Jet crashes in Tokyo; 65 feared dead,6 hurt
TOKYO—(UPI)—A Canadian Pacific Airlines DC8 jetliner with 71 persons reported aboard struck a sea wall while landing in heavy fog last night and disintegrated into a mass of flaming wreckage that spewed the dead and survivors along half a mile of the runway.
E. W. Ogden, Far Eastern regional sales manager of the airlines, said there were 62 passengers and nine crewmen aboard the sleek swept-wing plane,
which was making an intermediate stop at Tokyo's International Airport on a flight from Hong Kong to Vancouver, B.C.
THERE WERE only six known survivors, all badly burned, in the Takano Hospital. But heavy fog rolling in from the sea blanketed the area and caused great confusion. The airport was closed a few minutes after the crash occurred at 5:14 a.m.
The disaster occurred one month to the day, almost to the
hour, of the crash of an All Nippon Airlines Boeing 727 jetliner in Tokyo Bay. That crash killed all 133 persons aboard, making it the worst accident in aviation history involving a single plane.
This crash was believed to be the worst in the history of the Canadian Pacific Airlines. In July last year 52 persons were killed when a DC6B exploded about 150 miles north of Vancouver.
Warnings possible for foreign ships
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Something akin to the warning label on a pack of cigarettes may be in store for the foreign-flag cruise ships operating out of American ports.
The White House is reported to be considering asking Congress for authority to require that a cautionary note be included in advertisements for such cruises.
REP. PAUL G. ROGERS (D.-Fla.), a senior member of the House Merchant Marine Committee, introduced legislation to that effect this week. His bill was prompted by the sinking last fall of the Yarmouth Castle, a 38-year-old cruise ship of Panamanian registry whose structure contained much wood and other "combustible materials."
A Coast Guard board of inquiry yesterday made public a highly critical report on its investigation of the tragedy.
Under Rogers' bill the American vacationer would be forewarned by a declaration in cruise line ads reading: "Foreign-flag passenger vessels are not subject to the U.S. Coast Guard safety inspections required of U.S.-flag passenger vessels."
NOT ALL FOREIGN ships are less safe than their U.S. counterparts. Some may even be safer.
The difficulty is that in inspecting foreign ships, the Coast Guard can only apply the standards set by international conventions, standards that are not as stringent as those imposed by U.S. law.
In order to be fair to foreign ships, Rogers is considering some way to permit these vessels to be inspected by U.S. standards and to advertise that they have passed those tests.
All of this would be unneeded if international standards could be raised. The United States is expected to make such an effort.
THE JAPANESE Broadcasting Co. (NHK) reported at least 20 dead and that only three persons had been found alive and removed to hospitals.
Wreckage was reported burning for 500 yards along the runway and witnesses to the crash said debris was scattered at least a half mile.
The fog closed in so heavily on the airport that the field was closed to traffic shortly after the crash.
One report said the plane slammed into a sea embankment on the approach to the field, then burst into flames. A reporter said the embankment was reduced to rubble for a distance of 50 yards.
The Tokyo fire department sent nine chemical foam trucks and 11 ambulances to the scene.

Guinea honors Nkrumah
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia — (UPI) — Guinean Ambassador Abdoulaye Diallo said today deposed Ghana President Kwame Nkrumah "has all the rights and duties" of the Guinean Presidency but Sekou Toure still was chief executive of the West African country.
TODAL'S STATEMENT by Diallo inscribed Nkrumah has been given what amounts to an horizonary presidency of Guinea.
This was a different version of what Diallo reported at a news conference here yesterday. He said then that Toure had "resigned" in favor of Nkrumah.
Toure, the ambassador said, "entrusted" Nkrumah "with the leadership of the government and democratic party of Guinea" under a provision of the Guinean constitution which considers all Africans "who are instruments of the African revolution" as citizens of Guinea.

U.S. bombs train line between China, Hanoi
SAIGON—(UPI)—U.S. Navy and Air Force planes bombed and strafed the vital railroad line linking Communist China and North Viet Nam for the first time since bombing of the north was resumed Feb. 1, a U.S. military spokesman disclosed today.
The attack by Air Force F105 Thunderchiefs and Navy F4C Phantom jets ranged across the so-called "Hanoi-Haiphong line" in the Red River Valley heartland throughout much of yesterday and far into the night. Their bombs and rockets inflicted the heaviest damage on North Viet Nam since the end of the 37-day bombing lull.
In the south, U.S. 1st Infantry Division troops operating only yards from the Cambodian border captured enough food and supplies to equip 1,000 Communist troops for a month, an American spokesman said. The seizure occurred 10 miles southwest of Tay Ninh City about 50 miles northwest of Saigon.
