Fight Not Cause
Of Plane Crash
LOS ANGELES, July 14 UP)
Civil Aeronautics Board offi
cials Ray that low flying and not
a fight caused the crash and ex
plosion of a non-scheduled air
finer which cost 35 lives and in
juries to 14.
Stewardess Charlotte Grenand
er, 23, told authorities yesterday
that the scrap aboard the Stand
ard Airlines' twin-engine C-46
Commando was only a one-punch
affair. She said it occurred an
hour before the crash in the
rugged Santa Susana Mountains
30 miles north of downtown Los
Angeles Tuesday.
She named Frank Conway, Al
bany, N. Y., who was killed, as
the "man who struck his seatmate.
Miss Grcnander added that there
was no trouble after the pilot,
Capt. Roy G. White, came back
and tamea to uonway.
James N. Peyton, regional
CAB chief, said the aircraft was
on course for an instrument ap
proach landing at Lockheed air
terminal, Burbank, but was 2000
feet too low. He said a smasnca
altimeter registered 1940 feet.
Peyton added that low fog may
have obscured the pilot's vision,
although fog was not believed to
have been abnormally neavy.

Canada's restrictions on U. S.

indications are, thut rather than
lift them, parliament may slap
on new ones when it meets in

"If Canada's dollar reserve de

Restrictions on U. S. lettuce, to

to the move In Congress to trim
federal spending. In the Senate,
for example, more than 60 Sen
a tors Democrats and Republi
cans have signed a petition
urging action on a resolution di
recting the president to cut ap
propriations for the current fis
cal year by from five to 10 per
cent.
Warns Against Error Now
Mr. Truman explained that he
is dropping his request for a $4.-
000,000,000 tax increase because
he does not want to inlure the
economic health of the country.
indicating tne alternative is red
ink spending, he added:
"You cannot achieve a surplus
In the government budget when
you have a declining national
economy. ... If we follow the
wrong budget policy at this time
and slash our expenditures, we
will decrease employment, cut
down Investment, weaken our
defenses, and injure our efforts
for peace."
Senator McClellan (D.-Ark.),
chief sponsor of the economy
resolution, commented that there
are certain contemplated expendi
tures for public works "that
would of course stimulate our
economy." but he added:
"There are other savings that
can and should be made, and it
is the duty of the President and
the Congress Jointly to bring
about such economics.
Republicans Fire Back
Republicans let loose with hot
ter criticism. Said House minor
ity leader Martin of Massachu
setts:
Every day the Democratic 81st
Congress is in session makes the
Republican 80th Congress Iook
better. The President may be
fooling himself, but he Isn't fool-
? many other people.
'If cutting taxes last year was
such an awful blunder, l don t
know why the president lsn t
standing by his original request
for a $4,000,000,000 tax increase."
Senator Millikln (K.-coioj,
who steered the GOP-sponsored
tax reduction through the Senate
last year, remarked:
"The President does not now
understand the value of the tax
cut any more than he did at the
time it was enacted over his veto.
The tax reduction put $5,000,000,
000 into the hands of most people
for their own spending the most
dynamic spending of all.
"If there had not been a cut,
goodness only knows how deep
the present depression would
have plunged."
But one Republican who voted
for the tax reduction said he now
regards it as "a mistake one of
the very few the 80th congress
made." Senator Flanders of Ver
mont, noting Mr. Truman's criti
cism of the cut, remarked:
"He's got us there all right. I
voted for It, knew I was doing
wrong at the time, and have re
gretted It ever since."

where the warning of the Pope
to the faithful to avoid expos
ing themselves to Communists
doctrines ana writings, also could
have a heavy effect.
The concern the Communists
apparently feel in France is re
fleeted in the official French
Communist newspaper L'Human

Vatican, the newspaper termed
the decree "pure totalitarianism."
The decree, announced by the
sacred congregation of the Holy
office which is In charge of
protecting the faith and ap
proved by the Pontiff is inter

sources to be a last warning to
Catholics who may be leaning
toward Communism.
The decree marks the fourth

Stampede To "Weeping Virgin"
Kills Woman; 19 Persons Hurt
WARSAW. Poland. Julv 14.
CP) The official Polish Press
Agency blames the Roman Cath
olic hierarchy for circumstances
leading to the death of a woman
and injuries to 19 other persons
in a stampeae to witness a "weep
ing virgin" portrait in Lublin.
ine agency,' organ of the Com-
munist-'led: government, said yes
terday Catholic leaders had "de
liberately" encouraged a mass
pilgrimage to the eastern Polish
City. 1
A throng o: lOO.OOO Poles from
all over the country, believing
mat prayer betore the portrait
would bring miraculous cures,
swarmed around the Lublin Ca
thedral, the agency reported. In
the stampede a wooden stockade
collapsed, killing the woman and
injuring the others, the agency
said.
Government officials said per
sons spreading rumors about the
reported miracle would be prose
cuted. '.
The agency cttarged that the
Catholic hierarchy had allowed
nuns and pri sts to lead the pil
grimage. It said the Church
leaders later admitted there was
"no ground for thinking that a
miracle had occurred." The agen
cy also said there was reason
to believe the pilgrimage was
"organized for purposes other
than religion."
It started when six blind Poles
were said to have regained their
sight alter kneeling before the
portrait. Priests had reported
tears of blood coming from the
eyes in the picture.
There was no comment from
Catholic churchmen on the press
agency's charges.
Condemnation of the Catholics
came shortly after the Vatican
broadcast of the papal decree ex
communicating Catholics who
embrace Communism. Poland is
97 percent Catholic.

treated. The patient does not
have to pay for treatment.
The government pays the den

patients under his care and the
kind of treatment given.
Commenting on the case, Sir

lieve that the patients received
the painstaking, careful attention
which we have a right to expect
in our service."
