Falling Plan 'One waa word from a passing ship, the SS Gaines Mills, that it saw an explosion at sea off New Smyrna Beach at 7:50 p. m. Wednesday, and what ap peared to be an airplane fall ing. That may have been the fate of (lie PBM search craft. The other clue was a report by the airport weather station at Miami that a large area of turbulent air rolled out of a storm centered over Gcorsia. swept over Jacksonville about noon and reached Miami by nightfall. A meteorological freak squalls on the surface, 40 mile winds at 1000 feet, and full hurricane of 75 miles an hour at 8000 feet was recorded at 4 p. m. Such a development could easily have carried the torpedo planes miles out of tneir practice area. "Can't tell weather over the Atlantic or Gulf of Mexico," the final message was reported to have said. Today's vast search was a re newal of yesterday's hunt when planes scanned all of the Flor ida peninsula and a sea area reaching 150 miles from the coast. Today planes and ships were ordered to look at every square mile of sea from north of Key West to north of Jack sonville for a distance 250 miles out from the coast. Main Jailed .

Questioned at the police sta tion the ex-marine stated that he was driving about 40 miles per hour and had been drinking but was not intoxicated. VITAL STATISTICS BELL-Bora at Hillside hosoltal.
