to res- cue their gear from the forward section before fire reached it.

SIGIITED BY PLANES

Captain Matias told his story through an interpreter:

"A short circuit in the engine room ya iuced a tremendous ex- plosion in the rear of the boat below the cltin oi the J I and officers. All the dorie-s were out fishing."

"Fishermen two miles away heard. the tremendous explosion and returned to the ship. By that time the-fire in the engine room had contacted the fuel tanks and when the American lanes came over there was blac smoke 700 feet high."

"The planes were from Argen- tie is U.S. naval base on the south coast. The captain said there was no time to send a radio signal-the planes Just happened tobein the area).

U.S. Cheered Russia Is A Cool To Egyptian Project

WASHINGTON (AP)-State tie partment officials were greatly cheered Sunday by evidence that Moscow may be as reluctant as Washington and London to help Egypt build the Aswan Darn.

If so. this means Secretary of State Dulles has a fair chance to win his gamble that Russia would not necessarily move in and take over after last week's withdrawal of a western offer on the Nile River project.

it would also mean that Egyp- tian President Nasser is caught In an international political squeeze from which he may have great difficulty escaping without serious damage to his prestige as an Arab loader and a growing power in the Middle East.

"It sure is good to see land again," said Struble as the hand- cuffs were removed from his wrists.

Stuble churned his finned feet through the final mile in a heavy downpour.

Small pleasure craft sounded their klaxons and sirens as he neared his goal.

"Hey!" Struble shouted as he took a. shower in a bath house. "how about a dozen hamburgers or cheeseburgers."

Grand River Man Drowned In Accident At Mill River

A drowning accident at Mill River yesterday afternoon claimed the life of James Peter Curley, 25. of Grand River.

The accident occurred as the young man and several boys were sitting in an anchored row boat. which was swinging in and out; from the shore. At the time Mr. Curley entered the host it was in comparatively shallow water and could be reached by wading with- out difficulty but on attempting to return to shore the accident victim apparently let go of the boat on the outer part of its swing in water over thirty feet deep.

A number of people in the vi- cinityiattempled to be of assist- ance but about fifteen minutes elapsed before the body was re- covered by David Broderick of Alberton. who was not at the scene when the young man dis- appeared.

Artificlal respiration was car- ried out for almost an hour by two members of the Alberton Detachment R.C.M. Police. Con- stables C. Bungay and D. Ogllvie.

The state department received reports after Shepiiov visited Nas- ser in Cairo a month ago that he had told Nasser Russia would pre- fer to assist Egypt by means other than building the big dam.

though Western help is with- drawn

Shepilov's comment was not ac- cepted here as final. But it was interpreted as evidence that Rus- sin would prefer not to become in- volved in the undertaking.

Whether this Russian attitude will hold up if Nasser pleads with Moscow for assistance no one would predict. The state depart- ment is convinced that penetra- tion of the Middle East is a ma- jor aim of present Soviet foreign policy and that the Soviet gov- ernment will exploit the Aswan incident in every possible way.

CHANGED POSITION

Western withdrawal from the Nile River project, a pet plan of Nasser's. converted the E tlan leader's position in an stant from that of a shrewd dlplomntic bargainer, playing Russia and the United States against each other, into that of a man who sees one of his most cherished and well ad- vertiscd dreams suddenly threat- ened with evaporation.

it appeared here that his only recourse would be to turn to Mes- eow and seek help which. I1 worked out. would carry the great- ut possible risk of giving soviet eommunisrn a new and V foothold in the Middle East.

The brunt of the mythical al- tack was borne by Quebec and Ontario. Gen. Hutton said Ontario was heaviest hit, and added that he; believes the existing CD or- ganization in Ontario was "more geared to take it."

Five Ontario centres. including Toronto and Ottawa. were blasted on paper by bombs. Montreal and Quebec also were make - believe targets. Two loaded bombs were found at London, Ont., and in the Port Arthur-Fort Wiilim area.

Poland P

WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland Sunday paraded her military might before Russian Premier Nikolai Bulganan, who flew here Saturday to aim diarp criticism at restive elements in the Com- munist world.

Lines of leg-swinging soldiers. and sailors and masses of trucks and artillery passed before the Soviet while jet planes with swsptback delta wings screamed overhead. T

Thousands of persons crowded into Warsaw's central Stalin Square to watch the parade. which lasted an hour and a half and included a youth parade of boy and girl athletes.

The parade was an impressive demonstration of military strength for a country of only 27,000,000 persons. But foreign observers saw in its size and costliness one of the reasons why Poland's stan- dard of living is low and why the country is meeting nomic dif-

ficulties in both industry and agriculture. WILL CUT FORCES

Poland announced in Septem- her. 1055. that she would reduce her forces by 47,000 men within three months.

The parade marked Poland's National Liberation Day, the oc- caslon for which Bulganin was said to have made his unexpected visit Saturday.

Short-lyg PIUC his arrival by air. the-Sovi leader lashed out at "opportunists and wavering el- unents" in Communist countries who made hostile statements to the press. He included the press of Poland in his criticism.

Bulganin charged that the Com- munist leadershlpls attempt to stamp out the "cult of the individ- ual" promoted by Stalin was being exploited by persons who wanted to break up the solidarity of Communist countries under the pertext of national differences.

Bulganin's visit follows by only three weeks the "We want bread” roits at Poznan. in which 53 per- sons were killed and about 270 injured.
