Congress Awaits
 Findings In Greece
tBy Jack Bell

WASHINGTON, (P)-Fresh Re publican proposals arose today that President Truman CD official ly report his Greek Turkey aid program to the United Nations and @ designate Herbert Hoover to di rect relief activities in the two countries.
 AS Congress awaited l legiSla- tive blueprint on the Pre5iGent'S program to spend $400,0OO,OOO in bolstering the Mediterranean na- tions against threats of Commun- ism, Senator H. Alexander Smith R.-N. J0 voiced concern at any "by passing" of the U. N. He said he thinks frank statement" of American intentions should be made directly to the international organization.
 At the same time, Senator Moore R.-Okla0 suggested that Hooevr who recently completed a Euro pean food survey, be named to di- rect relief and rehabilitation ex- penditures which will go along with the limited military aid Mir. Truman promised the two coun- tries.
 Most members of Congress, meanwhile, awaited with mount ing interest the immient return of Paul Porter from his economic mission to Greece and of Ambas- sadors Lincoln Mac Veagh and Ed win C. Wilson from Athens and Ankara, respectively.

House Sure Took Hawaii Statehood

WASHINGTON, (P)-ApprovaI of statehood for Hawaii by the House public lands committee ap- peared assured today.
 Spokesmen for Hawaii obvious ly were encouraged following ten tative committee approval of a compromise in the dispute over State vs. Federal ownership of Ha- waii's public lands.
 Committee chairman Welch R.- CalifO, directed the printing of a new bill embodying modified version of an interior department amendment to retain federal title to the public lands.
 The compromise, proposed by Delegate Harrington R.-HawaiD, and agreed to by the interior de- partment, would permit Hawaii to select 180,000 acres for itself, with out restriction as to location or federal approval.
 The remainder of the 1,600, ,000 acres of public land would belong to the fedora lgovernment, but the United States would be required to protect Hawaii's watersheds by continuing to use 698,O00 acres for forest reserves only.
 Hawaii spokesman said that since only about 10000 acres of Hawaiian public lands are produc- tive, the Territory would be able to select all the revenue-producing lands for itself if it becomes the 18th state under the proposal.

Avalanche Covers Crashed Plane

PARIS, (P-Search parties re- ported today that an avalanche oi snow had covered the wreckage oi an Air France liner, which crashed into a cliff and exploded yesterday on the treacherous slope of Mount Moucherolle in the French Alps There was no trace of the l8 pas Sengers, four of whom were Amer jeans, or of the five crewmen.
 Ground parties messaged to the company's Lyon office that fear of starting a new snow slide on the 4,000-foot mountain kept them from digging to examine the wreckage, which they reached af- ter wading through two feet of newly fallen snow.
 The plane, a two-engine pcs, left Nice yesterday for Paris. It crashed into the mountain on its southern slope and then slid back down into a valley, the company spokesman said. The site of the wreck is in the neighborhood of Chateau Bernard, 25 miles south of Grenoble.
