SELLECK, Wash, Dec. 10
His life saved by the same huge
beam that held him prisoner 400
feet underground through 81
hours of torture, John Wolff was
clawed to freedom by rescue
crews last night.
The .54-year-old miner was
weak, suffering severe pain and
near a state of shock when he
was brought to the surface.
His right arm was crushed and
his face covered with a grimy,
three-day growth of beard. Etched
into his face was a record of the
agonizing, doubt-f1lled hours he
had spent in what rescuers were
sure until early yesterday was
his tomb.
Mr.. Wolff was caught in an
avalanche of rock and timbers at
1885 pm. Wednesday when the
mine roof gave way. Several other
miners escaped. but they were
sure he had been swept to his
death by the slide which came
without warning.
And he would have been, too,
Mr.. Wolff said. except for a huge

The beam held him securely,
but it and others fell around him
in such a manner that they held
off the other debris. He was able

CAA Head Describes
Plan for New Capital
STA Million Airport

The amount of planning to be
completed before work can begin
on Washington's projected $14
million airport was described here
yesterday by the, new Civil Aero
rautics Administrator.
Donald w. Nyrop said the IA
cility must be adequate to meet
the needs of the Capital for at
least 80 years, by which time the
two airports are expected to be
used by up to 35 million passen-
gers annually.
Mr.. Nyrop said he expects to
announce, in a few days, the
makeup of a committee to work
with Federal and civic agencies to
plan the new airport and make a
recommendation on several sites
now under consideration in nearby
Maryland and Virginia.
Preliminary Studies Made.
The speaker told the aviation
committee of the Board of Trade
that preliminary studies are being
made as to highway requirements,
traffic facilities at the airport and
the separation Of airways so as not
to conflict with existing airports.
Meanwhile. navigational aids
at National Airport are being
strengthened to speed the flow of
commercial traffic there at a time
when it is reaching the saturation
point at rush hours and periods of
poor visibility
The airport's new control tower
went into operation this week, Mr..
Nyrop said. At the same time, a
postwar traffic surveillance radar
is being flight checked, along with
a device to identify individual air
planes on the screen.
Range of 80 Miles.
This new Scanner, with a range
Of some 80 miles and an attach
ment for talking down" aircraft
on landing approaches, will speed
up departures as well as landings
by helping to enforce safe separa-
ton between airplanes in thick
weather or darkness.
New equipment soon to be in
operation includes a mechanical
interlock" connecting the local
traffic control center with the air
port tower. An electric device en-
ables controllers at both points to
see what attitudes and air spaces
are free Of traffic.
The CAA soon will take over
from the Air Force the operation
of long-range radar scanner
capable of picking up aircraft at
distance of from 100 to $50 miles,
the speaker said.
One advantage will be to give
CAA traffic men information on
which to route military planes to
Andrews Air Force Base while
keeping them clear Of the busy
air space around National and the
two military airports across the
Potomac.
The luncheon meeting, held in
the Burlington Hotel. was presided
over by Howard c. Drake, chair
man Of the aviation committee.

War Trial Of Hirohito

MOSCOW, Dec. 16.-The Soviet
Union has repeated its proposal
that Emperor Hirohito of Japan
be tried as a war criminal.
In notes to the United States
and Britain yesterday. Russia

generals be tried by a military
court on charges that he planned

(The February note was re-

GW0utIook Darkened
By Close Call Against
Fighting Cavaliers

George Washington's future in
Southern Conference basketball
seemed gloomy today as the
Colonials posted a $3.50 win over
Virginia and Coach Bill Reinhart
pondered ways Of improving the
defense without weakening his
offense.
A sparse crowd of less than 500
saw the downtown dribblers freeze
the ball during the last 2 minutes
of last nights game at Uline Arena
to clinch their second victory in
four starts. It was tense affair,
but it left Reinhart decidedly
skeptical of the future.
Coach Gus Tebell of Virginia
had good reason to bemoan his
luck, for it was his third loss to a
team from this area by total Of
7 points. Maryland's Bud Mill
kan ordered freeze tactics to give
the Terrapins a 2-point victory
in their first game at College Park
and steered his men to a 3-point
triumph in the return engagement
at Charlottesville.
Cavaliers Keep Fighting.
A freeze was the last thing ex-
pected last night as George Wash
ington twice held leads Of IA and
IS points. and on three other &C.
casions led by 10-point margins.
But just when the Colonials
seemed on the verge Of running
off with the decision, Virginia rail-
lied and narrowed the gap. Last
nights win, plus a 6-point victory
over Richmond, plainly indicated
the size of Reinhart's problem.
Bob Endenbaum and Artie
Cerra set the pace for CIV with
II and is points. respectively. but
It was Ray Adler's tap-in in the
last couple of minutes that pro-
vided the Colonials' winning mar
gin. Edenbaum and Cerra, like
Vic Mohl and Gil Hooper Of Viz
ginia, fouled out before the finish.
Mohl, who kept the Cavaliers
in the running during the first
half. which ended with CIV in

ROME, Sunday, Jan. 15.-An
American evangelist of the Church
of Christ said today the Roman
Catholic church, in it's fight
against communism, tries to link
all other religious groups with the
Communist Party.
This was the reply of Cline r.
Paden of Brownf1eld, Tex, super

statement by the Vatican's Osser-
vatore Romano that the activities
of his group have become purely
Communist"
This outright attack on Amer

including the Church of Christ"
Mr.. Paden said, "is obviously un-
true"
Conversely" Mr.. Paden said,
"the Communist press in Italy has
steadily attacked the Church Of
Christ as capitalist supporters Of
the ERP (Marshan Plan) until
recently when they used us poll
tically in their fight against the
Catholic church"
Further replying to the Catholic
newspaper, Mr.. Paden said the
Church of Christ, with United
States membership of 100000.

in Italy for a year and has dis

ton that this sudden reverse of
the fortunes Of legal war has done
more than build up DR.. Murray as
factor in the trial-it also has
had the subtle effect of rebuilding
DR.. Binger to some extent.
1t is like the magician who tries
to do his trick twice. The first
time. the rabbit disappears. The
second time, not only does the rab-
bit fail to disappear-but the aud
ience also begins to see how the
magician did it the first time.
Footnote On Trial.
Mr.. Murphy, towering, genial
man with a bushy mustache, is
not magician, Of course, but a
first-class lawyer, and he is trying
the case of his life. This COM
mentary is not offered in criticism
Of him.
1t is offered only as a footnote
to the great study of courtroom
technique which Mr.. Hiss trial is
providing, particularly In the
handling Of kind of psychiatric
testimony for which there is no
precedent In the history of Amer
lean law.
MIR. Chambers mental condi-
ton is not the primary problem of
the jury Of 8 women and 4 men
which has been hearing this case
since November II. Their primary
problem is whether Mr.. Hiss did
or did not lie to q grand jury
when he swore he never gave
secret State Department papers
to Mr.. Chambers, an admitted ex-
Communist agent, for transmits
sion to Russian spies.
None but the jurors know what
effect - If any - the prosecutors
current troubles will have on the
ultimate verdict.
