27 Killed,8 Injured In British Airline Crash
Belfast, Northern Ireland—(U.P.)-Seventy pounds of radio active material, missing in the crash of a British airliner, complicated investigation today of the disaster in which 27 persons, including two American school teachers, were killed.
The BEA identified the American victims of the crash as Miss Dolores Grissing, 30, United States Educational foundation, Smith Center, Kan., and Miss E. J. Duerksen, 28; Inman, Kan.
Eight others aboard the British European Airways "Viking" were injured when the plane hit an airfield beacon in a heavy rainstorm last night.
An analysis and history of the thorny problems of legislative and congressional apportionment in Kansas are given in a report issued by the University Governmental Research bureau.
Geiger counters were rushed to the scene of the crash, 100 yards short of the end of the runway at the Nutt's Corner airfield, when it
The study traces the history of apportionment since statehood as background for an approach to the question of whether Kansas citizens—rural or urban—have been given adequate representation in their government.
Bureau Reports On Apportionment
The author is Tom Page, formerly a political science instructor at KU. He now is an instructor and research associate at the University of Illinois Institute of Government and Public Affairs. Mr. Page, a native of Topeka, spent five years gathering material for the book.
The report discusses the relationship of representation between rural and urban areas and the methods used in reapportionment as well as making an analysis of the equality of representation from the present apportionment.
The booklet is being distributed to libraries, schools, colleges, and public officials.
Airlines officials said the lead pot was encased in a wooden box and it was hoped the pot was strong enough to stand the impact of the crash without splitting apart and releasing dangerous radon seeds.
The supply ministry said the radon seeds have a relative short radio active life. Inexperienced persons handling the substance "probably would receive a very slight dose of radio activity."
was discovered a lead pot containing the radio active "radon seeds" used in medical treatment, was missing.
The radio active consignment was intended for the Northern Ireland Therapy center at Purdysburn and had been dispatched by the Ministry of Supply.
The airline's chief executive officer Peter Masefield and other technical experts flew here to investigate the crash.
This new hazard slowed the process of salvaging and identifying baggage and equipment from the plane.
Reds Rally to Save Doomed Atom Spies
London—(U.P.)—Communist rallies in Britain and Europe climaxed a Red campaign today to "save the Rosenbergs" — American atomic spies Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, sentenced to die in the Sing Sing electric chair.
The largest rally was to be held in Berlin later today.
Rallies were held in France and England last night, but none drew the crowds brought out by some previous communist campaigns.
Speakers followed the communist line that the Rosenbergs are the victims of "fascist justice" and "American anti-Semitism."
Tokyo —(U,P)— Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida met with visiting Korean President Syngman Rhee today at Gen. Mark Clark's residence for "an informal chat" that may clear the way for renewed peace negotiations between the two countries.
Japanese Foreign Minister Katsuo Okazaki accompanied Prime Minister Yoshida to the session. U. S. Ambassador Robert Murphy, Minister Kim of the Korean mission and Gen. Clark sat in on the meeting.
The U. S. Army disclosed the meeting was held, but ended a brief release with the words, "no announcement was made as to the subjects discussed."
Before the meeting with Mr. Yoshiida, President Rhee and his party of South Korean government officials conferred with Gen. Clark at his military headquarters. He also met briefly with Nationalist Chinese Ambassador Hollington K. Tong.
Informal Chat Held By Japan, Korea
Washington — (U.P.)— Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis.) gave the new Senate Elections subcommittee a photographic copy today of a letter from Sen. A. S. Mike Monroeny (D-Okla) to Washington Mystery Man Henry W. Grunewald thanking him for a “valued” campaign contribution.
McCarthy Presents Monroney Letter
Mr. Grunewald is under indictment on contempt of Congress charges because he refused to answer questions of a House committee investigating tax scandals.
Sen. McCarthy charged in a letter to Sen. Monroney that a government employee solicited and collected the contribution from Mr. Grunewald and passed it on to Sen. Monroney as cash.
Sen. Monroney was a member for a time of the old Senate elections subcommittee which investigated McCarthy's fitness to be a senator.
Sen. McCarthy told newsmen that the contribution was a "sizable amount" and that the federal em-
Mass UN Raids Continue To Step Up Aerial Warfare
Seoul, Korea — (U.R) — More than 100 Allied fighter-bombers swarmed within 30 miles of the Yalu river today as UN fliers continued to step up the pace of their devastating aerial war.
The mass raid just south of the border came less than 24 hours after B-29 Superforts blasted a huge supply depot near Pyongyang. Only a few hours earlier Allied Sabre jets damaged two more Russian-built MIGs, although the UN planes were outnumbered three to one by the Reds.
Today's mass raid with high explosives touched off huge secondary explosions and flattened many billeting and storage buildings in the target area between Hwichon and Kanggye.
Superforts also hit a Red military staff center south of Pyongyang and other frontline targets.
On the east, Mustangs directed Naval gunfire against Communist communication lines.
Other fighter-bombers pounded battlefield positions, knocking out nine Red gun positions and 40 troop bunkers across the front.
In the Superfort raid near Pyongyang, tons of 500-pounders shook 130 single-story buildings at the supply center, five machine shops and two warehouses.
The supply center raid was made by American B-29 Superfortons which hit a 100-acre sprawling depot at Changji-Ni on the outskirts of the North Korean capital. It was their first raid on that target.
On the ground, 200 Chinese failed in a bid to drive South Koreans from the slopes on Jane Russell hill in the "Kumhwra ridges" area.
Four other Sabre jets battled an additional 12 Russian-made jets over MIG alley without racking up any claims.
After a two-hour fight Monday night, the ROKs counted 31 dead Chinese.
On the central front the Com-
ploye involved was a "very prominent official." He refused to name the official or say just how much money was involved.
munists ambushed a 16-man Allied patrol that had stabbed a mile and a half into no man's land and poured withering fire on them. The UN unit was sprung from the trap by heavy Allied tank and artillery fire.
An Allied position east of the Pukhan river held against two probes by 80 Reds. The Communists fought for an hour the first time, retreated, and then came back to fight for two more hours.
UN mortar fire drove the enemy back each time.
