BOSTON, Nov. l2 —-iAP) -—A llo-fooi. fishing vessel foundered tonight off the Massachusetts coast during a storm that reached hurricane, proportions in ‘gusts and caused heavy damage ashore.

The 157111511 crew of the New Bedford fisherman Uncle John abandoned ship in doriea as she broke up and rowed through gale- whipped seas to the 110-foot traw- t ler California, which rolled help- lessly nearby, her propeller gone.

The Coast Guard cutter Horn- beam towed the California with both crews aboard, into New Bed- ford.

The storm, demolished cottages along the New England coastline. toppled chimneys and, church sleeples, and disrupted public util- lties. Pounding surf inundated en- tire communities.

The Weather Bureau measured the wind at the peak of the storm at 78 miles an hour - three miles above the mlmimum hurricane velocity _-in northwest gusts on Block Island, R1.

Rainfall was measured up to more than 3 1-2 inches at New Haven. Conn, and snow up to 10 inches in Northern New Hamp- shire. The lashing, gale-drives v rain turned to pelting, soggy snow

Ganada And ii. S. Protest‘ The Action

(By Ross Munro)

LAKE SUCCESS. Nov. iii-(CP) —A toned-down resolution aimed against the Franco regime in Spain was approved by a vote: of 29 to 6 in the United Nations Po- litical Committee toda with Canada, the United States and 18 other countries abstaining from voting in an indirect protest against this action.

In this resolution the committee reaffirmed a decision by the Gen- cral Assembly of last Dec. l2, which called on U. N. members to withdraw their diplomats from Madrid and requested the Secur- ity Council to act if_a democratic regime were not installed in Spain in a “reasonable time."

Earlier, Poland's Oscar Lange withdrew his resolution urging the Security Council to- consider the Spanish situation "within one month" and to impose economic sanctions against Spain in an ef- fort to oust Generalisslmc Franco.

He said he agreed to drop it for

the sake of unity, but even the watered-down resolution fell far short of the unanimous vote its supporters desired.

Other U. N. developments:

1. Discussion of the new plan

for the proposed Palestine parti- hon bogged down when the an- ticipated British declaration on the proposal was again delayed.

2. India suddenly’ withdrew from the contest with Ukraine for the last non-permanent seat in the

Five Jews Killed In British ilaid

JERUSALEM, Nov. l2—-fAPl—- British troops and police today killed five young Jews, three of them girls in a raid on what of- ficials said was a school operated by the Jewish underground to trails Ween-tigers of both sexes in the use of "s. variety of weapons."

The raid, carried out by a force

of 1.000 to 1,500-British troop! with armored cars seeking hidden firearms in the rich orange grove region on the Palestine coastal plain, occurred at shunath Mac- cabi, 10 miles north of Te1 Aviv. Two of the dead girls were de- scribed as 16 years old. The other was reported to be l8. At approximately the same time. in Haifa, three Jewish gunmen entered an upstairs transport of- fice, threatened workers and, fir- mg a machine-gun front a. window killed a British police sergeant and wounded three other officers who were drinking coffee in a. cafe across the street. The killers cov- ered their flight with a flash bomb.

France should immediately con. clude arrangements with other power "who fecl themselves men. nced" to provide for the common defence and "where each will bring what he can for the common safe- ty."

France must work “in conjunc- t1on"vw1th the United States on a basis of one power with another. The United States could furnish economic aid and fiance her "goo. graphical position and moral in. fluence in Europe."

Treaties with the United States and Britain must be concluded immediately, but should be arriv- ed at “as equals."

A system of alliances was one of the aims of his anti-Communist Rassemblement Du Pcuplo Fran- cais Party, which he described as "an clement qi force which echoes the instincts of the French peo. pie, who fcel themselves menaced at home and abroad."

MON'CTON, Nov. 13 - The first vuflvlld of sugar beets ever to co produced in tho lcavcl" St, Latvronco River district has Just been ship. ped from St. Anaciet Station, Rim- ouski, according to J.E.

A special demonstration has been arranged to show the farm- ers the proper methods of apply- ing and using the fertilizer.

There ls comparatively little ex. pensc in handling sugar beets. says Mr. illz-lntyrc. As they are shipped in bulk, no grading is ne. cessary. They are-loaded lnio open lop cars and there is little danger i of damage by frost.

The correspondent, J.R. Pech- eral, asserted that his sources rs- garded the story, which appeared in the Communist evening Lin- translgeant, as "something pract. lcally certain." '_

Their attitude, Pecheral said. contrasted sharply with “the skep. tlciam of scientific circles in Great Britain" with which, he declared. the military sources were obliged to associate themselves publicly. L‘Aurorc, a pro-Do Gaullc organ. published srilclg last July insist-

He said this information had been established by investigations undertaken 1n Germany to deter. mine the destination of German scientists departing for Russia. ‘Pccheral said information col. ‘lccicd in Germany showed that the Atomgrad fnciories were employ- ing uranium ore mined in Czecho- slovakia and Saxony.

He identified the supreme dir- ector and “ruling master" at At. omgrad as a .\fa_l._Gen. Volkov.

Pccheral reported that another centre of research in unconven- tional armaments was operating in the Caucasus, where he asserted the Russians were investigating the possible military uses of.cos- mic rays which could "relegate the atom bomb tn the rank of out- moded projccilles."

Still a third centre. which he did not locate, was doing work on ruriimguidcd missiles. ,

The editorial offices of L’In. trsnslgeant, mcanvvhilc, acknow- ledged an "obvious error" in its dispatch locating the reported Sov- iet atom bomb test as being near the Amur River in the vlcinitv of Irkutsk, since thcy arc in differ- ent regionp.
