Ten RegardedDead In Plane Crash Near Honolulu

f1oNoLOLO, lH1-1n ne uSdlI Ol Ambassador George C. Atcheson, Jr., along with nine other persons in a plane crash at sea just west of Honolulu Saturday midnight was regarded as a virtual certain ty today by military authorities, but air and surface search con- tinued.
 Atcheson, chief U. s. political adviser in the Japanese occupa- ton and chairman of the four power council for Japan, was one of four still missing.
 Five bodies were recovered yes terday, a sixth was seen to sink and three injured army men were rescued.
 The Hawaiian Sea Frontier, di- recting the search, reported there still was no trace of the missing men in the rough sea, and their chance of surviving 36 hours were so slender that almost no hope re- mained.
 Three ranking officers from General MacArthur's strategic and operations staff also were among ten passengers and creWmen lost when the B-17, inbound from Tokyo, crashed into sharkinfest- ed waters after running out ot gasoline only 65 miles west ot Pearl Harbor.
 Diplomatic sources in Washing ton said that despite Atcheson's vast knowledge of Japanese prob lems his apparent death probably would not delay arrangements for drawing up the peace treaty with Japan. Preparations for writing a preliminary draft already are well advanced, they said)
 Three men of the 13 aboard were rescued yesterday from the choppy sea and five bodies were recover ed.
 Those rescued were Capt. T. l.. Rider of Ponca City, Okla, who suffered a broken arm, Col. Har- vey Huglin of Fairfield, Iowa, and a Sergeant Holland of Colmesneil Tex-prObably Lee Chapman Hol- land. 2O-Who suffered head in- jurieS.
 Huglin, who related in a radio interview that he kicked sharks away during his long night in the water, reported Atcheson said nothing as the big plane plunged toward the sea and destruction He only smiled very quietly"
 The five bodies hauled up from the sea included those of naval Capt. Randolph B. Boyer of Audu- bon, Minn., or Portsmouth, Va, and Col. Randolph Larr, Water town, N. Y. Identities of the others were not announced.
 CThe Army news paper Stars and Stripes in Tokyo said Allied head quarters sources had confirmed that the other victims included Col Carl A. Russell of Richmond Heights, Mo, and Capt. K. R. Still, who the paper identified as the pi- lot. An unofficial source. said army Capt. Cecil Sigmon-no address given-was member of the crew)

Tennis Playerof Year At Casa Marina, Pro Saws


The best tennis player seen on
the Casa Marina courts this year,
according to Jay Cohn, busy pro
at the popular hotel, was none
other than Clark Clifford, legal
advisor to President Truman.
Clifford didn't want any pub
licity but the way he was steam
ing the ball over the net, Cohn
says. was a distinct credit to the
White House. In fact, if Cliff
ford's speech-writing for the
President is of the same caliber
as his tennis, the Democrats have
nothing to worry about.
A tall, road-shouldered blond
young man who once played on
his college tennis team, Clifford
visited Casa Marina during Presi-
dent Truman's visit to Key West
early last month. He was accom-
panied by a Commander Gay who
also was scorching hitter. Cohn
teamed up with Sandy Kay, one
of the better hotel players, and
soon found himself on the short
end of the score.
Clifford's crisp, powerful
strokes and Gays cannonball
service attracted a good, crowd.
Even the tennis professionals
sharp drives, accurate drop shots
and twisting service were not
enough to stem the tide and the
White House aide and Gay won,
6-3, go.

Protest Unit Is Formed
To Fight Silver Spring
Rezoning Requests

A committee of IS Silver Spring
property owners has formed an or
ganization to oppose all requests fol
rezoning of residential property In
the community, Howard M. Kline
$500 Mintwood street, Silver Spring
announced yesterday.
Mr.. Kline said committee men,
bers will appear at rezoning hearings
before Montgomery County Commits
sioners to protest against converting
residential property to either apart
ment or business use.
The committee, he declared, in
tends to act as a "vigilante body
until a master coming plan, outlining
which property zones are CONNER
cial and which apartment and which
residential is put into effect by the
commissioners.
In addition, the committee wants
the zoning ordinance amended SO
no exception to the master plan can
be made.
AT It's f1rSt meeting last week the
committee elected Ralph D. Boyd
as chairman and c. M. Derryberry
as secretary treasurer. <<.r
A mass indignation meeting, to
which area residents and county
officials will be invited, is planned
next week, Mr.. Kline said. The ex-
act date has not been selected.
Numerous property owners in
Montgomery County are applying
for special permits to rezone proper
ty from residential to commercial,
Mr.. Kline declared. Most of them
he said, own residential property on
the edge of commercial districts.
Home owners are alarmed" he
said, "at the rapid encroachment
of business establishments and
apartment houses on residential ter
ritory.'
A sore spot with the committee
Mr.. Kline asserted, is the rule which
permits property owners to reapply
every 80 days in the event their ap-
plication for a zoning change Is
turned down. Several applications
for rehearings under this rule have
been made recently.
