British Airliner
Crashes; Kills 28
LONDON (JP)—A twin-engined
M
air liner smashed into a London
suburb today, killing 28 of the 29
persons aboard.
British European Airways said
an engine failed shortly after the
plane took crff from London for
Glasgow. The plane, a Dakota,
was attempting to return to Lon
don.
The air line said it carried 24
passengers, including one infant
and a crew of five.
The survivor, a man, was taken
to a hospital.
One report said the craft caught
fire in the air, hit a house top,
then plowed through a wall into
a garden. One wing still teetered
atop a house.

“Ike” Definitely In
Political Picture,
Like It Or Not
WASHINGTON, (/P) —General
Dwight D. Eisenhower once again
has become a Presidential possi
bility for 1952 and the big threat
to all other would-be candidates,
i Republican or Democratic.
That is true despite the gener
! al’s statement that he has not
! changed his mind about staying
out of politics.
To Washington political experts
! it is apparent that the plug Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey of New York
put in Sunday for Eisenhower as
| a 1952 Republican Presidential
i candidate has three important re
i
; suits:
1. Whether he likes it or not,

NEW FEDERATED CHURCH
SOCIAL ROOM ADDITION TO
COMMUNITP'S FACILITIES
“Our new Sunday School- So
cial Room is going to help us do
a lot better job in doing our part
to meet the needs of the com
munity,” a committee of the Fed
erated Church said at their meet
ing yesterday.
The statement came from the
finance committee as they made
plans for next Sunday’s Pledge
Service at the Church.
The church intends to use the
building as a meeting place for
the Cub Scouts, Young Adult and
Youth Activities, for the Sunday
School and for a much needed
church dining room.
General Ike definitely has been
shoved into the 1952 political pic
ture and will stay there unless
and until he takes himself out
just as definitely.
2. Dewey’s pledge to work for
the popular soldier educ a t o r
makes it rough on any other Re
publicans who may be hopefully
eyeing the White House. Dewey
lost as the GOP Presidential can
didate in 1944 and 1948, but he
still is head of the Republican
party and still has a lot of influ
ence in it.
3. President Truman now would
find it more difficult to pick
Eisenhower to command a pro
posed international army to de
fend Western Europe against com
munism. There has been much
speculation that the Columbia
University president might be
called back into uniform for this
assignment. But if Mr. Truman
sent Eisenhower to Europe now
he might lay himself open to
charges he was trying to get out
of the country the man who might
be his most dangerous political
rival in 1952.
