Soviets Asked To Supply Details
On U. S. Plane Crash In Armenia
By ROY ESSOYAN
MOSCOW, UP! — U. S. Charge
d’Affairs Richard H. Davis de
livered an urgent request to the
Soviet Foreign Ministry Saturday
for information on 11 missing
crew members of a U. S. Air
plane which crashed in Soviet
Armenia.
The State Department said in
Washington the plane had been
intercepted by Soviet fighters but
did not charge it was shot down.
The note demanded information
on the whereabouts and condition
of the 11 men, their earliest re
turn if they are still alive and
the return of the bodies of six
other crew members killed in the
crash Sept. 2.
The Soviet government re
ported discovery of the plane’s
wreckage and the bodies of six
crewmen in a formal note deliv
ered to Davis yesterday, six days
after the U. S. government had
asked for information on the
missing plane, and 10 days after
the plane disappeared on a flight
in Turkey.
The State Department note also
asked the Soviet government to
allow embassy officials and other
experts to identify the bodies and
wreckage at the scene of the
crash.
It asked the Soviet government
to press a search for the missing
11 men if they have not been lo
cated so far.
The American note said Soviet
fighter planes were seen to inter
cept the plane on the Soviet
Turkish border. It demanded in
formation “on the full circum
stances surrounding and follow
ing interception of the • American
plane by Soviet aircraft.”
The Soviet note gave no indi
cation how the plane came down.
In Washington, the State De
partment said an investigation
showed a Cl30 was intercepted
by fighter planes in the border
scene and “was then directed
eastward und^j" control of Soviet
aircraft.
“Following this, .the sound of
an explosion was heard and a
column of smoke was seen rising
from behind a range of hills
within Soviet territory,” the State
Department said.
The Air Force said the plane
was taking part in a worldwide
study of radio wave propagation-.
Flying from Adana, Turkey, it
disappeared between Trabzon on
Turkey’s Black Sea coast and
Lake Van, Turkey. A straight line
between the two points would
parallel the Soviet border about
100 miles to the east.

British Finallly Get Rid of
Iceland Coastguardsmen
Captured in ‘Codfish’ War
LONDON, m—'The British frig
ate Eastboure finally succeeded
Saturday in sending home nine
Icelandic coastguardsme who had
been uwelcome and unwilling pas
sengers for 11 days.
The Icelanders from the gun
boat Thor boarded the British
trawler Norther Foam on Sept. 2
to arrest its crew for fishing in
side the nation’s new 12-mile
limit. The Eastbourne, on duty to
protect British trawlers that re
fuse to recognize and are defying
Iceland’s fishing ban, took them
from the trawler.
Then the nine refused to return
to the Thor. The British called j
them guests of the Eastbourne, |
Iceland called them prisoners.
They' were landed at Keflavik
Village early this morning by
boat, the Admiralty said, without
giving details.
The Icelandic radio later said
the men got into a taxi and drove
the-" 30 miles to Reykjavik, the
capital.
The codfish war has been fairly
quiet in the past few days, with
most of the British trawlers out
side the 12-mile limit because the
catch was poor nearer shore.

Appeals Court
Rules On Trials
Of Non-Military
WASHINGTON, UP) — The U. S.
Court of Appeals ruled last Fri
day that military courts cannot
try civilians for crimes committed
while employed by the armed
forces overseas in peacetime.
The dissenting judge in the 2-1
ruling said the majority holding
would strike down, for all prac
tical purposes, the uniform code
of military justice relating to
peacetime trials of nonmilitary
personnel.
The majority overruled the con
viction cf Dominic Guagliardo,
Tampa, Fla., convicted of con
spiring to commit larceny while
employed by the Air Force in
Morroco. Guagliardo, an electri
cal lineman, received a three
year sentence and a $1,000 fine.
He has been free under bond
pending the outcome of his appeal.
The majority opinion said the
ruling leaves Congress free to
rewrite the legislation governing
court-martail justice.

Preparing Your Child For School
Going to school for the first time is an exciting adventure for any
child. If he has had proper preparation, both emotional and physical,
school will continue to be a pleasant experience to which he will look
forward every day.
A positive attitude toward school on the part of parents is essential
ii me cnuu is apprimcii it as a '
desirable thing. This proper atti
tude should be expressed over a
period of time, and not just in
the last few months before school
starts. An early check with
school authorities will reveal the
many ways there are to interest
your child in school.
The emotional preparation is
almost entirely up to the parents.
Physical preparation, however,
is required by school authorities
just prior to start of school. This
usually consists of a fairly thor
ough physical, vaccination
against small pox and injections
of Toxoids against diptheria,
whooping cough and tetanus. It
is because of this widespread at
tention to health that we have so
few epidemic illnesses in our
schools.
Practically all children have
been to a doctor long before
preparation for school is started,
so this visit need not cause undue
•j difficulty. The child can be ex
amined by the family physician,
a pediatrician or th£ school doc
tor. Since it is required by most
schools, it is best to prepare in
advance a medical record of this
child for the school doctor, list
; ing especially contagious dis
eases he may have had and the
dates of his vaccination and in
jections. A check wuth the family
doctor wrill give you this infor
mation. Most schools give a medi
cal history form for this to be
filled in by the parents at home.
A pre-school examination will
record height, weight, condition
of the eyes, teeth, heart and, in
some instances, a blood and*urine
examination. Tests will be made
for resistance to tuberculosis ard
diphtheria. All children must
i have a smallpox vaccination and
in many schools booster shots for
diphtflfria, w’hooping cough and
tetanus are strongly recom
! mended.9
If some deficiency is found in
this pre-school exn."* I ration,
proper medical treatn.-nt will be
prescribed. It may be that a visit
to the dentist is necessary. Or the
child needs glasses. Or his diet
may not be adequate, causing
listlessness and indifference.
These things caught early
enough and corrected can have a
definite bearing on not only the
child’s attitude, but on his
grades.
But this pre-school examina
tion does not end the need for
constant checking by your doc
tor. It is a good practice to have
every child, regardless of age,
examined before school starts,
for it may be that while he did
not need glasses the year before,
a condition calling for glasses
could have developed during the
summer. And the teeth, many
times the culprit causing other
illnesses, should be examined.
Most schools demand yearly ex
aminations by the school doctor
or a report from the family phy
sician.
It is not uncommon for such
examinations to reveal that sor.e
inadequacy at school, such a > iow
grades or had behavior, is^ act
ually caused by an unseen physi
cal disturbance. These obstacles
can be avoided by proper medical
attention.
