SAYS BRAKES
 FAILED; PLANE CRASH OCCURS
luke May Gives Expert Testimony in Accident dt
 Bow Lake Airport

SEATTLE, Oct. 4.-ARE-A Seattle private investigator told Civi Aeronautics Board hearing Satur- day that he believed brake failure was responsible for the Alaska Air lines plane crash at Bow Lake air port last November 30, which took nine lives.
 The witness, as the Board contin- ued it's 10-month inquiry into the accident, was Luke s. May, of Se- attle. He said he was first retained by the pilot of the plane and then continued the investigation on his own after the pilot was no longer able to pay for services. May said the shuttle valves in the trakes had metal fragments and gritty substances in them which would have impaired their opera ton. He said also that no track of the nose wheel was found at the site, indicating the brakes had not worked.
 However, Harold K. Phillips, maintenance supervisor for the CAB here, said tests made after the ac- cident disclosed no malfunctioning of the brakes.
 The plane rolled off the edge of the Bow Lake airport onto the adjoining highway and burst into flames after colliding with a car

Claims Organization Has No Authority 10 Consid-

PARIS, Oct. 4.--tR-Russia told the United Nations Security Council today it has no right to consider Western charges that the Soviet blockade of Berlin is a menace to World Peace.
 Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Y. vishinsky led off his fight to keep the Berlin issue out of the Councils hands. He declared the Western demand for U. N. consid- eration of the dispute was devoid of any ground, as it does not fall within the scope of the Security Council"
 The issue, he said, should be sent to the Big Four Council of foreign ministers, as formal note from Moscow proposed earlier today.
 vishinsky declared the U N charter forb!ds the Council to dis cuss anything concerning Germany until the four occupying powers have written peace treaty for the DtdttH cOuiltIy
 Taking the argument to the Foreign Ministers Council he said. cifefs tfie oiiig legal way to settle the problems of Germany, includ- ing Berlin which has been under a Soviet land blockacs since last June B.
 He said the Berlin problem is closely linked to the whole German problem. He charged that the cur rency reform in Western Germany last June was an "act of aggression against the Russian occupation au- thorities and had forced the Rus sians to take defensive measures. :"
 U. s. Delegate Warren R. Austin gavellee the meeting to order as Chairman for October.
 The We stern Powers Britain, France and the United States pressed the charges before the coun- cil in spite of last-minuta Soviet effort to transfer the dispute to tfe Big Four Council of Foreign Min- isters.
