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

reported killed.
It was not determined im
mediately whether any Ameri
cans were aboard.
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

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

Spending Hit
By Morse
WASHINGTON 0IPI) Sen.
Wayne L. 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.

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.
