"Political Trick"
Greek Gov't Solves7 Own Murder Of U.S. Newsman
ATHENS (ALN): Greek Minister of Justice George Melas is disturbed over the way the U.S. press has greeted the announcement that CBS correspondent George Polk was murdered by Communists.
"It seems most regrettable that the full finding resulting from five months of the most careful scrutiny of conditions of the murder have not been properly appreciated," Melas said after reading skeptical U.S. editorial comments on the charges.
Critics of the U.S.-backed royalist government here point out that Wagner hydraulic steering and Meias' remarks indicate the Polk

case "solution" was aimed at whipping up anti-Communist sentiment in the U.S. so that the King Paul regime could get more support. The royalists apparently hoped to use it as an excuse to get U.S. or United Nations combat troops for use against the Free Greek forces of General Markos Vafiades.
The case of the royalist government rests on meager, highly doubtful evidence. It claims that newspaperman Gregory Staktopo-lus led Polk to a meeting with three "Communists," Adam Mou-zenides, Evangelos Vasvanas and one "unknown."
Mouzenidis is supposed to have actually killed Polk. Staktopoulos and his mother are given secondary roles with the mother accused only of mailing Polk's identification papers to the police. Salonika authorities have Staktopoulos and his mother in custody. Mouzenidis and Vasvanas are "missing."
A recent Free Greek government radio broadcast pointed out that Mouzenidis could not possibly have murdered Polk because he himself was killed in action on April 5 and his death was announced over the radio on April 7. Polk's body was found floating in Salonika bay on May 16.
This fact apparently was known to Salonika police, who have ^ong tried to get captured guerrilla soldiers to "confess" to the slaying. Knowing that dead men not only do not bite, but also do not speak, it is charged, the royalist govern-

ment picked "murderer."
Mouzenidis as the
Vasvanas, according to the Free Greek radio, has been fighting with guerrilla troops for two years and at present is the political commissar with Macedonian units. The Free Greek government has invited the Newspaper Guild of New York (CIO) and the International Organization of Journalists to send representatives to its territory to investigate their claims.
The Greek government announced that Staktopoulos confessed all the details of the murder. But no journalist has been allowed to visit him, even though he has been in jail since August 15.
After being a member of the Communist party for a short time, Staktopoulos was expelled in 1946 and then became a stringer for Reuters news service and a correspondent for the reactionary paper, Makedonia, which had served the Nazi occupiers during the war.
Staktopoulos has apparently either succumbed to pressure or is willingly acting as a tool of the government. This latter possibility is supported by the police assertion that Staktopoulos "did not know that Polk would be murdered," and that "he did not agree with Polk's execution."
In other words, Staktopoulos' role in the killing can be made very slight and he may be set free entirely as a reward for "confessing" or given a very light sentence. His mother has been specifically charged only with addressing the envelope in which Polk's papers were sent to the police. It is very doubtful that she'll get a long sentence for- this.
The actual timing of the announcement indicates the Greek government is using the case for political purposes and is not interested in tracking down the real murderers of Polk. It came just as Secretary of State George C. Marshall reached Athens, where government leaders are finding it difficult to explain their failure to wipe out the Markos forces.
SHIP SHAPE
^lOW the packers are busy, perhaps it would be a good idea to remind the chaps loading in fresh water, their ship will lift when going into salt water, and vice versa when loading in salt water, their ship will lower when she enters fresh water. I think it is a crime that loadlines are not enforced in smaller ships as they are in deep water vessels. |
Most of our packing fleet are far from being new, there are bound to be many soft spots in them, and fastenings are getting thinner and weaker each year, and with a sloppy load like herring to contend with, a good freeboard should be enforced, not so much as protection for the ship, but more for the protection of the lives aboard of her.
Since the weight of river, or fresh water, is less than that of salt water, the increase in mean draft it found as follows:
Let us suppose W is the weight of the ship in tons, then W x 2240 is the weight in pounds. Taking the weight of river water as 63 pounds per cubic foot, the volume: of displacement is W x 2240 over 63, and in salt water, weighing 64 pounds per cubic foot, the volume of displacement is: Wx2240 over 64. In short, there is a load difference of one pound to every cubic foot, depending upon what kind of water the ship is loaded in.
Stability
Although I have stressed many times about stability, I shall touch upon the subject again, because it does not matter what safety precautions are taken, if the ship itself is not stable, then people are risking their lives in a blow.
Just what does make a good stable fish boat, and what are the things to avoid? First, design must be, right, and here are a few measurements I have worked out during many years. The angle of bottom and height of top sides are very important. In big ship calcu-altions they are different, but in a 40 footer, the angle of bottom or dead rise, should not exceed the angle of 30 degrees. If a deep ship is necessary, and I do not agree it should be, unless she is sailed and not power driven, it should

never exceed an angle of 42 degrees. Thirty degrees is the all-round bottom best suitable for our waters, I firmly believe.
If the reader will take pencil and paper, I can avoid a lot of technical details which I know would not be understood by the average boat man. Draw a line vertical down the paper, then another horizontal to it making a cross. Now make another horizontal line about 3 inches above the one already drawn. From where the lower horizontal line crosses the vertical, draw off a line at the angle of 30 degrees, then from the centre Vertical line measure off 2V4 inches to the left, this is a scale of half inch to the foot, also half the beam of a 40 foot boat to that scale. The first vertical line drawn represents the centre line of the stem post, now we have the angle of bottom perfectly done. Next, go to the mark which represents the beam from the stem post to centre1, and draw a vertical line downward until it crosses the 30 degree angle line.
Now you have the top sides drawn in. Now we come to a very important calculation. The height of top sides to deck top must not exceed five-sixths of the distance from the centre of the stem post to the dot where the dead rise crosses the top side vertical line.
Now you see the half breadth sketch gives a V bottom, and this would never do, so one rounds out the turn of the bilge into a perfect fair line, and you have the most stable bilge of them all. Also you have a boat as stable as can be built, that will pack a load and lay

in a trough without turning over.
The crown of deck should not be less than 2',£ inches, and the midship section shapes should take up just a little more than half the overall length. I shall deal later on with the shape, length, speed, ratio. Also stability at small and large angles.
Top Heavy
It is perfectly ridiculous the way some boats are built up. Many people go to a lot of trouble to get stability only to lose it with too much top hamper.
<•
There is no reason why a person should not live in a deck house instead of down below. If the boat is well designed, there is nothing to stop it. I definitely say the height should be lowered by dropping the house floor below the deck line. Flooding can be overcome by having the floor calked and watertight with scupper pipes running to the boat side under the deck line, fitted with valves.
My design No. 297 looks after this, and makes the pilot house self bailing, controls are water proofed, as they come through the floor. It is the height that must be watched. The higher the weight the greater the leverage, so keep the gravity centre as low as possible, and with the forementioned calculations, you will really have a stable boat, and one that does not need unnecessary ballast when light. We shall continue later with the article as I am close to deadline this week.
