Deaths Might Have Been Prevented Says Board
The National Transportation Safety Board heard that more Pearl C occupants could have survived if the Coast Guard had accepted advice and search assistance. Eight died Sept 13 as the charter boat sank while being towed across the Columbia River bar. Capt Kenneth McAlpin said immediate aid offer from the Peacock was not accepted and drift information was ignored, with searches conducted in wrong areas. Two were rescued. He criticized Astoria Coast Guard vessels as inadequate for search and rescue and urged a basic master plan and more stable personnel. The hearing ended early due to a jurisdictional dispute with the Coast Guard.

GE Suit Taken Under Advisement in UPI Report
A $21 million government suit against General Electric was taken under advisement in US District Court in Spokane. Prosecutors say the government overpaid pension benefits to GE during 21 years starting in 1946 while GE served as basic contractor for the Hanford Atomic Reservation under the then Atomic Energy Commission. GE argues the case should be dismissed due to time elapsed since contract termination in 1967. The government also asserts GE liability due to conservative actuary tables. Judge Marshall Neill did not set a ruling date.
