Dead, Missing

150 Escape From
CapsizedIndian Ship
BOMBAY, India, July 418-(P)--
An estimated 570 persons were
missing and believed dead today
in the sinking of the 400-ton
coastal vessel Ramdas which cap-
sized in the storm-swetp mouth of
Bombay Harbor Thursday.
158 Survivors ,
Officials of the Indian Cooper-
ative Navigation and Trading
Company, Ltd., which owned the
ill-fated vessel, said there were
about 150 survivors out of 721
passengers and crewmen reported
aboard at the time of the disaster
-one of the worst in Indian ship-
ping history.
They said they still had been
unable to confirm a report that
2 additional survivors had made
their way to Mandva, a small vill-
age near the scene of the sink-
ing. Another unconfirmed re-
port said the body of a white
woman was washed ashore at
Mandva. Three Europeans-a
man, woman and child-were re-
ported among the passengers.
There were indications that the
exact number of dead may never
be known.
Regular Run
The disaster occurred as the
11-year-old steamer neared the
end of her regular 45-minute
run across the marbor from Bom-
bay to Rewas.
Brought to Bombay tonight
Capt. Saikh Suleman gave this
account of the accident:
He said he had slowed the
Ramdas in anticipation of turn-
ing when a heavy swell struck
the ship on the starboard side.
The passengers rushed toward the
port side causing the ship to list.
Another swell struck and the ves-
sel capsized.
Reached Raft
Suleman said he was thrown
out of a bridge porthole and was
able to reach a life raft.
Rescuers found survivors cling-
ing to life preservers, sometimes
several to one preserver, and to
trunks and bits of wreckage. One
person was found on a box. A few
managed to swim in the heavy
sea until rescued. A six-year-old
boy was among those thus saved

ANALYST SPECULATES:
Ge. rBradley's Tour Seen
As Preparation for New Job
By J. M. ROBERTS, JR.
AP Foreign Affairs Analyst
The announcement that Gener-
al Omar Bradley, General Eisen-
hower's heir-apparent as Chief of
Staff, is going on an inspection
tour to Europe and the Mediter-
ranean leads inescapably to spec-
ulation as to how serious the Ad-
ministration considers the mili-
tary situation in that area.
General Bradley has been dis-
cussed so widely as Eisenhower's
successor next year that it has al-
most been accepted as a definite
administration plan. In that
event he would step out of his
role as veterans administrator
which for two years has kept him
more or less isolated from mili-
tary matters. Considering the
world-wide activities which now
must be supervised by the office
of Chiew of Staff, it is only nat-
ural that a man contemplating the
job would need to bring himself
completely up-to-date on actual
operations.
World Scope
The Truman Doctrine envisages
a defense line against totalitarian
communism, world-wide scope,
which must be held militarily as
well as economically and political-
ly.
Already the U.S. has assumed
responsibility for helping to re-
organize and supply two Balkan
armies which run close to a mill-
ion men - 130.000 which the
Greeks plan to increase to 200,000
and something like 700,000 in
Turkey.
U.S. Business
The military needs of the Chi-
nese Nationalists, the American
Republics and Canada, of all the
countries which° may participate
hereafter in the "hold the line"
program, have become the busi-
ness of the U.S. If the Admin-
istration considered this a mat-
ter of immediate urgency the job
of seeing to our fences would, of
course, belong to Eisenhower, who
still has some months to go in
office.
But Bradley is America's top
field general. He has participat-
ed in every form of warfare, from
the deserts and jungles of Tunis-
ia, the great amphibious landings
in Sicily and Normandy, to the
rapid-moving armored warfare of
northern Europe where he com-
manded more men in combat than
any other man in American his-
tory. For the long view, he can
be expected to take an intense in-
terest during his tour in far more
than the 150,000 to 200,000 men
and strictly non-operative air
force which the U.S. now main-
tains in Europe.
Cost Accountants
Elect Prof. Taggart
Prof. Herbert F. Taggart, as-
sistant dean of the business ad-
ministration school, has been
elected a director of the National
Association of Cost Accountants.
Prof. Taggart has been a memn-
ber of the Association since 1931.
He has been active in local and
national programs of the group
Bridges Claims Russia

WASHINGTON, July 18-U)--

Bus Destroyed
By Gas Fire
Near Pontiac
PONTIAC, Mich., July 18-()-
A leaking gasoline line was blam-
ed by state police for a fire that
destroyed a northbound Grey-
hound bus on US-10 today.
Five passengers and the driver,
Kenneth C. Berdos of Dearborn
fled to safety, salvaging all their
baggage.
Burns Cables
The blazing vehicle burned
through two Michigan Bell Tele-
phone Co. long distance cables,
disrupting service for six hours
between Pontiac, Saginaw, Bay
City, Flint, Marquette and Petos-
key before repairs were completed
at 3:10 p.m.
State police at the Keego Har-
bor post said a leaky fuel line ap-
parently cause the fire, which
burned for a time before the driv-
er discovered it and pulled his ve-
hicle to the roadside.
Older Type Vehicle
The bus left Detroit at 7:30 a.m.
enroute to Bay City. Greyhound
headquarters in Detroit described
it as "an older type" vehicle.
The accident happened on the
highway at Walton Boulevard be-
tween Drayton Plains and Water-
ford, about four miles north of
here.
Realistic Book
Learning Cited
Called Most Obvious
Trend in Education
The most noticeable trend in
education today is making "book
learning" realistic to growing
children, according to Dr. Eugene
B. Elliott, state superintendent of
public instruction who spoke yes-
terday at the final general ses-
sion of the Summer Education
Conference.
Dr. Elliott emphasized the im-
portance of teaching children how
to live and work in our social and
economic structure. "Special at-
tention is being given to the
teaching of American citizenship,
health and safety, vocations and
conservation without discarding
the more traditional subjects of
the school curriculum," he said.
Many of these new subjects have
been found to be part of the tra-
ditional school courses but edu-
cators have been concerned with
finding more practical ways of
teaching them, he declared.

ies.
"Last year we didn't send any
people down. Salaries are rather
low. These jobs take someone
with a sense of adventure, the
younger variety who can afford
to put in a few years roaming
around and seeing the world. How-
ever, most of the salaries do bear
a direct relation to the cost of
living," Mrs. Hobart said.
People who have facility in
Portugese, Spanish and French
and can teach English as a for-
eign language may be sent to
South America by the State De-
partment. They are employed in
cultural centers maintained in
cooperation with the Latin Amer-
ican countries and Haiti. Students
vary from kindergarten age to
adults. There is no formal class-
room organization.
