Judge Rules for “Wets”
In Spenard Controversy
On Legality of Liquor
ANCHORAGE, OP)—An eight
months’ “wet-dry” controversy
ended Saturday with Judge J. L.
McCarrey’s ruling the five liquor
establishments in suburban Spe
nard could reopen their doors.
A group of ministers had pro
tested the applications on the
grounds that the required “con
sent” petitions and census figures
on whihc they were based were
inadequate. Special master George
McLaughlin, appointed by the
court to investigate the applica
tions, had held that only two were
entitled to licenses.
But Judge McCarrey over-ruled
McLaughlin. The ruling also
means that the establishments
will not have to go through the
petitioning process again to re
ceive licenses in coming years.

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., UPt—
The United States put its latest
cold war brush with Russia be
fore the United Nations Tuesday.
U.S. Delegate Henry Cabot Lodge
Jr. asked for an “early meeting”
of the Security Council to take up
the shooting down of a U.S. Navy
plane off Siberia Saturday by
Soviet jet fighters.
The Navy plane was the sixth
U.S. military aircraft shot down
by the Soviets either in Europe or
over the Pacific, but this was the
first time the United States has
brought such an incident before
the Security Council.
Lodge returned unexpectedly to
New York from a holiday at his
Beverly, Mass., home to make the
surprise move. He telephoned his
request for the council meeting
Monday night to Francisco Urru
tia of Colombia, the 11-nation
group’s president for September.
Aides on the U.S. delegation
said he would follow up with a
formal request by letter Tuesday.
In a brief statement from his
delegation headquarters, Lodge
said he had asked the council
meeting “to consider the situation
arising from the unprovoked at
tack ... by aircraft of the Soviet
Union over international waters.”
Nine of the 10 U.S. crewmen
aboard the two-engine Neptune
patrol bomber were rescued un
harmed after drifting all night on
a raft. One man, Ensign Roger
Henry Reid of Alameda, Calif.,
apparently went down with the
plane.
The survivors said they were
on a routine patrol mission well
off the Siberian coast when two
Mig 15 jets opened fire on them
without warning. With one wing
on fire, the plane crashed and
sank in the sea. The United States
protested the attack 'as “wanton
and upnrovoked” in a strongly
worded note to the Moscow gov
ernment.
Before its delivery, however,
the Soviet Foreign Office had
handed U.S. Ambassador Charles
E. Bohlen a protest charging that
the U.S. plane had flown within
the Soviet frontiers and opened
fire on two Soviet fighters which
approached it. The Russian note
said the Red pilots “were forced
to open fire in return.”
Charles Daniel Named
U.S. Senator From N.C.
COLUMBIA, S.C., IjTI—Charles
E. Daniel, president of a large
Greenville construction firm, was
named by Gov. James F. Byrnes
to the U.S. Senate.
The 59-year-old Democrat will
fill out the unexpired term of
Sen. Burnet R. Maybank, which
ends Jan. 2. Sen. Maybahks died
of a heart attack last Wednesday.
To replace Maybank as the
Democratic nominee for the full
term, the state Democratic Execu
tive Committee picked Edgar A.
Brown, veteran state senator.

Dutch Plane Crash
In Shannon River
SHANNON AIRPORT, Ireland,
W)—A salvage crew equipped with
big balloons arrived here Tuesday
to attempt to recover the Dutch
KLM airliner which crashed in
the Shannon River Sunday.
Twenty-eight persons died and
28 survived the crash.
Royal Air Force salvage experts
plan to place the balloons inside
the sunken fuselage, inflate them,
and during high tide tow the
plane toward the river bank.
A coroner’s inquest was told
Monday that 25 persons trapped
in the plane’s cabin died of as
phyxiation from gasoline fumes.
Adrian Viruly, captain of the
plane, said quick action on the
part of Elizabeth Snyder, a 25
year-old New York business wo
man, “prevented a terrific explo
sion which would have torn the
craft to bits.”
As the plane was sinking into
the river and gasoline fumes
poured into the cabin, he said,
Miss Snyder knocked a box of
matches from the hands of a
dazed passenger about to light a
cigarette.
The crash of the big plane, in
early morning darkness only two
miles from the airport, probably
was caused by an instrument fail
ure, KLM President A. I. Aler
told reporters in Amsterdam after
talking with surviving passengers
and crewmen.
Fish Suffocate In
Chesapeake Bay
BALTIMORE, *—Suffocation
apparently caused the death of
thousands of fish found floating
on the surface of Chesapeake Bay
over the Labor Day weekend,
marine experts say.
Paul McKee, director of the
Maryland water pollution control
commission, said engineers who
took water samples reported that
an upwelling of lower levels of
water containing very little oxy
gen had caused the fish to suffo
cate. Also, the hot, dry summer
weather had taken some oxygen
out of the layers of water closest
to the surface, it was explained.
The recent hurricane winds
were blamed for causing the up
welling of the submerged layers
of water.
The dead fish were mostly of
the herring family—alewives, yel
low perch and white perch.

Her parents are Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Ponder of Cape Girar
deau.
