Pieces of Wedged Metal Said New Evidence of Mid-Air Plane Crash Grand Canyon Village, Ariz. (U.R) New evidence that a Trans World Airliner Super'Constella tion and a United Air Lines DC7 collided in flight before plung ing into Grand Canyon was uncovered today in the wreck age of the UAL plane. Two pieces of metal, one a cowling from a motor of the UAL plane, the other a piece of metal with red markings identical to that of TWA air craft, was found at the site of the DC7. M ran juZ-jf t'4 " WOODS ' ! 'I S 105 E. Main St. The new evidence was un covered by a helicopter crew which made a daring descent o a point 30 feet above the wreck age. The helicopter carried Capt. Walter Springs, El Dorado, Ark., and Chief Warrant Officer How ard Proctor, Kings Mountain, N.C. They spent about 10 min utes on the ledge. Melal Wedged Together x Spriggs was the first person to reach the DC7 wreckage. He found two pieces of metal, and said they were wedged together. A UAL official said the mark ings on one piece of metal were similar to those on TWA air liners. But, he said, United air lines also have a thin red stripe on part of the tail section. The. UAL official said it was not certain from which part of the airplane the piece of metal came. A second helicopter landing was made and a mountain climb er, Tom Batson, Boulder, Colo., was dropped at the scene. He was to aid a team of mountain eers attempting to reach the wreckage from the floor of the canyon. Darkness forced four climbers to halt operations Wednesday but they were confident of reach ing the wreckage of the DC7 in their second attempt. Charles J.

Allen Huten, of Denver, joined the quartet today for the second try. The climbers said they reached a level near pieces of the wreck age, but were about 200 feet under the place where the air liner slammed into the side of Temple Butte, killing 58 persons. Less than a mile away, rescue teams on Tuesday finished col lecting all that remained of the 70 persons who perished in the crash of the TWA plane. Inch-by-Inch Grind It was a slow inch-by-inch grind working "their way up the face of the rocky cliff. The climbers made an alpine stair case in the face of the cliff by pounding spikes into the stone wall for footing. One mis-step meant death for a climber as far below loomed jagged rocks and boulders bordering the Colorado river. They began the ascent at dawn despite the desert heat and tricky winds blowing through the gorge. By sunset the climb ers decided not to chance going any further. One by one they descended on a nylon rope back to the canyon floor. Train Smashes Into Throng on Trestle Fox Lake, 111.
