Authorities Seek Clues In Chinese Ship Sinking
TOKYO — (UPI) — Maritim authorities sought tonight to unravel the mystery of a scuttled Communist Chinese freighter whose crew claimed the ship had been torpedoed three times by a submarine of unknown nationality in the Yellow Sea.
Japanese officials were skeptical that the 11,432-ton Leap Forward had been torpedoed. They said it was more likely the freighter rammed a rock or a reef. All crewmen were saved.
Military sources tended to discount the possibility the cargo vessel had struck a mine left over from World War II or the Korean War.
Japanese officials feared the sinking, reported early today, would mushroom into a major incident with the Communist regime in Peking.
