Brake Trouble Lands
Bixbys in Tokyo Mud
BY the Assoeiufsd Press

TOKYO, April 8.-Engine trou-
BILE broke up the Flying Bixby's
attempt to beat a world -circling
speed record and brake trouble
landed them in the mud on their
way home today.
Bob and Diana Bixby buzzed in
from Calcutta in their speedy
twin-engine Mosquito. a model
which was one of the fastest
bombers In the late war. They
had averaged about 800 miles an
hour en- route.
Then, as the wife prepared to
put the plane down at Tokyos
Haneda Airport. she and her hus-
band hear a bang. They thought
the hydraulic line to the brakes
had snapped. '~
Later they found that a valve
in the air brakes had frozen in the
high attitudes and had not thawed
when they came in. The brakes
were as good as ever a few hours
later.
In any case, they came in as
slowly as possible. The plane
rolled the length Of the runway
and wound up in mud half a foot
deep. There was no damage.
Engine trouble at Calcutta Mon
day forced them to give up the
idea OF beating the late Bill Odom's

It's going to be a long time
before Eleanor baltimore asks her
husband to cook hamburgers for
company again in their outdoor
fireplace at their country home
near Baltimore.
"I'll think twice before I give
another picnic" she said yester-

She had heard her husband,
Owen baltimore. the Far Eastern
expert, deny before Senate
Foreign Relations subcommittee
that he is-or ever has been-a
Communist. She had watched
shyly the outburst of clapping and
foot stamping by spectators in the
jammed hearing room when her
husband concluded his defense
against the charges brought by
Senator Mccarthy, Republican, of
Wisconsin.

Eleanor baltimore is a small.

to her own husbands further
testimony before the Tydings COM
mittee. she is one of the spunkiest
wives in these parts. When she
was only a bride, she set out by

400 miles across the Siberian
wastelands to join her husband on

wouldn't give him a visa to join
her. So she crossed the snow
covered steppes of Siberia and
caught up with her professor
husband. Together they explored
Central Asia as part of the back
ground of the IL books he has
written.
She pooh-poohed any real help
she may have given her husband

subsequent to that, Senator
Lodge made a speech on the floor

that none of the charges made
by Senator Mccarthy had thus

the file. I notice that Senator

Senator Mccarthy has said all

WIESBADEN, Germany, April

in the American zone were given

Because of its unusual nature,
the law was suspended in 1948 by
Gen. Lucius d. Clay, then military
governor. The suspension was
lifted today by High Commissioner
John j. McCloy.
Gen. Clay had suspended the
measure-called the labor-man-
agement co-determination law
in the hope that the West German
federal government would enact
a uniform federal law covering
the issue.
The federal government not
having acted, Mr.. McCloy wrote
the Hessian government: "A
substantial period of time having
elapsed since the information OF
the federal government, I fee
that cannot longer justiflably
suspend the operations of the
Hessian legislation on this sub

Political Followers
OF Binaggio File
Past His Casket
BY me Assoeioisd Prsss

KANSAS CITY, April 8.-Friends
and political followers Of. faction
boss Charles Binaggio and his
strong-arm aide, Charles Gar
gotta. filed past their caskets TO-
day.
The two, found slain together
early Thursday morning in their
First District Democratic Club, lay
side by side in death.
Hundreds viewed the bodies last
night. Small traffic jams clogged
the area Of the funeral home.
But no progress in searching for
clues in their murder was re-
ported.
Police continued to question
associates of the dead men yes
terday. Stories that Binaggio had
failed to deliver after q promise
to open up the State for gambling
were checked as police included
men listed as gamblers in their
quizzes.
Trips Studied.
And out-of town trips. espe-
eially to st. Louis, were scanned.
In a copyrighted story the st.
Louis Star-Times has reported
that Binaggio practically received
a death sentence in that city last
January. The paper said gamblers
were angry because of Binaggio's
inability to open up gambling
after accepting heavy loans in
the State political campaign two
years ago.
A search through the safe in
the club where the two men were
found shot in the head was
planned this morning.
But nothing to lead to the
killers was expected. Henry Nc
Kissick, president of the club, told
police last night only a list of
club members could be found in
the safe.
Had Recording Device.
A concealed tape recording de-
vice IN Blnaggio's desk at the club
was revealed last night. A micro
phone was hidden in a drawer. A
nudge with his knee was sufficient
for Binaggio to move the button to
record conversation with a caller.
But the only tape found was
that apparently used to test the
machine, police said.
A playback produced only brief
conversation among several un-
identified men discussing horse
racing.
A police guard has stood over
the club since the bodies were
found and police said no other
tape was found in the club.
Mr.. McKissick denied any tape
would be found in the safe.
Bodies of both men will remain
at the funeral home until burial.
Blnaggio will be buried from Holy
Rosary Catholic Church here at IL
am. Monday and tentative ar
rangements are for Gargotta to be
buried from the same church.
