IL BURN TO DEATH
IN AIR LINE CRASH

Cheshire, Conn. - Seventeen
persons, including a baby flying
for a reunion with it's serviceman
father, persisted Friday in a
wrecked Miami to-Boston Eastern
Airlines plane which burst into
heavy brush land.

serviceman apparently just re,
turned from overseas, was the last
to be removed from the crumpled
remains of the plane which figur-
ed in Connecticut's worst air dis
aster. Mrs. Sturman was among
the victims.
So furious were the flames that
it was hours before the air liner
which served as pyre for the
Boston-bound travellers cooled
sufficiently to allow rescuers to
remove the bodies. Until that
sad task had been otap1eted Off
ficials had been in doubt about
the exact number of dead.

 The workers are seeking wage increases of 167a cents an hour, ex- cept for messengers, who would receive a 10-cent hourly raise.
 Payne said the strike notice would be based on company refusal to accept the recommendations of a fact-finding board, and "indigna- tion of employees against whole sale contract violations and bog ging down of negotiations"

All Eastern Con- necticut has direct interest in this project.

 The Shoe String 2Oth District is paying court to Groton and it wouldn't surprise this writer if Groton made a move before the legislature to cecede from New London and join the everlasting stepcnildren of Eastern Connecti- cut. It would give a strong Demmie strength to the 20th District.

Two other candidates were pre- sented to the New London caucus, Rep. Perry Schaffner, local furni- ture merchant, and Leon St. Ger maine, local contractor and build CT. Both of these gentlemen de- clined the honor and then the name of Mrs. Satti was brought into the convention.
 The retiring New London Town Committee Chairman, Charles Sil- va discussed this surprising turn of events with the Groton's Row. land Bishop, to whom Silva's dele gates to the convention had been pledged, with a quorum that would have assured the unit rule to Row. land Bishop.
 MT. Bishop advised MT. Silva that with the name of Mrs. Satti in the picture and her favorable record in the State legislature, that he would not ask to have his name presented and would release the New London delegates to grant the unit rule of 15 votes to his oppon- ent.
 This then was the picture as the convention was formally opened by the new central committeeman, Buck Coleman, who had as his con- vention's permanent secretary, Mrs. Elinor Allen Rosister, Central Committewoman.
 After the nomination of Mrs. Satti was made and accepted by the chair, Groton's Town Chairman Bill Hanley rose to nominate Row. land Bishop His nomination was seconded by an alternate delegate. A. s. Waldon, president of the Groton Democratic Club.
 Rowland Bishop rose to decline the nomination with thanks and commended the legislative record of Dorothy Satti, and her unfailing interest in the harbor development of Groton and New London, pledg- ing his backing of her candidacy as he felt she was the "best man" in New London for the job.
 This made Mrs. Satti's nomina- tion unanimous and the convention closed on warm and harmonious O0to
