LAGOS, Nigeria <•£*> — Fed

it was declared a rebel capital in
another blow at Nigeria’s splinter

The British high commission

Queen Elizabeth Launches Liner Q-4:
Name Stirs Scottish Resentment
By MICHAEL R. CODEL
CLYDEBANK, Scotland CP>--
Queen Elizabeth II gave her own
name Wednesday to Britain’s
new transatlantic liner, and the
royal accolade stirred resent
ment into the pride of the ship’s
Scottish builders.
More than 30,000 persons
alongside the River Clyde cheered
as the queen cut a ribbon that
sent a magnum of champagne
crashing against the bows of the
58,000-ton liner—designed as the
most advanced passenger ship in
the world.
THEN THE cheers seemed to
fade as the sleek successor to
Britain’s two elderly Atlantic
Queens glided into the water with
a rumble from 1,400 tons of drag
chains.
It was as if most of the spec
tators had just grasped the sig
nificance of the queen’s words on
the launching platform: “I name
this ship Queen Elizabeth the II.”
The second ? Many Scots, not
necessarily nationalists, don’t
recognize such a person. They

regard Queen Elizabeth I as just
an English monarch who reigned
south of the border and died more
than 100 years before the union
of England and Scotland in 1707.
According to the nationalists,
that makes the present monarch
Queen Elizabeth I of Scotland —
whatever the English call her.
Some felt so strongly about it
after the coronation in 1953 that
they put bombs in mail boxes
carrying the rolal cipher “EK
11.” Now Scottish mail boxes
compromise with “ER” — Eliza
beth Regina, no number.
“The name must mean that the
ship is the successor to the old
Queen Elizabeth,” said one ship
yard man. “That’s the best ex
planation we can think of.”
GORDON WILSON, secretary
of the Scottish National party, a
home-rule group not represented
in Parliament, said his Glasgow
headquarters had been jammed
with protest calls.
“I think the name will be re
sented by a great number in
Scotland, and shows little regal'd
for the thousands of Scottish
craftsmen who worked to create
the ship,” he said.
The old liner Queen Elizabeth,
due to retire in 1968, radioed
from its transatlantic route:
“WE SALUTE OUR successor
and wish her fair sailing in
peaceful seas.” She is 82,997
tons.
The 81,237-ton Queen Mary
sent greetings as she neared New
York on her last Atlantic round
trip. She is to tie up later at
Long Reach, Calif.
All three Queens are of the
Cunard Line.
The new liner, a computerized
pleasuredrome costing $84 mil
lion, is a financial gamble on
the hope of luring business away
from transatlantic jet travel.
Jet competition hurt both the
old Queens, built in the ’30s.
N. Vietnamese
Haul Supplies
Across China
lly BOR HORTON
AP Military Writer
WASHINGTON CP> — North
Vietnamese are traveling across
Red China to receive Russian war
supplies at the Soviet-Chinese
border, congressional testimony
revealed Wednesday.
The disclosure was made by
military men testifying before the
Senate preparedness investigating
subcommittee Aug. 10 during a
closed hearing on the Vietnamese
air war.
The comments of Adm. U. S.
Grant Sharp, Pacific commander
in chief, and Air Force Maj. Gen.
Chesley G. Peterson, assistant
chief of staff of Pacific intelli
gence, were released Wednesday.
Peterson said it is “an accepted
intelligence estimate” that the
North Vietnamese are taking
physical possession of it across
China.
“They are having problems
with the Chinese stealing stuff
off the rails,” Peterson said. “The
Soviets therefore worked out an
agreement that the North Vietna
mese themselves would take it
over and accompany it all the
way.”
Peterson -said relations between
the Chinese and Russians has
been “a little bit had, and may get
worse.” In efforts to destroy
such supplies coming by rail
through China, U. S. air attacks
have been stepped up in North
Vietnam’s upper regions.
