LXVIII, No. 14S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1956 FOUR PAGES Forty-five Killed In Plane Tragedy Military Transport Crashed Only Three Miles from Runway End FT. DIX, N. J. ()--A military air transport plane with 66 Europe bound servicemen and civilians aboard crashed yesterday in a pine-wooded swamp during a rain and hail storm. Forty-five persons-including two women and two children--were killed and 21 injured. An airman aboard, one of the least injured, said the Giant C118 hit "an air pocket" as it took off from nearby McGuire Air Force Base runway and plummeted to the ground. , The four-engine craft split as it landed on its belly but did not burn. Parts of the wreckage were scattered over a half mile area " of brush and trees, some of which 'National Conventions' Atomic Power Group Including Proposed Reds, U.S. By Russia Says Armed Greek Cypriot Leaders Forces Can Reject Eden's Overtures y Committee, Increases Foreig Aid WASHINGTON (W)-The Senate Appropriations Committee, in a significant victory for President Dwight D. Eisenhower, voted yes- terday to add almost 700 million dollars to the foreign aid program. It approved a bill which would make available 4,346,220,000 in old and new funds for foreign aid during the fiscal year which be- gan July 1. This is $680,300,000 more than is carried in an appropriations bill passed by the House last Wednes- day-and very, close to the figure President Eisenhower said he would settle for. The vote in committee was 13-8, with Democratic Senators Richard Russell (Ga), Dennis Chavez (NM), Allen Ellender (La), Lister Hill (Ala), John McClellan (Ark) and Stennis (Miss) joining Re- publican Senators Joseph Mc- Carthy (Wis) and Henry Dwor- shak (Idaho)' in opposition to the -higher figure. Eight Republicans and five Democrats voted for it. Chairman Carl Hayden (D- Ariz) report the committee beat back fresh efforts to halt aid to Communist Yugoslavia and left the Yugoslav decision up to the President. The foreign aid fight isn't fin- ished yet, however. There will be another battle on the Senate floor next week, when the appropria-' tions measure comes up from the committee. But the prospects of President Eisenhower getting more money for his mutual security program this year appeared to be brighten- The major part of this year's foreign aid program is planned as military assistance to strength- en foreign nations against Com- munist exransion. But ;there is also some, economic aid included. Those voting for more money included Democratic Senator Earle Clements (Ky) and Republican Senators Edward Thye (Minn), Karl Mundt (SD), Everett Dirk- sen (Ill) and Charles Potter were 100 feet high. Crew of 10 The Douglas Liftmaster, heading for Burtonwood, England, was' taking servicemen and military de- pendents to foreign posts. It car- ried a crew of 10, and its passen- gers included 41 enlisted men, nine officers, and six civilians. An Army doctor, Lt. Col. Pedro M. Souza, blamed most of the deaths on fractures. He said most of the pasengers had not released themselves from safety belts and that the impact left them dead or injured still in their chairs. Only six were thrown clear. Another Army physician, Lt. Col. Horace W. Doty, quoted sur- vivor Albert J. Buck as saying ,the ship hit an air pocket. Buck, an airman, suffered a fractured ankle. Later Reports Early Air Force reports placed the number of dead at 13 and in- jured at 35. Later McGuire an- nounced that 43 diedin the plane and two others in hospitals. Some of the survivors were so badly injured that they are not expected to live through the night, according to Maj. Huly Bray, in- formation services officer at the base. Only .one member of the cre- - the flight engineer - sur- vived. The big craft took off about 4 p.m. during a storm which covered most of South Jersey. A violent freak windstorm at Camden, about 20 miles southwest of here, had wrecked a diner, pushed around parked cars and shattered plate glass windows an hour and a half earlier. Several persons were in- jured. The field tower had no warning of the crash. It lost radio contact with the ship and a search was instigated. Segregated Congrega tons ST. LOUIS (P)-Negro Metho- dist pastors agreed yesterday that racially segregated congregations will continue for some time. The discussion of racial integra- tion came at a two-day conference of leaders of Negro Methodist churches from 15 midwestern and southern states. "We can't have integrated churches and segregated housing at the same time,"= said Bishop Matthew E. Clair, Jr. of St. Louis, who presides over churches in the 15-state district. "We are not going to have inte- gration until people live together," he said. "We must take this prob- lem step by step. Our goal is integration . . . We have a long way to go."

WASHINGTON (P)-The chair- man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said yesterday, "It is possible that manpower requirements for future security of the United States can ultimately be lower because of the introduction of new weapons." The chairman, Adm. Arthur W. Radford, did not say how great the cut in the military forces might be. ~The New York Times said yes- terday that the chiefs of the Army, Navy and Air Force are in "re- volt" against a Radford proposal to slash U.S. armed forces by about 800,000 men by 1960. Radford refused to comment on the "revolt" report. The Times said strategic defense planning 'has been halted until after the election because of oppo- sition by the armed services chiefs to a concept which they feel would shrivel U.S. military contributions to the defense of Europe. In a statement issued hours later, with Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson's approval, Rad- ford commented: "The Joint Chiefs of Staff have not been relieved of the annual requirement to advise on the pat- tern of military forces in the fore- seeable future and their studies will continue until they are able to present their best advice to the secretary of defense. "This may or may not be a; unanimous recommendation." Wilson affirmed that he had "read and approved" Radford's statement. There was no comment from the chiefs of staff, They are Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, Army; Adm. Arleigh A. Burke, Navy; and Gen. Nathan F. Twining, Air Force. In testimony this spring the Defense Department said the cur- rent military manpower of around 2,850,000 would be maintained for the time being but that studies were under way to estimate how many men would be needed in future years to man the great variety of new weapons and equip- ment coming into use. Reaction in Congress was gen- erally marked by a tendency to hold back until the facts become clearer. Mahon said he doubted that Radford had actually recom- mended a cut of 800,000 men by 1960. Mahon cited testimony by the Joint Chiefs chairman that the armed forces must be kept at the 2,850,000 level for a number of years. Don't Want Britain's Aid in Developing Self-Government; Want Self-Determination NICOSIA, Cyprus ()-Greek Cypriot leaders rejected yesterday Britain's bid for cooperation in developing self-government for Cyprus. They insisted they first must have guarantees of the right to decide whether they want to join this island colony with Greece. The Ethnarchy Office, which speaks for most of the 400,000 Greek Cypriots, declared that only exiled Archbishop Makarios can negotiate a settlement of the Cyprus issue, and emphasized he already has made self-determination a prime condition. In a statement, the Ethnarchy Office said Prime Minister Anthony Eden's announcement Thursday that Britain will press plans for self-government was received with " "great resentment" by Greek Cy- priots.

Aim Would Be Control For Peace Would Replace Euratom, Which Excludes Soviets MOSCOW (W)--The Soviet Union proposed yesterday a European or- ganization to control peaceful uses of atomic energy including Com- munist and non-Communist na- tions. Both the United States and the Soviet Union would belong. The organization would replace a West European organization now being developed, known as Eura- tom. This is to pool the atomic resources of France, West Ger- many, Italy, the Netherlands, Bel- gium and Luxembourg. NATO Tool The Soviet Union charged that Euratom would be a tool of the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- tion, make more permanent the division of Germany, and enable the Germans eventually to pro- duce atomic weapons. The Soviet Union disclosed its proposals in a note to the embas- sies of the United States, Britain, France and so-called "neutral" nations, including Switzerland and Austria. The proposal is reminiscent of the Soviet call during the Big Four summit conference in July 1955 for a general European treaty on NATO. It wanted the United States invited to join the European secu- rity organization with Communist China getting observer status. The proposal drew a negative reaction from the West. Under UN Auspices Russia has agreed with Ithe United States and other countries to set up under United Nations auspices an international agency for the peaceful development of atomic energy. An 84-nation con- ference will meet in New York in September toconsider a charter. Moscow failed in efforts to get Red China admitted to that meet- ing. Euratom is in the treaty draft- ing phase. The French National Assembly this week approved French parteiipation. The plan was approved in principle by the six governments in May. West Germany, Italy, France, Britain, the Netherlands and Lux- embourg are already members of a coal-steel pool. The military angle has been avoided in the pro- posed atomic pool, but under con- sideration is a treaty provision which would bar any member from exploding an atomic device for at least five years. t t x C 'u i; t) r after Quick Survey, Visitor Decides Daily Has Gone To The Dogs ................~ XW. .v.J..'.. .vim, : v :.+.v. v, ti "..... v Wffi ' l""" ', "*.. ,3 l"* 'll' X" - lils,
