Eisenhower Puzzled by j
Show of Panama Hostility
WASHINGTON, — President j
Eisenhower said today he person-1
ally favors building a new Cen
tral American canal but opposes
internationalization of the Pan
ama Canal.
He added, however, that con- ]
struction of a new canal would!
involve a lot of technical matters j
and he may never recommend it.
Eisenhower’s comments were
made at a news conference at
which he was asked for his reac
tion to anti-American demonstra-!
tions in Panama during which
mob members hauled down the
American Embassy flag yester
day and destroyed it.
The President said he thought
this demonstration was carried on
by excitable groups and extrem
ists who had resorted to mob ac
tion. He said this action was
puzzling in the light of all the
efforts the United States has
made to treat Panama fairly.
Eisenhower said he has the con
fident hope that not only Panama
but every other civilized govern
ment will make certain that law
and order are preserved.
Crashing Jet Kills
Two Children
DAYTON, Ohio, (*>—'The pilot
of a jet fighter that slammed into
a house and killed two children
says “If I were blessed with fore
sight, I might have ridden it into
the ground.”
“You can’t know how I feel
about the aircraft going into a
house,” the pilot said after the
crash Monday.
The pilot, Maj. James Brad
bury, 34, the father of a small
daughter, bailed out of his plane.
But Air Force officials said he
did all he could, staying with the
supersonic F-104 Starfighter —
which had an explosion and lost
power—until it was out of con
trol and 500 feet below recom
mended minimum bail-out alti
tude.
Mrs. Grace Shoup, 34, mother
of the victims, was taken to
BrooHs Army Medical Center in
San Antonio, Tex., in an Air
Force hospital plane. Her condi
tion was described as critical at
the hospital, a burns treatment
center.
She ran screaming from the
burning building, a converted
brick school, with her clothes on
fire. The house, in rural Green
County near the Dayton suburb
of Kettering, was destroyed. Mrs.
Shoup’s daughters, Lori Ann, 2,
and Lynne Marie, 12, were killed.
Two other children, Billy, 10,
and Tommy, 8, were in school.
Mrs. Shoup’s husband, John, was
at work at the National Cash Reg
ister Co. in Dayton.
