Elizabeth, N.J.—(U.R.)—Newark airport's third airliner disaster within two months killed 29 persons and injured 42 early today.
that the New York port authority shut down Newark airport at 3 a.m. "in the light of these tragic events and pending further investigation."
The plane smashed into a four-story apartment house in which 60 families were sleeping two minutes after its take-off for Miami. Both building and plane wreckage burst into flames.
It occurred within the same square mile of Elizabeth in which the two other airliners crashed Dec. 16 and Jan. 22, the first just after leaving Newark, the second while attempting an instrument landing. Engine trouble was the indicated cause of the latest disaster.
Fifty-nine passengers, including three babies in arms, and a crew of
Make-Believe War Toll Reaches 9
Camp Drum, N.Y.—(U.P.) A make-believe war at this rugged upstate military reservation became all too real today as Army officials counted nine dead and about 80 injured in "operation snowfall."
Seven men were killed and 25 injured in three separate accidents yesterday. Two paratroopers plummeted to their death in an earlier phase of the maneuvers staged to test operations under arctic conditions.
The plane, on a mission with 32 white-uniformed paratroopers and a crew of four careened 100 feet aircraft into an unoccupied parked airplane.
A twin-engined C-46 transport plane crashed while taking off from Wheeler-Scaks airfield here yesterday. Three were killed instantly and a fourth died in a camp hospital. Eighteen were hurt.
All of the dead were members of the plane's crew.
Some of the injured pulled themselves through the plane's rear door and stumbled to ambulances which rushed them to the camp hospital. All but five of the injured were treated and released.
Maj. Robert Eby said the paratroopers had been ordered to fasten their safety belts, which held them fast when the plane crashed.
"If it hadn't been for strict air discipline, the death toll would have been much higher." Eby said.
The crash did not stop flight operations. Other planes, took off over the wreckage while crews were removing the dead and injured.
Less than three hours after the crash, maneuver officials were told two members of the 11th Airborne division had been killed when a speeding 83-car New York Central Express struck at an open grade crossing near Spragueville, N.Y., about 50 miles north of the camp;
Five soldiers hurt in the train-truck accident were taken to a Gouverneur, N.Y. hospital. Their injuries were not considered serious.
four were on board. Twenty-two passengers, three crewmen, and four residents of the building were killed. Thirty-one passengers and nine residents were in hospitals, some gravely injured.
In addition, five persons were missing and may prove to be dead. Several passengers and the stewardess Nancy Taylor, 22, were hardly injured.
The plane was in trouble practically from the instant its wheels left the runway.
Miss Taylor said: "All of a sudden the engines sputtered and stopped and then we went down." A passenger said he saw the propeller of the far right engine turning in reverse. The pilot Wayne G, Foster, radioed the control tower; "Lost an engine. Coming back."
Other passengers were conscious,
19 Dead, 10 Hurt In Snow Avalanche
Zurich, Switzerland —(U.P.)—Nineteen persons were killed last night when an avalanche, of snow crushed a ski resort in the Austrian Alps, police said today. Ten others were injured.
The avalanche buried the town of Melkoede, Austria, near the Austro-German border. It brought the death of two soldiers and storms, over the weekend, to 28.
Sixteen of the 19 killed when the snow crashed down Hochisen mountain were German ski enthusiasas.
Forecasters predicted no letup in the storms that have plagued the area for eight days.
Traffic and communications were cut off in parts of Switzerland, Italy, Austria Germany and France, and the Swiss mountain villages were evacuated.
Thirty other skiers were trapped in the inn at Melkoe, but moun-
tains of teams saved them. Among the dead, the inniekeeper and his wife and child.
Nine other persons were killed by avalanches in Switzerland and Italy—six yesterday.
News of the disaster at Melkoe came this morning from the nearby town of Mittelberg, which said the little town disappeared under the snow. Communications still were broken with Melkoe.
Trial Continued
Los Angeles — (U.P.) — A balding merchant seaman tells the second chapter today of the "inside story" on west coast Communism at the University of California, willing to teach and advocate the violent overthrow of the government.
David Saunders' testimony on his rise from a waterfront striker to a "communist functionary" was interrupted Last Friday when the ill-tempered Attorney Eric Schullman forced postponement of the trial.
in the seconds before disaster, of the pilot fighting to keep his plane in the air. Some said he got no higher than a few hundred feet and Miss Taylor said it was 1,000 to 1,500 feet. Then, suddenly, the plane "dropped like a shot," as one passenger put it.
The plane wavered on, skimming roof-tops. It barely cleared the roof of an orphanage in which 60 children were sleeping, and smashed into an apartment house.
It seemed to explode into fire with the impact, showering flames over the roof of the building. But only the heavy landing wheels and their gear struck the building, the funiture slid across the roof, flip-flopped and smashed into the muddy play field of the ophage.

The flames were licking along the outside of the fuselage, fed from the wing gas tanks. The impact checked them long enough for surviving passengers to save themselves less easily, who were injured too severely by their urgency rushed into the wreckage to aid in the rescue.
Meanwhile, the top floor of the apartment house already was roaring with fire. The occupants of the apartment hit directly were killed.
Foster and his co-pilot, C. E. Sinclair, were among the dead. The flight engineer, I. R. Shea, was among the dead.
The weather had nothing to do with the crash. It was a clear night when Foster gunned his ship down the runway.
Panmunjom, Korea — (U.P.)— The United Nations today challenged Communist China's right to take part in a post-armistice Korean peace conference.
Reds Challenged
Vice Admiral C. Turner Joy, head of the UN truce delegation, asked the Reds how China could claim a seat at the peace conference if she still contended that the only Chinese troops in Korea were "volunteers."
"They could not answer that question." Joy said after the plenary session. "It was the one choice bit of the day."
Joy also told communist negotiators that the UN would refuse to take any further action under the final item on the truce agenda if it was not approved, and proposed Korean peace conference to include other Asian problems.
"It is our view that if the commanders must make inappropriate recommendations . . . Then the UN command will be opposed to any recommendations being made," Joy said.
The final agenda item calls for recommendations to the belligerent government regarding a final peace settlement in Korea. It would be held 90 days after a truce has been signed.
Moreover, he said, the UN does not consider any of the recommendations proposed by the Reds essential to a truce.

London—(U.P.)—The body of King George VI was brought back to London today from Sandringham, where he died, and was borne in stately procession to Westminster to lie in state until his funeral Friday.

At the door of the hall waitee the Archbishop of York, second ranking prelate of the Church of England, acting for the ailing Archbishop of Canterbury; the
Lord Chamberlain, and the Duke of Norfolk. the hereditary Earl Marshal of Britain.
They received the body officially, and with the richly arrayed messengers, heralds, and kings-of-arms of the College of Arms accompanied by pennants draped cataleid on which pumice was placed until the burial at Windsor Friday.
In the procession through the long hall, walking by herself, behind her father's body, was Queen Elizabeth II.
Eighty-four-year-old Queen Mary, straight as a ramrod, and Queen Mother Elizabeth came next.
Princess Margaret, her beautiful face drawn, walked with the Duke of Edinburg, the new queen's consort.
The royal family gathered at the head of the coffin when it was placed on the catafalque.
TSS dddddddddd
The Archbishop of York conducted a brief service and then the officers of the crown led the royal family out of the hall.
