Plane Crashes Near Boston
The Slick Airways, Inc., plane plunged into a lumber yard*on Castle Island, a jut of land separated from the airport by Boston Harbor. None of the lumber yard workers was injured.
BOSTON—(UPI)一A four-engine DC-4 cargo plane crashed and burned in a sleet storm while approaching Logan International Airport today, killing all three crewmen.
Rescue workers removed one body from the wreckage. A second was thrown 50 feet from the plane, giving rise to early reports that a lumber yard employee had been killed.
One yard worker said the plane "hit right into the ground nose first and burst into fire."
The plane was making an approach to runway 4R, the field's instrument landing strip, when it hit the island about 1/4 mile from the runway.
Witnesses said the plane approached the island at an altitude of about 40 feet when it should have been about 500 feet off the ground.
Hoffa Plans Appeal
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.—(UPI)—Defense attorneys for Teamsters President James R. Hoffa and three others convicted on Federal jury tampering charges, were expected to file motions for new trials here today.
James C. Haggerty Sr., Hoffa's chief legal counsel, said "my present play" is to request oral arguments on the motions.
U. S. District Court Judge Frank Wilson gave the defense 10 days to file the motions following Hoffa's conviction last Wednesday.
Hoffa and three codefendants, convicted of attempting to "corruptly influence" jurors during his 1962 conspiracy trial at Nashville, face sentencing by Wilson Thursday. They could draw prison terms up to 10 years.
Two other defendants in the case were found innocent.
Fighting Flares In Cyprus
NICOSIA, Cyprus—(UPI)—New fighting flared across Cyprus today and Vice-President Fazil Kuchuk "beseeched" Turkey, Greece and Britain to "rescue the Turkish Cypriots from the threat of genocide."
Kuchuk's message came as renewed communal warfare broke out in widely-separated towns and cities around the island, Greece, Turkey and Britain are guarantors of Cyprus' independence under the 1960 treaty. He asked them to fulfill their obligations.
At Paphos—the scene of yesterday's bloodshed—the Greek Cypriots accused the Turkish Cypriots of breaking the cease fire. The Greek controlled Cyprus news agency said the Greek Cypriots were "counterattacking, recapturing new posts."
The agency said British troops surrounded Turkish positions at the mountain town of Malia. But, it said, the Greek Cypriots "asked (them) to withdraw to avoid unpleasant consequences."

U.S. Notes Japan's Mixed Blessings
By Phil Newsom
She is a world leader in the fishing industry and in shipbuilding. Her industry runs the gamut from cotton blouses to the sewing machines with which to put them together. From tiny transistor radios to pianos.
Despite limited space and a population which soon will reach 100 million, she produces almost enough rice to feed herself. But there are offsetting factors.
By Dirk Newton (UPI Foreign News Analyst)
Prostrate at the end of World War II. Japan's economic growth since then has been leaping forward at rates exceeding 10 per cent per year.
Since 1960, consumer prices have jumped 25 per cent, threatening to nullify Premier Hayato Ikeda's announced goal of doubling national income within a decade.
Before World War II, Japanese exports consisted mostly of raw silk and cotton textiles. Today the emphasis is on heavy industry and chemicals, requiring huge imports of raw materials and equipment.
THE RESULT IS that expanding exports cannot keep up with imports and Japan, like the United States, has a balance of payments problem. This year the deficit is expected to amount to about $100 million. For next year some estimates have placed the deficit as high as $700 million.
These were among the subjects which Secretary of State Dean Rusk and a high ranking U.S. delegation discussed with their Japanese opposite numbers in Tokyo last month.
The United States wanted Japanese support for sweeping worldwide tariff cuts in the so-called "Kennedy round" to talks to begin in Geneva in May.
The Japanese wanted relief from quotas limiting the import of Japanese goods into the United
States and from a U.S. policy discouraging American investment abroad.
The talks were not conclusive but the United States recognized that Japan has special problems.
Despite the fact that Japan has withheld recognition from Peking,
she openly has expressed the wish to increase her trade with the Chinese mainland, now running at $137 million a year. The United States, which opposes free world trade with the Red Chinese, made no effort to persuade the Japanese to alter their course.
