Two Airliners
Crash In Air
* Continued From Page One
San Juan, Puerto Rico, via Miami,
i* ft Newark airport at 5:08 p.m,
i- ST. The eastern airliner repart
c i at 5:13 p.m. from the same field,
on a scheduled non-stop run to
Miami.
Occupants of both planes, most
ly vacationists and business men,
reported little if any confusion at
Die time of their narrow escape,
a.id most i^aid they had been un
aware of the extent of their dan
ge . All, however, had lavish
praises for crew members.
One grateful survivor of the
Eastern plane, Ben J. Slutzky, of
El.'enville, N. Y., announced he
v.\is presenting $500 to the crew
a d invited other passengers to a
“survivors’ party” at a Miami
n ;ht club.
4iss Joan Cotton, 24-year-old
East Orange, N. J., stewardess on
the Universal plane said:
It nearly tossed rne through the
roof, on passenger, a woman,
started to scream and then stifled
it, but that was as close as we
came to panic.
Most of the passengers were
alternately praying and asking
e, <stions, I fastened their safety
belt sand kept saying, ‘Everything
is all right.’ I tried to think of
sorm t.iing else to say, but that was
all that came out.
When we finally landed, and
tiie passengers saw the big hole in
the front section, some of them
started praying all over again—
and this time they were prayers of
thanks.”
Officials of the Civil Aeronau
To Speed Burma
Self Government
LONDON, <>P>—Prime Minister
Atlee announced today that dis
cussions would be held with Bur
mese leaders soon to speed Bur
ma’s progress toward self-govern -
ment and Winston Churchill im
mediately assailed the decision as
a step toward dissolution of the
British Empire.
In a fighting speech in the
wouse of Commons cut short by
the speaker’s ruling that he was
out of order, Churchill declared:
“It was said in the days of the
great administrator, Lord Chat
ham, that you had to get up very
early in order not to miss some ac
quisition of territory which was
then characteristic of our fortunes.
“The not less memorable admin
istration of the present govern
ment is distinguished for the op
posite set of experiences. I must
say the British Empire seems to be
running off almost as fast as the
American loan.
“The steady and remorseless
process of divesting ourselves of
what has been gained by so many
generations of toil, administra
tion and sacrifice continues.”
tics Board, who questioned the
crew in Washington for hours af
ter they landed, said it was the
first time in American commercial
air history such an accident had
i occurred between two planes
headed in the same direction.
Federal safety regulations re
quire planes flying in onnosite di
rections to maintain different al
titudes, but planes on the same,
heading, although separated by
time intervals, fly on the same lev
els.
Russia Balks At
Atomic Energy
Proposals
(By Max Harralaon)
LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y. <A>) —
Soviet Russia today demanded an
other postponement of any vote
on American proposals for veto
free punishment for violations of
atomic energy controls.
Soviet delegate Andre: A. Grom
yko said he was not prepared to
speak on the substance of the U. S.
atomic control resolution today
and suggested that action be de
layed for ‘six or seven days.”
The Soviet position was made
known as informed quarters said
other delegations, including Great
Britain and Canada, were ready
to oppose any move for a show
down without Soviet consent.
Gromyko said he had not had
time to study the U. S. resolution
n relation to the measure adopted
by the general assembly last week
laying down the basic principles
for a general arms reduction.
Gen. Andrew G. L. McNaughton
of Canada took the floor immedi
ately and supported Gromyko’s
demand for a delay. He said he
supported the U. S. resolution, but
felt that it should be sent to a com
mittee to be studied along with
the assembly’s arms limitation
resolution and a special report on
safeguards.
He proposed that the commis
sion approve the principles of the!
American proposals, but leave the
final wording to the committee,
which would integrate the resolu
tion with other committee reports.
McNaughton pleaded for a
unanimous report to the security
council. |

Cadogan was said to have received

in the other were advanced by the
authorities today as probable
causes of the deaths of aged Mr.
and Mrs. William Madoc Roberts
in their decaying 20-room man
sion in which they once lived in
opulence.
The couple were found on their
bed in the only room in the house
which gave any evidence of hav
ing been lived in in some time, af
ter neighbors reported they had
not seen Roberts, who was about
70 years old, for 16 days.
Mrs. Roberts who was about 33
years old was said not to have
been outside the old house, which
once provided the background for
the couple’s former splendor, in
20 years.
Police entered the Cleveland
Heights home through a window
after seeing the couple lying on a
bed. A dog their only companion,
trotted complacently along with
with the officers until they reach
ed the bedroom. The dog refused
to permit the officers to enter and
they were forced to shoot it.

action which would break the
unanimity of the big five powers
on the atomic question.

being used for military traffic.”
An allied diplomat said the con
centration of Yugoslav troops at
Skoplje probably was connected
with the complaint before the se
curity council that her northern
neighbors — Yugoslavia, Albania
and Bulgaria—were aiding anti
government guerrillas. ,
The United Nations security
council voted unanimously last
night to send a commission to the
Balkans to investigate the border
troubles.
Another report said approxi
mately 3,500 Greeks trained at the
Bulkjes, Yugoslavia, camp and
wearing Britisi and American
battle dress, had passed through
Belgrade since Nov. 25.
It was officially announced that
300 guerrillas had been killed, 300
more wounded and an additional
500 captured in northern Greece
during the last two weeks.
