TE ICIGAN -VAILY SATUYRDAY, JULY 19, 1974 J Dead, Missing Estimated at 500 inSinking 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 More Veteran Checks Are Held at Post Office Government checks will be held at the Ann Arbor Post Office un- til Aug; 1 for the following vet- erans: Philip Cavanagh, James B.

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 Has German Scientists WASHINGTON, July 18-U)-- Senator Bridges (R-NH) said to- night that Russia has been able to secure hundreds of German scientists while this country has not secured its share. 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.

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. THE L. G.
