Good News For Bad Sailors

SOUTHAMPTON. Engand (CP) The world's largest liner put in to port here Sunday with good news for bad sailors.

The 08.000-ton Queen Elizabeth had been at sea for 24 hours in search of severe weather to test her four new stabilizers--the most powerful of their kind.

But the captain was unlucky. There were only moderate seas running in the English channel. and these had hardly any effect on the huge liner.

So she was force-rolled. Then the stabilizers were put to work. and the ship was righted immediately.

A crew member said: "One min- ute the ship was rolling and the next she was suddenly still. The stabilizers certpinly made a. differ. mete)-:la'g ' s .
