it A second of the six new U.S.
F-111-A jets that entered the Vi-
etnam war less than a week ago
has-crashed, the Air Force report-
ed today. Its two crewmen were
rescued.
The Pentagon in Washington
said the plane .crashed yesterday
in Thailand - indicating it ran
into mechanical trouble rather
than enemy gunfire. The planes
are based in Thailand.
The first of the $6 million su-
personic, swingwing fighter bomb-
ers vanished Thursday. North Vi-
etnam claimed its forces shot it
down. U.S. officials have said on-
ly the plane and its crewmen are
missing.
In its announcement of the loss
of the second plane, the Air Force
in Saigon said: "A second F111-A
Sniper Rumor
Scares Powell
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (P)-Adam
Clayton Powell, described as ner-
vous about a rumor of a white
* sniper in Gainesville, refused to
leave his fishing resort in Bimini
yesterday to make a scheduled
speech at the University of Flor-
ida.
Wayne Fulton, president of the
organization which invited Pow-
ell, the Afro-American Student;
Association, remained behind with:
the deposed Congressman to try
and talk him into changing his
mind.
Fred Fevrier, the pilot sent to
pick Powell up, said Powell was
nervous about the reported shoot-
ings and would not leave the Ba-
hamian island off the coast of
Florida, where he remained in
exile until his dramatic return to
Harlem last week.
Police confirmed that three Ne-
groes were shot early yesterday,
one fatally. No charges were fil-
ed and police said they did not
know whether the assailant was
white or black.
However, Alachua County Sher-
iff's Lt. Ronald Stanley, describ-
ed the incident as a "plain old
barroom shooting. It has no ra-
cial overtones or any other over-
tones to it at all."
Powell was scheduled to address
a 4 p.m. news conference and a
7 p.m. assembly.

of the group of 10.
Swedish Economics Minister
Christer Wickman, chairman of
the meeting, told reporters: "The
road is now open to international
acceptance of the special drawing
rights. This is an important event
in monetary history."
The object of the new arrange-
ments is to supply.the $71 billion
worth now held by the non-Com-
munist countries of the world.
New reserves are necessary be-
cause trade is growing, and coun-
'tries, which buy more goods than
they sell, need bigger reserves to
tide them over until the flow is
reversed.
U.S. Urges $10 Billion
No total amount was discussed,
Wickam said. The United States
has been urging $10 billion worth
for the first five years. The Uni-
ted States would receive about
$2.4 of this.
Wickam said it had also been
agreed to give the European Com-
mon Market a veto right over ac-
tivating the special drawing rights
(SDR's) and over many other ac-
tivities of the International Mon-
etary Fund itself-but not on the
adoption of the general frame-
work of the scheme.
The special drawing rights
would be allocated to each of the
members of the International
Mnoetary Fund in proportion to
its contribution to the fund. The
United States has a 24.6 percent!
quota in the fund. It would get
$246 million of each $1 billion cre-
ated in SDR's.
The central banks of member!
nations would count the SDR's3
among their reserves just as they
now count gold and foreign cur-
rency. The central banks would
also be able to transfer SDR's to:
one another just as they now
transfer gold.

South Vietnam itself.
The loss of two of the jets,.
packed with highly sophisticated
electronic guiding gear, comes as
a sharp blow to the Air Force and
could cause the grounding of the
other four in Thailand-at least
temporarily.
A Pentagon spokesman said the
Air Force is sending a flight safe-
ty team to aid in the investigation
of the crash.
The F-ll1s are the most ad-
vanced warplane in the U.S. arse-
nal.
Weather Clears
The monsoon weather which
has protected North Vietnam for
six months is beginning to break,
leaving the Hanio-HIaiphong area
open to massive American attacks
unless President Johnson orders
a pause.
The pace of U.S. air raids al-
ready has quickened and another
indication of clearing weather has
been the appearance of North Vi-
etnamese MIG interceptors in the
last three days. American pilots
dueled some of the enemy planes
Friday and the Air Force announ-
ced a possible MIG kill.
In Washington, however, Rep.
Melvin Laird (R.-Wis.), told
newsmen he thinks the adminis-
tration is considering "at the
highest levels," a 30-day bombing
pause. The White House response
was noncommittal.

LONDON (W) Prime Minister
Harold Wilson, in a showdown
mood, set out yesterday to reshape
his cabinet after a mid-term elec-
toral defeat rocked his govern-
ment and two British press ty-
coons announced their disen-
chantment with his leadership.
With his approval, a senior
minister, leader of the House of
Commons R i c h a r d Crossman,
warned malcontents within the
cabinet against any attempt to
oust the prime minister.
Urges New Leadership
He did this publicly urging the
need for a reconstructed collective
leadership strong enough to take
the necessary decisions and sen-
sitive to the needs of its own rank
and file.
Crossman's remarks were wide-
ly interpreted as the opening sal-
vo in a leadership struggle, with
Defense Secretary Denis Healey
named as a principal activist in
the behind-the-scenes drama.
Disenchanted Press
Alongside this development, two
influential press tycoons served
notice they share the disenchant-
ment with Wilson evident among
British voters.
Cecil King, head of the mass
circulation Daily Mirror group,
announced withdrawal of his sup-
port for Wilson as leader of the
Labor government.
Lord Thomson's independent
London Times suggested editorial-
ly that Chancellor of the Exche-
quer Roy Jenkins should take ov-
er from Wilson if a reborn Labor
movement is to have any political
relevance.
King's intervention seemed es-
pecially significant. The Mirror

has been crucial in swinging opin-
ion behind Labor in the four elec-
tions it has won since World War
II. It is no secret that in recent
months King has identified him-
self closely with Healey's views.
Wilson was weekending at Che-
quers, his country retreat near
London, with his attention focus-
ed on a cabinet shakeup due for
announcement next month.

Firebombs Hit
N.Y. Stores
By The Associated Press
Firebombs were thrown in three
of Manhattan's best known de-
partment stores yesterday - Ma-
cy's, Bloomingdale's and Klein's.
Fire officials alerted all the city's
department stores. There were
also fires at Gimbel's and an an-
nex to Klein's.
None produced major damage,
as did mysterious fires in Chica-
go stores Friday. Clerks at two of
the New York stores told police
they saw Negroes hurl the fire
bombs.
In Chicago, a minor fire burned
briefly yesterday in Goldblatt
Brothers in the latest of a series
of fires in big State Street depart-
ment stores. A small fire in aI

was extinguished by the sprinkler
system. John Pirie, Jr., chairman

were in the millions of dollars-
said the fires "definitely are ar-

Demuanded
By Goldberg
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. () -
Amid signs of fading peace pros-
pects in the Middle East the UN
Security Council yesterday heard
a vow by the Israelis to continue
a policy of military reprisals for
Arab guerrilla raids and a demand
by Jordan for an arms embargo
against Israel.
Israeli Ambassador Yosef Te-
koah served notice on the council
that new military blows by Israel
would be his country's forceful re-
ply to continued activity by Arab
guerrillas. He said this amounted
to Arab warfare under the guise
of liberation movements in Israeli
occupied Arab territory.
Asks Harsher Penalties
Jordan called upon the 15-
nation council to impose harsh
penalties upon Israel possible un-
der the UN charter, including an
arms embargo.
Deploring the new outbreak of
violence on Friday that led both
Israel and Jordan to ask for the
urgent meeting of the council,
U.S. Ambassador Arthur J. Gold-
berg proposed the stationing of
UN observers along the explosive
Israeli-Jordan cease-fire line.
Soviet Ambassador Jacob A.
Malik said that sanctions against
Israel should be the next course
of action by the council. He stres-
sed eonomic aspects of such ac-
tion.
While the 15-nation council was
in emergency session Secretary
General U Thant distributed a
report saying his special peace
envoy in the Middle East, Gunnar
Jarring of Sweden, had found a
"basic difference of outlook" be-
tween the Arabs and Israel.
This was the first publicized
report of any substance on the
Jarring mission, undertaken last
December. There had been un-
official reports that Jarring was
meeting failure in his private talks
with. Israeli, Egyptian and Jor-
dian officials. He has been trying
to arrange ' peace talks at his
headquarters in Nicosia on Cy-
prus.,
The council met for almost 2 Vf
hours, adjourning at 1:32 p.m.
subject to call. This was to give
time for members to consult on
what action to be taken, and an-
other meeting was not likely be-
fore tomorrow.
Turns Down Demand
South Africa was reported on
good authority to have turned
down a third demand from the,
council that it release South West
African nationalists convicted of
terrorism under South African
law.
South Africa Ambassador Mat-
thys I. Botha gave Thant a letter
on the subject from Foreigi Min-
ister Hilgard Muller. Thant was
expected to give the. council a
written report on South Africa's
position tomorrow.
Thirty three South West Afri-
cans were convicted in Pretoria,
South Africa, Feb. 9 and sen-
tenced to prison terms ranging
from five years to life. Three of
the sentences were suspended.
The council held that the trial
was illegal because the General
Assembly had deprived South
Africa of its mandate over South
West Africa in 1966.
