British Delta-Wing Bomber Crashes in FISmes at Airport London U.R) One of Brit ain's newest delta-wing bombers crashed in flames today at Lon don Airport killing four crew men. The chief of the Royal Air Force Bomber command and one crewman escaped alive. An Air Ministry spokesman at the scene of the crash said Air Marshal Sir Harry Broadhurst, the RAF Bomber Command chief, and Squardon Leader Donald Howard, the pilot, ap parently used their ejector scst-s when the plane hit the ground. Broadhurst was reported in critical condition. Runs from Scene Howard apparently was un hurt and ran from the scene of the crash to the airport termin al. His wife, who had been wait ing to welcome him home from : a training flight to Australia, had seen the crash and ran into his arms. The wreckage of the giant plane blazed with a magnesium like glare for 15 minutes after wards. Police cordoned off the scene and warned onlookers: "Things are still tricky: The fuel tanks may explode.' As he spoke the flames reach ed the tanks and they blew up with a dull boom that sent a giant piece of twisted melal into the air. Other bits of smoulder ing wreckaae formed a 100-yard trail that resembled a wartime flarepath. The plane was an RAF Avro Vulcan jet "atom bomber, one of the latest in production in Britain. The pilot decided to land it on a 4.000-mile flight from Aden despite rain and low hanging clouds that caused three Soviet jet passenger planes to divert to an American air base The plane slewed sharply to its left, the nose dived into the ground and the craft exploded.

New York. flj.R) Stocks declined for their 15th out of 18 sessions today with railroad shares down to a new low since last Nov. 2. Trading increased on the de cline, indicating heavier liquid ation of stock holdings. Recently the worst that could be said of the market was that a buyers' strike was in progress. All sections were hit along with the rails. Industrials fell to a new low since Feb. 14 and utilities since Feb. 1. Dealings were the heaviest since Aug. 21. Altogether in the period since Sept. 5, the loss in dollars was estimated at S12 billion on paper. Reasons for the decline were unchanged, hinging on Suez, elections, and bond market com petition which in turn was made possible by tight money. Tobaccos met heavy selling that sent all of them to new lows. A new cancer scare provoked the selling. Losses in the group at the lows ran to more than 4 points in American Tobacco. Other issues to lose 3 points or more included Aluminum Limited. Alcoa. American Home Products, Continental Oil. Du Pont. Firestone. National Dairy, National Lead. Reynolds Metals. Rohm and Haas and Liggett and Myers. Dow-Jones Average Dow-Jones final stock aver ages: 30 industrials 468.70, off 6.55; 20 railroads 150.55, off 3.46; 15 utilities 64.93, cii 0.64, and 65 stocks 165.38, off 2.51.
