Begins 10 Receive
Bodies Of Victims
By Jerry o'Leoy. Jr.
stor stoH Correspondent

LEESBURG. Va, June 14.-This
small town tonight began receiving
the shattered bodies of so persons
who died In the crash of Pea
Capital Airliner near here last night.
The first three bodies arrived In
ambulances at Union Cemetery
the small. stone chapel of which Is
the improvised mortuary-at 10
O'Clock, DIST. According to rela-
tive who identified himself only as
a Mr.. Sears, Pittsburgh, Pa, the
first bodies TO arrive were those OF a
man, woman and child.
Electric lights which were hur-
riedly strung among the trees OF
the quiet cemetery earlier tonight
illuminated the scene as the bodies
of the crash victims were brought
in from the hills.
Chapel Is Small.
A white sheet was hung across
the entrance to the chapel to lend
privacy and dignity to the tempo
rary resting place Of the passengers
and crew members who lost their
lives in the Inflated DC-4. 1t was
hard to see how the chapel-no
larger than an ordinary-sized liv-
ing room-would accommodate all the
bodies.
Rescue workers at the scene of
the crash are carrying the bodies
for two miles in stretchers, return
ing workers reported, then driving
them In jeeps through trackless
woodland to the nearest passable
road. The bodies then are brought
by ambulance to the chapel, on the
outskirts of town.
Residents of Leesburg recalled
that the "a persons who were killed
in the crash of another airliner at
nearby Lovettsville, Va, on August
81, 1910, also were brought in sor-
rowful procession to this same little
cemetery for Identification and
shipment home for burial.
Citizens Stunned.
Leesburg's citizens seemed almost
stunned by this repetition Of the
unhappy tasks they had to perform
after the Lovettsville tragedy.
Newsmen were not permitted in
side the cemetery after the first
bodies arrived, nor were curious
spectators or relatives of the dead.
Federal Bureau of Investigation
agents and Leesburg police, stood
guard at the cemetery gate to keep
out those who were not present in
an official capacity.
The work of identifying the dead
was being carried out by FBI men
and by Loudoun County Coroner
William P. Frazer. AS fast as idt q.
tifications are positively made, thes
will be announced by James P.
Henry, vice president for the South
ern Region of Capital Airlines,
authorities said.
Bodies Placed on Floor.
There are no biers in the little
chapel. The floor has been cleared
and the bodies lie on the floor in
canvas bags on stretchers.
None of the relatives of victims
who sped to Leesburg today were
in evidence at the cemetery when
darkness fell, Most of these who
hastened here to identify their dead
came briefly to the cemetery, then,
unable to wait. hurried into the
mountainous, rain -drenched coun-
tryside in an effort to, get through
to the remote spot where the great
plane was destroyed.
Very few, If any. made 1t. They
were turned back by weariness, mud,
thick underbrush, steep hillsides
and the great mass of misinform-
alton which pervaded this entire
section as to just where the plane

Notes

On Saturday, March list, a
meeting was held by the Sloveni-
an Singing Club Jadran, at the
Slovene Workmen's Home, Wa
terloo Road. At this meeting the
April concert was discussed.
The club has for some time
been practicing the chorus songs
for the operetta Gypsy Rover. "
The name has been translated to
"Grof Cigan." Rehearsals have
been going very well, and we
hope to again be able to present
to the Slovene public a good per-
ormance of a delightful oper-
eta.
The story is composed of a
love triangle set in a background
of both a gypsy camp and a
beautiful castle. The music is
varied, that of colorful gypsy
music-peppy hunting songs
and lovely waltzes.
Singing is under the direction
of Vladimir Maleckar and the
acting is presided over by J. M.
Steblaj.
The operetta will be presented
on Sunday, April 20, 1947 at the
Slovene Workmen's Home on
Waterloo Road. We hope you
will all plan to attend "Grof
Cigan."

yet it appears that somebody is
attempting to use this relief

certain European countries to

AS regards Jugoslavia's al

sympathies, this is an irrelevant
issue in connection with her
right to get relief as an ally, and
yet, if we want to go into this
matter, it may be that the pop

lie of the Philippines.
Now, faced with the biggest

story through the eyes of Tom

lad of the Island of Negros.
Manuel grew up with five million
other young Filipinos, in famil-

~.
Following is the text Of letter
written by Attorney William J.
Kenn ck TO President of the United
States HarrySs. Truman.
- 1S6OO Underwood Ave,
Cleveland 19, Ohio.
March l.. 1947.
Hon. Harry S. Truman,
u. S. President,
Washington, D. c.
Iii re: Jugoslav Relief.
Dear President Truman:
l notice from the newspapers
that Jugoslavia is excluded from
UNRRA relief in the pending
bill before Congress which pro-
'vides some $50 million dollars of
relief money for six distressed
countries including Italy, Hun
gary, and Austria, and that your
Undersecretary of State, Will
liam L. Clayton apparently ap-
proves of such an exclusion of
Jugoslavia. Now, as a super
ficial reader of newspapers, 1
realize, Of course, that there
may be some good reasons for
such an attitude toward Jugo-
slavia of which I am not aware.
On the other hand there are
certain principles of justice and
fair dealing which apparently
favor extending aid to Jugo-
slavia,1 which will appear from
II1c lOAIOWIIlS.
First ard foremost it should
not be forgotten that Jugoslavia
was an ally in the Great War,
fighting alongside of the U. S.,
Britain, France, etc. and that
she is entitled to be treated as
such after the war was over. In
making her decision to cast her
lot with the allies, in my opinion,
she did so at a critical period,
and very substantially contri-
buted to allied victory. Also, as
a result of her decision, she suf-
fered tremendous casualties,
the bombing of Belgrade, etc.
for the allied cause. And yet
Immediately after the war was
over, Italy, and some other Axis
powers got better treatment, as
regards the Trieste issue, etc.
than did Jugoslavia. On what
basis is it justifiable to give
more consideration to enemy
countries, than to our Allies?
Today we pursue the same un-
fair treatment of Jugoslavia,
by giving Italy, Hungary, and
Austria, which were enemy
countries UNRRA relief, and
excluding Jugoslavia.
Also, not to extend relief to
Jugoslavia serves to defeat the
very purpose of UNRRA. The
alleged purpose of UNRRA is
humanitarian, to prevent star
vation and save lives, and is not
