& More Flyers Sought
In Wreckage in Which
Hornsby's Son Died
Nv the Associated Press

SAVANNAH, Ca, Dec. IA
swamp buggy crew today drew the
task of searching the wreckage OF
a B-5O Air Force bomber for the
bodies of six missing airmen.
Five bodies already have been
removed from the debris deep in a
marsh bordering the Savannah
River.
The II men met their deaths
when the huge, four engine
bomber, an improved version of
the B-29, crashed Thursday night,
5 minutes after taking off from
Chatham Field near here.
Norfolk Captain Also Killed.
Among those killed were 1t.
Rogers Hornsby. jr., 29-year-old
son of baseball's famed Rogers
Hornsby and veteran of so bomb
ing missions during World War II.
1t. Hornsby was a native of Den
ison, Tex.
Another hero to die in the fam
ing craft was Capt. Andrew G.
Walker of Norfolk, Va. who took
part in 81 bomber tasks over
Europe.
Twice Capt. Andrews brought
his riddled plane back home, once
after two engines had been
knocked out. He held the Dis
tinguished Flying Cross with three
Oak Leaf clusters.
Recovery Of Bodies Doubted.
The swamp buggy, a sea going
tractor with enormous tires, was
flown here from Eglin Field, Fla.
1t is designed to navigate marsh
lands and shallow, reed-fllled
waters.
Officials at Chatham Field said
it was doubtful whether the re-
naming bodies would be recov-
cred. The impact of the crash
buried the giant bomber deep in
the muck.
The Air Force also planned to
use heliocopters to drop equipment
to the search party.

Reds in Rome Cancel
| General Strike Call
~ the Assoeioisd Press

ROME, Dec. 24.-The Commu-
nist-led Chamber of Labor today
called-then called off-a general
strike to protest police measures
against a peasants meeting that
would have conceded with the
Holy Year opening ceremonies.
Union executives Cancelled the
strike 80 minutes after 1t had been
due to start. They said Interior
Minister Mario Scelba had prom
ised to release $50 persons de-
tanned by the police and to remove
more than 600 police from the
square In which the union head
quarters is located.
The square is also the site of
the Basilica OF st. Mary Major,
one Of Rome's four major
churches in which ceremonies in
augurating the Holy Year were
held today. The police had been
stationed in the square to prevent
interference with the church cere-
mony.
The Chamber of Labor had
originally set its peasants meet
ing for the Colosseum, then
changed it to the chamber head
quarters at the direction of the
police. When the heavy police
guard filled the square, however,
only about 200 peasants were able
to reach the union building.

Although there were no i'm
