Richard C. Patterson, accepted
the theory that what the eye
witnesses actually saw fall
from the sky we're two gasoline
tanks pettisoned by the filters

Because the American plane
crashed in mountainous, heav-

lieved that nc search for the
tanks was made.
Earlier in the day, witnesses
TO the fighter attack on the c.
Al transport told American
questioners that the large plane
fell Almost in a vertical spiral
from about 1000 feet and that
just as it began its fatal dive
"two parachutes we're sighted"

ced earlier today that the bodies
of five U. S. fliers-the entire
crew of the C-47-had been
found in the a grave, it ap-
parently was before the graves

1.-THE basic principle Of our for
eign policy should be that of the
Good Neighbor".
So begins the foreign policy
platform adopted by the nation
wide Conference of Progress
sives" that met in Chicago this
past weekend.
AS speaker after speaker ham
mered home in his own way the
overwhelming demand of the ma
ton for peace, an executive ses-
sion of the meeting drafted a
comprehensive policy that recog-
nized the priority Of peace and
freedom from fear in a world
not fully recovered from the suf-
fering of war.
THE PLATFORM, its breadth
and comprehensiveness alone evil
dence Of the conferences urgent
desire to "get tough" about
peace, consists Of nine planks, all
framed to support constructive
foreign policy for the United
States.
The positive nature Of the pro-
gram fully makes up for its fall
ure to name names, as far as Sec
rotary Of State Byrnes and others
are concerned.
In spout of unanimity, the
discussion on foreign policy was
conferred on the basic issue of
war or peace, as 1t was so clearly
drawn by ex-Secretary of Com
merce Henry A. Wallace two
weeks ago.

good neighbor' policy

to the progressive globa1 think
ing of Franklin Roosevelt, the
platform stressed the need to
"recapture" the wartime unity
between the three great powers.
"Fascism must be destroyed"
the second point made, proposes
the eradication of the economic
and political bases of fascism in
the German cartels and the Japa-
nese ruling class, as well as a
quarantine of Spain and Argen-
tina.
imperialism - political, mill
tary, or economic = corrupts the
letter and spirit of the Atlantic
Charter, and must end every
where in the world, the declara-
ton stated.
POINTS four, five, and six sup
port a free, united, and indepen-
dent China, including withdraw
al of all foreign troops, admis-
sion of refugees to Palestine, and
greater assistance to the victims
of war.
Following our former Treasury
secretary Henry Morgenthau's
suggestion on how to reduce
taxes, point seven calls on the
United States government to take
the lead in a joint world disarma-
ment program.
The Conference treated the is
sue of atomic control without
equivocation, demanding that pre-
sent stockpiles of bombs be de-
stroyed, and manufacture stop
ped, with international agree
ment to outlaw atomic weapons.
