Gunmen Fire On British
 Navy Admiral

LONDON, Feb. ll-R-Gunmen fired two shots from a moving car today at Director of British Naval Intelligence.
 Their target, Rear Admiral Eric Longley-Cook, was unhurt and chased his attackers nine miles in his automobile before losing them on the outskirts of London.
 The attack came as Britain, shocked by the atomic spying case of Klaus Fuchs, touched off one of the greatest counter-es espionage and security checkups since the start of World War One.
 Various branches of the military intelligence took part in the investi- gations which led to the arrest of Fuchs. A spokesman for Prime Min ister Attlee said he could not specu- late whether Longley-Cook had played any role in such investiga- tions.
 The Rear Admiral as Director of Naval Intelligence is in charge of security for Britain's latest an- nolmced atomic-project-the build ing of atomic energy plants for ships.
 Two bullets drilled through the windshield of the Admirals car as he drove through UXbridge. on the outskirts of London. He sped after the car but it eluded him near Ac- tion, a West London suburb.

EASTWARD SUCKED FROM
 PLANE DOOR

NEW YORK, Feb. H. R A crewman was sucked through the open door of a giant airliner early today as the plane winged it's way through darkness 5000 feet over Long Island.
 A search was begun for his body.
 Airline spokesman said a power- ful air draft tugged John Harris, 28-year-old steward, through an accidentally open door of the pre- surized main passenger compart- ment.
 The plane, Pan American World Airways transocean Strato- cruiser, was flying at about 200 miles an hour when the door flew open, and Harris was swept cut into space.
 T felt sudden gust of wind" said Mrs. Anna Karjicek, a pas senger. "The steward was standing near the door. Just like flash, the wind blew him out.'
 "A long gasp or cry" followed, she said.
 Other crew men hurried into the passenger compartment to try to close the door, but were unable to do so because of the powerful wind pressure.
 Inspectors of the Civil Aeronau- tics Authority and the Civil Aeron- autics Board launched an immed- fate investigation. Crewmen were questional after the plane-on flight from London-landed at New York International Airport.
 There was no explanation why the door came open.
 Capt. John T. Dolan of Hunting ton, N. Y, pilot of the plane, said he had received clearance for land- ing, and was reducing altitude when Harris was lost through the open- ing of the main cabin door"
 The passengers remained calm and cooperative" he added. "The light was completed without fur ther incident
 Twenty-two passengers arrived on the plane

GOLD WAR VICTIM INFERRED 52DAYS,
 BIG DI0MEDE, DIES

Roger Menadelook, 38, was one of the 18 Little Diomede Island Es- kimos interned on Russia's Big Dio- mede Island for 52 days in 1948 He died January 23 at the Govern ment Hospital here of tuberculosis.
 Although his death cannot be blamed directly on the A days he spent in solitary confinement ana on a starvation diet, Alaska Native Service officials here said today his internment on Big Diomede was cer- tainly a contributing factor" in his death.
 The internment of Menadelook and his friends from the American island in Bering Strait followed a sudden change in policy about which the Eskimos knew nothing.
 The party was going on a vaca- tion trip to East Cape in Siberia in August 1948 The Little Diomede Islanders speak the same dialect as the East Cape natives and are closely related. Up until 1948 they had been allowed to come and go across the strait, visiting and trad ing with their Friends and relatives in Siberia.
 But when the 18 Eskimos, lnclud ing Menadelook, stopped at Big Diomede Island on their way to East Cape, they were told to stay with their boats. Armed Russian guards were placed around the camp, and Menadelook, onetime special student at the University Of Alaska, was taken before the Rus sian army captain for questioning
 He was asked about defenses on Seward Peninsula, artillery at Nome the number of troops there, the depth of the harbor, the location of the Coast Guard station, and other questions about Alaska's Boring Sea defenses.
 He said later in an article appear ing in the New York Sunday News that he was questioned from five to 12 hours each day, and each night returned to the tent where he was confined alone for A days. There he slept on a fleece jacket with one cotton blanket over him and was cold although he wore his parka continually.
 By the time the party was re- leased by the Russians, each had lost from 10 to 20 pounds and stag gered weakly from starvation.
 Menadelook developed tuberculosis a month after his return to Little Diomede Island. He was admitted to the Government Hospital last year and died two weeks ago.
 He left daughter ill with tuber- culosis at Mount Edgecumbe Hos pital. and his wife and two sons on Little Diomede, three miles on the free side of the Iron Curtain.

WASHINGTON-Quotes from a speech by Senator McMahon of Connnecticut: Building the hy- drogen bomb does not promise se- curity for the United States. It only promises averting for few months or years well-nigh certain catas trophe. Our diplomacy must tap the roots of our imagination and ingenuity We may choose be- tween moving heaven and earth to stop the atomic armaments race. Or initiating our totalitarian rivals. We must blame ourselves for failing to bring our message of peace to the people behind the Iron Curtain. We must not only crack the Iron Curtain and gain .the ear of the Russian people, we must also gain the ear of the people on this side of the Curtain. gain the ear of the people on the near side of the Iron Curtain . We spend $29,0O0,000 a year on what we call the Voice of America, though it should be called the whisper of America. Yet we spend over $30,000,000 year to advertise cosmetics. .ListleSsness and med iocracy have characterized our at tempts to sell what America is, what America wants and what America intends. I favor print ing millions of leaflets for world wide circulation explaining a new United States proposal on atomic. peace We should publicly and repeatedly challenge the Kremlin to make public the terms of our proposal to newspaper readers and radio listeners inside Russia. .. ,This is a time for soul-searehing, for launching moral crusade for peace which alone can save us."

Americans Praise Canad- ian Aid-Searlh for Miss
 ina C. 54 Continues

WHITEHORSE, Y. T., Feb. H. tR-A daring, dogged rescue of 10 airmen who crash-landed on a barren, snowy Yukon mountaintop four days ago was all but com- plete today. Nine were brought here last night. The tenth was to be flown in after daybreak today.
 The crash survivors had spent three days and nights in sub zero cold after their U. s. Air Force CAT struck the 1000 foot moun- tain 60 miles northwest of here last Tuesday.
 Their plane met disaster while engaged in the giant aerial search for a USAF C-54 which disappeared Jan. 26 with A persons aboard. Five men of para-rescue team, who made a pinpoint drop onto the peak Thursday, aided the 10 fliers from the CAY down the steep, rugged slope yesterday. Three of the survivors were injured.
 At the mountains base they were met hy Canadian and U. s. Res- cue party which had forged 60 miles through the wastes from Whitehorse. losing there of four weasel snow tractors enroute.
 A short time later a USAF res cue helicopter piloted by It. Frank Alden, Boston, Mass, put down in small, nearby clearing.
 shuttle Flights
 Making shuttle flights to Pon Lake, Is miles away. Alden was able to remove five Americans and four Canadian of the CAT opera tional and spotter crew before dark ness fell.
 The remaining man, ofPrincess Patricia's Canadian light infantry, was left at the mountain base camp and will be picked up by the heli- copter today. ssiA M i,e he4is
 From Pon Lake. the nine men were loaded into CAT transport and ferried the 45 miles here.
 The one stretcher case was M- Sgt. c. R. Dunne 30, Los Angeles, Calf. whose left leg was fractured in several places when a propel- Tor slashed through the fuselage during the crash landing.
 
 Pvt. R. L 10th, Is, Newport News, Va. suffered head injuries and shock that caused him to lose his memory for eight hours.
 Sgt. E. J. Wesloski. 48, Milwau- kee, Wis, the crew chief, was hurt about the chest. It. D. J. King, 28, Belleville, N. J., the pilot, and It. H. L. Zach ariae, 20 Tulsa, Okla, escaped with minor scalp injuries.
 Five Unhurt
 The five Americans were riding in the forward section of the plane where they received the full force of the impact. The five Canadians in the rear were shaken up but unhurt.
 Morale of the survivors was des- cribed by the crew of the rescue plane as terrific" They said the injured Americans had high praise for the Canadian who administered first aid, kept fires burning and schielded them from the biting cold during the nights on the peak. Meanwhile, the search for the missing C-54 goes on unceasingly.
 Hope that at least some of the A alive has been kept kindled by persistent radio distress signals. More were heard yesterday from the general area 200 miles north west of Juneau, Alaska. others were believed to have come from interior British Columbia.
 Thus far the calls have proved yalueless in efforts to locate the l Ioet fro,,cnprf
