SHIP FOR PROTEST
Navigator Needed
SYDNEY, August 1
Lack of an experienced crew had delayed plans by an Australian anti-atomic testing group to sail a boat into the French atomic bomb testing area in the Pacific. The group, the Committee Against Atomic Testing, needs an experienced ocean navigator. They have a boat, the 40ft sloop Trident, which is now moored at Rushcutters Bay, Sydney. The assistant secretary of C-A-A..T, Mr E. Stanton, said yesterday the committee hoped to have a crew to sail the sloop into the testing area for the most vital tests in the French series expected either at the end of this year or early in 1967.
The Trident will carry a crew of six into the test area.
