Four Young Poles Fly
Bullet-Riddled, Make-shift
Airplane Out of Poland
By GUSTAV SVENSSON
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, (/P) —
Four young Poles, erne a woman,
landed their bullet-riddled, make
shift plane in southern Sweden
Friday and told of a dramatic es
cape from Red Poland amid gun
fire.
They asked asylum, saying they
were ‘fed up” with the communist
regime in their homeland.
Their exploit was less than 24
hours after 12 sailors of the Pol
ish navy staged a Baltic mutiny
aboard a minesweeper and cho*se
refuge in Sweden.
The two incidents created spec
ulation concerning a possible con
nection with the recent visit to
Poland of Soviet deputy prime
minister V. M. Molotov, who
warned in threatening terms
against Titoist revolts.
The four refugees made a per
fect landing, despite riddled land
ing gear, near Malmoe, and said
they escaped after a gunfight with
Polish military guards. They told
a thrilling story of zig-zagging at
10,000 feet through the Baltic
clouds to shake off a pursuing
military aircraft. j

Congress May Probe
Cheating At West Point
WASHINGTON, (TP) — The\
dismissal of 90 West Point cadets
for cheating in exams brought de
mands for congressional investi
gation of the military academy—
including its football activities.
Senator Young (R-ND) urged ;
Congress to probe the possibility
that over-emphasis on football led
to the breakdown of the acad
emy’s famed honor system.
Gen. J. Lawton Collins, army !
chief of staff, reportedly blamed
such over-emphasis in telling law
makers of the mass dismissals,
largest in the academy’s 149 year
history. Senators said he hinted
that a majority of the academy’s
game-winning football players
► cheated on exams because foot- .
ball practice cut down their op
portunities to study.
West Point officials said the
academy football team will play
its fall schedule—win or lose.

O’Dwyer Demands'
Investigation By
Crime Committee
MEXICO CITY, (JP)— Ambas
sador William O’Dwyer demanded
that the Senate Crime Investigat
ing Committee expose “the forces”
which linked his name to a mil
lion-dollar fund transfer.
The Committee issued a state
ment in Washington earlier say
ing it was satisfied with a State
Department explanation that the
transfer was a routine payment
by Mexico to the United States on
its lend-lease account. The com
mittee said it had not spread the
original reports.
The reports, first published by
the New York Daily News, said
the committee was investigating a
million-dollar letter of credit “re
portedly transferred from Mexico
to a Manhattan bank for the ac
count of Ambassador O’Dwyer,”
shortly before the committee
opened televised hearings in New
York last March.
