Truman's Ship Rides
Swells of Hurricane
1,300 Miles Away
By Joseph A. Fox
Star Staff Correiporid*nt
ABOARD THE U. S. S. MIS
SOURI, Sept 13.—Riding long swells
generated by the hurricane sweep
ing the West Indies, this homeward
bound warship, carrying President
Truman from Brazil, cruised under
leaden skies today far from the
track of the storm.
The Missouri was 1.300 miles from
the center of the hurricane and at
no time will come closer than 700
miles from it, navigational officers
estimated.
At- 3 p.m. the ship was 520 miles
Northeast of Dutch Guiana. Comdr.
Frederick G. Robinson, aerological
officer, estimated that the storm will
be felt most about 300 or 400 miles
Southeast of Norfolk, Va., where
the Missouri is bound.
Ship Far Ahead of Schedule.
The ship passed the half-way
mark home today. She has logged
about 2.500 miles since leaving Rio
Sunday. The ship is far ahead of
its schedule and its course could be
changed if w’eather conditions war
ranted it.
President Truman, “wearing a tan
ensemble of tropical worsted suit,
a khaki shirt and a buff colored
hat with tan and w'hite shoes, took
part in the regular Saturday inspec
tion with Capt. Robert Lee Denni
son. He traveled all over the ship
from bridge to engine room and
lunched in the petty officers mess.
Marines with their rifles at port
arms. W'ith bolts open, were sur
prised when the President, a former
artillery officer, grabbed the weapons
from their hands and peered down
the barrels.
Talks with III Seaman.
The President talked about Missis
sippi senators in a visit to the sick
bay with Charles A. Scott, 27-year
old merchant seaman, who was
brought aboard from the freighter
Del Sol several days ago. Scott, who
W'as stricken with blood poisoning
is from Ergemont, Miss.
Scott said the President asked
him if he knew the late Pat Harri
son and was told he did. He also
knew the late Senator Bilbo, Scott
told the President and added that
he thought Senator Bilbo W’as a
“great guy."
The ship's doctor said the Presi
dent agreed adding that Senator
Bilbo was a personal friend w'hen
they were in the Senate.
Carol Believed Likely
To Bring Bride to U. 3.
By the Associated Press
RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept. 13.—
Acquaintances of former King Carol
of Romania speculated today that
he might be planning to take his
ailing bride, the former Mme.
Elena (Magda) Lupescu. to the
United States for medical treat
ment,
Carol's plans have been a closely
guarded secret since the Rio de
Janeiro marriage court two days
ago legalized his “in extremis” mar
riage to the woman for whom he
left his throne.
Unusual measures have been
taken to guaid the privacy of the
couple’s expensive suite in the Ho
tel Copacabana Palace.
Carol's attorneys told the mar
riage court the couple planned to
leave Brazil immediately, and the
couple began packing yesterday.
Later, Carol rode away from the
hotel in a car bearing a license tag
belonging to the United States Em
bassy. The United States consulate
flenied any knowledge of their plans.
Carol married Mme. Lupescu two
months ago when she was desper
ntplv ill nf sprnnrlarv nnpmia T.p
gality of the ceremony was upheld
on the former king's presentation
of documents testifying to the val
idity of his Romanian divorce from
Queen Helen in 1928.
One source here suggested that
Carol's action to have his marriage
legalized might have been based
on the hope that it would aid the
couple’s chances of entering the
United States. The couple unsuc
cessfully sought entry from Cuba
after their flight from Romania in
1940.

Babe in Arms Killed,
20 Injured as Bus
And Truck Collide
Ry th« Associated Press
FLINT, Mich., Sept. 13.—A babe
in arms was killed and more than
a score of persons were injured in a
collision today between a loaded
Greyhound bus and a steel-carrying
truck-trailer.
Seven-month-old Richard Nagel,
jr.. son of a couple from Haze} Park.
Mich., died tonight in Hurley Hos
pital here of a skull fracture less
than two hours after the crash.
The bus and truck, which was
carrying steel wheels, collided about
a mile north of the city limits on
uusy i^ixie ingnway in iush-iiuui
traffic shortly after 4 p.m.
The Impact smashed the front, of
the bus and stove in one side. The
truck-trailer jack-knifed, crashed
against the side of the bus and over
turned, State police said.
One of the victims was Howard
L. Wright, 38, of Akron, Ohio, driver
of the truck-trailer. He suffered
head injuries and physicians report
ed his condition critical.
State Police said the collision ap
parently followed efforts of both the
bus and truck-trailer to avoid strik
ing another automobile in a sud
den tangle of traffic.
Sergt. Vincent Nearing said the
alertness of Mr. Wright and the
bus driver, Edward J. Klenke, 35,
Saginaw, prevented more serious
consequences. Mr. Klenke suffered
head injuries and possible arm and
leg fractures.
The baby’s father, 21, suffered
bruises, and the mother. Myrtle, 20,
an arm injury. The child’s grand
mother, Mrs. Gladys Nagel, 43, De
troit, escaped with a shoulder in
jury. _
