In Wilderness To Care
For Other Survivors
By GEORGE v. FRASER

GANDER, Mild, Sept. 21-U.D-
Eight survivors of the crash OF a
transatlantic Belgian airliner were
evacuated in a hazardous helicop-
ter operation and brought to a hos
pital here today, but 10 others
faced another miserable night In
the wooded wilderness.
Four of those flown here by
heliocopter and then by ply am
phibious planes from a clearing
near the crash scene were in a
serious condition. They were
Jeanne Rooki, 2~5-year-old Belgian
stewardess; Leona Tonchet, SO, of
Brussels; John King. 19-year-old
son of the Chinese ambassador to
Belgium; and Joseph Deschuy-
fleer, SO, Of Brussels.
The condition of the other four,
including two Americans, was de-
scribed as fair. The Americans
were Ruth Helen Henderson, At,
executive secretary of the Interna-
tional Division of the Girl Scouts
of America, and Rudy Revil, 30
year-old New York composer. The
other two Belgians evacuated were
Walter Devos, 48, of Client, and
Nine. Renee Jacquet, 43, of Cour-
trai, who previously had been list
ed a among the rs persons killed
in the crash.
The survivors were flown out in
a difficult operation that turned
into a furious ace against dark
ness. Coast Guard 1t. August
Kleisch, Brooklyn, N. Y, made
trip after trip from the tiny clear
ing in the spruce forest to a lake
six miles away to transfer the pa
tients to FYB planes which brought
them here.
On the final hop, as a murky
darkness descended over the bleak
Newfoundland forest, Kleisch flew
a survivor directly to this base
from the clearing rather than risk
the danger of a night takeoff from
the small lake in a ply.
Six of the survivors were brought
here in Coast Guard Phys, one in
Army ply, and the eight in the
heliocopter.
A priority system to bring out
those suffering the most was set
up by Capt. Samuel Martin of Dur

Most Rev. Antonio Santin, Roman
Catholic bishop of Trieste and

five Catholic priests fled during
the past 10 days.
The prelate said in an interview
that ''in the past 10 days the Yugo-
slav regime has been on the at
tack against the church," and he
expressed serious concern for the
Catholic clergy in the Yugoslav
zone.
"All five priests who flee were
told secretly that they had been
placed on the purge list and ad-
vised to seek refuge" Bishop San
tin said. II deprecate their action
in leaving their posts, however,
and intend to send them all back

government announced the arrest

dented Seven-Hour Par
liamentary Debate
By A. 1. GOLDBERG

PARIS, Sept. 2.-R-The Euro
pean peace conference hit a new
snag today as the Slav bloc, spear
headed by Russia, ontested Wig
orously a proposal to give special
protection in Romania to British
and other foreign oil companies.
After an unprecedented seven
hours of debate over a parlia-
mentary tangle, the Balkan eco
nomic commission decided to re-
fer to conference authorities the
question of whether a TT tie vote
on oil clauses proposed for the Ro-
manian treaty was a Legitimate
ballot"
Senator Vandenberg (R-Mich),
the U. S. delegate, said the stu
alton presented by the prolonged
debate was fantastic" The Brit
ish-proposed annex to the Roma
MAN treaty would require that coun-
try to restore or replace Allied
Nationals property losses in Oil
fields, annul discriminary legisla-
ton and admit key administrative
officials and technical experts into
the country to operate the wells.
In other conference actions to-
day the Italian Political commits
sion approved 10 to 6 the recent
Italo-Aust-ian agreement granting
much local autonomy to German
speaking residents of the South
Tyrol. Opposition came from the
Slav states, who in the same meet
ing criticized an American amend
ment to the italian treaty which
would require Italy's neighbors to
respect fundamental human rights
in territories obtained from Italy.
Hitting at statements by Senator
Connally D-Tex) in favor OF the
proposal, which would apply to
areas coded to Yugoslavia, Greece
and France, Yugoslav Delegate
Ales Bebler said:
