 ABLAH IN AIR;
 DOWN IN CRASH

READING, Pa, July 11.-Five crewmen were killed and sixth injured today as Transcontinental and Western Airlines Constellation training plane caught fire in the air and crashed into an alfalfa field a mile north of the Reading air port.
 A man identified at Community General Hospital as Capt. Norman A. Nilsenn of Norfolk, Mass, died a short time after he was admitted. Before he died he told hospital attendants six persons has been aboard the plane, on routine training flight from a base at Reading.
 Fire Prevention Inspector Charles Ohlinger, Reading, told Newsmen four charred bodies remained in the plane which burned for nearly 90 minutes after the crash about 22:40 D. m. (EDT). The Sixth occupant, as yet unidentified, was reported in a serious condition at Reading hos pital.
 M. c. Markle, an instructor of the Reading Aviation Service, at the airport, said he saw the plane ap- preaching as though trying to make an emergency landing on the north runway. It was afire at the time, he said, adding that is suddenly lost altitude and crashed into the field.

MRS. RE:DIN0 ON STAND AS spy CASE K ENDED

SEATTLE. July 11.-Mrs. Nicolai G. Redin, tense and apparently near tears, protested: No I'm not a secret agent or in espionage; I'm just a wife" as her cross ex- animation in the espionage-c -conspir- acy trial of her Russian Naval lieutenant husband ended today.
 Chief Asst. U. s. District Attor- ney Allan Pomeroy, directing the governments case against 30-year- old Nicolai c. Redin, continued You're interested in helping your husband aren't you?" and she re- piled she was.
 As the attractive brunette Rus sian woman left the stand after denying witnessing any incidents or transactions which the govern ment's chief witness, Herbert C.. Kennedy, testified of having with Redin, the foremost question was whether the Government would ac- cede to an urgent suggestion by Federal Judge Lloyd L. Black that whispering wire" records be dis closed.
 Victor E. Anderson, government attorney, told newsmen he still had no instructions from Wilmington in regard to the transcriptlons which the Federal Bureau of In- vsstigation may have obtained by wiring Kennedy's house.
 Kennedy, shipyard engineer, has testified that the FBI wired his house and that he sold naval secrets to Redin for S250.
 Gn Washington, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover said he had told Attorney General Tom c. Clark last Saturday that Anderson could use his own discretion as to what testimony should be given)

Army Air Chief Claims Navy Being Favored in AL
 IoWanle for Planes

NEW YORK, July 11-Lt. Gen. George E. Stratemeyer, chief of the Army's Air Force Command. as- serts that "figuratively speaking, the Army Air Forces right now couldn't punch its way out of a wet paper bag"
 If the Army Air Forces were called upon to do so at short mo- tice," he told the Aviation Writers Association yesterday, it would be difficult for it to put single com plete fighter group and a single B-29 group, as We knew them on V-J day. into full operating con- dition in an emergency"
 He declared that although the United States practically threw away it's infant air force" in 1919 through Ignorance" of it's potential might, the country today was in a far more precarious position"
 He ascribed what he called the appalling" state of the nations air defense both to the AAF's demobili- zation from V-J day strength of 2,253 coo men to 5000 on May l and to cut-backs in aircraft pro- duction. ~
 Stratemeyer asked if there was "one American in 50,000 who knows that in this, the first year of peace, the Navy is getting millions of dollars more than the air force to buy hundreds more planes than are being allowed the air force?"

 Twenty-Five thousand Jews re- gently repatriated from Russia are concentrated at Walbrzych, coal mining city southwest of Wroclaw and 12 miles from the Czechoslo- vakia border, awaiting a chance to leave the country.
 Others are coming through the mountain passes daily in caravans and trucks, with Palestine as their ultimate destination.
 A Jewish leader said hundreds ot Jews were leaving Walbrzych daily, either crossing the frontier on foot at any unguarded point or pay ing someone to help them cross by ether methods.
 All through the lower Silesia area, Jews from Russia are banding to- gether to protect themselves against any anti-Jewish outbreaks.

REPORT MADE UNkM EpICAn kC CTIvITIE 5

WASHINGTON, July 11.-A re- port from the House committee on American activities said today that Security officers at the Oak Ridge atomic bomb project think that the peace and security of the United States is definitely in dan ger"
 The report was given the House Rules Committee by Rep. J. Parnell Thomas tR-NY), a member of the committee on un-American activ- tiles
 Thomas also said President Tru- man had ordered the War Depart ment not to oppose a Senate-passed bill setting up a civilian commis- sion fer domestic control of atomic energy.
 Thomas said the preliminary re- port of the American activities invs stigator. Ernie Adamson, was submitted to Chairman Wood (D- Ga) on June 26 following a long investigation at Oak Ridge, Tenn, by Adamson and Wood.
 The report said scientific socie- ties with headquarters located "in- side the reservation at Oak Ridge are very active in support of in civilian control of the of atomic materials" and the activities of these socie- ties are devoted to the creation Of some form of world government"

BIKINi ATOMIC
 BOMB TEST WAS
 MOST SUCCESSFUL

WASHINGTON, July 11-A board of experts advised President Tru- man today that the Bikini atomic bomb test provided adequate data for the redesign of navy vessels to minimize damage to super structures and deck personnel from this type of bomb"
 "A vast amount Of data which will prove invaluable throughout scientific and engineering fields has been made available by this test, ,' the report aided.
 The evaluatiOn board. represent ing the joint chiefs of staff, was headed by Dr Karl T. Compton, noted physicist.
 President Truman made public the boards report at his news conference
 Test Justified
 There can be nc question, the beard told him, that the effort and expense involved in this test has been amply justified both by the information secured and by greatly narrowing the range of speculation and argument
 There has Geen no authoritative estimate as to the cost of the test. Some Congress members eriti- cal of the experiment declared the cost was $l0O,000,O00 or more but the army and navy disputed that. One difficulty in figuring the cost, military men said, is what value to place on obsolete warships.
 Continue Research
 The board said that only by fur lher large-scale research and de- velcpment "can the United States retain it's present position of sci entific leadership" This must be continued, it added in the inter- eSts of national safety"
 The board emphasized that bomb damaged moro ships than have ever before been damaged by a single explosion"
 Yet because of the nature of the first test-the bomb was exploded in the ah-little information has been obtained as to what an atom ic bomb can do to a ships hull the board said, adding: Damage to the ships hulls vii be studied specifically in the sec end test when a bomb will be eX- ploded under water"

NEW SUGGESTION MADE REGARDING
 PRESENT STRIKE
Drastic Stand Is Urged at Meeting Of Chamber of
 Commerce Today

In the tace of the present ship rmg embargo and resumption of the lonc> >horenan strike tomorrow morning. Juneau Chamber of Con- merce this roon heard a bomb shell suggestion from one of it's members that Juneau residents take a drastic but practical stand by refusing food to the men who are responsible for the situation '
 Considerable amount Of food, Lsdly needed by Juneau residents, has recently been tossed in the channel because of strike-bound spcilage. Now the city is informed that no more food will be received here by boat until the Longshore- men approve said the Chamber member.
 This is a ridiculous situation. We have tried through an ava lauche of telegrams, telephone calls, and peaceful negotiations to settle the matter and we have failed. l suggest we, the merchants of Ju- neau. combine forces to turn the tables on the less than 20 men who say we can't eat because they don't want to work
 He suggested that Juneau gro- ccrymen. meat market owners, and other merchants refuse to sell to inc men whc are responsible for a possible food crisis in the city.
 Suggestion Applauded
 The suggestion was soundly ap- rlauded by members of the Cham Der. but it was not presented for formal action General assumption was that such a move would come 1rom a general town meeting and not the Chamber Of Commerce. Inc idea carried with it a remi- niscence o1 the day when citizens law" was the most powerful gov ernment agent in Alaska.
 Recently returned from vaca- ton trip up the Yukon River, Chamber President Charles w. Garter Was called upon to give a resume Of his trip.
 Colorfully jumbling personality sketches 9f many of his fellow passengers with scenes along the Yukcn, President Carter brought the house down" with a number of well-timed Garter congregations.
 Juneau Esteemed
 From tourists along the river he learned that Juneau was highly esteemed by visitors who had stopped over in this city. The only dissenting comment heard against Juneau, he said, was that there was too much dust on the highway
 T told them I'd fix that as soon as I got back to Juneau the speaker said And surely anybody can tell the situation has inn proved since my return.
 A letter was read from Delegate E. L. Bartlett stating that work on the Gastineau Channel project could not be expected to begin until after July 6, l948, although he had personally urged that the project be started before that date. The Chamber voted to send delegate to the annual convention of the Associated Board of Trade of Central British Columbia to be held August and in Terrace, B. C., expenses paid.
 Guests at today's meeting were: Jack Conway, Sitka; Joseph C. An chcson, Seattle; J. J. Kenny, Van couver. r. C.; Barnard Estabrook, Juneau; c. M Archbold. Ketchi- kan James Her, Portland, Ore.

0LDTIMER MISSING
 IN CORONA AREA

CORDOVA, Alaska, July ll-Ap- parently Anthony J. Tony Me Gettigan has reached the end Of the trail.
 A Ccrdova Air Service pilot re- turning yesterday after delivering supplies to a settlement ill the iso- lated Chisana Creek country said articles of clothing belonging to the 87-year- -old veteran of the '98 gold rush had been found.

Rails, specialties, most aircrafts

a recovery in today's stock mar
ket after early declines.
Gains ranged from fractions to
around 2 points but a good num-
Der of minus signs persisted for

Grain
CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Jan. 1e-(P-Brokers
added another 4 cents to the price
OF May rye in today's futures
trading as they bid the grain
steadily upward despite hurries of
pro1lt taking and other liquidation.
"A reported reassertion by Sena-
tor Elmer Thomas D-Oka) that
higher wages and higher prices are
the only way to cope with the
public debt stirred initiation talk
anew while professional interests
bid off most of the offerings in
competition with an increased
volume of stop loss buying.
Although there was uncertainty
over whether exporters will be per-
mitted to ship recent stable pur-
chases Of rye, there was a report
that the same interests were back
in the market for other large round
lots. It was understood, however,
the grain was not available in the
quantities sought and that small
cash lots were being offered at
around So bushel.
Wheat closed unchanged to 3-8
cent higher than yesterdays final
quotations, May $1.80 IL; corn I'M
changed at $1.18 IL ceilings; oats
1-8 SO up, May II ga SO; rye
unchanged to 4 1-8 up, May $1.91

The rye advance carried the grain
to 10 cents a bushel over the close

nounced the grain may be sold after
