A cargo ship carrying 400 tons of dynamite exploded and burned near Bermuda after a Wednesday night accident. Captain George Karemeziz, 36, and 24 crew members fought to beach the vessel as a 50 knot gale drove lifeboats apart. The crew of 18 from the second lifeboat were feared lost after capsizing in 30 ft waves while survivors clung to life jackets awaiting rescue. Coast Guard aircraft dropped flares and Liberian ship Trinity Navigator aided in locating survivors.

Fierce Border Battle in India Sparks Defence Crisis
Indian Defence Ministry spokesman says frontline clashes near Walong are the fiercest since the latest frontier war began with China. He notes initial Indian casualties around 10 dead and 20 wounded, with Chinese losses similar. Peking Radio cites heavy bombardment and repeated repels. The government moves to strengthen defense with compulsory military training for students, rifle shooting, expanded home guard, civil defence schemes, while Nehru rejects Chinese peace terms and calls for withdrawal to pre conflict lines. Censorship extends to media covering border activities and reporters receive new instruction from Brigadier Bhardwaj.
