Home bound Servieemen Meet Death Bodies Are
 Broken, Dismembered

HOLYOKE, Mass, July 10.- Twenty-Five Army, Navy and Coast Guard men-the entire crew and passenger list of a converted flying Fortress carrying the homeward- bound service men from Gander, Newfoundland were killed last night when the plane crashed against 1,200-toot Mount Tom
 Salvage crews summoned to the scene of New England's worst air disaster, labored today on the mist shrouded hill that rises, abrupt ana alone, above the Connecticut Val ley not far from Westover Field. In nearby Chicopee, where the plane was to have landed at 8:21 EST, last night.
 Bodies Broken
 The broken bodies of the occu- pants, whose names were withheld pending notification of next of kin, were scattered among the planes wreckage along a 400-foot swath shorn by the crashing B-17 through dense woods 200 feet from the hill- top.
 Army rescue forces who struggled up a steep, cobblestoned road, re- ported that by daybreak they had recovered about 20 bodies and had taken them to Holyoke funeral homes.
 nGgu, Charred Wreckage
 Five bodies were believed still in the smoking, charred wreckage that was spread in small pieces over the quarter mile square area. During the morning, many hours after the crash, the woods still were smoking and occasional bursts of flame kept Army guards busy with portable extirguishers. Engine na- celles and mangled parts of the fusilage still gave off an intense heat.
 Bodies Dismembered
 ALLY oPNSNAobSSt uAAeeO eAAS pilot, possibly unfamiliar with the terrain, did not observe the moun- tain until it was too late.
 Most of the bodies were badly dismembered by the impact of the crash that newed down trees a foot in diameter.
 Holyoke police, gathering reports from witnesses. many of whom saw the crash from Mountain Park amusement park at the base of the mountain, presented varied stories.
 Exploded In Flames
 One spectator said he thought he heard the plane circling the area for more than an hour before 1t streaked into the mountain and ex- ploded in flames. Other spectators said the plane flew over the city

FREIGHT RATE. ON SALMON IS BRIEF TARGET
Rivers and SeoII Fire Final Shots in VISA Alaska
 Shipping Inquiry

WASHINGTON, July 10.-Alaska today informed the Maritime Con- mission that freight rates on can ned salmon should be increased, but Alaskan Steamships ought to be refused a general rate increase.
 David E. Scoll, counsel for the Alaska Development Board, and Ralph Rivers, Attorney General of the Territory, filed a brief follow ing recent hearings here on pro posals of the War Shipping Admin istration to increase rates to Alaska.
 The steamship lines involved pre- scented testimony that rate in- crease of about 68 percent would be needed to give them profit.
 They said they did not want the VISA to return their steamers until the rate question was settled. If they were returned before that, they said, they would not operate the lines at present rates. Scoll and Rivers say, in their brief, that the canned salmon rate should be capitalized with rates on other freight and said the south bound rate on salmon was too low.
 Salmon Can Bear Cost
 "The record proves that canned salmon can and should bear some of the extra cost of serving cannery ports, which is higher than the cost of serving the principal can nery ports.r the brief says. There is no question of ability to pay more"
 The brief contends that if extra revenue has to be raised at this time it should be raised on salmon rather than on a general rate in- crease.
 Scoll and Rivers argue the Com mission should define the nature of Alaska's shipping need, which will enable Congress and the Alaska legislature to approve remedial measures.
 They contend that the vessels now operated on the Alaska run should be replaced, saying 10 vessels op- erated by three lines average from 19 to 76 years old and new vessels would permit more economical op- eration.
 They further contend. that not withstanding the claim of the car- riers that they cannot and will not resume operation of the vessels un- der existing rates, their balance sheets showed a capital surplus at the end of 1945.
 Legislation Required The concensus of the parties Gin the case) is that special legislation is required to provide Alaska with adequate water transportation at reasonable rates and charges, in order to secure a permanent solution of this problem" the brief con- tinues. However, before any such program for a permanent solution of Alaskan shipping needs can be really effective. more careful analysis of the rates applicable to various commodities and classes of traffic must be made than was made in this proceeding. Other wise government assistance will merely perpetuate the inequalities and inequities of the existing tariff structure"
 While the. Maritime Commission is considering it's decision, Rep. Jackson, (D-Wash) announced subcommittee of the House Mari time Commission would begin hear ings in Seattle and Alaska on the Alaskan steamship problem as soon as Congress adjourns.

U. 5..50v|ET CLASH ANEW
 OVER REICH
Byrnes Charges Russian Violation of Palt in
 Treaty SquabbIe

PARIS, July 10. = The United States is willing to extend its pro- posed disarmament treaty for Ger many from 25 to 40 years in meet ing Russian assertions that the ori- ,inal plan is inadequate, it was of- ,icially disclo>ed today.
 The disclosure came as U. S Secretary of State James F. Byrnes and Soviet Foreign Commissar V M. Molotov aired their dispute over the American proposal by publish ing the texts of their statements to the four-pCwer Foreign Minis ters Council yesterday
 The ministers ordered their de- puties to have ready by Saturday the final drafts of peace treaties with Italy, Hungary, Rumania, Bull garia and Finland. Diplomatic sources said this means the Council might approve the treaties Satur- day afternoon and adjourn either at that time or on Sunday.
 Sharp Clash
 The Council, which yesterday heard another sharp clash between Secretary of State James F. Byrnes and Foreign Minister V. M. Molo- tov-this time on the German question-was called into session this afternoon to resume discus sions on the Reich.
 British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin was expected to urge, with United States support, that some sort of liberalization be provided for Germany, which now is divided into four occupation zones. France was believed ready to back the other western powers in this pro- posal, but the attitude of Russia remained big question mark. /, The clash between Byrnes and Molotov occurred when the Ameri- can urged adoption of his proposed treaty to guarantee disarmament of Germany for 25 years.
 MOlOtOv's Views
 Molotov described the suggested pact as wholly inadequate" and asserted it did not insure against the rebirth of militarism in Ger many. ByrneS countered with an accusation that Russia had violated the Potsdam agreement by making excessive levies against German in- dustry.
 Byrnes asked that special depu- ties be named now to study the German problem and to report back to the ministers at their next meeting, presumably next autumn. No immediate action was taken however.

SAFETY IN Til AIR

The work of the Air Transport Command in flying service
men back to the United States since We day is remarkable
not only for the number of men transported, but for the high
degree of safety maintained.
Out of a group of 1O1, 108 men moved by army transport
planes under the so-caled green" project which began shortly
after May 8 and extended into November, there was not a
single fatality. Of some $4,000 others who were brought back
in combat planes a few casualties occurred, but the loss was
an infnitesimal fraction of the number of men carried.
The Army Transport command also transported 111,000
wounded OF sick servicemen in the Pacific area up to NOvem-
Der Is, and brought 10000 other Pacific veterans home in the
three months Immediately following VI day.
During the height of the task of returning men from
Europe, army planes took off on a transatlantic flight on an
average of one every six minutes.
Progress in air transportation is strikingly illustrated by
these achievements. The many hundreds Of flights made by
commercial air lines each week and the infrequency of mis-
haps is another Illustration of the high degree of safety enjoy
ed in air transport both on short hops and transoceanc flights.
1t was not many years ago that anyone who went up in
an arplane was looked upon as somewhat of a daredevil. But
with the steady improvement of machines and scientific data
on weather conditions and other factors bearing on air travel
the airpane has become increasingly dependable until today
it equals, and perhaps surpasses, any other type of carrier in
safety.

Television Set Outlook
Good, Saws RCA Official

CAMDEN, N. J. - Between 300,-
600 and 400, 900 television receiving
sets will be sold in six cities next
year and this figure will be doubled
in 1947, it was predicted recently by
Frank M. Folsom, executive vice
president of the Radio Corporation
of America. The six cities are Phila-
delphia, New York, Chicago, Los
Angeles, Albany and Schenectady.
Asserting that television was just
about ready to go in a big way, now
that new transmitting equipment is
becoming available, Folsom said
the RCA-Victor division, of which he
is in charge, would 60 into produc-
ton next April. An average price
for receiving sets would be around
$500, he said, but some sets might
be as low as $3.50.
Folsom and four of his top eXecu-
tives went over the entire electron-
les field with a group of newspaper
reporters who are on the semifinal
lap of a nationwide reconversion
survey.
Production of new radio sets is so
far behind schedule because of short
ages in component parts that the
entire industry will do well to turn
out 400, 900 units by Christmas, Fol-
SON said. The war production board
has forecast $500, 900 sets by that
time.
Nothing new has been added to
radio receivers since before the
war, according to Joseph B. Elliott,
general manager of the RCA-Victor
home instrument division, but work
is well along on a set only 6 inches
long and a little more than half
that wide. A one-third reduction in
size also has been made in a COM
bined radio and victrola with an
automatic record changer.

MARCH OF DIMES

The bright little dimes are on the march to brighten the
lives and the hopes of youngsters and adults throughout the
nation who are seeking to be cured of infantie paralysis.
The March of Dimes campaign, which extends from Jan
uary Ia to 81, affords every American the opportunity to con-
tribute his bit in this cause.
The millions of coins that have rolled in during previous
drives show that the people are not unmindful of the needs of
others. This year the response will be equally spontaneous.
This undertaking is wholly unselfish and serves all per-
sons alike regardless of their race or creed.
Let us get behind the campaign. Let us, in the spirit Of
goodwill, help spread happiness and cheer to those in need
of help. Donate your dimes-or doHarS-today.

Hiking Protection

In tramping through the woods,
high boots offer good protection. If
it is too hot for high boots, wear
your socks over the lower part OF
your trousers, thereby protecting
the ankles. Make it a habit to wash
thoroughly after each tramp through
the woods, whether you think you've
rubbed against a poisonous plant or
not. Make a thick lather of yellow
kitchen soap and hot water, wash
five or six times. Then apply rubbing
alcohol, rinse with cold water and
dry. In drying be sure to use a soft
fabric.

Seek Arctic, Bases
To ThuUart attack
Government Taking Steps to
Defend Far North.

WASHINGTON.-The government
is taking steps to protect the nation
from air attack through its I'M
guarded Arctic approaches, it was
learned here.
Receiving major attention is q
proposed l%ong-range agreement with
Iceland providing for peacetime use
by the army air forces of American
built Meeks field, one of the worlds
largest and most strategically stu
ated bases.
This was revealed by reliable
sources coincident with warnings
from top American air force gen.
erals that the United States is vul-
nerable to attack through the Polar
regions. In the future, they said,
Polar projection maps must take
precedence in defense planning over
the old Mercator projection which
was designed for an era when trans
portation was confined to the sur
face.
Gen. Carl A. Spaatz, who COM
manded the strategic air forces in
Europe and later in the Pacific, told
the senate military affairs COM
mittee that "trans-Polar flying
leaves America wide-open at the
top" This followed 1t. Gen. James
H. Doolittle's admonition to the COM
mittee that "anyone who is think
ing of the defense of this country
or its vulnerability to attack has got
to start with a Polar projection"
General Spaatz also said that
there can be only one defense
against air attacks) - invincible
air supremacy in this hemisphere,
and along the air approaches there
Action is being taken to obtain
to hemisphere air bases nee
essary to this type of defense. Nego-
tiations are in progress with Brazil
for joint use of American-built
bases there, and with Ecuador for
use of bases on the Galapagos Is
lands which, situated in the Pacific
west of Ecuador, guard the APP
proaches to the Panama canal.
These also were built by the United
States.
