KENNEDY WILL HAVE LABOR
PROBLEM AWAITING HIM
WASHINGTON (£> — President
elect John F. Kennedy is going |
into office with about 5.5 million
Americans unemployed, his secre- |
tary of labor-designate said yes-!
terday.
Arthur J. Goldberg, talking with ■
reporters in a snowstorm outside
Kennedy’s Georgetown headquar
ters, said he thinks this is a con
servative estimate.
The figure for December, the
latest officially released, was
about 4V2 million, Goldberg said.
The unemployment trend has con
tinued since, he went on.
DR. PRESCRIBES ALCOHOL
FOR FRACTURE CASES
SALT LAKE CITY UP — AI
highball may be just the thing
for someone recovering from a
bone fracture, says a University
of Kansas expert.
Dr. Leonard F. Peltier told a
regional group of the American
College of Surgeons that alcohol
helps prevent formation of dan
gerous fatty clots in the blood
stream.
Such clots tend to form in frac
ture cases, explained Peltier, a
professor of orthopedics.
He urged an ounce of whisky
every four hours for four or
five days in fracture cases.
Worst pun of the year: Actor
Walter Slezak recalls the strip
tease dancer who was making her
debut and froze with stage fright
. . . from the wings came a loud
whisper, “Don’t just stand there
—undo something!”
Legion of Merit Medal
Awarded President's Son
WASHINGTON UP — The Army
pinned the Legion of Merit on
Lt. Col. John Eisenhower Thurs
day telling the son of the Presi
dent that he has done “illustrious
service as a White House staff
officer.
Secretary Wilber M. Brucker,
in making the award on behalf
of the President, told young Ei
senhower that “it isn’t very often
that a man with an illustrious
father, overshadowed by that,”
can so well carry out his own
career.
The colonel’s mother, his wife
and his daughter, Anne, 11, at
tended the ceremony.
Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower told
Brucker, “I’m sorry that his
father couldn’t have been here.”
The President was meeting with
President-elect Kennedy at the
White House.
The decoration was for the
“exceptional ability” displayed by
young Eisenhower as an assistant
defense liaison officer and assist
ant staff secretary to the Presi
dent in the period from October
1958 to yesterday.
Signs of our times: Seen on the
back of a truck: “I’m driving care
fully because I’m a coward."

The new head coach of the
New York Giants, Allie Sherman,
was a really tiny fellow as a high
school youngster. Yet he went
out for the football team, and
stood among the would-be play
ers as the coach separated them
into groups — hopeful quarter
backs, halfbacks, fullbacks, line
men. Finally, the coach got to
Sherman and asked: “What are
you?”
Sherman replied: “I’ll play any
thing, coach, just as long as I
play.”
The coach studied the small
youngster and answered:
“I suggest you try handball."

Jet Airliner Crashes
On Takeoff at Idlewild
102 Escape Death
NEW YORK UP — A jet airliner
crashed last night seconds after
taking off in a wind-whipped
snowstorm. The huge ship’s speed
sent it slamming across the high
way, clipping an auto and skid
ding in flames into a marsh.
Of the 106 persons reported
aboard, 102 escaped death, al
though at least 26 were injured,
several critically.
The dead tentatively were iden
tified as four of the eight crew
members — three men and the
woman purser. Sixty-one of the
98 passengers aboard the four
engine airlines are residents of
the United States.
The airliner, a DC8B of Aero
naves De Mexico, was bound
nonstop for Mexico City.
Efforts of aviation officials to
launch an investigation at the
crash scene were severely handi
capped as the heavy snowfall con
tinued today. Scattered 'bits of
wreckage were picked up but
concentrated efforts were im
possible.
Idlewild Airport observers said
the $5-million craft had to get
aloft to clear a concrete fence at
the end of the runway. The plane
did hit a wire fence just beyond
the concrete barrier. Sections of
the wire fence were enmeshed
in the wreckage.
The one person aboard who
might have the answer is William
B. Poe, 52, of Miami, Fla., check
pilot aboard the plane. But Poe’s
condition early today at St.
Joseph's Hospital in Queens was
described as critical.

13-52 Bomber Explodes
Over Utah Desert
MONTICELLO, Utah — One
of the United States’ biggest op
erational bombers exploded last
night with flash seen for hun
dreds of miles, hurling three
comets of flame to earth.
Today officials had accounted
for all but one of seven men
aboard the B52 jet as it flew
high over the southeast Utah
desert.
Two of them ejected from the
burning plane and parachuted to
safety.
The Utah Highway Patrol said
its last report from the scene
said four bodies were in the
wreckage.
There was some indication of
ficers thought the seventh man
may have parachuted, although
authorities declined comment. The
desert around the wreckage was
being searched carefully, after the
search had been 'halted during
the night.
The plane was from the 92 nd
Bomlb Wing at Biggs AFB. Offi
cials said it was on a routine
training mission and did not car
ry nuclear weapons.
