South-Bound Plane Burns Soon Alter Takeoff; 20 Dead Airliner Hits Island Early Friday Evening New York (U.R) Aviation disaster detectives rushed in Sat urday to try to solve the mystery of why a 'Miami-bound airliner with 101 persons crashed and burned moments after taking off from La Guardia airport in a swirling snowstorm.,. Twenty died in the flaming wreckage of the four-engine Northeast airlines, DC-6A. Of the 81 survivors1, 20 were injured critically, mainly with burns. Only two persons were unhurt. The plane., slammed onto Rik ers Island, site of a city prison, at dusk Friday after a takeoff de layed by more than three hours by bad weather. Veteran pilots said the No. 4 runway from which the plane departed was one of the worst and roughest runways at a major U.S. airport. Runway Short At '5,000 feet, the runway is considered comparatively short for four-engine planes but is re garded as safe. Airline pilots long ago nicknamed the runway "Mt. Laguardia' because of a hump in its middle. The pilot of the lost airplane, Capt. Alva Marsh, 50-year-old vettran flier, was being kept "under wraps" in a New York hotel with his wife. Civil Aeronautics board offici als visited the scene but refused to comment on the crash. They found the .plane's instruments badly burned, which could ham per the investigation, and noted that the plane apparently struck an incline and then bounced over a ridge before burning. Clogged With Ice " One possibility raised by vet eran investigators was that the plane's air intake may have been clogged with ice, causing a sharp loss of power. A CAB spokesman quoted a La Guardia flight control tower em ploye as saying that the pilots of three planes that took off before the ill-fated plane reported loss of power because of ice in air intakes. Authorities said this might ex--plain why the plane never was able to get more than a few hun dred feet off the ground in near blizzard conditions. Officials of the Douglas air craft company, builder of the plane, said the fact that 101 per sons were on the plane would not mean it was overloaded. DC 6 planes have carried as many as 110 persons, the company said. Asforian Reporter Injured in Dock Fail . Astoria (U.R) Mrs. Barbara Peterson, reporter-photographer for the Astorian Budget, was in jured on the Astoria waterfront Friday .while getting a story on the arrival of an Irish freighter.
