Search Turns To Mountains
Imposing Superstition mountain borders the normal flying route from El Paso to Phoenix and is well-known for its storms of the most violent kind. The navy craft disappeared during a driving wind and rain storm which swept over most of southern Arizona and New Mexico Wednesday.
Williams Air Force Base, Ariz.
Oct. 21—(U.P.)-The search for three missing navy fighter planes turned today to virtually impregnable Superstition mountain, resting place of the legendary Lost Dutchman Gold mine.
Reports from Miami, Ariz., only a few air miles from the famed mountain, placed three planes in the vicinity on schedule and on course early Wednesday.
Search authorities said the reporting residents were unable to positively identify the planes as F4U Vought-Corsair, the type of the missing fighters.
First clue the planes might have been forced down on the mountain, which rises several thousand feet off the floor of the encircling desert, came when a Safford, Ariz. resident reported he saw three low-flying aircraft about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday. This could have placed the pilots on schedule and on course.

Thursday Dr. Counts was honored at a luncheon at Baker university in Baldwin, Kan. George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education, attended the luncheon.

He will also stress the difficulty in comparing the Soviet Union with the United States.

Flushing, N. Y., Oct. 21—(U.P.) Western diplomats will air the Czechoslovakian purge of middle classes before the United Nations general assembly today in the debate on Balkan violations of human rights.
United Nations To Air Purge Of Middle Class
There was no plan to make the Czech arrests a formal item on the assembly's agenda. However, there was a strong possibility the situation would be aired thoroughly, as the North Atlantic pact was last year, without ever appearing on the assembly's business sheet.
Rodrigo Gonzales Chilean delegate, Allendes said he would discuss the Czech purge arrests when he speaks on the Balkan human rights issue.
Thus Czechoslovakia would become the fourth Balkan country under fire. Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania already were under the U.N. spotlight for their refusal to arbitrate the treaty dispute arising from the Balkan church trials.
It also would be the second slap at Czechoslovakia in as many days. The assembly applauded Yugoslavia's defection from the Kremlin-directed Cominform Thursday by electing it to a security council seat over the Russian-backed Czechs.
The assembly will debate a resolution passed by its special political committee under which the International Court of Justice at the Hague would be called upon to decide whether a dispute arising from human rights exists in the meaning of the Balkan peace treaties with the United States, Russia and Britain.
Britain and the United States charged the Balkan countries with violation of human rights in the prosecution of Joseph Cardinal Mindszenteny and other Roman Catholic and protestant churchmen.
11 Communists Sentenced Today
The western charges were rejected, and the United States and Britain sought to bring into operation the mechanism for settling disputes that is established in the peace treaties. Russia, supporting her Balexists. The eastern European counkan satellites, insist that no dispute tries contend that the churchmen were tried and sentenced for treason.
New York, Oct. 21—(U.P.) The Eleven top leaders of the American Communist party were sentenced to prison for conspiring to teach and advocate the overthrow of the United States government by force and violence.
Federal Judge Harold R. Medina sentenced all of the defendants except Robert G. Thompson, New York State Communist party chairman, to five year prison terms and fines of $10,000. Simpson was sentenced to three years and a $10,000 fine.
