RCAFtoKeep On Searching For Airliner VANCOUVER, B.C. UI Mors than 11,000 square miles of moun tainous terrain have been covered in the 10-day aerial search for s North Star airliner and the 2 per sons aboard, the Royal Canadian Air Force said Wednesday night. The search for the four-engined plane, which vanished Dec. 9, has extended over a rectangle 100 miles wide stretching roughly from Princeton west to Chiiliwaclc In the upper Fraser Valley. Heartened Wednesday by the first break in nine days of harsh weather, 21 pilots flew over the Hope area but turned up no clues to the location of the Trans Canada Air Lines North Star. "But," said Sqdn. Ldr. George Sheshan, "we'll keep going right through the Christmas season, if necessary." AU ground search teams have been recalled. Some had spent several days camped In the mountains. Their efforts wera thwarted by deep snow and the danger of avalanches. One ground searcher said they sank deep in snow in spite of inowihoei. Pair in Wreck Get Sentence Jail sentences were handed Portland 'couple Wednesday In Marlon county district court after they pleaded guilty to charges filed after their car was involved in a wreck Tuesday evening north of Woodburn. Oron Castle Howard was sen tenced to 10 days and fined $250 on a charge of driving while intox icated and was fined $50 and sen tenced to 10 days on a charge of driving while his operator's license was suspended. The sentences are to run concurrently. Judge K. O. Stadler Jr. ruled. lone Bealty Howard was sen tenced to five days in jail after pleading guilty to being drunk on a public highway. Meanwhile, Dr. Edwin L. Hippy, president of the school board, said, "The board is naturally pleased with the decision of the court and will continue to work in good faith with the people of Dallas of all races to the end that the interest of their children will be best served." To Give Board Time Judge Atwell said he dismissed the case "in order that the school board may have ample time, as it appears to be doing, to work out this problem. The 87-year-old jurist, a federal judge 34 years, recalled in giving his decision that the Supreme Court had left it up to lower courts to carry out its public school desegregation decision. He also said: "l believe it will be seen that me court based its decision on no law but rather on what the court regarded as more authoritative, modern psychological knowledge than existed at the time that the now discarded doctrine of equal facilities was initiated. It will be recalled that in 1992, Mr. Justice (Felix) Frankfurter (of the U. 8. Supreme Court) said it is not competent to take judicial notice of 'claims of social scientists.' " He declined to elaborate on his decision, saying, "it would not be proper." Ruling ea Rehearing Judge Atwell gave his decision after a 2Vi-hour rehearing of a suit started Sept. , 1959, in which the parents sought to gain admittance of their children to white schools. He ruled then that the Dallas schools need not integrate lmme diately, but did so without hearing testimony. The U. S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals at New Orelans sent the case back and ordered him to hear It on its merits. Yesterday Judge Atwell sail the policy of separate but equal schools in Texas was based on a state constitutional provision and had been in elfect for a long time. He noted that there was no com plaint about the competency of teachers or of school facilities. furthermore, the suggestion of the Supreme Court thut the in volved parties should studiously and carefully seek to integrate seems to have been attempted here: but so fur has not succeed' ad; but it has not been abandoned by liie school authorities," he said. Doing Their Best "I think that the testimony shows completely that the school authorities here in charge of this independent school district are certainly doing their best to com ply with the ruling of the Supreme Court of the United States. And thnt court, it will be recalled, left it up to the school authorities and the local courts to further this in tegration process." The Supreme Court on May 17. 1954 declared that race segrega tion in public schools is unconsti tutional. On May 31, 1955, the court directed that school segregation be denied "as soon as praclible" but set no deadline. It said "lower courts may find that additional time is necessary to carry out the ruling In an effective manner and placed upon defendants the bur den of showing that such time is necessary.

(AP Wlrephoto via radio from London) DENVER (UP)-Michael Wieg- ner, 16, fugitive from a California mental hosDita . and his 17-year- old estranged wife, whom he kid naped Monday at gunpoint Irom her parents' home, were hospital ized here today following a police chase and auto wreck. Clo Ann Wiegner, the young wife, an honor student at Daly City, Calif., a suburb of San Fran cisco, was in "serious condition" at Denver General Hospital, with possible head injuries and a com pound fracture of the left arm. Extent of her young husband's iniuries was still undetermined. The couple was injured when their car, driven by Wiegner, cracked up in a gully In North Denver following a chase by po lice of 10 to 15 minutes alter po lice spotted the car about 2 a.m. The car, a Mercury believed stolen by Wiegner after his escape from Napa State Hospital, was completely wrecked. Search Started A second fugitive from the men tal hospital, identified as 35-year-old Jesso Eastman, a Sioux Indian also known as Jesse Red Cloud, Oakland, was not found when po lice arrived. Detective Lt. Roy Tangye said Eastman might have left the car before the police chase began or might have fled after the car plunged into the gully. He said a cilywide search had been started for the missing mental patient, labeled an alco holic by California authorities. Tangye said he had been able to question Wiegner but the young fugitive "doesn't want to remem ber anything that happened in California." Parents Relieved The detective said Wiegner did tell him they came across Nevada but refused to elaborate.

The White House already is dec orated with poinsettias, mistletoe, greenery and Christmas trees in cluding a giant silver-trimmed tree flanked by a manger scene in the east ballroom.
