DAMAGES SUIT BY

SHIP'S CAPTAIN

An action for alleged libel contained in a newspaper article, brought by Mr James M. Hood, Master Mariner, against The Associated Press, of Windsor House, began before Mr James Wicks and a Special Jury in the Supreme Court this morning.

Plaintiff claims that by reason of the publication complained of, he has suffered a loss of earnings at the rate of $2,000 per month and in addi- tion subsistence allowance at the rate of $500 per month.

He is claiming special damages for loss of earnings and subsistence allowance at the rate of $2,500 per month from November 15, 1951, and for gen- eral damages.

Plaintiff's claim is for damages trouble.
