BY the Associoted Pres,

PENSACOLA, Fla, May 11.-Eye-
witness accounts of the collision and
crash of two four -engined Navy
bombers which cost q lives cor
roborated the Navy version of the
accident in some details, but differed
with the official account in others.
Identification of the naval air.
men awaited notification of next of
kin today.
The accident occurred during SIM
ulated fighter plane attacks north OF
here yesterday morning near Nun
son and the Florida Alabama
border.
Officials of the Pensacola Naval
Air Station, where the men and
planes were based, gave this version
in formal statement last night:
The two bombers, identified as
Navy PR-4Ys, were flying in a
phase of a training program with a
Hellcat fighter craft. The bombers
were turning to avoid a practice
attack by the fighter plane when
the lead craft was struck by the
one flying wing position.
One engine of the lead bomber
was knocked out and the plane went
into a spin and crashed. The othel
bombers flew straight ahead for 6
time, then also spun and crashed.
The Hellcat pilot, unidentified by
Navy officials, witnessed the acci.
dent and radioed for help.

from the Senate, i'll, when the Shep-
ard appointment went through, and
it was approved because the Record
er of Deeds Office had been given
to colored man for many years.
In the national and international
field, Mr.. Collins makes a plea for
the preservation of world peace;
for simplification of the CT Bill of
Rights; for a $3,0OO-a-year tax ex-
emption for war veterans, and for
liberalization of Federal old-age
pensions, so that equal amounts will
be paid throughout the country,
whether a State is rich or poor.
Pointing out the high national
debt, Mr.. Collins called for the
wedding out of agencies not needed
in time of peace. Warning that
atomic energy would wipe out civili-
cation if there should be another
war, he urged nations to settle their
difficulties peacefully, just as indi-
viduals settle their disputes in court
Mr.. Collins says one of the charges
being raised against him is that he
dyes his hair.
WELL" he observes, I imagine I'm
the only human being you ever saw
who dyed his hair gray.

threats and personal abuse of me
will only make me more steadfast in
my purpose"
Senator Byrd said the organiza-
TONS "denunciation" of him came
shortly after he introduced a bill
to compel unions to incorporate
and make reports of their financial
receipts and disbursements, and like
wise to be held financially response
BILE. for their contracts.
THE last thing arrogant 1abo,
leaders want" he added, lis for union
members who pay their dues to know
how their money is SPENT
The Virginia legislator said he
favors collective bargaining and be-
lieves unions have a proper and
rightful place in the Nations econ
omy. He added sooner or later the
great rank and file of the working
men will realize that such leaders
as Hillman, Lewis and Petrillo are
doing infinitely more harm to them
and to the labor union movement
than the most violent opponent of
labor unions could possibly accom-
plish."
Republican National Chairman
B. Carroll Reece said last night
that his party would gain at least
40 House seats in the next election
despite the CIO and their $4,000, 900
fund to defeat u.s.
"The PAC has marked for slaugh-
ter all those who have not taken
their cue from Sidney Hillman,' ~
he said in an interview over the
Mutual Broadcasting System. 1.-THE
PAC is Communist dominated and
takes its orders from a foreign
power. That power is Russia"

Navy and Eyewitnesses Tell
How ~ Died in Air Crash

Navy searchers at first announced
IA bodies had been found in one
plane, 13 in another and one body
short distance from the scene. To-
day, however, officials at the naval
station here adjusted the death toll
to 81, saying one body found under
an engine had been counted twice.
An eyewitness to the tragic double
crash, L. c. Cook, dispatcher for
the State Forest Service at Munson,
said the fighter plane was making
runs on the bombers when he saw
the planes roaring overhead about
10:30 am. and that a few minutes
later he saw column of smoke
rising in the woods some distance
away.
A ranger sent to investigate came
on the burning wreckage of the big
ships about miles north, Mr.. Cook
said.
The official Navy statement did
not refer to fire in connection with
the accident.

block holding the peace conference.
This practically amounts to the use
of the veto, and it would be carrying
the veto too far to block the right

ninsula and Venezia Giulia; and AL
bania by various buildings in that
country which are technically owned
by Italians.
