(AP) - A 664-1 foot Norwegian tanker rammed 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.

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.

But that was 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. F TGE i H E tt,Inr!
