Debris of Wreck Studied by CAB San Francisco (W A team of civil aeronautics experts studied today debris recovered from the sea after the crash of the Pan American Stratocruiser, "Ro mance of the Skies." The debris arrived at San Francisco International Airport Tuesday night from Long Beach, Calif., where it was brought by the carrier Philippine Sea. The carrier spearheaded a week-long search for the plane. The plane disappeared Nov. 8 while flying from San Francisco to Honolulu with 44 persons aboard. The bodies of 19 were recovered and brought to Long Beach aboard the Philippine Sea The 'debris was contained in 23 boxes. It ranged from luggage to seat 'cushions and floor ma terial from the plane. The only parts of the plane itself found were a small emergency door, a heavy piece of steel from an engine cowling and a partially charred kitchen cabinet. Leon Cuddeback, head of the CAB team, said the debris was "flotsam, not real, wreckage." "It may require from 10 days to two weeks to reach even a preliminary conclusion," he said. "There are many facets to the investigation. We don't know what it will show." Cuddeback said the CAB has invited representatives of the FBI, Pan American and Boeing Aircraft company, manufac turers of the Stratocruiser, to join in the investigation. Large Reunion Planned For Ship's Company All former crew members and officers of the USS New Mexico who are interested in a ship's re union are asked to contact Le Roy Adler, 6400 E. Bayard, Long Beach 15, Calif. A number of former crew members of the ship have formed the necessary committees to or ganize a ship's reunion, he said. The battleship served in two world wars. She was commis sioned in 1918 and served until shortly after World War II. The level of Lake Michigan is about 21 feet lower than that of neighboring Lake Superior to the north. U.S., Canada List Airstrips in DEW Line Area in North Washington (tP The United States and Canada have come close to pinpointing for all to know the locations of many of the secret radar stations provid ing warning of possible attack across the top of the world. U.S. defense officials said, however, the net result will be more, rather than less, security for the two countries. The two governments have just made public the names and exact locations of 21 main air strips serving the radar sites comprising the distant early warning (DEW) line across the top of North America. The air strips were identified when the two government estab lished a new polar air defense zone through which no airplane may fly without following a pre scribed flight plan and without being positively identified. Marked by Parallels , The new zone .runs roughly along a band marked by the 68th and 70th parallels of lati tude. Similar identification zones run across the United States Canadian border, up and xiown the continent's coast and around Alaska. Airplanes flying through the zones must file advance flight plans. They need the en route navigation facilities and radio communications of the zones to establish their courses. The DEW line landing strips were identified so flyers will know where radio beacons are located and have access to emer gency landing strips if needed. The list of 21 strips was pub lished in the Canada Gazette, a weekly government publication. They also were identified in the November "Radio Facility Charts," a booklet issued under, authority of the United States and Canadian Air Forces and Navies. Locations Still Secret While exact locations of the radar stations remain secret, they obviously are not far from the landing strips which were installed for use of airplanes supplying the stations. There are 23 other landing strips which were not identified because they lack radio aids useful to planes passing over. The airstrips which have now been identified stretch from Cape Dyer on Baffin island's northeast coast through Cam bridge bay on Victoria island's south coast to Shingle point near the mouth of the Mackenzie river. Pentagon officials said a simi lar listing of DEW line landing strips is expected soon for Alaska. ' FIRESWEEP SERIES The 1958 DeSoto Firesweep series (the two door hardtop pic tured above) was the hit of the introduction display, according to Dick Knight company, 33 South Riverside ave. The new engine is said to have features which permit a weight decrease without loss of performance. The 1958 models'also feature "Constant-Control"' power steering, economy choke fuel system, "Sure-Grip" differential and an improved "Torsion-Air e" ride. The Hollywood Scene Hollywood (IP) The na tion's living rooms will be awash with tears Dec. 1 when Lassie l-J- J iJt, 'v. I barks farewell to her old family and takes on a new set of owners. Producers of the canine saga have pull ed all stops in an attempt to Vernon Scott" wring as many sobs from the situation as pos sible. Here's how it goes: The show opens with Ellen Miller (Jan Clayton) being com forted by friends over the death of "Gramps." Jeff (Tommy Ret tig) is in the barnyard playing with Lassie when a young couple wanders on screen to lease the farm. Newcomers Take All The newcomers are Paul and Ruth Martin (played by Jon She- podd and Cloris Leachman. They not only agree to take over the farm, they also decide to adopt little Tommy (Jon Provost) who was introduced on the show ear lier this year. Then, while eyes mist, Jeff and his mother prepare to leave the old homestead. Lassie is caught in the middle. The big collies senses she is going to be left behind, yet she can't be too upset because, after all, she still has Timmy and the farm. At any rate, by the time the Millers roll off in their old car everybody in the cast is blubber ing. CBS hopes the nation-wide audience also will be weeping bucketsful. Growth, Death Force Change The transition was forced when young Rettig outgrew his part. The real-life death of George Cleveland, who played "Gramps," and Miss Clayton s desire to move on, ended the old format. Newcomers Shepodd and Leachman are a clean-cut look- By VERNON SCOTT United Press Writer ing pair who have stepped into a rough situation. . They're afraid audiences will resent them for pushing the old, familiar faces off the program. Their scripts also call for fric tion with Timmy. A relative newcomer to tele vision, Shepodd is a slow, easy going man with a twinkle in' his eye. He believes his role in the series' will give him public iden tity and insure his future acting career. Cloris is a happy-go-lucky girl, a little on the plain side, who has her troubles with Lassie in the first few episodes. Both Shepodd and Miss Leach man agree, however, that by this time next year they'll be as close to Lassie fans as the original cast, v Western Granted Route to Phoenix ' Washington (IP) Western Air Lines Inc., has been granted a new air route from Phoenix to Seattle via Los Angeles by the Civil Aeronautics board. The action was taken Tues day with the stipulation that the route must originate at Port land or Seattle and terminate at Phoenix on one end and or iginate at Phoenix and termin ate at Portland and Seattle on the other end. . It was also stipulated the new flight to Los Angeles could not serve Denver, preventing West ern from running shuttle flights into Los Angeles. Western was granted a route from Denver to San Diego via Phoenix last Sept. 27. STOCKYARDS ABANDONED Artesian, S.D. (IP) The Chi cago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pa cific Railway has been authoriz ed to . abandon its" stockyards here.

The royal couple, expecting a second child, went through a series of celebration in Tuesday's "Fete Nationale" that would make a commoner's head swim. They attended a solemn high mass at the cathedral, reviewed the armed forces in the palace square, went to a noisy football game, and capped the day with the opera. Somehow they also presided over two private parties. It was the first big celebration for this tiny principality on the Mediterranean since the Prince and his Hollywood princess were married last year and it even daz zled local residents. , The level of the Mississippi river between dikes in New Or leans is normally about 3 feet above sea level and is also often well above the average level of the city's streets. Japanese Papers Criticize Sentence of Japan's biggest newspapers today criticized the- suspended sentence granted Army S3C William S. Girard on his con viction on manslaughter charges in the shooting of a Japanese woman. The Mainichi and A s a h i termed the' verdict handed down by the Maebashi district court against the Ottawa, 111., soldier "too lenient." The third of Ja pan's "Big Three" newspapers, the Yomuri, said the sentence was "appropriate" because it had to "be solved with political considerations." Most Japanese agreed with the sentiments expressed by the Maichini and Ashai. Many felt the suspended sentence was tan tamount to a verdict of innocent and that Girard should have served at least a part of the three year term imposed by the court. It was noted that Girard would be free to return to the United States if no appal is made by the prosecution or de fense within the next 14 days. Girard was convicted by the court in the Jan. 30 firing range death of Mrs. Naka Sakai. He was sentenced to three years imprisonment but the sentence wa suspended for four years.
