Bejarano, grew out of his alleged disobediance and conduct unbecomiµg an officer, accorduig to testimony before the House group looking into the . school's controversial existence. The hearings have been focused on reported dissension arising from moves by Kings Point staff members to retain their semi-military status. The investigation has thrown the uniformed faculty and the cadets into a state of turmoil sin,ce Congress began the formal inquiry. Lt. Comdr. Bejarano and a group of the faculty, it was charged, held a press conference with local newspaper reporters against the wishes• of the academy superintendent. Rear Admiral Gordon McLintock; the Kings Point superintendent; preferred charges and called '!or Comdr. Bejarano's ~is­ enrollment on February- 15. This was later postponed until today.

Dom, all of New York City, to hear first-hand reports of efforts by the academy and staff members to keep Kings Point's semi-military status. Legis- . lation which would have put" tba academy on an entirely civilian footing has been strongly opposed by the school. A report this week indicated that the bill to put the faculty and administrative staff under civil service drew favorable committee action. Their status would then be the same as that for civilians at Annapolis. SIU Criticisms Traditionally, the SIU has been critical of the Kings Point opel'.ation on several counts. One is the Union's belief that seamen coming out of the ranks should be encouraged and given opportunity to becQme ship's officers, instead of having officers trained in a military atmosphere. The other was that the limited US maritime budget should ·not be used to pay for training, at Government expense, of officers who seldom go to work. at the jobs for whicn they were trained. The SIU has also objected to the fact that the academy Ji~~ been an "annex" of Annapolis, rather than a maritime training center, · since a majority of its graduates either go into the Navy or into shoreside jobs. Criticism of Kings Point ·has always emphasized fhat only minority of the school's graduates make a career of shipping in the merchant fleet . a Red Union Enterprise: Cruise Biz ' BERLIN-The former Swedish luxury liner Stockholm sailed Wednesday for the Mediterranean on its first trip as a workers' hoilday ship sponsored by an East German trade · union organization. She was damaged in the 1958 collision off Nantucket (Mass.) that led to the sinking of the Italian lin,er Andrea Doria and took 50 lives. The Stockholm resumed her transatlantic run for a time after repairs. She wa~ bought by East Germany last year. Set up now to provide a cheap 14-day holiday cruise for East .Ger- · man workers, the ship offers a vacation that will cost about $100 or the equivalent of an industrial worker's two-week wage. On the ~ruise the Stockholm will call at Rhode, Pfraeus and l,'alta en route to Constanta, Rumania. I n a slap at West Germany, the Communist trade union organization that owns the ship stated that the cruise operation refl~cts EJst Germany's policy of buying passenger and freight vessels. rather than "destroyers from America" as the Bonn government has dqne.
