Estes Challenges Nixon To Make Apologies
SIOUX FALLS, S. D.,—(UP)—Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Estes Kefauver today challenged Vice President Richard M. Nixon to apologize publicly for past statements about Democratic leaders.
Mr. Kefauver told a news conference here that he welcomed the new high plane of "sweetness and light" type of political campaigning that Mr. Nixon has started out using this year. But the Democratic candidate expressed skepticism that Mr. Nixon would continue it throughout the campaign.
Mr. Kefauer said that if the vice president is really sincere, he will apologize for past statements which Kefauer said impugned the motives and loyalty of Democratic leaders. Mr. Kefauer did not specify any individuals to whom Nixon should apologize.
Mr. Kefauver also said that Mr. Nixon had unjustly inferred that the Democratic party was dominated by left wing forces and had communist sympathies.
"I am delighted to hear about this new Nixon and glad to welcome him back to the company of civilized men." he said.
But the Democratic candidate said that he feared that it might turn out to be like a railroad ticket, "good for 90 days only and good for one trip and one direction only."
Stockholm Officer Testifies At Hearing
NEW YORK,—(UP) — The Third Officer of the Liner Stockholm testified today that the Swedish ship was sailing full speed ahead on a course of 90 degrees when he went on watch a few hours before the ship crashed into the Andrea Doria, killing 50 persons and sinking the Italian liner.
Ernest Carstens-Johansen said the course was altered by the captain at 9:40 p.m. to 87 degrees. The sky was overcast, he said, but visibility was five to six miles. Mr. Carstens-Johansen was the first witness called in a pre-trial hearing.

Dulles Asks Parley For Shipping 'Czar'
LONDON,—(UP) — Secretary Of State John Foster Dulles asked the second London Suez Conference today to appoint a Western shipping "Czar" with powers to divert traffic from the Suez Canal if this proves "necessary."
Mr. Dulles put the new Suez users union proposal before the 18 nation conference after British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd warned there would be "no compromise" on international control of the waterway. But Mr. Lloyd, elected chairman of the conference, said, "we want to proceed by peaceful means."
