Two men aboard the Exmouth were injured. One report sald only the second ship received minor damages and proceeded on her way, but Coast Guard sources said usually in such collisions both ships suffered heavy damage.

Penal Law Ruling By UN Body

Lake Success, June 4.

The Human Rights Commis- sion today barred the Recipro- city of the penal law by adop ling Article 14 of the Draft Convention on Human Rights, which reads: "No one shall be held guilty of any penal offence un account of any act or omis» sion which did not constitute a penal offence under pational or International law at the time It was committed.”

An American proposal to apply the Article to State enactments was defeated on the ground that the individual rights of men rather than the duties of n State are the more important element. The Article was adopted against the background of the Nureru berg trials, to which both direct und indirect references made.
