Avalanche Covers
Crashed Plane
PARIS, (.P)—Searcn parties re
ported today that an avalanche of
snow had covered the wreckage of
an Air France liner, which crashed
into a cliff and exploded yesterday
on the treacherous slope of Mount
Moucherolle in the French Alps.
There was no trace of the 18 pas
sengers, four of whom were Amer
icans. or of the five crewmen.
Ground parties messaged to the
company’s Lyon office that fear of
starting a new snow slide on the
4,000-foot mountain kept them
from digging to examine the
wreckage, which they reached af
ter wading through two feet of
newly fallen snow.
The plane, a two-engine DC-3, j
left Nice yesterday for Paris. It j
crashed into the mountain on its |
southern slope and then slid back i
down into a valley, the company
spokesman said. The site of the
wreck is in the neighborhood of
Chateau Bernard, 25 miles south
of Grenoble.

Hawaii Statehood
I
WASHINGTON, (A>)—Approval
of statehood for Hawaii by the
' House public lands committee ap
, peared assured today.
Spokesmen for Hawaii obvious
I ly were encouraged following ten
I tative committee approval of a
compromise in the dispute over
State vs. Federal ownership of Ha
waii’s public lands.
Committee chairman Welch <R.
Calif.), directed the printing of a
new bill embodying a modified
version of an interior department
amendment to retain federal title
to the public lands.
The compromise, proposed by
Delegate Farrington (R.-Hawaii),
and agreed to by the interior de
partment, would permit Hawaii to
select 180,000 acres for itself, with
out restriction as to location or
federal approval.
The remainder of the 1,600,000
acres of public land would belong
to the federa lgovernment, but the
United States would be required
to protect Hawaii’s watersheds by
continuing to use 698,000 acres for
forest reserves only.
Hawaii spokesman said . that
since only about 40,000 acres of
Hawaiian public lands are produc
tive, the Territory would be able
to select all the revenue-producing
lands for itself if it becomes the
49th state under the proposal.

Congress Awaits
Findings In Greece
(By Jack Bell)
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Fresh Re
publican proposals arose today
that President Truman <1* official
ly report his Greek-Turkey aid
program to the United Nations and
(2) designate Herbert Hoover to di
rect relief activities in the two
countries.
As Congress awaited i legisla
tive blueprint on the President's
program to spend $400,000,000 in
bolstering the Mediterranean na
tions against threats of Commun
ism, Senator H. Alexander Smith
(R.-N. J.) voiced concern at any
“by passing” of the U. N. He said
he thinks a “frank statement" of
American intentions should be
made directly to the international
organization.
At the same time, Senator Moore
(R.-Okla.) suggested that Hooevr
who recently completed a Euro
pean food survey, be named to di
rect relief and rehabilitation ex
penditures which will go along
with the limited military aid Mr.
Truman promised the two coun
tries.
Most members of Congress,
meanwhile, awaited with mount
ing interest the immient return of
Paul Porter from his economic
mission to Greece and of Ambas
sadors Lincoln Mac Veagh and Ed
win C. Wilson from Athens and
Ankara, respectively.
