Flaming Crash
Of Plane Kills
35in California
Cargo Craft Carrying
Air Force Personnel
To Orient ExpIodes
BY the Associoied Press

OAKLAND, Calf, Mar. 21.-
An investigation was launched
today into the flaming crash of
a four -engined plane last night
which claimed the lives of IS
passengers and crewmen.
The TranSocean Air Lines
cargo plane, operated on lease
from the Air Force. fell into a
soggy cabbage field at Decoto.
20 miles south of here, minutes
after clearing for a landing at
Oakland Airport.
Alameda County Sheriff's Capt.
Richard E. Condor, on the crash
scene, confirmed that there were
no survivors.
Bound for Orient.
All passengers were Air Force
personnel bound for the Far
East.
Transocean released the names
of crew personnel. They includ-
ed the company's chief pilot.
Harvey Rodgers, Al, of Lafayette.
Calf. He is survived by a widow
and three children.
Decoto is the same site of a
United Air Lines plane crash
August "a, 1851. which killed SO
passengers in California's worst
air disaster.
Eyewitnesses said the plane
drifted through light rain and
then bounced off the field and
ignited in ball of fire.
Series of Explosions.
Mrs. Henry Andrade, who
lives only 800 yards from the
crash scene, said she heard q
crash and then series Of ex-
| plosions. She ran as close to
the burning plane as she could
81 saw men with their clothes
on fire-some on the ground
some trying to get up, stagger-
ing, falling back into the
flames"
Sheriff's officers said bodies
could be seen burning within
the portion of the fuselage that
remained intact. The wreck
age of the plane was scattered
over a quarter-mile radius in
the soft, newly-plowed field
where it fell.
The civilian crew included a
stewardess. The 80 airmen were
from Walker Air Force Base,
Roswell, N. Mex. The Air Force
said the airmen were support
and maintenance specialists en-
route to the Far East for q tour
of duty with the 509th Bomber
Wing. The wings location was
not disclosed.
Secret Cargo Denied.
Many of the airmen's next
of kin live in Roswell, an Air
Force information officer said.
Most of the victims had been
stationed there for some time.
A rumor that the DC-4 might
be carrying "secret cargo" was
quickly denied by the Air Force.
Ambulances rushed the victims
to nearby hospitals. Mucky fields
and poor roads in the crash
area hampered efforts to evacu-
ate bodies and fight the fire.
Little was left of the plane
when the flames subsidized, but
one large section of the tail
and rear fuselage remained
Stark-white against the dark,
wet fields.
Transocean Air Lines is the
worlds largest non-scheduled
carrier. Its headquarters are in
Oakland. TranSocean planes
have flown, thousands of mill
tary personnel and tons of sup
plies from the West Coast to
Korea.

developed into open warfare be-
tween Secretary of State Dulles
and Senate criticS-about the
nomination of Charles E. Bohlen
as Ambassador to Russia. But
Mr.. Mcleod failed to appear.
1t was the third time in as
many days that Senator McCar-
thy, who is fighting the Bohlen
nomination, had failed to ar
range a meeting with Mr.. Nc
Leod.
The Senator refused to say
who he thought had issued the
order. He did say that it was
not President Eisenhower.

The Wisconsin Senator told
reporters who waited outside the
committee room that he under

the Bohlen nomination is acted
on in the Senate next week.

Senator Mccarthy then held a
long press conference, during
which he:

and challenged the statement of
Secretary Dulles yesterday that
there is no disagreement between

the Bohlen appointment when
he appears soon before an ap-

press conference Thursday, at
which the President reiterated
his support of Mr.. Bohlen.
Senator Mccarthy said that
ordinarily. his Investigations
subcommittee would issue a sub

in this case, he said. because

Senator Mccarthy predicted
again that Mr.. Bohlen will be

The Senator said he asked
that the vote be put off until
Wednesday to determine what
