Edward Kamuda, co-founder of the Titanic Historical Society, said Drew is among about 50 Titanic survivors still living. “All of them seem to remem ber the terrible crying in the wa- . . .“You have to under stand, it was black — you couldn't see a thing. Jt seems to me that I heard an explosion - steam, smoke, tire and Hashes, and then it was gone. Then there were the cries.” — Marshal Drew, survivor of the Titanic voyage ter when the ship went down, and it continued through the night,” Kamuda said. “One (survivor) who died last year, said to his dying day he remembered all those people crying. And he always wondered if he could have saved his father.” When it sailed from South ampton, England, the Titanic carried some of the richest of the world’s rich. John Jacob Astor and his wife were aboard in a suite that cost .$4,000 for a one way voyage. Benjamin Gug genheim and his entourage also walked the teak wood decks on the special promenade exclu sively reserved for the upper class. The society is displaying hun dreds of Titanic artifacts this week at the Philadelphia Mari time Museum, including Mrs. Astor’s lifejacket, pieces of rail ing and the report from the crewman who first sighted the iceberg. Drew was traveling from Lon don to New York with his aunt and uncle — neither of whom survived — when passengers were ordered into lifeboats. He said the scene on the 882-foot- long ship was orderly, despite myths to the contrary. “When you make a movie, you have to have people run ning around, panicking,” Drew said. “Everything was orderly — not only orderly but quiet. Peo ple did what they were told. “Was I scared? Yes! When the lifeboat lowered over the side, this was like going down a sky scraper. I remember the orches tra playing off in the distance. “Legend has it the orchestra was playing ‘Nearer My God To Thee.’ It was not! “When we were picked up by the Carpathia, adults were hoisted up out of lifeboats in swings, the children went up in canvas bags. Being a kid, 1 was hungry.” Drew said he wasted no time in finding food on the rescue ship. Drew now lives in a small home in this southern Rhode Is land town. His crowded living room is filled with his paintings and photographs, many of the nearby shoreline. Drew has traveled since on the ocean — a ferry trip from Maine to Nova Scotia^—and said the chilling experience 70 years ago neither made him fear nor hate the sea. “I hear the ocean every day — it’s only 2 miles away,” he said. Unitetl Press International SAN SALVADOR, El Salva dor — Politicians struggled to form a coalition government Wednesday amid charges the U.S.-backed Christian Demo crats were trying to wreck nego tiations and blackmail the right- wing parties. The Christian Democratic leaders Tuesday rejected a gov ernment of national unity prop osed by five right-wing parties that competed against them in the March 28 elections for a con stituent assembly. Charging the proposed re gime would diminish its power in the strife-torn Central .Amer ican nation of 4.8 million, the Christian Democrats offered three alternatives for a new gov ernment. The first calls for a coalition of the moderate Christian Democrats, rightist parties and the Salvadoran army. The second calls for rule by Christian Democrats, the ultraright Na tionalist Republican Alliance and the rightist National Con ciliation Party. The Christian Democrats’ third proposal calls for an in terim president with no political affiliation but acceptable to the three leading parties. Rightists won 36 seats, giving them control of the 60-member assembly if they unite. The Christian Democrats won the re maining 24 seats. Leftists boycotted the election. The assembly is empowered to name a new ruling junta, write a new constitution and govern until national elections, possibly in 1983. “Our only guarantee that this democratization process con tinues to be reality is to insure the preeminent participation that Christian Democrats earned by winning 42 percent of the vote,” party chief Julio Samayoa said.
