Six husky boys seized Eric Wildman
last night in the middle of his lee

own medicine.
Mr.. Wildman. q, calls himself
president of the National Society fol-

company that makes whipping
canes for schoolmasters.
He took 20 canes with him to
Horsley Hall, a self expression

and are never punished.
Mr.. Wildman, seated comfortably
had just remarked that "a most rea.

place that seems to have been pro.
vided by nature for the purpose"
While he talked, one of the stu

considered one who can meet nor

high medical or hospital expenses.
2. That most Of the nine hospitals
affected have claimed early pay

Two Killed, -Four Hurt
As BIS, Cargo Plane
Collide at Andrews.
CAS- Pilot Apparently.
Confused in Rain and
Fog, OfficioI Says

Two persons were killed and
four injured about midnight last
night, when a BIS light bomber
crashed into a CAS- cargo plane
at Andrews Air Force Base, field
authorities announced.
The Air Force withheld names of
the victims, pending notification Of
relatives. The injured, none believed
critically hurt, were taken to the
Boiling Air Force Base Hospital.
All were Air Force personnel, but
none was believed to be from the
Washington area, spokesman said.
According to first reports, the Cas-
had landed by ground-control ap-
proach and was taxing back up the
runway instead Of the taXiWay, when
the BPS. also landing blind,
crashed into the front of the plane.
The bomber, based at Boiling, had
gone to Andrews because of weather
conditions. Boiling is not equipped
with ground-control approach.
Smaller Plane Smashed.
The spokesman said the bomber
went right through" the smaller
plane. The dead and injured were
aboard the Cas-. The plane had
lust come in from Greenville, S. c.,
after refueling in flight from
Craig Air Force Base, Selma, Ala.
The BIS was arriving from Topeka,
Kans.
CreWmen of the B-25 were shaken
up but not injured. it was reported.
It was believed. the spokesman
said that the pilot of the Gas
thought he was on the taxiway, but
becau1a of poor visibility in the
rain and fog, turned and came
back up the runway by mistake.
The BPS was landing without using
its landing lights. This is CUSTOM
ary when a plane is being talked
in" by ground CONTROL it was said,
because lights cause glare on the
runway
Wings Torn Off.
Both wings of the Cas- were
torn off. The BPS, also badly dam
aged, stopped about 200 feet from
the other plane. The CAS- caught
fire, but the blaze was put out
quickly by field fire apparatus.
The crash was the second in less
than a week at the base. Last Sat-
urday a jet plane pilot was killed
as he apparently attempted to land.

quiry is being set up to investigate

5000 Parade Seats
To Be Available at 81
Each, HiIdreth Says
Most Of 40,0 900 Spaces
Must Sell for More to
Meet Increase in Costs

The 194e Inaugural Commit
tee fully expects to make
available "at least 5000 parade
seats at 50 each, General Chair
man Melvin D. Hildreth said
today.
He made the statement after an
nouncing that costs for putting on
the big show next January will be
even higher than the committee had
anticipated and therefore a larger
proportion of parade seats must fall
into the higher price brackets. Mr.
Hildreth said he hopes it will be
possible to keep the top price at the
$40 figure already announced.
The chairman pointed out thai
there will be about 10000 seats avail
able this time in contrast to abou
10000 at the last big inaugura
parade in 1941. The return from the
sale of seats represents something
over half the entire budget of the
Inauguration, he estimated.
Welcome Signs Planned.

On the budget problem Mr.
Hildreth said the Budget Committee
will meet Monday to work out cost
figures so the ticket prices can be
definitely set.
The committee, over Mr. Hildreth S
name, yesterday issued this state
ment:
Preliminary investigation shows
that the cost of constructing stands

they are simple in design, is fal
higher than in l941.

Voice in Reich
Coal and Steel
U. S., Britain Gront
Share in Management,
Rule in Merged Zone
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Nov. 25.-The United
States and Britain have decided
to give France a direct voice in
ALLEGATION and management con-
troll of coal and steel in their
section of occupied Germany,
the British Foreign Office re-
ported today.
A Foreign Office spokesman told
news conference that the United
States and Britain have agreed the
French government shall be invited
to become member of the German
coal control group and the steel
control groups
Up until now. that direct repre-
sentation has been held up pending
a proposed fusion of the French oc-
cupation zone in GERMANY with
those of the United States and
Britain.
Without celebrating. the spokes-
man said that it has now been de-
cided to take that action immedi-
ately He said the details of the
French representation have not been
worked out as yet. but that they
have been discussed in Paris.
No Efforts to Rush Talks.
The action marked a major step
toward giving the French a greater
voice in big power arrangements for
Western Europe integration. AL
though there have been no official
statements, diplomatic circles here
have reported that such action has
become essential if the French gov
ernment is to be stabilized.
The spokesman said the move
would have no direct effect on cur
rent talks here ON the future of the
Ruhr Valley industries, which lie in
the British zone.
France has protested British and
American plan to turn those indus
tries back to limited German man
agement. She is reported to be de-
manding the right to some control
of the Ruhr as her price for merging
her zone of Germany with the Brit
iSh and American zones,
