After Smoke Fills Cabin
By the Associoted Press

WILDWOOD. N. j., Mar. L.
Two American Airlines DC-6
planes made emergency landings
yesterday when their cabins filled
with smoke while flying over New
Jersey.
One plane carrying 20 passen-
gers from Washington to New
York landed at Wildwood Airport.
The other, bound from Mexico
City to New York with 48 passen-
gers and a crew of five, landed
a few hours earlier at Philadelphia
International Airport, about 10
miles away.
Capt. Edward D. Dawson, pilot
of the Washington-NeW York
plane, said electrical trouble
caused smoke to drift into the
cabin. He said he was unable to
land at Newark or New York be-
cause of snow and poor visibility.
The pilot of the Mexico City,
New York plane. Capt. Sam r.
Ross of Sarasota, Fla, said an oil
leak in the ventilating system
caused smoke to seep through
the big plane. Similar adverse
weather conditions prevented
landing at New York.
The smoke had no i'll effect on
passengers and crew of the planes,
the pilots reported.

Scott Says Republican!
To Adopt Trumans
Pour II On Tactics

President Truman, "the goose
egg record of the no-can-do Con-
gress" and the Democratic Party
were criticized last night by Re-
publican National Chairman
Hugh Scott, jr, at a meeting OF
the District Young Republican
Club.
Mr.. Scott, addressing about Is
persons in the Raleigh Hotel, re-
ferred to the President as "a little
man" who spoke of special privi-
lege" during the campaign while
now princes of privilege on the
Potomac" are active. He criticized
Wall Street, Mr.. Scott said, and
now the Cabinet is full of mil
lionnaires, would-be millionaires
and hope-to-be millionaires."
The Congress, Mr.. Scott said,
has so far done nothing but raise
the Presidents salary. The DEM
ocratic Party, he added, has "pur-
chased" large parts of the elec-
torate.
The COP chairman then out
lined his own program for meet
ing the Democratic challenge
Basically, he said, it is this:
We're going to adopt Mr.. Tru-
mans tactics-we're going to pour
it on-We're going to give 'em
hell"
He said the Republicans must
find alternatives to Democratic
measures they dislike. For ex-
ample, he said. instead OF
the Administrations compulsory
health insurance bill it would
have a program involving an en-
larged public health service and
other measures.
In referring to Mr.. Truman's
now famous IS. o. B." statement,
Mr.. Scott said, there is nothing
positive about the Presidents pro-
gram but his alphabetical use of
obscene phrases"
