Bomb Said Cause
Oi Airliner Crash;
Sabotage Blamed
New Delhi, India (U.P.) An
Indonesian official court of in
quiry reported today that a time
bomb caused the crash of an Air
India Constellation that killed
Chinese Communist delegates
uho were flying to the recent
Bandung conference.
The court's findings said the
crash of the Constellation "Kash
mir Princess" last month was
caused by the explosion of an
"infernal machine" in the star
board wheel of the aircraft and
that there was '"irrefutable
proof" of sabotage.
Advance Warning
Peiping charged the plane was
sabotaged by American and
Chiang Kai-shek agents and
warned Hong Kong authorities
even before it arrived there that
"something might happen." It
was considered almost certain
the Communists would repeat
the charges now.
The Constellation plunged
into the South China Sea off the
great Natuna Islands April 11
while carrying Chinese and Viet
namese delegates to the Bandung
Afro-Asian conference. Fifteen
persons were killed, including
II Chinese. Three Indian crew
members survived.
Unusual Precautions
Hong Kong authorities insist
ed that because of the advance
warning by Peiping airport po
lice took unusual security pre
cautions. Today Hong Kong gov
ernment admitted the infernal
machine may have been placed
aboard there and said an in
vestigation was ' being pursued
with the utmost vigor."

Blind Pianist, Disappointed in
Work Hunt, Heading for England
Portland (U.R) A blind Brit
isher, laborer by trade and pian
ist by avocation, has resolved
to return to England with his
family after failing to achieve
the success that was predicted
for him less than two years ago
when Oregon's Congressional
delegation got him into this
country.
John Snell, 32, his partially
blind wife, and two sons aged
4 and 2, were admitted to the
United States in September,
1953, over the objections of the
immigration and naturalization
service which feared they might
become public charges.
Only the generosity of munici
pal employee Sigfried Lofstrom,
a Portland ditch-digger, has kept
the immigration service fears
from being realized.
Snell entered the country from
England on the strength of rec
ommendations from Sen. Wayne
Morse, Sen. Guy Cordon and
Rep. Harris Ellsworth, and with
a S2000 bond posted by J
Hobar
Wilson, Eugene insurance

difficulty adjusting to job op

The only recourse left to the
hard-Dressed family seemed to
be return to housing short Eng

jobs might be easier to find. He
said he would prefer to stay in
America because his sons would

they would in their native land.

Cutter Endorses
Salk Vaccine Tests
Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) Dr.
Robert K. Cutter, president of
the Cutter Laboratories here,
yesterday endorsed the U. S.
Fublic Health Service's proposal
for "more delicate" testing of
Salk polio vacpine.
"As long as there is any ques
tion as to the safety of polio vac
cine the need for more delicate
testing procedures is self evi
dent," Cutter said.
"Cutter Laboratories not only
endorses the U. S. Public Health

intensive research toward the
development of even more
stringent safeguards."
Today's Blitz is lighter! But and here's the real trick
refreshingly light as it is,. Blitz loses none of its
real old-fashioned beer flavor. It's the light beer
that tastes like beer... full-bodied, satisfying, good.
If you like your beer on the smoother,
, lighter side (and who doesn't ?), Blitz is
your beer. BETTER BUY BLITZ!
