Haiti Expels 2nt!TopMan In 2 Months Pierre-Louis Bows Out ; As Prcxy in Face of Strike Threat PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti U1- Bowing to demands of politicians, Joseph Nemours Pierre-Louis re portedly quit as provisional presi dent last night In the midst of Haiti's colorful prc-Lcntcn carnival. It was the second time in less than two months the post was vacated. Pierre-Louis' resignation followed radio broadcasts hy two of tie seven candidates for the presidency in this spring's elec tions threatening a general strike today if the Provisional President did not slep down. There was no immediale indi cation who would succeed Picrrc Louis as head of the Negro repub lic in the Caribbean. It was a general strike by all signs a spontaneous move ment that forced the rcsigna- lion of strongman President Gen. Paul Magloire Dec. 12. Magloirc went into exile and Pierre-Louis, chief of the Supreme Court, was made acting president to prepare for Rcncral elections. The nrmy, which played the chief role in Magloiro's attempt to remain in office beyond his six year term and then insisted on his resignation, stepped into the current political crisis in an evi dent attempt to bring order. -Tito chiefs of staff called to gi'lher the seven presidential can didates at army headquarters. One, Sen. Louis Deioic, refused to attend. He and nnother candi dale, Dr. Francois Duvallier, had made the broadcasts in Creole and French demanding Pierre-Louis' resignation. Duvallier attended. As he left army headquarters Inle at night, a big crowd that had gathered around the building encored him. No decisions were announced after the meeting. I was looking at the instru ments at the time. They were all working properly, he added.

Five victims were I identified yesterday, bringing to 13 the number identified thus far. The Marsh account contrasted! with earlier remarks attributed to I him that he experienced a "loss! of power" immediately after tak ing off for Miami, the plane's des tination. Marsh also had been quoted af ter the crash as saying he thought! the airplane had struck a pole on I tne island. Asked yesterday if he had been I attempting to turn back to La Guardia Field after the takeoff. Marsh replied: "I was making no! attempt to mm. Marsh, who has more than million air miles to his credit in I a 19-year career with the airplane. replied "No" when asked if ho was attempting a forced landing. Lane asked Marsh. "What in I your opinion caused the crash?" I don t know," the pilot replied. Marsh told the airline official I that the plane appeared to bo nincuoning correctly upon take- on. it contradicted earlier ma-ks.
