New Hearings on
Campaign Fund
Offer to Sen. Case
WASHINGTON, If)—A special
Senate committee headed by Sen.
George (D-Ga) suddenly called
new public hearings today on a
$2,500 campaign fund offer to
Sen. Case <R-SD* during the Sen
ate gas bill fight. George said the
group had decided to expand the
scope of its investigation.
George said Donald R. Ross,
who resigned last week as U.S.
district attorney for Nebraska,
may be one of the witnesses.
Reporters asked whether the
new hearings meant a search for
evidence that other senators may
have received offers similar to the
one to Case. “In a general way,”
George replied.
In previous hearings, the com
mittee developed that John M.
Neff, of Lexington, Neb., a lawyer
lobbyist for Superior oil, left 25
$100 bills with friends of Case for
the senator’s campaign fund.
Across the capitol, meantime,
the House formally put the gas
bill away in a pigeonhole for this
session. It heard a clerk read
President Eisenhower’s message
vetoing the bill to exempt gas
producers from direct federal
price control. Then it referred the
vetoed bill to its Interstate Com
merce Committee.

permission for the Siberia leg of
the flight.
The Soviet note said: “In reply

Transport Crash
Kills 51 Aboard
VALLETTA, Malta, UP1—A four
engine plane carrying British
troops home from Egypt crashed
and burned at Luqa airport Sat
urday, killing all 51 persons
aboard, including a stewardess.
A War Office announcement
said the private plane, chartered
to ferry British soldiers and their
dependents between Britain and
Malta, crashed on take-off at
Luqa, the principal airport on the
Mediterranean island.
The plane was owned by Scot
tish Airlines. A Ministry of Civil
Aviation spokesman said that all
aboard—45 British servicemen
and six crewmen—were killed.
The plane was a York, a four
engine high wing monoplane used
for transport and troop carrying.
The York carries 50 to 60 passen
gers and has a flying weight of 30
tons and a cruising speed of 275
miles an hour. It is a civilian de

caster bomber.
23 Survive Airliner's
Crash Landing
In Air Age Miracle
OWENSBORO, Ky., UPt—Twen
ty-three persons climbed out of
an upside-down Eastern Air Lines
passenger plane Friday and
counted just one broken bone.
A miracle of the air age was
credited for the fact that no lives
were lost when the twin-engine
liner missed the runway making
a landing.
It sheared off a wing, nosed
I over on its back and slid about
the length of a football field in
the mud.
The 28 passengers and 3 crew
men said a major factor in saving
them from death or serious injury
was the plane’s safety belts. They
also had kind words for Robert
Schroter of Chicago, the steward.
He was credited with keeping the
passengers calm.
The plane was enroute from
Evansville, Ind., to Chicago via
Owensboro and Louisville.

Marine’s Transport Plane Crashes,
In California Killing All 3ft Men
OAKLAND, Calif., MP>—A Ma-'
rine Corps transport plane Friday
crashed just below the fog-cov
ered ridge of a tight 'box canyon
southeast of Oakland, killing all
38 men aboard.
The crash was the second major
military air disaster within 24
hours in the San Francisco Bay
area. Four men died Thursday
and four others escaped when an
Air Force B-52 jet bomber blew
up over nearby Tracy.
The big marine plane was just
21 miles—9 minutes—from ' a
landing at Alameda Naval Air
Station on a flight from El Toro
and Camp Pendleton marine bases
in southern California.
The RD-5, Marine Corps equiv
alent of the DC-4, carried five
crewmen. The others, clad in
dungerees, were being transferred
to Treasure Island Navy Base for
reassignment. One passenger was
from El Toro, the others from
Camp Pendleton.
The pilot was Maj. Alexander
Watson, 32, a Silver Star winner
in the Korean War.
Maj. Watson’s last report was
at 1:42 p.m., notifying Oakland
Municipal Airport he was starting
an approach toward the nearby
i Naval air station.
The fog and mist was so heavy
helicopters failed for hours to find
the wreckage 1,300 feet up in the
dense brush country 3Vfc miles
from Niles on the eastern side of
San Francisco Bay.
The area has claimed 123 lives
in three major plane crashes with
in 4t£ years. Besides the 38 killed
in this accident, 35 were killed
March 20, 1953, in a Transocean
Air Lines DC-4, and another 50
died Aug. 25, 1951, in a United
Airlines DC-6.
Rancher Ray Stephens nar
rowed the hunt for the missing
marine plane when he reported
hearing a “terrific crash.” Noise
from the low-flying plane caused
him to run outside his house.
“About two seconds after I saw [
it and thought it was going to,
hit the hill opposite me I heard a
terrific crash.”
Rescue parties had slow going
over the rain-slick hills and the
brush was so thick that no place
could be found to land helicopters.
Marine officers are trying to
find why the tragedy was com
pounded by release of an errone
ous casualty list based on the
passenger manifest of a planeload
of marines which landed safely
| at nearby Alameda naval Air Sta
tion.
Some parents of men on the
wrong list, many notified by the
Defense Department in Washing
ton that their sons had perished,
had telephone calls from their
sons that it was a mistake. A cor
rected death list, "roekbound and
final,” was released early yester
day from Camp Pendleton.
