Rescue Craft Hunt Missing Lifeboats
Twenty five crew members are missing and five unaccounted for after a fire and explosion on the Norwegian tanker Etnefjell in the North Atlantic. Lifeboats with 25 men were sought as the vessel drifted 130 miles southeast of Cape Farewell. Coast Guard Absecon and aircraft from the US and Canada pursued two lifeboats while the tanker’s three aboard—master, chief mate, and first engineer—remained. Weather hindered boarding, and SOS signals from the ship prompted international search efforts. The Etnefjell was en route from Frederikstad to Botwood when the incident occurred.

Only American Airman Masters Japanese Sword Polishing
Air Force veteran Robert Benson, stationed at Kirtland AFB, learned the Japanese craft of sword polishing in Japan. He became the first foreigner to study under top polishers, and his 300 year old Niga Nata sword ranked among the nation’s top 10 in 1967 competition. Benson laments museums’ lack of interest in hosting polished swords.
