Hatred off Commuri5sm Smoulders in Czechoslovakia
Western Reporters Find on VnsSt; Eed Grip Tight
Br ROBERT BRANSON
United Press Correspondent
Brno, Czechoslovakia '.U.R;
Hatred of Communism smoulders
openly here behind the Iron
Curtain, but there, is little evi
dence that the Red dictatorship
Is losing its grip.
Brno (pronounced Bruno) is
Czechoslovakia's second largest
city. For the first time since the
Communists seized the country
in 1948, a group of Western re
porters was allowed to come
here the past week end.
Officially they came to report
a soccer game between Austria
and Czechoslovakia, but they
were able to roam the streets
and talk freely to Czechs in
restaurants and stores, in state
run "night clubs," on street cars,
on the teeming sidewalks around
the Red-starred Hotel Grand.
Czech Resents Communism
A comparison of notebooks
shows the Westerners agreed on
these impressions:
The average Czech resents
living under Communism and
many speak with a bitter frank
ness that is startling but does
not believe the regime is in im
minent danger of economic col
lapse or revolt.
There is plenty of food in the
Lava Flow Hits Sea;
Steam Spirals Upward
Pahoa, Hawaii (U.R) Clouds
of steam spiraled hundreds of
feet into the air today as two
streams of fiery lava from rest
less Kilauea volcano spilled
over a 50 foot cliff into the sea.
The flow was fed by an out
burst approximately three miles
up the slope in the vicinity of a
dead crater known as Iilewa.
Kileauea is now ending its first
month of activity.
Sunday night the main flow of
lava broke into two fingers as it
neared the coast. One hit the
sea shortly after noon yester
day, slicing through the 217 acre
farm of independent planter Rob
ert Yamada. The second finger
toppled into the sea from the
same cliff five hours later.
Yamada's farm, where 80 acres
had been planted with young
coffee trees worth $40,000, was
saved from last week's series
of eruptions by six earthen end
rock dikes which diverted the
earlier flow.
The first entrance of lava into
the sea was made March 16 when
the flow reached the water near
Kamaili, forming a new penin
sula.
Since Kilauea broke its 115
year silence, nature's fireworks
have been disastrous as well as
spectacular.
Nine homes have been wiped
out and lava has covered an esti
mated 4,000 acres, including
farm and timber lands, and has
caused millions of dollars worth
of destruction.
In addition the activity has
forced some 500 Puna residents
to be evacuated and has caused
extensive damage to primary and
secondary roads.

Die in Plane Crash
Leggett. Calif. (U.R) Three
persons from Bellevue, Wash.,
were killed instantly yesterday
when their single engine priv
ate plane struck a pine tree and
crashed down the side of a
canyon.
Civil Aeronautics Authority
in Seattle identified the victims
as Nealon A. Thompson, a North
west Airlines pilot, his wife,
Eunice, and Peter David, a
friend.
The small plane landed on the
private airstrip of the Pacific
Coast Lumber Company In
northern Mendocino County just
before the crash. Thompson said
he was lost and asked for direc
tions. A company employee said the
plane then attempted to take off
from the hilltop field, but struck,
a tall pine tree at the end of the
runway and crashed down the
mountainside, disintegrating as
it went.
Part of the wreckage landed
in the Eel River, some 500 yards
down the mountain.
All three victims died instant
ly, the witness said.
An airport spokesman at Belle
vue said Thompson took off Sun
day with his two passengers for
a "long trip."
Radio Operators'
Strike Threatened
San Francisco (U.R) CIO
radio operators have threatened
a strike against Pacific Far East
Lines unless that company prom
ises not to give radio jobs aboard
its ships to members of the AFL
Sailors Union.
i This threat was delivered yes
terday by Philip O'Rourke, vice
president of the American Ra
dio Association. He said:
"We will deliver a 24 - hour
ultimatum to Pacific Far East
Lines Tuesday morning. If they
do not guarantee us complete
protection against back door
agreements, we will strike on
Wednesday."
By "back door agreements,"
O'Rourke was referring to a
plan by Harry Lundeberg, sec
retary of the sailors union, to
place members of the AFL mari
time unions exclusiyely aboard
ships carrying bulk cargoes.
Shipowners ordinarily nego
tiate contracts with seven mari
time unions, including the CIO
radio operators and CIO Marine
Engineers.
