Soto lovaky: (1) Require that the Americana, British and French give 24 hours' notice of their flights through cor ridors over the Russian occupation sone. with "drlaila about the planes and their passengers." (21 Prohibit those allies from making any corridor flight by night. In clouds, in the stratos phere or under other circum stances "in which the plane can not be seen from the ground. The commission said only such "strict regulations" could prevent a repitltlon of accidents like the April 5 crash here between a British Vik ing transport and a Soviet Yak-3 fighter. The collision killed 13 Britons, two Americans and the Russian pilot. British Blamed The Russian report, which took up a full page in the official Soviet newspaper Taegllche Rundschau. blamed a British violation of air safety regulations for the accident. It said the British should be made to pay Indemnities for the plane and to the dead pilot's family. The British already had held their own investigation, blamed the Rus sians for the crash and said they would ask indemnities. Efforts toward a Joint investigation had failed. The latest Russian move came as some top American officials said they believe tho Russians intend to kill Berlin's Allied Komniandnntura. only four-power organization still functioning here. The Russians Tuesday proposed Uiat henceforth kommandnutura meetings be scheduled only from one session to the next, rather than the customary month In advance. "That would give them an excuse to reduce Ihe number of meetings by claiming they could not show up,' one American official commented. Civil Rights Come In For Big Blasting By The Associated Preas Texas democrats look a crack at President Truman'a civil rights pro gram but indicated today the party organisation will back him If he wlna the presidential nomination. Alabama's Senator Sparkman, meanwhile, fanned the Dixie anti Truman fires by rnewing the boom for Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. On the republican side. Senator Robert A. Taft and Harold E. Stas sen pressed their talking tours of Ohio In quest of further support In the May 4 primary. And Gov. Thomas E. Dewey picked up seven more New York state delegates to run his national total to 122. The Texas democratic executive committee voted 35 to 14 last night to recommend an untnstructed dele gation to the Philadelphia conven tion in July. Full Support But the group promised to "accord full support lo every nominee of the party." Political observers there took this to mean the state organization would refuse to Join any Dixie re volt that may flare after the con vention. As for the civil rights proposals which raised the rebellion threat, the committee said they would de stroy home role and civil liberties In the South. Sparkman, who recenUy broke with Mr. Truman over civil rights, told a reporter he believes Elsen hower will be available for the democratic nomination despite the general's statement that he "could not accept nomination to high poli tical office,", . -, Sparkman said that Alabama, as (he first state to be heard from, might start a "We-Want-Eisen-hower" boom at the convention.

Police Follow 'Hot Tip1 In Reuther Case DETROIT. April 22 WV Police said they are working on a "hot tip" today In Detroit's great man hunt for the gunman whs shot the CIO's Walter P. Heather. Chief of Detectives Jack Har vill said three onion members would be brought in for question ing at once. He did not identify them further. "We have a hot tip." Hanrill told newsmen. "It looks good. That's aU I can say." His officers, meanwhile, check ed an empty shell that may have come from the shotgun in the hands of Reuthers assailant William Muntford. a 16-year-old neighbor, found the empty 16 gauge shell near the -evrb-on a street not far from Reu trier's home. Witnesses told police the get-away car a red sedan traveled at high speed down the same street. - This indicates, police theorized, that more than one man took part in the attempt on the life of the 40-year-old CIO United Auto Workers president by firing a shotgun blast through a kitchen window. Reuther, on a fruit juice diet In a hospital, was said br his physician to be "doing fine." His right arm was snattered by the shot HST Held To Favor Okay IN Holy Land WASHINGTON, April 2S (ID Admlniatration officials predicted today that President Truman will ask congreas to approve any uae oC American troops to police Palestine. This apparently does not rule out the chance that the president might, in an extreme emergency, order limited forces Into the Holy Land to protect American lives and prop erty. Mnrlncs might be used In that event, although there Is no clear In dication that this will happen. Flare-up Feared Officials are deeply concerned, however, lest Arab-Jewish fighting flare on an even larger scale next month when the British start with drawing their troops. Warren R. Austin, American dele gate, told the United Nations spe cial assembly session on Palestine Tuesday that the United States w prepared lo send troops to the Holy Land to support a trusteeship gov ernment on two conditions: First, other nations must also provide forces; second, Arabs and Jews must agree to a truce. Question Raised In Washington this promptly raised a question as to the presi dent's authority to use American armed forces. Austin's statement was criticized In the house yester day as making a commitment in violation of the law giving this gov ernment the right to membership in the United Nations. Administration legal authorities are understood to have advised the White House that nothing In the aw prevents the president from us ing bis constitution!! Dowers aa director or American foreign policy and commander-in-chief of the armed forces. The position of the administra tion therefore is said to be that Mr. Truman has the right to send troops wherever he may consider it In the nation's Interest to do so.
