For Seamanship On Bridge.

By LLOYD McDONALD (lanadinn Press Staff Writer NEW YORK ICP)-Is radar-

the nar-born electronic eye that pierces darkness and fog-becom- in; a potential menace instead of a boon to shipping?

Maritime circles here are dis- cussing this question in the wake of last! week's collision between the Stockholm and the Andrea Doria. two modern ships equipped ivith the latest in electronic na- vigational aids.

What actually caused the At- lantic tragedy is still not known pending the coming investigations but the question of radar's part in similar situations is being dis-

v-shere seafarers gather. And the key issue is not the

run by veterans in Quebec. And, fallibility of radar itself. but the the committee said. there is wi.le-l human element involved.

I-Existing prohibitions against bingos and lotteries were being violated frequently by organiza- tions representative of the com- munity in general and motivated by worthy purposes.

An iinsatisfactory by-product of this development was fraudulent lottcries which law - enforcement agencies were unable or unwilling

.to control. The committee had re- lceivcd evidence that professional

operators had conspired to manip- ulate and cheat at bingo games to gain valuable prizes.

The United States coast guard's marine safety bureau, without giv-

there have been more collisions since the war they have occurred during a period of tremendous in- crease in shipping generally. It isknown. however, that some Shipping -firms now are giving close attention to the use of ra- dlilj. Setting up courses to instruct officers in its proper handling. And some experienced officers themselves say there is a need to klflell in mind that radar is only an aid--not a replacement-for Lu. man experience on the bridge. SAFER WITH RADAR A Shit? .64-Iulpped with radar. of course, is immeasurally safer than one without it. but no hard- headed seaman would consider It as Juslifying. for exampte, full speed in zero visibility in a con- gested area. ,, Because of the still - unknown factors surrounding the Doria- Stockholm disaster. no one in a position to do so will allow him- self to be quoted directly on such speculation as applied to the cur- rent case. But past instances such as these have been recalled: Where radar equipment was not being operated. although in pro- per working order: where the of- ficer responsible was not watch-J ing the equipment: where radari

The report urged viliolcsale re- peal of present laivs. This would be done to eliminate ambiguities and inconsistencies preventing proper enforcement.

Mr. Malinney said his club gives away more than 85.000 in one night. The public ivouldn't conic Dtheriiisc.

WOULD PERMIT CONTROL

Implementation of the recom- mended new policy, the report said. ”will result in the effective ptoliibitioii and restriction of sev- eral types of lotteries now car- ried nn in spite of their dubious legality."

Relaxation of existing restric- tions would pcrmit authorities in control lotteries -- something not possible at. present. It would cu- nhle police to clamp down on lot- teries now operating outside the law. I

The committee approved small raffles of goods by non-commcr-l cial bodies provided prizes do not exceed 850. It also proposed no! change in present laws permit-i ting midways at agricultural fairsl but suggested a ceiling of 310.000
