Dread Illness
DENVER. Dee. KM -A tiny
girl who mad a great recovery
from tuberculosis meningitis left
here last night with her mother
for their home at Weston, Ore.
They were ro-united at a Den
ver hospital after being aeparated
more than a year.
"I didn't think she would know
me," Mrs. Bonnie Warren, 33,
aaid of her daughter, Janel. 33
months. "But I asked her if she
could give her mother a hug and
she came directly to me. It was
a wonderful feeling."
Janel and her brother Larry,
now JO months old and who was
suffering from pulmonary tuber
culosis, were flown here by the
Air Force from Walla Walla in
November, 1955. to be treated at
National Jewish Hospital. Larry
recovered sufficiently to return
home a month ago. "
Doctors called the girl's recov
ery one' ot the most remarkably
successful fights against the dis
ease in the hospital's history. Un
til a lew years ago tuberculosis
meningitis waa always fatal. But
new techniques and drugs now are
making It possible to save some
of the victims.

In Plane Crash
TYRONE, Pa., Dec. 20 (AP)
Alden Roach, 55-year-old
president of the Columbia
Geneva Division of U.S. Steel
Corp., was killed tonight in
the crash -of a U.S. Steel twin-
engine plane which reportedly
exploded before smashing to bits
on a hleak mountain side near
here.
U.S. -Steel officials said the pilot,
Roy Rollo ot Los Angeles, also
died in the crash.
Tyrone firemen,1 who first re
ported finding three bodies, said
later they could definitely ac
count for but -two. They said these
were badly mangled, making iden
tification difficult.
The plane crashed on a flight
from Greater Pittsburgh Airport
to Idlewild Airport at New York.
The remote area where it hit is
about 90 miles northeast of Pitts
burgh.
A U. S. Steel pilot said Rollo's
copilot was L. T. Williarrn) of Sun-
land. Calif., adding: .
"We are reasonably certain that
he was aboard on takeoff.
Police planned to examine de
bris of the plane at daybreak.
Firemen said the two bodies
they found were near the plane
but that n effort would be made
to bring them out tonight.
Roach was definitely the only
passenger aboard, a U.S. Steel
spokesman said. He was a resi
dent of San Francisco. .
The executive bad been in Pitts
burgh attending a meeting of U.S.
Steel executives. , .
' Mrs. Margaret Gepsic, 30, who
lives near" theerash scene, said
she heard "a very loud noise and
went to my back door because I
thought an airplane Was going to
hit the house," adding:
"I saw a big explosion -in the
air and then nothing at all."
" Roach, 55, a native of St. Louis
and father of three children, has
been- president of Columbia-Geneva
Division since jt was consoli
dated from two Western U.S.
Steel divisions in 1951.

Missile Plan
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil. Dec.
20 ( Differences over who
should man the proposed guided
missile station on Brazilian terri
tory appeared today to have
stalled negotiations between the
United States and Brazil.
A vaguely worded announcement
earlier this week by the Brazilian
Foreign Office indicated an agree
ment had been reached.
The United States considers Im
portant the establishment of the
station of Fernando de Noronha Is
land, 225 miles off Brazil's north
east coast.. The island lies in the
40-mile wide, 5,000-mile long guid
ed missile range between Florida
and Ascension Island in the South
Atlantic.
The U.S. proposal for a station
there met strong Brazilian ultra
nationalist and Communist oppo
sition. President Juscelino Kubit
schek's government, .apparently
trying to appease the opposition,
moved slowly and made a counter
proposal which Sources in Wash
ington said was not realistic.
The Brazilian proposal is that
the United States build the station
and that it be manned entirely by
Brazilians. Because of the complex
electronic equipment involved, the
United States was described as
feeling it would take too long to
train Brazilian technicians.
