GIVES UP SEARCH
WASHINGTON H'PO The
Army has officially given up hope
of finding the 93 troops. 3 Viet
namese and 11 crew members
aboard U.S. plane that crashed
in the Pacific March 16.
"The most extensive sea and

Pacific flight failed to locate any
trace of the Flying Tiger Line
Constellation, its crew or its pas-
sengers,'
the Army said Tues-
day.
Russians told
they must yield

GENEVA (UPD- Britain said
today tbe Soviet Union must
change its attitude toward verifi
cation measures if the world is
to have general and complete dis
armament. British Minister of State Joseph
Godber told the 17-nation Disar
mament Conference that the
Kremlin's position on verification
is "just not good enough." He
strongly criticized the Soviet Un
ion for refusing to compromise.
Godber was the first speaker as
the conference resumed after a
four-day recess. He was followed
by U.S. Ambassador Arthur H.
Dean who explained the first parts
of an American outline for a
treaty.
Dean came to an agreement
with Soviet delegate Semyon K.
Tsarapkin that the nuclear test
ban subcommittee should meet
again Thursday afternoon. Parti
cipants in the subcommittee talks
are Russia, Britain and the United
States.
There had been fears the Rus
sians would stall the subcommit
tee's meetings indefinitely to pro
test the U.S. resumptinn of nuclear
testing.
Godber told the conference "my
confidence in their (Russian) will
to achieve general and complete
disarmament is much shaken by
their attitude on this vital ques
tion of verification, as displayed
during the last week or two."

The Americans said they were

Quinn and Groom told U.S. of

Blast touches
off rioting
by Moslems
ALGIERS, Algeria (UPD Ter
rorists blew up a booby-trapped
automobile in the midst of a
ciowd of Moslem dock workers
today, killing and wounding doz
ens and setting off violent Mos
lem noting.
The blast was believed to be
the work of the outlawed Secret
Army Organization.
Police said at least eiclit were
killed and 100 injured in the ex
plosion. But they said the figures
probably would rise sharply. One
Moslem bystander said he count
ed at least 30 dead and 70
wounded.
Many of the dock workers had
taken their children with them to
the hiring shed near where the
explosion occurred, since they
felt the youngsters were safer
there than elsewhere in the city.
Reliable reports said six children
between the ages of 9 and 14 were
among the injured.
Enraged Moslems rioted after
the explosion. They caught one Eu
ropean and slit his throat.
French security forces cordoned
off the area and sent in Moslem
nationalist police in an attempt
to quiet the howling Moslems.
Casbah off Limits
The tension spread to Moslem
quarters of the city as the in
jured were carried to hospitals.
The Casbah was off limits to Eu
ropeans who valued their lives.
Police sent home office workers
near the blast scene along the
waterfront.
Europeans driving cars gave
edges of the Moslem quarters a
wide berth as news of the ex
plosion spread. The OAS attack
was one of many designed to pro
voke the Moslems into extreme
violence and thus break the
cease-fire agreement signed in
March.
French security forces put into
operation immediate precautions
to keep the Moslem and Euro
pean communities separated after
the bombing.
Armored cars moved into posi
tion in Government Place. I he
streets leading into the lower
Casbah were blocked with barbed
wire guarded by French Army
troops.
An estimated 1,300 Moslem
dockworkers were on hand when
the blast went off. The bomb ap
parently had been timed to ex
plode when the crowd was at its
largest as the men waited in lines
for work cards.
Like Giant Grenade
Police sources said the booby-
trapped car apparently had been
filled with bits of iron, giving it
the effect of a giant grenade when
it exploded scattering deadly
fragments of Iron, glass, stone
and bits of the car over a 200
yard radius. Where the car had
stood there was only a crater
eight or ten feet wide and three
feet deep.
Today's explosion followed a
similar though not so spectacular
attack Tuesday on Moslem work
ers in Bone, where three gre
nades were hurled into a crowd
of dockers and injured 21.
In another section of Algiers,
OAS gunmen in a car sped
through a street, spraying bullets.
Four Moslems were killed and
four Injured in this attack.

as president
of university
WASHINGTON (UPD-Elvis J.
Stahr Jr. 46, resigned today as
secretary of the Army to become
president of Indiana University.
President Kennedy accepted
Stahr's resignation with "regret
ant' reluctance."
He praised the secretary for
providing "an outstanding exam
ple of good management."
Stahr will be returning to the
college ranks when he takes over
Uie Indiana University presidency
July 1. When named by Kennedy
to Uie Army post in January,
1961, he was serving as president
of West Virginia University.
Pentagon observers sale' Army
Undersecretary Stephen Ailes
looks like Uie best bet to succeed
Stahr in Uie Pentagon position
unless Kennedy and Defense Sec
retary Robert S. McNamaia have
a previously unmeiitioned outsider
in mind.
Ailes, 50, a native of Romney,
W.Va., is highly regarded in Uie
Defense Department and is recog
nized as one of Uie most active
undersecretaries in recent years.
Kennedy wrote Stahr: "I know
that Secretary McNamara, and
your colleagues, bom civilian and
military, join with me in express
ing our thanks for your loyal co
operation. "You can take up your new and
important post at Indiana Univer
sity wiUi great satlsfacUon of a
Job well done, and a service truly
performed for Uie government and
Uie people of our country," Uie
President said.
In his letter of resignation.
Stahr said the Indiana University
trustees offered him the presi
dency AprU 27, effective upon Uie
July 1 retirement of President
Herman B. Wells.
Reluctant to Leave -Stahr
told Uie President he
would be reluctant to leave Uie
government "were it not that Uie
Army has moved. . .to a distinct
ly higher plateau and our basic
objectives for it have now been
clearly mapped and moved far
along the road to accomplish
ment." On two recent occasions, Stahr
and the Army donied that he was
planning to resign. On March 5,
the secretary denied a report he
was considering the Indiana job.
I am not considering leaving
Uie government to accept that or
any other position." he said.
On April 17, the Army ollictaliy
denied a published report by Uie
Washington Daily News that btalir
was on his way out because of
his dissatisfacUon over a plan to
revamp Uie National Guard and
reserves.
A department spokesman also
denied at Uiat time Uiat Stahr
had had a "shouting conversation"
wiUi Defense Secretary Robert S.
McNamara.
But Stahr was known to have
been disappointed also by Uie ad
ministration's decision not to seek
preproduction money for the Ar
my's Nike Zeus antimissile mis
sile, which is about to be tested
in the Pacific.
Stahr is Uie second top echelon
Pentagon official to loave since
Uie Kennedy administration took
office. John B. Connolly resigned
as Navy secretary to seek tht
governorship in Texns.
Stahr Is known as a prolession-
