Bad Weather Report

Palm Springs, Cal., Apr. 8
(U.R) An entire family was
wiped out when four persons
were killed tonight in the crash
of a private airplane that took
off here in bad weather because
the father wanted to get his wife
and sons home to Los Angeles
for Easter church services.
The dead were identified as
Howard J. McCollister, Los An
geles advertising executive: his
wife. Helen, and two sons. How
ard Jerome Jr., 15, and Elliott,
12.
Weather observers reported
bad weather conditions over the
mountains and through San Gor-
gonio pass, between here and
Los Angeles, but McCollister was
quoted as saying he was anxious
to get home so the family could
go to church.
Mrs. William Woods, assistant
manager of the airport, said she
warned McCollister against tak
ing off.
Another plane had laxen on a
few minutes earlier and turned
back after ice formed on its
wings.
McCollister took off shortly
after 6 p. m. Witnesses said he
apparently had decided the
weather was too bad for flying
and was headed back for the
field when his Bonanza airplane
crashed in flames a half mile
from the airport.
The McCollisters had been vis
iting a friend, William Banner
man, here.
U. S. Officials Say
Russ May Launch
Another Offensive
Washington, Apr. 8 (U.R)
America's cold war policy of
containment of Soviet expansion
appeared today to be in a danger
ously weakened condition, and
United States officials voiced a
fear that Russia may soon launch
a new offensive.
Serious difficulties have
thwarted American efforts to
build an anti-communist wall of
nations around Russia and policy
makers are faced with the grim
problem of trying to decide
which one of these weak spots
will be picked for the Kremlin's
next pressure move.
From Korea around the peri
phery of the Soviet Union to
Germany, the west appeared to
be lagging in its cold war time
table. Meanwhile Moscow has
succeeded not only in laying the
groundwork for development of
a mighty satellite in China but
has consolidated its position in
eastern Europe to a degree that
has Washington frankly wor
ried. These factors will hang heavy
over the London meetings next
month of the western Big Three
foreign ministers and of the en
voys of the Atlantic pact na
tions.

Lattimore Accused'
Forming Red Policy
For U. S. in China
Not Called Top Agent
As in Senate Speech
Passaic, N. J., Apr. 8 (U.R)
Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy. (R..
Wis.), dropped his congressional
immunity from lawsuit today to
accuse Owen Lattimore of fash
ioning a communist U. S. policy
for China.
Lattimore replied Immediate
ly that the senator's accusation
ad been toned down to a point
where it amounted to retraction
of McCarthy's earlier "spy"
charges, which he made In the
senate.
McCarthy, in a speech to a
oup of his fellow Marine corns
veterans dared Lattimore tn sup
him for iibel for charging he had
Kuuieu ine u. s. along the com
munist trail in China.
Not Called Communist
But he tud not call Lattimore
ussia s "top espionage agent"
n the U. S. and a communist a
he did in the senate under con
gressional immunity. These were
two labels he pinned on the far
eastern expert in speeches on the
senate noor, wnere he was safe
from libel action.
Asked after his speech if he
expected to be sued, McCarthy
grinned broe.dly and said:
"Hell no."
Lattimore Comments
Lattimore, upon hearina the
contents of McCarthy's speech,
said in Washington:
"Sen. McCarthy's speech to
day is in effect a retraction of
his libelous and fantastic accusa
tions. Of course, the senator did
not repeat his charges. He knew
better than to make them in an :
unprivileged speech.
"Again the senator weasled.
He knows that the charges are
false, and he is frantically trying
to hide behind his senatorial im
munity while pretending to come
out in the open.
Intelligence Questioned
"He must have a low opinion
of the intelligence of the Ameri
can press and public if he trunks
he can fool them with this kind
of shell game.
If McCarthy were a man oi
his word, he would perform on i.
his twice repeated promise to re-
sign from the senate. That Is the
boat possible way in which he
can serve his country."
This was a reference to state
ments bv McCarthy on the sen
ate floor that he would resign if
the day ever came when he
would not repeat without im
munity what he said in the libel-
proof senate.
