(Continued from Page 11
As word of the meeting leaked
out, Nimitz and Blandy were
mentioned more and more prom
mently in speculation over the
new chief of naval operations.
Nimitz or Blandy
Some observers felt that Ni
mitz has the prestige to slop the
navy's part of the interservice
squabbling with a minimum of
hard feelings. Should he be
brounght back to his old post of
chief of naval operations, it was
believed that after a few months
he would be succeeded by Sher
man. One Pentagon source recalled
that when Delfeld was appoin
ted in 1947 for a two-year term
as chief of naval operations,
was reported that Blandy was in
line to get the next two years
However, Matthews insisted last
summer that Mr. Truman name
Denfeld for two more years.
Blandy is now Atlantic fleet
commander.

Bridge Foreman Ted Kuenzl in
consultation with the court was
directed to install a wooden
bridge to make up the equivalent
of two 48-inch culverts as It Is
estimated this will cost about
half the expense of the pipe first
considered and will serve for
several years until the drainage
program is fully developed.
The county also will start Im
mediate work on deepening the
ditch north of the Silverton road
near Hollywood avenue which

Bolivian Plane
(Continued from Paire 1)
The airliner crashed at the Po
tomac river's edge. Bodies of the
passengers were flung over an
area of 150 yards. Many appar
ently were lost in the river.
The fighter plane carried only
the pilot.
One of those aboard the pas
senger plane was reported to be
Rep. George J. Bates, Massachu
setts republican. There was no
immediate word as to his fate.
Eastern Airlines listed him as a
passenger.
The smaller plane, a P-38, re
cently bought from the United
States, plunged into the Potomac
river and sank. Bridoux had
been testing the plane before
flying it to Bolivia.
The airliner was a four-engine
DC-4. It cleared Boston this
morning and, after a stop at New
York, was coming in for a land
ing at Washington at the time of
the collision.
Government officials said the
Bolivian government bought the
two P-38 planes from the U.S.
about three or four weeks ago
for the Bolivian air force.
One was sent to Bolivia. The
other has been kept here pend
ing routine clearance.
The two planes struck while
in the air. Those who saw the
collision said there was an ex
plosion on the airliner. They
said there was undoubtedly a
heavy loss of life.
Eastern Airlines identified the
flight at number S37.
It left Boston at 0 a.m. and
had stopped at New York.
It cleared LaGuardia airport
at about 10:30 and was due to
land at Washington at 11:48
Half Mile From Port
The collision occurred about
half a mile south of the airport
over Mount Vernon boulevard
which runs from the nation's
capitol through Alexandria, Va
to Mt. Vernon, the home of
George Washington.
Skies were overcast but visi
bility was unlimited and the ceil
ing was several thousand feet.
Two military airports are lo
cated across the Potomac river
immediately adjacent to Nation
al airport.
First reports said the smaller
plane disintegrated immediately
after the collision.
All available ambulances and
doctors were called Immediately
to the scene.

turned. Upon being ordered to
leave Stevenson said that Lu

her quarters and interferred.
