Seventh Plane In
Three Weeks Has
Canadian Crackup
DONJEK RIVER, Y. T., (jp)—
The seventh large military plane
to come to disaster in the north
west area of Canada and the
United States within the past
three weeks crashed yesterday on
an icy lake between here and
Northway, Alaska.
Only one of th<? four Canadians
and 10 Americans aboard was in
jured. The plane, a Canadian Da
kota (C-47), was participating in
Exercise Sweetbriar, the joint
U. S.-Canadian Artcic maneuver.
Land vehicles are being sent to
aid the crashed plane which piled
up eight miles from the Alaska
Highway near Snag.
It was another chapter in a dis
aster-ridden three weeks for mil
itary aircraft throughout the
northwest.
The series of tragedies began
when a U.S.A.F. C-54 vanished
■Jan. 26 with 44 persons aboard
while flying from Anchorage,
Alaska, to Great Falls, Mont. No
si fn of the plane has been found
since, but the search continues.
Two C-47’s participating in the
st ■rcli fo rthe C-54, cracked up
o' all occupants of both planes
were rescued. Another C-54, also
p, i icipating in the search for the
big transport, piled up out of out
of Great Falls, killing three per
sons.
Then Monday night, 17 persons
p: rachuted from an ice-sheathed, I
burning B-36 off the northern1
Bt.tish Solumbia coast. Twelve of
the 17 have been recovered, but
five are still missing.
■ A B-29 cracked up Wednesday j
morning near Great Falls shortly t
after toking off to aid in the hunt j
for the B-36. Eight crewmen per-!
ishi d in the flames.

A. Polet was scheduled to leave
today with Wien Airlines for

Vogeler’s Aides
‘Confess’ to Spying
BUDAPEST, Hungary, (/P) —
American businessman Robert
Vogeler’s British assistant and
two Hungarians confessed in
court today to spying for the west,
but the court skipped over Voge
ler in the first day of Hungary’s
newest spy trial.
'Theer was no indication whe-!
ther the court’s action meant that
Vogeler has refused to plead guil
ty along with the others. The gov
ernment had announced previous
ly that he had confessed).
The British assistant, Edgar
Sanders, testified in a firm voice
that he was guilty of seeking out
information on Hungary’s mili
tary, economic and political situa-1
tion and passing it on to his su- j
periors.
Vogeler, an assistant vice presi-1
dent and European representative
of International Telephone and
Telegraph Co., is on trial with
Sanders, his British assistant, and
five Hungarians. One defendant
is a Catholic priest, another a
barmaid.
The indictment against Sanders,
read in court today, charged he
had been a British spy since 1940.
Britain charged in a note last
night that Hungary had violated
standards of civilization and jus
tice in preparing for Sanders’trial.
The first two defendants to be
called, Imre Geiger and Zoltan
Rado, confessed to spying and sa
botage. Geger is the Hungarian
managing director of I. T. & T.
Budapest branch. Rado, a former!
government employee, is listed in
the indictment as a “ministry
chief of section.”
Geiger told the court he became
a U. S. agent in 1946 and deliver
ed spy reports “prepared in five
copies” to various Americans. He
said that since 1949 Vogeler re
ceived the reports. Geiger said an
escape from Hungary was pre
pared for him by the U. S. lega
tion in Vienna but that he and his
family were arrested last Novem
ber on the train, before it reached
the border.

TO PROCESS BUFFALO MEAT
SYDNEY, Australia, (#•) — A
buffalo meat processing plant
may shortly be established in
Northern Australia. About 17,000
head of buffalo are shot each year
in the area between Darwin and
the Alligator River, 150 miles
eastwards. Hunters take only the
hides, leaving the carcases to rot.
The company intends to process
the buffalo carcases into bone
meal, meatmeal, and fertilizers.
the government are at liberty to
buy tickets to the Democrat $100
a-plate dinner last night and Mr.
Truman doesn’t think that infring
es on their civil rights.
9. The President isn’t listing,
yet, all States in which he may
campaign after this year’s primar
ies but he told news men he’ll
take they on a non-political tour
one of these days.
“you intentionally omitted
‘damn’.”
“Yes,” the President said, “but
you can put it in if you like.”
Mr. Truman said that he him
self is not disgruntled in the
slightest.
“Why*should you be?” a woman
columnist, Doris Fleeson, asked.
She added “We think our busi
ness is quite important.”
Sometimes I m not so sure, Mr.
Truman came back.
After the atmospheer had clear
ed a bit, the President said in re
sponse to questions that:
1. He doesn’t think the time has
arrived to send Chief Justice Vin
son to Russia but the door always
is open for discussion of atomic
controls. This doesn’t need any
dramatization.
2. There will have to be a wait
to see whether California oilman
George Luckey drew the right
conclusion tht Mr. Truman will
run for President again in 1952.
