Formed from
0usted CLOS

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14-tR--
Harry Bridges plans to unite un-
ions ousted from the CLIO on
charges of Communist domination
into a third, all leftist national Ia
Dor organization, according to
the San Francisco Chronicle.
The newspaper said that pur-
pose was indicated in Bridges
call yesterday for a national labor
conference in Washington, D. c.,
Nov. %. Joining in the conference
invitation were nine other left
wing labor chiefs.
Although other unions were in
vited. the call is obviously" directed
to organizations purged from the
CLIO for alleged Red leanings, the
Chronicle said
The convention idea was put
forth by Bridges at a New York
meeting two weeks ago. His own
International Longeshoremen's and
Warehousemen's Union recommend
ed such action for the mutual
protection" of the expelled unions.

Recently I've been thinking about
some of the discouraging things

things better and am almost temp

ing the push-and-shove struggle

Leaders of the striking CLIO Com

AIRL|NER
IN CRASH
FiftY-eighf Lives Lost, Ma
jority Returning Home
from Holy Year

~RFNOBLE. France. Nov. 14-lR
French mountain guides today To-
oated the shattered wreckage of q
Canadian airliner which apparently
dashed head on into an alpine
cliff with 81 passengers-mostly
Canadian Holy Year pilgrims and
crew of seven.
Their first radioed report indi-
Gated none CT the crash victims
was likely to be found alive.
The guides, pushing toward the
s3ene through rain and s., W,
messaged back that they had spot
ted the wreckage near the verticle
north face of Mount L'Obiou
range.
The plane crashed last night.
Photographs of Pope Plus XII,
who had blessed the pilgrims
shortly before they took off from
Rome yesterday for Paris and
home, were found scattered in a
forest seevral miles from the scene
Of the crash-apparently carried by
mountain gales.
Scraps of a diary written by one
of the pilgrims told of the audi
ence with the Pope and of reciting
the Rosary imploring the Mercy
of Heaven before boarding the
plane.
Completely Destroyed
The radio message from the
guides said: The airplare Seems
to be completely destroyed.
The wreckage OF the fuselage IS
scattered in mass of fallen earth
at the foot of the north wall Of
Mount L'Obiou at a spot looking
over the Isere River"
The guides said they had seen
the wreckage through a break in
the clouds shrouding the noun
tain.
The crash occurred about 85 mil
es from the spot where an Indian
Constellation plunged into the face
of Mount Blanc less than two
weeks ago, killing 43 East Indian
seamen and a crew of five. Al
though French mountain guides
reached the scene of that crash
in one of the most hazardous al
pine feats in history, none of the
bodies has been removed because
of the snow and the danger OF
winter avalanclJes. One French
guide was killed by an avalanche
during the climb.
