Sighting May Give Hint Regarding Missing Am-
 eritan Plane in Baltic

WIESBADEN. Germany. April l. -tRt-The crew of an American search plane today reported the sighting of an oil slick. and what appeared to be life raft. in the Baltic Sea area where a US. Navy plane is missing.
 The searching B-17, piloted by Capt Banta M. York of Raleigh. NC, scanned the seas off Born holm Island. Denmark. for six hours and returned to Copenhagen late in the day when it's fuel ran low.
 Air Force headquarters here quoted Sgt. Kinthrop Maddox ot Griffin, Ga, member of York's crew as saying:
 Tt looed like a life raft to me. It was partly submerged in the center of an oil slick. The yellow color showed up. and it looked like it might have been equipment of, an airplane."
 York said he saw debris but no signs of life.
 An oil slick is left on the water by sinking planes or vessels. The plane sought is four-engine Pri- water, which left Wiesbaden Sat- urday for Copenhagen. and may have been disabled, air officers here fear, by Russian gunfire.
 The search planes reports did not raise much hope for the missing crew of 10. A Danish pilot who went to the scene said he believed the American pilot might have beer nisled by buoy placed by the Rus ians to mark dumped mustard gas

HASHINGTON-Five years ago today, Harry Truman stood un- easily in the Cabinet Room of uneasily in the Cabinet Room of the White House taking the oath as President of the United States. He was humble man, imploring the Lord for guidance and the American people for help.
 A lot has changed since then. The wars then raging on two con- tinents are officially ended, though they continue unofficially without loss of life. The men who saw Harry Truman take the oath and who helped him during those first trying days are largely gone now. Bob Hannegan, who put his friend in the White House almost with his own bare hands, is dead, sad dened by the fact that the Presi- dent had turned his back.
 Three Secretaries of State have also come and gone-Ed Stettin- jus, now dead; Jimmy Byrnes, now bitter; and George Marshall, now retired.
