WORLD HEADLINES LONDON, Thursday, Oct. 21 (AP) — A-Royal Dutch airlines (KLM) Constellation bound from Amsterdam to New York crashed near Prestwick, Scotland, early today and first unofficial reports said at least 30 were believed dead. KLM officials in London and Glasgow said “we have no informa tion about the crash and don’t even know whether there were any casual ties at all.” The officials added: “Communications are bad and un til they improve we are largely in the dark.” A Mrs. Faraday, wife of a Tarbol ton village policeman, was quoted by the British Press association as eaying: “I understand there are forty dead and six survivors so far. The plane was burned out.” KLM could not confirm this. Of ficials said they were not sure of the exact number of passengers and crew members. The plane was reported to have cut telephone wires when it crashed, making it difficult to get information from the scene. KLM officials said the plane was a Constellation. They expressed the belief it may have had as many as SO passengers and crewmen aboard. Hospitals in the Prestwick area said they wire told to stand by to receive casualties, but none had ar rived immediately. The KLM office in Glasgow said it had no particulars. “It may be hours before we have any definite information,” one offi cial said. Press association said it had been told by unofficial sources at least thirty were believed dead. Some of the bodies were reported charred beyond recognition. These accounts said rescuers were groping through turnip fields trying to find injured victims and picking up the bodies of the dead. KLM officials said the plane, a Constellation, was believed to be car rying 36 to 40 passengers and crew men. They said they “presumed all the passengers were Dutch.” They said they were unable to check the passenger list immediately, twice over the village of Targolton, in the highland overlooking the Ayr shire coast. It is believed the plane struck electric wires on the approach to the airport. Telephone and power lines were damaged in the area. First news of the crash came through messages from the Prest wick airport controller who or 17 dered hospitals in the area to stand by to receive the injured. Glasgow police said Farmer Thomas Neil on whose farm the plane came down told them he saw some badly burned bodies but did not know how many were killed. The plane, which was scheduled to stop briefly at Prestwick, was de scribed as a total wreck. Debris was scattered for hundreds of yards in flaming masses. Residents of neighboring villages joined policemen in the rescue work. Four survivors were reported tak en to a hospital at nearby Manchline.
