Tanker search suspended
PHILADELPHIA (API The U.S.
Coast Guard suspended its search last
night for 11 persons missing in the wake
of fiery explosions that tore through a
docked Greek oil tanker here.
One crewman is known dead and 25
others were injured in the Tuesday night
fire
A Coast Guard spokesman said it
would be impossible to search the area
around the still smoldering ship until
Saturday. He indicated that hope has all
but ended that the seven crew members,
a woman and her three children would
be found alive.
"It's a pretty small area to search,”
the spokesman said, “and we haven’t
turned up anything."
The explosions, which ripped paneling
off a wall in a New Jersey police station
four miles away, split the 650-foot tanker
Elias in half.
The bow and stern settled separately
on the bottom of the Delaware River.
The Elias was unloading asphaltic

spokesman said the ship began
unloading 216.000 barrels of the crude on
Monday, and was due to complete the
task at midnight Tuesday. The first blast
occurred at 9:50 p.m. Tuesday.
The spokesman said the oil, used
primarily to manufacture asphalt, was
not as dangerous as some lighter oils.
‘ It will burn,” he said. “I guess, given
certain conditions, it could explode.”

SANDUSKY, Mich. (AP) President Nixon took th
burdens of Watergate to the campaign trail for the firs,
time yesterday and got a generally friendly reception
from a heavily Republican farm:area.
But even here, Nixon was greeted by demonstrators
who apparently prompted him to address a crowd of
several thousand through the open roof of his bullet
proof limousine. A special platform had been prepared
for hini.
The tour was made for James Sparling, a Republican
congressional candidate who invited Nixon, but who
said hei would not hesitate to vote for impeachment if
the facts warranted.
Republican leaders said afterward they believed it
had helped Sparling, but local Democrats claimed the
visit cquld bring home Watergate to local voters and
help elect a Democrat to Congress for the first time in
40 yeajs.
Everywhere Nixon went during the 57-mile motor
cade tljiat rambled through Michigan’s “Thumb,” he
was greeted by cheering crowds that outnumbered and
outshoeted protesters calling for his impeachment.
When the President spoke, it was on issues with
appeal to the area.
At the Tri-City Airport between Saginaw and Bay
City, he told an estimated 5,000 persons that the

Philadelphia Tuesday to visit the cap

from since.
The police commissioner also listed as
missing six crewmen: Nikolaos An
doniou, Huyseyin Aksu, Warra Elhadidi,
Enver Mehin Et, Konstantinos Sper
siotis and Antonios Zabelis.
The Coast Guard earlier had put the
number missing at eight.
■ The body of the dead crewman was
found floating in the river. He was
identified as Ghebrebedhn Desta, 19, of
Ethiopia.
The Elias burned out of control for
about two hours, its cargo of flaming oil
spilling onto the river.
Atlantic Richfield said 202,700 of the
216,000 barrels had been unloaded when
the first explosion occurred, leaving
13.000 barrels unaccounted for.
However, the Coast Guard estimated
that more than 98 per cent of the missing
oil was consumed by fire.
There were conflicting reports as to
pinnacle in this courtroom.”
Charles F. Moses, Boyle’s chief
defense counsel, attacked the credibility
of the prosecution’s principal witness
and said the state had failed "to prove
beyond a reasonable doubt" that his
client was guilty.
In his closing summation, Moses hit
hard at William Turnblazer, a lawyer
and former president of the Union’s
District 19 in Middlesboro, Ky.
Turnblazer, 52, the key prosecution
witness, was the only man to link Boyle
directly to the killing.
“Turnblazer is not a responsible
witness who can be believed,” Moses
said. “It is: important that you know

Gerard B. Ewing, noted international
authority on lighting and color theory.
Ewing lectured on “The Art of
Lighting” to an audience of about 200
last night in Schwab.
“Our visual system was developed to
see an object in space,” Ewing said.
“There is nothing real about this; it is a
configuration of the mind.
“The reality we work with in design is
visual reality, not physical reality,” he
explained.
It is important that the designer see
this difference. Although he is working
with form, light and color, he must look
beyond objects to see their visual effect

who owned the ship. The Coast Guard
said the 20,000-ton vessel was owned by
Sifnonav Shipping Co. of Greece. A
spokesman for Charles Kruz, the
tanker’s Philadelphia-based shipping
agent, listed the owner as Eletson
Maritime Corp., also of Greece.
“Everything happened very quick,”
said Joannis Soteris, a 25-year-old Greek
crewmen who was in the engine room
when the ship blew up. “I grabbed a rope
and got out like a monkey.”
Telephone operators in Trenton, N.J.,
36 miles away, reported they thought
there had been an explosion in that city:
In New Castle, Del., some 35 miles away,
residents reported their houses shook
from the percussion.
Soteris said the first thing he wanted to
do was call his wife and tell her he lost
his wedding ring in the explosion. He
said he wanted to tell her he had lost
dresses and toys he brought for “my
babies” back home.
Democratic-controlled Congress was holding up
programs that might help the area’s sagging auto
industry.
In the countryside, where navy beans and sugar
beets are the principal providers, Nixon promised to
send federal energy chief William E. Simon to try to
alleviate local fertilizer shortages.
And in Saginaw, he reemphasized to a
predominantly white audience his opposition to school
busing and to any interference with local schools.
He greeted Air Force Capt. Robert Abbott of
Deckerville, Mich., and said: “For the first time in 12
years we have peace. For the first time in 25 years not
one young American is being drafted. Every American
is home where he belongs, not in a prison camp in
Hanoi.”
There were demonstrators at every stop, par
ticularly in Sandusky. They waved placards with such
legends as “Impeach the Thief,” “Nixon Coddles
Criminals" and “Jail to the Thief.”
In Saginaw, as Nixon leaned from the top of his white
Buick convertible to shake hands with well-wishers,
protesters behind them began shouting “Pay Your
Taxes.” The car speeded up as it passed the booing
section of the crowd.

in creating an environment, Ewing
explained.
Ewing said it is natural for the
average person to think in terms of
objects, “but artists have to expand
their perception to include color tonality.
“The purpose of architectural design
is to create an environment,” he said.
“Vision is the most powerful element in
doing this.
“Before an architect starts to design,
he must have a mental image of what he
wants to create.”
The architect then realizes this
visualization of color tonality through
the use of controlled lighting, he said.
This is achieved both through the control
of light from its source and its reflection
from surfaces.

Final decision
(iOI.I)A MKIR RESIGNS as Israel's premier. She says her
decision is final.
Meir resigns
Israel's premier
JERUSALEM <AP) Golda Meir
informed her Labor party yesterday she
is resigning again as Israel’s premier
and said this time her decision is final.
“I have reached the end of my road,”
the 75-year-old grandmother told an
assemblage of party leaders in a room in
the Knesset. Israel’s parliament, at
tended also by newsmen.
She added that her decision will bring
down the entire government and that she
was sorry for this.
Mrs. Meir said she would formally
render her resignation today at a
meeting of the Cabinet. Party officials
said this means new elections would
follow, but probably not until August,
and that Mrs. Meir is expected to stay on
in a caretaker capacity until then.
If she does stay on, Mrs. Meir or at
least her foreign minister, Abba Eban,
would be available for conferences with
United States Secretary of State Henry
A. Kissinger who is expected here soon
in another effort to settle the Israeli-
Syrian conflict on the Golan Heights
front.
The resignation comes in the midst of
a dispute in Israel over the fixing of
blame for Israeli unawareness of the
possibility of an Arab attack last Oct. 6.
The attack began what became known
as the Yom Kippur war.
of the environment can be increased
through the dynamic use of light and
color.
“Variations of light in the en
vironment are of the utmost im
portance,” Ewing said. “The static
atmosphere we get in most architecture
gives a feeling of depression.”
Instead, an environment rich in color,
form and variations in lighting direction
and intensity is more cheerful to live in.
Ewing explained that our environment
can do a lot to enhance human emotions.
To emphasize the great variety that
can be obtained Ewing presented a short
film of a small river. Shot from many
angles the river was seen under different
lighting conditions in many different
forms.
In another demonstration of the ef
fects of a variety of lighting on objects, a
large white cube was slowly illuminated^
Mrs. Meir resigned March 3 in a
dispute over the same issue but agreed
to come back to her job At that time she
had been ill with the shingles, a nerve
disorder.
She told her party comrades yester
day. “Don’t try to change my mind."
Mrs. Meir's present coalition
government includes a Labor alignment,
which is a merger of various Socialist
groups. It includes Defense Minister
Moshe Dayan, who leads a wing of Mrs.
Meir's Labor party. Others in the
coalition are the National Religious
party, the Independent Liberal party
and a grouping of Arab politicians
representing Arabs who live in Israel.
The resignation left doubt over
Dayan’s future. A war enquiry forced
chief of staff Lt. Gen. David Elazar to
resign and avoided blaming Dayan for
Israel’s unreadiness to fight last Oc
tober.
Labor party leaders said Finance
Minister Pinhas Sapir seemed the most
logical successor.
The resignation becomes formal only
when she announces it to President
Ephraim Katzir. Israel’s ceremonial
head of state, who then could ask any
powerful member of parliament to try to
form a new government within 21 days,
to head off an election battle.
by a series of lights.
“We’re not lighting just the cube, but
the whole space,” Ewing explained.
“This compares to the architectural
lighting of space and people.”
During the second half of the program
a series of dances was performed,
coordinated with music and lighting.
Included were “Mystique,”
choreographed to Rimsky-Korsakov’s
Scheherazade, and six Rumanian
dances, performed to Bartok’s music.
Alternated with the dances were
lighting demonstrations. As the stage
was illuminated by various colors,
Sibelius’ “Valse Triste” and Debussy’s
“La Mer” were played.
Ewing will speak with students 10 a.m.
today in Engineering A. Those in
terested should go to the architectural
engineering department and ask for
directions to the lighting lab.
