Body Fragments of Atlantic Plane Crash Victims Brought Into New York
.100 Pounds of
Remains Taken To
Bellevue Hospital
Jfew York J.R) A seagoing
Coast Guard tug steamed in
from the Atlantic ocean today
with its grim cargo the body
fragments of some of the-74 vic
tims of Wednesday's crash of a
Venezuelan airliner.
The tug Tamora's grisly haul
Included about 100 pounds of
body fragments and 100 pounds
of debris.
The remains were transferred
by a hearse to New York's Belle
vue hospital where identification
was declared to be virtually im
possible.
Cause of the crash, the worst
In the history of regularly sched
uled airline service, was unde
termined.
Full Probe Promised
Venezuelan aviation author!
ties said they will investigate the
crash "to the last detail."
The Linea Aearopostal Vene-
lolana (LAV) Super Constella
tion, attempting to return to
New York's Idlewild airport
with a runaway engine, caught
fire, burst into flames and plum
meted 9,000 feet into the ocean
None of the 64 passengers nor
10 crew members survived
Twenty Americans were num
bered among the dead, which in
cluded a large number of Vene
zuelan school children.
The airliner crashed into calm
eas at 1:32 a.m. EDT Wednes
day about 35 miles east of the
New Jersey coast, well out of
American territorial waters and
Jurisdiction.
CAB Compiling Evidence
The Civil Aeronautics Board
began, however, to collect evi
dence for an Investigation, pro
visionally pending a request
from the Venezuelan govern
ment. The Venezuelan government,
which operated the airline, in
dicated it would welcome any
help from U.S. authorities.
Capt. Jose Mendoza, LAV's
chief of International operations,
left for New York Wednesday
night aboard a Venezuelan air
liner to take part in hii govern
ment'! investigation. Two Vene
zuelan communications ministry
inspectors were also en route to
New York to assist in the investi
gation Into the causes of the
crash.
Possible Cause- Suggested
Investigation by U.S. experts
Indicated that the firing of the
gasoline by one of the plane's
till functioning engines may
have caused the crash.
The experts said that fuel
dumping does not ordinarily en
tail danger. The hazard could be
great, however, that highly in
flammable gasoline could be ig
nited if an engine or some other
part of the plane was on fire.
Parts of eight bodies and
about 100 pounds of body frag
ments have so far been recover
ed by Coast Guard boats assist
ed by planes. Searchers said they
saw evidence of sharks.
Republicans Split Over Quick Announcement off Ike's Political Plans
Washington (U.R) Republi
cans today were split over
whether President Eisenhower
should give a quick public reaf
firmation of his earlier an
nouncement that he will run for
a second term.
GOP leaders believe almost
unanimously that Mr. Eisenhow
er will seek reelection despite
his illness. But they are divided
on how soon he should restate
his intention.
Some Republicans, including
members of Congress, were said
to be in "no hurry" for the
President to make an early state
ment. They see no reason for
him to issue a statement while
he is in the hospital where he
will be at least another week,
and probably longer.
Other Republicans, however,
were reported uneasy over
mounting talk questioning the
availability of the President for
the GOP nomination.
The "say it soon" group would
like a presidential declaration
during a meeting here Friday
of Republicans slated .to plan
arrangements for the party's
Aug. 20 convention In San Fran
cisco. But the White House said
no such declaration would be
sent to the Friday meeting.
White House Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty Wednesday
put a "crystal ball" label on
a report that a White House offi
cial expects Mr. Eisenhower to
make a public statement on his
second term intentions soon aft
er he leaves Walter Reed hos
pital. This official reported some
uneasiness in Republican ranks
and predicted that the Presi
dent's statement would be issued
sometime between' July 4-15.
Hagerty insisted that "no
body" had discussed politics
with the President since he be
came 111 early on the morning
of June 8. But newsmen noted
that Hagerty had not ruled out
a presidential statement before
the middle of July.
