plan until basic agreements had
been reached on atomic control.
During the assembly debate, the
United States insisted that atomic
control be given top priority in the
general program.
Meanwhile, Great Britain was re-

French proposal which would pro-
vide for automatic world action
against any nation guilty of major
violations of atomic control agree

The new plan was put forward
by Canada yesterday after it. ap-
peared that the United Nations
Atomic Energy commission might
become hopelessly deadlocked over
a U. S. proposal that the five big
covers surrender their power to
veto punishment for violators.
The Canadian proposal immedi-

Delegate Alexandra Parodl, who
earlier had suggested. informally
that such a measure might get
around the controversial veto
question without weakening the
atomic enforcement structure.

Another reason for British hope,
informed quarters said, was the
fact that Poland agreed to support
the Canadian proposal. Poland usu-
ally vote with Russia on most
major issues.
Prof. S. P. Alexandrov, who SUBJ
stituted for Soviet Delegate Andrei

recommendation and the Canadian

result, was left in doubt on the

The commission will meet aga:A
Jan. 3. It expects to complete its
findings in March.
The Thomas-Johnson statements
hig.h-pointed democratic opposition
to Mr.. Truman's plans for a broad
program of training on the v of
the converting of a republican
dominated Congress.
Thomas, chairman of the Senate
Military committee throughout the
war, said he will oppose any plan
that would force American youths
to serve six or nine months as
ground soldiers
A college professor before he
entered politics, Thomas said any
universal plan for training a
great mass of men overlooks the
major lessons from the recent
"mechanized warfare" with its
scientists and specialists.
johnson, r a G democratic
member of the military group, had
previously protested that the plan
would delegate the spiritual and
moral training of American youth
to the brass hats OF the Army and
Navy.
AS a result Johnson reported, he
has received a flood of mail and
kilograms from all over the coun-
try applauding his hand.

The plane ploweI for 500 to 600
yards long the grassy surface Of
the island. The grass was singed
on each side & the cash cut by
the plane in the soft earth.
At the spot where it stopped
sliding the ship burned fiercely
for many hours, trapping hopeless
ly the persons caught inside. For
those who lost their lives, an in
vestigator said, death was mercl-
fully swift.
Some survived because Of the
explosion, which threw them clear
of both the wreckage and flames.
Among those blasted to safety
was four-months-old Bruce Water
bury and his 19-year-old French
mother, Mrs. Edith Delaby Water
bury, who we're on their way to
Newark, N. j., to join their former
American soldier father and hus-

he tripped in a hole while crossing
the mud flat. But he carried on,
taking care Of the injured.
"By the light of the burning plane
1 could see the white faces of the
pe,ole in the flaming wreckase.
Some bodies were twisting on the
ground"
The hostess was Miss Vina Fer

the resourcefulness and efficiency
with which she set about helping
the injured.
She dragged unconscious persons
away from the fire, bandaged
wounds and directed the resources
when they came. She worked on
despite a wrenched knee.
But she was working On nerve.
She collapsed when she was being
taken to an ambulance.
Miss Ferguson and the pasSen-

the building appeared to be doomed.
Thirteen employees were working
in the elevator but reports given
police said all apparently escaped
unhurt.
One worker, not identified, told
the police he believed a fire caused
by friction touched off a dust ex-
plosion. He said that a conveyor
belt running into the cupola had
stuck but that the pulley mechanism
continued to function, possibly
creating enough heat to start a
small blaze.
Workmen said the elevator hous-

it was owned by the Mankato

ate of the elevator corporation.
A worker in a neighboring build
