PLANE CREW OF 10
STRANDED AT
SOUTH POLE
By DON GUY
McMURDO SOUND, Antarctica
Off—Engine trouble stranded the
10-man crew of a U.S. Navy plane
at the South Pole today.
The crew had flown to the two
mile-high polar plateau with sup
plies for a 23-member Seabee task
force building a base there for
International Geophysical Year
observation.
The fliers took their polar delay
philosophically. Before starting
their repair job, they broke out
sleeping bags from their survival
kits and turned in at one of the
three shelter huts the Seabees
have built in the last two weeks.
The grounded plane is a ski
equipped Navy Neptune with two
jet and two propeller engines. One
jet engine failed as it tried to take
off from the gritty ice and snow
at the pole. The mechanics will
have rough work repairing or re
placing the crippled engine in
temperatures that have ranged
from 30 below to 10 above zero.

Demonstrators
Clash in Budapest;
At Least 2 Killed
By ENDRE MABTON
BUDAPEST (tft—Pro-government
and nationalist demonstrators
clashed in Budapest yesterday and
witnesses said at least two men
were killed and several were
wounded.
The clash started when a group
of about 100 demonstrators siding
with Premier Janos Kadar and
carrying red flags met another
group of about the same size
bearing nationalist flags on Buda
pest’s great boulevard shortly
after noon.
The nationalists tried ao wrest
the red flag from the hands of the
i Communists and a general fist
fight was under way.
The Communists were escorted
protectively by Russian armored
cars. Some unidentified person
fired a pistol and the Russians
fired a volley above the heads of
the demonstrators.
The whole boulevard was emp
tied in a minute. Russian tanks
and armored cars rumbled up and
down the street, apparently 1o
frighten residents of the city.
Members of the Hungarian Of
ficer Corps stood at tie corners
with tommyguns ready for action.
They said a snip* was shooting
from a window, but they could
I not find him.
I Farther down the boulevard,
I toward the Danube and on Marx
; Square the crowd refused 'to dis
j perse and packed the sidewalks
I in a challenging mood.
Witnesses said the two killed
i in yesterday’s melee were Hun
| gariar. nationalists but could not
1 say who shot them, Russians or
Hungarians. The red flag borne
by the pro-Kadar demonstrators
disappeared in the turmoil.

jChou Endorses
U.S. Policy in U.N.
Debate on Suez
MADRAS, India. —Premier
Chou En-lai of Communist China
today endorsed the position taken
by the United States in the U.N.
debate on the Egyptian conflict.
He described it as "correct,” but
then said he was “more con
cerned” about two other ques
tions of American policy in the
Middle East.
“Is the United States trying to
take over British and French po
sitions in Egypt and does the Unit
ed States still support the British
and French idea of international
control of the Suez Canal?” Chou
asked.
He added that he supported the
policy of the African-Asian na
tions on Egypt “for an immediate
withdrawal of British - French
forces, with the United Nations
supervising their withdrawal and
helping clean up the canal.”

Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON
Two planets are now shining
brightly in the morning and are
visible in the southern and east
ern sky until sunrise. The highest
is Jupiter, while the one closer
to the sun is Venus.
Jupiter is the largest planet in
our solar system. The planet has
a bulging equator and flattened
area about the polies. The polar
depression is one-sixteenth of its
diameter. This makes the polar
dimeter 84,400 miles, several
thousand miles less than its equa
torial diameter of 90,200.
The largest planet is favorably
situated for observation three
months of the year. This planet
traveis eastward along the zodiac
and spends about 12 months in
each zodiacal constellation. It re
quires 12 of our years for Jupiter
to complete a revolution around
the sun.
Jupiter has two bands across its
center and luminous points on
each side called satellites.
Flash Fire on
Moving Elevated Train
Kills Engineer, Injures 40
CHICAGO, Iflt—A flash fire on
a moving four-car wooden coach
elevated train today killed the
motorman and injured an estimat
ed 40 passengers.
The Chicago Transit Authority
train was bound from suburban
Evanston to downtown Chicago.
The fire burst forth as the crowd
ed rush-hour string of cars neared
the Howard St. station.
Russel Lane, Associated Press
reporter who was riding in the
second car, said the sudden blaze,
confined to the first two cars,
threw passengers into a panic.
Lane said the first car, where
the blaze started, “went up like
a torch.” He said some passengers
in the forward car fought theif
way into other cars while many
riders leaped thru closed windows
to the elevated right of way.
Lane said he walked to the rear
of the long train and dropped to
the ground as other passengferts
fought to escape thru windows.
