The U. S. joint chiefs of staff
conferred in Frankfurt today with
army officers of Luxembourg and
Italy. These were the first of a se
ries of talks they will engage in
with European military represen
tatives.
When they go to London later
this week the American chiefs will
hear two separate plans for West
ern Europe’s defense. Both in
volve the use of American dollars
for arms and equipment.
One group of military leaders
believe that ony a large army,
containing up to 1,500,000 combat

sion if the Russians substitute mil
itary for political pressure. An
other group believes the best ans
wer is a mobile, well equipped
force of perhaps 250.000 rron
backed by enough planes to guar

pelleted a compromise of ;hr twi
views eventually will be worked

PORTLAND, </P)—Air force se
curity buns has halted airline pi
lots’ discussion of an unidentified
aircraft that dropped red and
white flares in this vicinity Sat
urday night.
But police of two states and sev
era ltowns are still puzzled by the
distress-type signals that caused
the Portland-Columbia municipal
airport to order commercial traf
fic away for an emerkency.
The aircraft and flares were
sighted by Northwest Airlines pi
lot Capt. Paul Thrush and co-pilot
| C. J. Cole as they brought in a run
from Spokane. A United Airlines
pilot told the Oregonian he also
detected the flares at a distance
while en route north to Portland
at the same time.
Bernard Basford, civil aeronau
tics administration airport con
trol tower operator, reported see
ing the aircraft and taking bear
ings on its position. Basford said
it dropped several flares and.
when Capt. Thrush radioed he
had sighted the distress-type sig
nals, he ordered four scheduled
airline landings to be delayed.
The Oregonian reported theMc

any navy officials are investigat
ing reports that the naval pilot
was "buzzing” the Eastern Air
lines, plane when they collided in
the air near Fort Dix, N. J.
An account of the buzzing from
a Piper Cub who witnessed the
accident, George W. Humphries,
of Fairhaven, was backed up by
pilots for Eastern Airlines and Na
tional Airlines. They said their
planes had been buzzed by navy
lighters in the same area shortly
before the collision.
Identification of the airlines’ 15
victims—12 passengers and three
crewmen — meanwhile was pro
