The Rev. Paul A. McNally. 81.
dean of the Georgetown Medical
School who is in charge of the
hospital, refused to grant the
union recognition, Mr.. Levine said.
Employe Exemption Claimed
Hospital authorities, according
to Mr.. Levine, took the position
that the Hartley Act exempts
hospital employees from its collec-
tive bargaining provisions. In ad-
dition they insisted the union does
not represent a majority of the
service employees and turned down
an offer to have an impartial
civic group conduct an election
Mr.. Levine said.
Mr.. Levine said employees of the

President Truman's trip down
here on the yacht Williamsburg

peared, it was disclosed here to-
day.
After the battering off the
Carolina coast on March IA, the
President laughingly commented
that nobody got hurt" Now it is
disclosed that an eight-foot jack
staff at the bow was ripped off;
a sea chest containing foul
weather gear was torn up and it's
contents scattered. and a steel
door was ripped off its hinges.
The presidential yacht was on
the downward plunge after top
ping one wave, when another
one smashed her before she could
rise again.
1t. L. L. Woodward, officer of
the deck, was on the bridge,
one level above the forecastle,
when the water. hitting with the
force of tons, sent him sprawling.
President Truman seemingly
was in no danger at any time, so
long as he remained in his quar-
terS, which are aft.

Rios Faces CAB Panel
April 10 in Hearing
To Revoke Certificate

The Bolivian whose war-surplus
fighter cut down an airliner here
November l with death to all SIS
aboard will have a hearing April
10 on a Federal action to revoke
his pilots certificate.
Capt. Eric Rios Bridoux has in
dicated he will defend himself
against charges of careless and
reckless" flying brought by the
Civil Aeronautics Administration
January S in an effort to cancel
the limited commercial pilots GER
tificate issued to him in this coun-
try.
A special panel from the Civil
Aeronautics Board has set the ten
tative date for the public hearing.
The board, meanwhile, has made
no official finding'as result of the
extensive inquiry it conducted into
causes of Americas worst aircraft
disaster
The panel will be headed by
Thomas Simon. chief safety ex-
aminer of the CAB.
May Determine Liability.
What action the CAB takes on
the CAAs charges and the boards S
official findings as to the cause
of the crash probably will help
to determine legal liability for the
accident.
Damage suits totaling more than
$2.5 million already have been
filed, and more are expected.
Capt. Rios has been sued per-
sonally by Eastern Air Lines in
District Court for $500,000 dam
ages in the loss of the DC-4. Nine
other suits have been filed by
families of the victims. ranging
from $4,000 to $500,000. Three
were brought against Capt. Rios
personally; others name the pilot
and airline jointly, and one in
cludes the Government among the
parties sued.
Capt. Rios. sole survivor of the
mid-air collision on a southern
approach to National Airport, de-
MED all responsibility for the
crash upon his release from the
hospital where he spent 81 days
under treatment for broken
back and other injuries.
Bolivia Denies Ownership.
The Bolivian government,
through its Embassy here, denied
it had accepted delivery of the
P-38 fighter which Capt. Rios
had been test hopping here. In
his answer to CAA charges on
February 2, however, Capt. Rios
asserted that his government
owned the aircraft he flew on the
day of the accident.
The CAA charged Capt. Rios
with demonstrating "a lack of
skill. care and judgment necessary
to the holder" of his certificate.
/
The plane carried no airworthi-
ness certificate. it was charged.
Capt. Rios also failed to comply
with the airport's traffic pattern,
it was said, and failed to give
way to an aircraft cleared for
landing.
Ordinarily, pilots certificate
would be suspended upon filing
Of the charges. In the case of
Capt. Rios, however. the injuries
he suffered when hurled into the
Potomac precluded the possibility
that he might fly any more air.
