LULING, La. (AP) - A 664-1

and sank a crowded ferryboat
in the Mississippi River here;
yesterday, plunging carloads ofI
screaming passengers into theI
swift muddy current. Twenty-I
two were known dead and as,
many as 56 were missing.
Sheriff John St. Amant said
22 bodies were recovered, most
of them from the sunken ferry
by divers. The death toll was
expected to rise to 75 or more.
"I understand there were Q6
people aboard the ferry," St.
Amant said. "We know of 18
survivors."
Diving operations for some 35
vehicles thrown into the river
after the midstream collision
were postponed until Thursday
when electronic equipment could
be brought in to help locate'
them on the river bottom.

talism to turn this depression
arov'nd." Signorelli said the U.S.
is on the verge of a "devastat-
ing economic collapse" and is
already going through a broad-
er deterioration of social serv-
ices because of economic ills.
He cited a recent cut in New
York social services which
took away money for the in-
spection of incoming ships for
poisoned rats - at a time when
bubonic plague has been report-
ed in South America and other
parts of the world.
Though a leftist group, the
Labor Party's opposition to
Democrats is even more fiery
than to Republicans.
"(The Republicans') threat is
simply their incompetence," he
said. "We see the Democratic
party as being much more
dangerous . . . This stuff with
zero-growth and counter cul-
ture has really messed up" the
socialist movement. r
Signorelli took pains to em-
phasive that the Labor Party re-
jects many of the leftist move-
ments of the Sixties as "syn-
thetic radicalism". The party,
he said, is devoted to a kind of
massive industrial progress
which would protect the en-
vironment and develop present
resources to a greater extent
than capitalist nations.

Nixon's campaign slogan in
1972, and he didn't repeat it.
Ford said Gen. Brown had
made imprudent and ill-advised
statements. The most recent
controversy over Brown stems
from his statement that Israel
is a military burden to the Unit-
ed States. But Ford said Brown
has been a fine chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff. He said
he hopes and trusts that Brown
won't speak imprudently again.
