I A four- engine Navy plane with 11 men aboard crashed and burned on a hillside on the rugged, heavily timbered Olympic Peninsula Wednesday night. A farm family's report of seeing flames about three hours after the first mushrooming flames signaled the wilderness disaster raised a slim hope that some one may have survived. Navy officials said the plane car ried signal flares, but they expres sed doubt that the report flares were sent up by any survivor 'of the crash. In the face of heavy night rain and early morning fog, searchers tried by land and air to find the crashed plane But in mid-morning Thursday fog and snow in the crash area northwest of Shelton grounded search planes and helicopters. Ground parties numbering 100 men were in the area, and SO Army men from Fort Lewis pre pared to join the search. Slim Hop Offered Reports of the flaming crash of the low-flying Privateer from the Sand Point Naval Air Station at Seattle led to a belief overnight that no one could have survived. However, Mr. and Mrs. Don Ragan raised a, slim hope today with a report of having seen two white flares shoot skyward about three hours after the crash. They sad they were sitting in a car with Deputy Sheriff Dick Val ley of Mason County when they saw the flares beyond the ridge that faces their home in the area of the earlier flames. Ragan said they all agreed that it was too long after the original fire and after-flashes to have been the latter. They said there could not have been any searchers in the area at that time and the flares1 upward courses eliminated the chance of their having been dropped by search planes. Kaian reported early in the eve ning having seen a large plane fly ing low and "a big flash when she hit."

Wimberly's court MORSE MAY GET BID Invitation To Democratic Party Caucus Suggested By Minnesota Senator WASHINGTON Sen. Humphrey (D-Minn.) said to day Democratic senators should welcome Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon into their party caucus if he wants to come. Morse, turning against President-elect Dwight D. Ei senhower during the presidential campaign, quit the Re publican party to support Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of Il linois, the Democratic nominee, and declared himself an independent. Whether Republican senators will take reprisals against Morse in the new Senate convening Jan. 3. possibly depriving him of his present choice committee assign ments, is uncertain. Morse now holds places on the Armed Services and Labor Committees. Humphrey, a leader of th "New Deal-Fair Deal' wing of the Demo cratic party, told a reporter the Democrats should throw open the door to Morse. On the other hand, Humphrey said that Democratic senators who "turn their backs on the national party ticket also ought to receive their reward" in less preferential treatment. The matter of reprisals against Democrats who "supported the opposition" should be considered in connection with committee as signments, Humphrey said, at the Making his country s major pol icy address to the U. N.'s 60 nation General Assembly, Yeh said the Chinese Reds have suffered such huge casualties that the Pei ping government does not dare to face its people "empty-handed." Although it is commonly as sumed that only the question of sending home prisoners is holding up a truce, Yeh declared, the fundamental problem is that the Reds do not want a truce unless it will "solidify and strengthen the ranks of world Communism." Yeh pointed out that some dele gations have sought to solve the repatriation problem through trans fer of prisoners to the care of neu tral countries. But, he said, this might turn out to be only a delayed manner of forcibly sending home those Communist prisoners who have said they don't want to go. The Communists, Yeh said, could be expected to put "direct and in direct pressure" on the prisoners once they were temporarily in their neutral refuges. Yeh charged that Soviet Russia has substituted "satcllization" for the imperialism of the past and asserted that the Communist re gime in Peiping "is as completely a Soviet puppet as the Communist regime in North Korea." He charged mat the Chinese Reds had kept themselves In power by executing 14 million persons during the past five years, and that millions more have been con demned to a "living death."

Hunt (D.-Wyo.), said anyone who used the Democratic party to get nominated and then support the Republicans "doesn't belong in the Democratic caucus." Neither Hunt nor Humprey call ed any names. Senator-elect Price Daniel of Texas, a Democrat who had Re publican endorsement, campaigned openly for Eisenhower. Sen. Harry F.
