A United Press survey made that clear today in the wake of Thursday's crash in Munich which killed seven members of the Manchester United soccer team. National league teams must fly of course, to meet a schedule which includes two West coast teams. American league teams also are increasing flights. Baseball's most notable non flyers are the New York Yan kees, who have made only six flights in the last three years and have none planned for this year. No change in their policy is anticipated as long as George Weiss is general manager. Disaster Plan Three National league teams the Dodgers, Giants and world champion Milwau kee Braves will make virtu ally all their trips by air this year. In the American league, the Detroit Tigers will fly, except between Washington and Baltimore. The three N.L. teams will travel about 20, 000 miles in the air. Both leagues are prepared to cope with the problem of an air disaster. The AL has had a "disaster plan" in oper ation since last Dec. 5 and the NL has an informal agree ment. The AL plan provides for a pool of 84 players, 12 from each team from which the stricken club would be rebuilt. Ten years ago it was a novelty for a major league team to fly but expansion west and night ball worked a slow but steady change. No big league team ever has been involved in a plane accident of major proportions. PROTEST REJECTED Berlin (IP) E a s t German Communists have rejected a Western allied protest against the demonstration Jan. 19 of armed militia in East Berlin. The East Zone foreign office issued a statement Thursday denouncing the protest as "un justified interference in the internal affairs of the East German Democratic Repub lic." The West had protested to the Soviet government in East Berlin on grounds that parades of armed German groups are banned m Berlin under four-power agreements. The Soviets referred the pro test to the East Germans.

Riverside, Medford, Oregon Forest Service Asked To Increase Coastal Timber Cut figure of 205 million board feet. The tentative figure, he said, is subject to change up ward or downward at the re gional office in Portland or at Washington D.C. Tom Chamberlain, secretary-treasurer of the Yaquina Bay Dock and Dredge Com pany of Newport, led the at tack on the Forest Service cut ting program. He cited a re port prepared by the Port land firm of Mason, Bruce & Girard, timber consultants, that said the allowable cut on the Siuslaw should be not less than ' 477 million board feet per year. Chamberlain said copies of the report had been submitted tg the Forest Serv ice and that no denial of its facts or any. other indication that it was unacceptable had been heard.

WORDS PROVOKE ANGER Tokyo (TO Victims of the atom bomb in Hiroshima and Nagasaki today sent telegrams to former President Harry Truman demanding that he retract his statement that he had "no qualms" in ordering the A-bomb drops on the two cities in World War II. The message said Truman's state ment on an American tele vision program was a "great shock to us who went through the disaster." It demanded he retract his "wild statement" in deference to the 200,000 victims. During World War II, tht United States Army had many interests reflated to maritime transportation.
