CENTRAL OREGON'S Bend, Deschutes County, Oregon, Monday, March 21, 1955 12 Persons Die in Crash Missouri SPRINGFIELD, Mo., (UP) An American Airlines Convair plane with 35 persons aboard crashed in a muddy field while approaching Municipal Airport here last night, killing 12 and injuring 23. Two of the dead were crew members, co-pilot J. E. Walker and Stewardess Rita Madaj, both of Chicago. The airline, after a nightlong check of hospitals and funeral homes, issued a corrected list 'of dead and injured at dawn, some seven hours after the crash. None of the passengers were from the West. The plane, flight 711 out of New ark, N.J., bound for. Tulsa, Okla., crashed us it was coming in for a landing at Springfield. One of the survivors, B. H. Maye of Dishing, Okla., said there was no warning whatsoever of an Im pending crash. The plane plowed into a muddy, open field about a mile north of the airport. One witness reported a flash of light at the time of the crash, but the wreckage did not burn. Scream From Injured Mrs. Lloyd Blankenship, who lives nearby, said she and her hus band "heard screams for help and my husband ran to the scene." Persons living in the area not ified police the Convair had crashed." Ambulances were rushed to the scene, but bogged down in the mud. Some of the injured had to be carried a half-mile through ankle-deep mud to be loaded on the ambulances and taken to hospitals Bob Tubert, newsman for a Springfield radio station, said he saw 12 bodies near the wreckage. j "I carried two of the injured about a half-mile to ambulances, one ol them a two-year-old boy. Tubert said. "He appeared to be badly hurt. Tubert said the stewardess, Rita Madha, and First Officer J. E Walker, both of Chicago, were among those killed instantly in the crash. The pilot, Capt. Jack Pripish of Chicago, was pulled from the wreckage "in critical condition, Tubert said. Jammed In Corkplt The pilot and co-pilot, the news man said, were wedged Into the cockpit after the crash and had to be pried free. The stewardess' body was found behind a partition at the rear of the plane. The main body of the plane didn't break up, Tubert said. But the engines were torn loose and the wings sheared off. "There was wreckage and bodies scattered over about 400 yards," he said. The pilot, then still alive, didn't say a word as Tubert and others worked to free him, "but after we got him clear, he broke down and began yelling and screaming. He must have been in intense pain." The injured had to be carried to the ambulances; then volunteers helped get the vehicles out of mud holes and the ambulances rushed some of the injured to Springfield John's and still others to B u r g e Hospital.

Will- S'r K., George, Congress" leading pemocratie foreign policy spokes man, called Sunday night for a Big power meeting with Russia in an attempt to avert World War III. i He said he thinks President Ei senhower should confer with So viet Premier Nikolai Bulganln and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill "because I believe wo have reached the point where there Is real hope of making some adjustments'' in world tensions. "Some high-level conferences among the leading powers" are the "real hope of avoiding war," he added. Include!) Rod China The Georgia Democrat, chair man of the Senate Foreign Rela tions Committee, said leaders from Fiance and Red China also might be included in the conference. But he cautioned that too big a meeting would not accomplish much. Stale Department officials said George's proposal was "more or less" in line with the department'si thinking. But they pointed out that the administration has maintained I consistently that the United States should commit itself to such a con ference only when there are pros pects it will be more than a "propa ganda exercise." Authoritative sources In London said Britain definitely will be ready to consider a Big Three meeting. However, they said that if Churchill plans to retire he would not postpone his retirement. They viewed George's suggestion as pressure being brought to bear on Mr. Eisenhower. Welcomed By France French observers said the pro posed meeting would be welcomed in France, but only if France is represented. Premier Edgar Faure has expressed his opposition to any talks with the Russians until after ratification of the Paris accords. This agrees with the official U.S. and British views. George said such a meeting should come after ratification of the accords and after it Is known "what Issues are on the agenda and what is to be discussed." George said he is aware of tho danger of such meetings and how frequently conferences with Russia have proved futile in the postwar. years. "But we have reached the point where we can try," he said.

Expert WASHINGTON (UP) A top Air Force expert warns that Rus sia has the know-how to develop a surprise weapon within a few years which could tip the balance of military power in favor of the Soviets. The statement was made to a secret meeting of a House Appro priations Subcommittee by Lt. Gen. Donald L. Putt, chief of Ail Force research and development and a member of the Nation alAd- visory Committee for Aeronautics. His testimony was just made public. While Putt did not elaborate, he presumably referred to the danger that Russia will beat the United Stales to the pum:h in developing an intercontinental guided missile capable of carrying hydrogen war heads. The Uniled States is expected to have such o weapon ready for ac tual combat use within five to 10 years. Some military experts be lieve Russia has sacrificed some conventional weapons research in an effort to steal a march on this country in the missiles field. Gen. Putt, who said previously that Russia is fast overcoming this country's aviation lead, warned that he believes "the international situation could be changed dramat ically" by development of such a weapon, He joined other NACA scientists in praising the technical skills of Russian engineers. They also said Russia is turning out trained engineers much faster than the United States. Award Received By Sec.

Plan Rejected By Premier SAIGON, Indochina. (UP) American-backed Premier Ngo Dinh Diem angrily rejected an ultlmutum today from a coalition of three powerful religious sects to reshuffle his government in five dnys or face a possible civil warl A spokesman for Diem said 3ie Premier also warned that he would keep order in the strife torn country by force of arms if neces sary. The spokesman said that to hand over control of free Viet Nam to the sects would be to "offer the state to the Communists on a silver platlcr." "We will keep order by force and we have the means to do so," the spokesman said shortly after the sects presented their demands that Diem replace his present Cabinet with a group approved by them. Observers said Diem's best chance of ending the growing crisis was to split the seels' unity and deal with each of them in turn. Otherwise, they said, there was a serious chance of civil war.
