U.S. Commerce Department Okays Russian Wheat Sales

WASHINGTON (AP) — The commerce department Thurs- day authorized the sale of $40.-

The department said there were two proposed sales. each involving $20.320.000 worth of wheat.

No other information about b

the proposed shipments was re- vea .

The shipments would be the first from the United States to the Soviet Union under a pd.- icy. announced a few months ago, of permitting such sales. There have been shlpme is of wheat to Soviet satellite coun- tries.

British labor Party Demands Probe Oi Fire On Cruise liner

LONDON tCPl Britain's opposition Labor party has de- manded a government investi- gation into the burning of the Greek cruise liner Lakonia.

The request was made Thurs- day as 300 survivors of the dis- aster steamed toward Britain on the liner Arkadia.

The official death toll among the crew and the pre-dominantly British passenger list stood at 96 Thursday.

A spokesman for the Greek Line. owner of the fireswept liner. issued new figures for the Sunday night tragedy: Dead 96; missing. 31; survivors. 901. He

said it now has been deter- mined there were 1.028 aboard the ship.

(in Funchal, Madeira. a num- r of passengers refused to board the Arkadia because they did not wish to sail on a ship owned by the same company as the Lakonia.

(Some of the survivors have alleged a better-trained crew could have handled the fire that ravaged the 20,000-ton cruiser. They also charge that some of the crew left the passengers to

save themselves as best ‘they could. URGE PROBE

Labor party called for an investigation into the disaster in view of the grave ‘allegations about the accident."

Labor foreign affairs spokes- man Patrick Gordon - Walker backed up the call for a full public inquiry by noting that, while the ship was owned by the Greek Line, almost all its pas- sengers were British and “the cruise was organized by agents operating in this country."

"We must do our utmost to prevent any repetition of such a tragedy." Gordon - Walker commented.

Alexander Webster. 41. one of a group of survivors who ar- rived in London from Casa- blanca. Morocco. said that alter the fire broke out “some of the crew got excited when the life- boats jammed."

He said the lifeboat on which his two daughters. aged 10 and 13. left the Lakonla "was half full of crew before the women and children got into it."

"I saw one lifeboat only half

t'ull—jusf of crew members." he added. "They went off." CREW ‘WONDERFUL’

He also said. however. tha while some crew panicked. others behaved “wonderfully."

But in Casablanca. one Ger- man survivor commented: “There was no panic aboard and all that has appeared in the papers is false. Only certain elderly passengers were handi- capped.

“The cr w has no responsi- bility in the catastrophe." an- other s u r v i v or commented. “They all did their utmost and I owe my life to two of them."
