House or Senate will come from
the north and west — “and
thereby increase the influence of
the left wing.”
Alcorn said this would lead to
“leftwing radicals” taking con
trol of the party in Congress.
Looking at it a different way,
the Committee for an Effective
Congress predicted Democratic
gains in both Senate and House
and said that as a result of the
November 4 elections “the Sen
ate will shift in a liberal direc
tion.” _
The committee describes itself
as a nonpartisan group. It has
helped finance campaigns of can
didates it regards as liberals.
In other political developments:
1. Secretary of Labor Mitchell
criticized political activities of
Walter Reuther, president of the
United Auto Workers. Mitchell
said in a TV interview from
Washington that “unfortunately”
Walter is too tied up with the
Democratic party to render the
best service to his people.”
2. Alcorn struck at Democratic
National Chairman Paul Butler
for saying Republicans are using
ugly language instead of talking
issues. Alcorn turned the charge
back at Butler and said other
Democratic speakers “were blast
ing to bits Mr. Butler’s phony
claims” about his party’s re
straint.
3. The New York Times said
Republican Nelson Rockefeller
apparently leads Democratic Gov
ernor Averell Harriman in their
battle for the New York gover
norship.

British Goodwill
Jet Crashes At
Detroit Riverfront
DETROIT, (#> — A British jet
bomber on a combined goodwill
and training mission exploded
and crashed in flames in a De
troit riverfront residential area
Friday. It just missed a big hos
pital.
None of the residents of the
neighborhood were killed, al
though three houses were torn
apart by the flaming wreckage and
at least a score were damaged.
Almost unbelievably, only two
residents required hospital treat
ment. v
The plane carried a crew of six.
No survivor had been found in
more than 12 hours. Bits, no more,
of bodies were strewn among the
debris.
The huge bomber — 95 feet
long, with a 100-foot wingspan
and weighing about 70 tons —
fell only about 1,000 feet short of
a river-front U. S. Public Health
Service hospital, which has 170
patients and a staff of 30.
Trailing smoke and flame, the
triangulr Delta-wing Vulcan
roared tree-top high, clipping
leaves and branches in an appar
ent desperate attempt to make
the river.
But before it reached the water
it blew apart with a tremendous
explosion.
The British Air Ministry in
London said the ship was from
the 83rd Squadron of the Royal
Air Force Bomber Command
based at Waddington Air Base
near Lincoln, England.
Its captain, Fit. Lt* John Wil
loughby Moore, carried a mes
sage of good will from the mayor
of that city to the mayor of Lin
coln, Neb., near headquarters of
the U. S. Strategic Air Command.

Mysterious „ Blast
Devastates Heart
Of Canadian City
OTTAWA, UR — A shattering
blast of mysterious origin wrecked
buildings in the heart of this Ca
nadian metropolis, inj uring about
35 persons and causing devasta
tion reminiscent of wartime
scenes.
There were conflicting reports
on deaths. First word was that
the explosion — possibly from
natural gas or a boiler — had
taken several lives. Police said
they had no reports of any dead.
Initial estimates listed damage
at more than two million dollars
in the Bank-Slater Streets of
downtown Ottawa. Windows were
blown out for miles in every di
rection.
Badly hit by the shock was the
nine-story Jackson Building, con
taining government offices. Many
other smaller structures were
shattered.
Police and firemen dug fever
ishly into ruins.
Sporadic small fires broke out.
Utilities workers struggled to halt
a threat of further explosions or
fires from broken gas mains.
Authorities said the only thing
that prevented huge casualties
was the fact that the area was
relatively quiet because it was
Saturday morning. Few people
were on the streets when the blast
came at 8:17.
Even so, an ambulance driver
said several persons who had
been walking along outside a de
partment store were “sucked right
into the store” through shattered
windows.
The explosion was heard for
miles.
Trumpeter Swan
Population Increases
WASHINGTON, UR — Recent
aerial surveys indicate the main
land U. S. trumpeter swan popu
lation has reached 735. That is
the highest number since special
conservation efforts were started
30 years ago.
Included are 147 cygnets —
this year’s young — and six
swans held in captivity, the Fish
and Wildlife Service reported
today.
The estimate represents an in
crease of 247 birds over the num
ber located last year, but the
service said it was convinced that
a sizeable flock was missed last
Vear and spotted in the surveyed
area this fall.
