Vancouver, BC, Nov, 13.

A Japanese sea captain today told of his deci- sion to forgo an attempt to save four drowning American seamen rather than needlessly risk the lives of his own crew.

Captain N. Matsura, 58, of the Kenkon Maru, said through an interpreter that it was a "most difficult" decision to make. His seamanship already had resulted in the saving of 12 seamen who abandoned the burning grain ship George Walton in the North Pacific last week,
