|B-N Wreck in Alaska
Found With 10 Dead
by the Associated Press

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Dec. "a
Ten men, who would have flown t.
the United States for Christmas
were found dead yesterday-yictim
of the first crash involving the All
Forces new B-50 bomber.
The four-engine craft, radically
improved version of the B-29 Super
Fort which carried atomic bombs te
Japan, had been missing since Wed.
nesday night on a flight from the
Ellison Air Force Base.
The burned wreckage of the plane
was located by another Air Force
plane yesterday in timbered area
10 miles south OF the base.
The Cotton ship was one of five
B-50s from the Davis-Monthan Air
Force Base at Tucson, Ariz., which
had flown north for rigid testing
under arctic conditions.
All five were to have flown to the
home base in Arizona today so the
crews could spend Christmas there
Ground parties were scheduled tc
reach the crashed plane some time
today. Helicopters flew to the scene
and confirmed that all aboard the
ship had died.
The B-50 varies little in design
from the B29s which f1attened Japa-
nese industry, but can carry a
heavier load of bombs faster than
the older model.
The Air Force ordered a sub
stantial number" of the craft two
months ago from Boeing Airplane
Co. and announced its plans to make
the B-50 the backbone Of its heavy
bombardment feet.

Pvt. Edward A. Raymond of No.
precinct was suspended yesterday by
Capt. John Fondahl, commanding
officer of the precinct, following an
investigation which grew out OF the
officers change OF mind" before the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
Wednesday.
Meanwhile, a report on the case
prepared by Capt. Fondahl was to
reach Police Chief Robert j. Bar
rett today. Maj. Barrett, in order
ing the investigation, said he had
never heard of such thing before. y
"It seems very funny to me-" Maj
Barrett said, that a policeman
would change his testimony He
embarrassed the people as well as
the whole police department" ;"
Pvt. Raymond arrested Clifford L.
Howard, %, Of 40 West Montgomery
avenue, Rockville, on November 13
at Churchill's Grill and Bar, 3709
Macomb street NV. He charged
him with being drunk and disor-
derly and also with assault. 1t was
brought out at the hearing that Mr..
Howard forfeited $40 on the three
charges.
Charges that the grill had sold
liquor to an intoxicated person, had
permitted him to stay on the prem
ises and had permitted him to be-
come disorderly were dropped when
the officer testified he would mot
say he (Mr. Howard) was drunk"

ment agencies now advancing agri-
cultural credit is expected to bring
an additional saving of S36, ,150, 900.
1t was pointed out that in 20
years the department has expanded
from $4,000 employees to more than
$4,000 and expenditures have in
creased from s25,800.00O to 1894
000, 600.
The first recommendation is that
the administrative setup be revised
with the addition of two assistant
secretaries. The three assistant
secretaries would be assigned duties
as follows:
Administrative services, including
budget and personnel officers and
other management services. Re-
search, with the extension service
under a director Agricultural re-
sources conservation and commodity
adjustment services, both under
directors reporting to the assistant
secretary.
Regulatory and agricultural credit
services would be under directors
but not reporting to an assistant
secretary.
The other IL recommendations
are as follows:
/. A thorough overhaul of the de-
partment at State, county and
farmer levels with only one commit
tee to be set up in each county
instead of the present multitude OF

Canada Extends De Focto
RECOGNITION to IsroeI

OTTAWA, Dec. "a tP.-Canada
recognized the state of Israel and
Its provisional government To-Day
The recognition was de facto-
the same previously given by the
United States and the Union of
South Africa. This means that q
new government is recognized as
existing in fact.
Canada's action could be a fore
runner to some similar move by
Great Britain, with which Canada
has close ties. Great Britain so far
has refused to give Israel any sort
of recognition.
L. B. Pearson, the Canadian Min
lister Of External Affairs (Secre-
tary of State, said Canada feels
Israel has shown she complies with
the essential conditions of state
hood. These conditions he defined
as external independence and ef-
fective internal government within
reasonably well-defined territory"

|Bribe Inquiry Wines,
Resigns as Governor
OF Bank Of England
BY the Asseejated Press

LONDON, Dec. 24.-The Treasury
announced today that George Glib
son, recent witness at an investiga-
ton Of graft rumors in the Labor
government, has resigned as gov
ernor Of the Bank of England.
Mr.. Gibson told a special tribunal
that he went around with Sidney
Stanley, Polish-born promoter, and
introduced him to other government
officials. but denied that his actions
involved any wrongdoing.
The resignation of<the 63-year -old
Gibson, a former head of the power
full Trades Union Congress, is the
second by members Of Prime Min
lister Attlee's government who
figured in the inquiry.
Report Due February l.
John w. Belcher, who acknwl-
edged that he was friendly with
Stanley, but denied taking any
graft, quit as parliamentary secre-
tary to the Board of Trade after
the tribunal had heard his story.
The three-man tribunal completed
26 days of hearings Tuesday. 1t Is
expected to report its findings to the
Home Secretary about February i.
Parliament set up the tribunal at
the request of Mr.. Attlee. who said
there had been talk of payments to
government officials for favors in
Yolving import licenses and the
affairs of q football gambling pool.
Stanley Called Contact Man.
Stanley was pictured by witnesses
as a contact man between various
business enterprises and government
administrators.
During the hearings it developed
that a 1888 deportation order against
him had never been enforced. His
lawyer has now asked the Home
Secretary to cancel it.
At his home in Manchester, Mr..
Gibson said he had no immediate
comment on his resignation.
He was appointed one of the "a
directors of the bank after it was
nationalized by the Labor Govern
ment in 1946. He also has been
chairman of the Northwest Elec-
tricity Board. a regional authority
in the nationalized power system
since 1947.

county advisory committees. A
dairy county in Maryland was cited
as having SO employees in the field
services working with fewer than
3,400 farmers. Only one State
council in each State and one
county council in each county are
recommended.
2. Any new Federal agricultural
research stations should be eStab-
lished only where existing Federal
State facilities cannot be developed
Conservation Payments.
3. Conservation payments to a
farmer should be restricted to those
which will bring about the adop-
ton of competent and balanced
conservation programs on the farm
and they should not be used as in
come supplements in disguise. When
the conservation plan on any farm
is completed the payments to the
owner should stop.
4. Adjustment programs with re-
spect to commodities and commodity
groups should be operated on a
standby rather than a continued
basis, becoming ready to operate
in the event of an imLalance in
either domestic or foreign demand
for specific agricultural products
This should apply to surpluses as
well as to shortages.
S. Inspection costs for the benefit
of the public should be paid by the
Government, producers and process
sors should pay for inspections and
grading of benefit to them.
6. The whole basis of budgeting
and accounting should be revised to
show the annual cost of the various
activities on a functional basis.
7. The 80 per cent of certain GUS
toms receipts now going to the de-
partment for various purposes should
be paid into the Treasury and direct
annual appropriations be made
instead.
8. The maze of agricultural credit
agencies should be consolidated
Federal intermediate Credit Banks
Banks for Co-operatives and Pro-
duction Credit Corps, all dealing
in short-term credit, should be
brought together. The work of the
Farm Mortgage Corp. and the
Farmers Home Administration
should be performed through the
Federal Land Bank system under
the supervision of the Agricultural
Credit Service.
8. The department should be re-
quired to report to the President
and Congress all irrigation and
reclamation projects to determine
their timeliness before any expend-
iture Is made.
Food and Rrug Regulation.
10. In protecting the public from
impure food and drugs, regulatory
functions relating to food products
should be transferred to the Agri-
culture Department and those re-
lating to other products be placed
under reorganized drug service

Service.
II. Land activities in the Inte.
roir Department, chiefly the public
domain Except mineral questions.
and the oregon and California re.
vested lands, should be transferred
to the Agriculture Department anc
the water development activitie.
Except the local farmer water sup.
ply should be transferred to q new
conservation department.
IL. On completion of the recon.
mended reorganization a compre-
hensive management survey should
be instituted to determine further
savings and the elimination of du-
plicationS in service that remain.
In outlining the present deficien-
cies of the department 1t was stated
that unnecessary confusion is caused
now by 20 different Offices reporting
directly to the Secretary. There Ii
insufficient integration and the de-
partment is a loose confederation OF
Independent bureaus" the task force
said.
Extension Service Bypassed.
There are extensive and dupli-
eating agricultural activities in other
parts of the Government, according
to the task force report. It added
that the Cooperative Extension
Service established by the Federal
Government and the States for edu-
cational purposes Is being increas-
ingly bypassed by several agencies
Of the Agriculture Department.
In other criticisms the report said
There Is much duplication and
overlapping in the many field organ
izations that have grown up.
Local advisory committees in the
counties tend to become adminis-
traitors instead Of advisers.
Inspection Of agricultural prod
ucts is scattered through many
agencies, resulting in confusion.
The present system of budgeting
treatment of intradepartmental
funds and earmarking of recurring
funds obscure bureau expenditures
and promote waste.
Services and policies of the sew
eral farm credit agencies overlap
and their organization Is contrary
to sound banking principles.
