EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Tues., Aug. 21, 1962 Pag 3A Brazilian Jet Crash Kills 12 RIO DE JANEIRO I A Brazilian jetliner with 102 per sons aboard skidded off the runway on takeoff Monday night, plowed through a thick concrete seawall and dived in flames into Guanabara Bay. Most of the passengers were rescued or scrambled to safety. Officials said at least 12 persons were killed and 21 hospital ized with shock, burns and other injuries in Brazil's fourth ma jor air disaster in 10 months. The big DC8 stayed afloat for 15 minutes after hitting the waiur ana men sanK to tne mud- ry bottom in 15 feet of water. "Some bodies may still be in the plane," a fire department of ficial said. Officials said 11 passengers were missing but some were known to have survived and left the airport without notify ing anyone. The Panair do Brasil airliner carrying 92 passengers and crew of 10 stopped over here on a flight from Buenos Aires, Ar gentina, to Lisbon, Portugal.

The plane was taking off from Galeao Airport on Gover nor's Island near Rio when it went out of control. An airline official said the pilot, Renalo Cesar, reported that when he tried to lift the DC8 off the runway it failed to respond normally. The aircraft's radio operator, Osmar Anlerio Ferrcira, said one engine began shaking as the plane approached the take off point. "The pilot tried to stop the plane," he said, "but it was go ing too fast and we skidded off the end of the runway and crashed into the water." Witnesses said the plane veered off the runway at a 30 degree angle, plowed through a thick, 4-foot-high reinforced concrete wall and across a road, and plunged into the bay. Two engines were ripped off before the plane stopped in deep mud and about 15 feet of water some 50 yards from shore. The tide pulled the wreckage about 500 yards far ther out. Salim Naiur, one of the pas sengers, said the plane's right wing was on fire when the air craft hit the water. Panair said 75 passengers boarded the plane in Rio and seven in Sao Paulo. The remain ing 10 presumably boarded in Buenos Aires, a spokesman said. strike last week, remained off the job. S. Paul Styles, chief of indus trial relations at the center, said the Corps of Engineers es timated that 68 per cent were on the job. But the absence of the 150 electricians, whose strike trig gered the mass walkout last Tuesday, left work stymied on the Saturn test tower, part of this nation's Moonshot program. Styles estimated that about 48 per cent of the construction force was on the job Monday, when the back-to-work move ment started. The strike began last Tuesday when 150 members of Local 558 of the AFL-CIO's International Brotherhood of Electrical Work ers set up picket lines. They were protesting employ ment of non-union electricians by a subcontractor, Baroco Elec trical Construction Co. of Pen sacola, Fla.

The FBI, which entered the case Monday niglit, declined to say whether it suspected kidnap ing of the two youngsters, Rita Ohigrcn and Maria Teresa Mor ley. Maj. Russell A. llawes. Alex andria police chief, said his men were working under the assump tion that the two playmates were "probably induced to get into an automobile by a sex maniac and that they are either captive or dead." "We might as well face that unless a very unusual set of cir cumstances is involved," said. to overcome the gap. Answering congressional criti cism of the military space ef fort, McNamara told a news con ference the Kennedy adminis tration was spending three times as much on such pro grams this year as was spent in fiscal 1960. He said the figure was twice that of fiscal 1961. McNamara made the state ments when questioned about criticisms leveled by Sens. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., and Howard W.

Officers Examine Nine Money Bags BOSTON (P) Nine money bags found by state police in Andover were given laboratory he tests Tuesday to see if they have any connection with the Body of Executed Slayer Lies Unclaimed in Salem SALEM on The body of Lee Roy Sanford McGahuey, execut ed Monday, still lay unclaimed Tuesday morning at the Oregon State Hospital morgue. A sister had been expected to claim the body, said Warden Clarence T. Gladden of the Ore gon State Prison. But the sister did not appear Monday. An aunt said she would have arranged for a burial "if I had the funds." The Veterans Administration may save McGahuey from a nameless grave, Gladden said. He said McGahuey was an en listed man with the Air Force for three years during World War II. McGahuey was pronounced dead at 12:23 a.m. Monday morn ing. He died for the Feb. 13, 1961, slaying of 23-month-old Rod Cameron Holt.

Both of the mothers were un der sedation. Rita and Maria, her next-door friend, were last seen playing in front of their modern, garden-type apartment development about 5 p.m. Sunday.

Morse, D-Ore broke up a session of the Senate For-' cign Relations Committee Tues-; day and served notice he would try to block any more bills to spend U.S. funds abroad this year. Morse's move came as the committee was conducting a routine hearing on House-approved legislation to authorize $53,899,000 for U. S. diplomatic buildings abroad and some re lated bills. The Oregon Democrat told fellow committee members he was opposed to all bills except one forbidding future construc tion of foreign chanceries in residential areas of the District of Columbia. He also said he would object to the committee meeting while the Senate was in session. Morse later went to the Senate floor to make his objection of ficial but Chairman J. William Fulhright. D-Ark.. already had recessed the meeting. First, however, the commit tee tentatively approved the foreign buildings bill with the restriction on future chanceries here added as an amendment. Morse told the Senate he was unimpressed by State Depart ment arguments that the build ings are needed to keep up the standard of V. S. representation abroad. Domestic needs such as slum clearance, he said, should come ahead of any foreign building. Portland Scout oaves 9-Year-Old NEWPORT.

Students Depart ROTTERDAM Some 600 American students left for the United States Tuesday after m-n.mnnih visit to Europe, Asia and Africa, under auspices of the American Field Service. BEST BUYS FOR... Ism who is in charge of the investi gation, made the disclosure at a news conference. White issued an appeal through newsmen for any per son who might have seen the mail truck the night of the rob bery to furnish whatever infor mation they possess to police, the FBI or postal inspectors. The head of the Massachu setts Stale Police, Frank S. said the police pulled out only after the postal service had in formed them that other ar rangements had been made. The other arrangements, said Giles was supposed to have I been private escorts. A gang hijacked an unarmor cd, unescorted U.S. mail van in Plymouth, on its way from Cape Cod to the Federal Reserve Bank in Boston. Giles said the state police pro tection was taken off the private carriers because of a heavy workload this summer. One of the factors in the add ed workload, he said, was the weekend visits to Cape Cod by President John F. Kennedy. "We had seven men stationed down there during his trips," he said. "And the extra work brought on by the thousands of Giles, said his department had ! vacationers to Cape Cod also been "thrown a curve" last week when it was agreed the postal inspectors would head the probe. Giles added: "We're not out of this yet." Giles said state police had re quested to be relieved of pro viding escorts for the U.S. Post Office Department's hauling large sums of money. But he left us short-handed." The robbery, believed to have been by five men and a woman, was the largest cash haul in the nation's history. The former record was the $1,219,000 Brink's robbery in 1950, also in Boston. Most of the mail robbery was in small bills, unmarked and easily passable, authorities said. McNamara said the twin or bital flights of Soviet cosmon auts Andrian Nikolayev and Pavel Popovich were a "great accomplishment." But he said they would not in themselves spark an expanded space effort in this country. The defense chief added, how ever, that he did not want to create a "misimprcssion" in giv ing that answer. He said "we are behind in certain space de velopments, particularly those involving large boosters." McNamara said the Kennedy administration set out in early 1961 to overtake and surpass the Soviets. A primary example of this effort, he said, was the huge Tital III space booster or dered into production Monday. Further efforts to "overcome this deficiency" of American booster rockets will be made in the new military budget which President Kennedy will send to Congress -next January, he said. Pending bigger boosters, "we are not able to match the feat" of the Soviet twin cosmonauts, McNamara said. But he told newsmen the Titan 111 will be able to boost payloads "far in (excess ot anything demonstrat- cd by the Soviets to date." He said the Titan HI would have between two and three times "closer to three" the thrust generated by the present Russian big booster. In reply to questions by the newsmen, McNamara said: A question was asked about reports that the Soviet Union now may have the means to neutralize U. S. missile opera tions. McNamara's reply was "I see no immediate possibility of the Soviets being in any way able to restrict" operations of the U. S. missile systems. It has been apparent for some time that the Soviets use boasters far stronger than ours, so that the twin satellite feat "did not surprise us." But, he added, "it is important to recog nize" thai th" Sovl"' honstnrs now are far larger than our.
