Supreme Knight Martin H. Carmody of the Knights of Columbus, speaking at the opening session of the order's 53d national convention in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel today, charged that Mexico, through her consular service, radio and printed propaganda, is attempting to destroy civil liberty and replace it with Communism in the United States.

Shark-Infested Waters Captain Olsen and his son were slightly injured. The latter narrowly escaped death in shark-infested waters before he was pulled Into a dory by the others. The men said they clung to wreckage until they came upon a dory which had been blown undamaged from the vessel. Their efforts to board it, however, were hampered as another broken dory was jammed inside it by the blast. Young Olsen, one of the last picked up, said he had been attacked by a shark.

It was coming directly at him, he said, when a large fish, swimming nearby attracted its attention and gave him an oppor-. tunity to get Into the boat. Captain Olsen said they were in the dory about two hours when the Norwegian vessel came along and took them aboard. Trapped in Rigging-Young Olsen told of being caught between the mast and the rigging after the blast, but he succeeded in releasing himself before the craft sank. The captain of Belpemela, Sigure Lura, hails from Stavanger, Norway, and, according to members of his crew, figured in another rescue several years ago when he picked up two French aviators off the coast of Europe.

The boat was listed as owned by Adolph Steinfeld of 639 53d Brooklyn, He was not on board at the time. It was reported that he was spending the Summer with his family at Montauk Point, L. I. Eagle Staff Photo. Deputy Michael F.

Wound 2 Police The charge Is that on the early morning of Feb, 20 last, they stole clothing valued at $645 from the store of Leon Schussel at 151-10 Jamaica Ave, Jamaica.

Statements allegedly made to the police and the District Attorney by Fives, John Mang and McGrath were read to the Jury thU morning after Judge Colden ruled late yesterday, following lengthy argument, that the statements were admissable. Defense counsel had contended the statements were obtained by coercion and were made under duress. In the statements the trio admitted stealing the clothing, and implicated Peter Mang, Judge Colden late yesterday upheld the oft disputed right of a newspaperman to refuse to reveal sources of his Information, when The Eagle reporter covering the trial was called to the witness stand. Judge Colden In excusing T. Norman Palmer, Eagle reporter, who also covered the arrest of the defendants, said "this court recognizes the right of a newspaperman to refrain from' divulging sources of his information.

If you feel that in doing this (taking the stand), it may interfere with this right you are at liberty not to take the stand at this time." Assistant District Attorney John H. W. Krogmann. called Palmer to the stand in an effort to strengthen police testimony when Detective Capt. Henry Flattery Identified him as a reporter who covered the investigation.

Judge Colden's ruing followed the reporter's request that he be subpenaed as a witness before testifying. The callng of the reporter as a witness climaxed a police "parade" of 14 witnesses, many of whom were recalled for further questioning, and marked the last stages of the prosecution's case. The whole of yesterday's listless session was devoted to testimony denying alleged beatings upon the four defendants by police.

At the close of the day Judge Colden accepted into evidence the confessions, despite strong assertions by the defense that lt was only after a "third degree" that the confessions were signed.
