Atlantic Nonstop

SHANNON AIRPORT, Ireland,
R-Mrs. Marian Hart, 61-year-old
American sportswoman, flew a
single-engine sports plane nonstop
across the Atlantic yesterday in
1872 hours.
It was the first direct crossing
in a small, single engine plane
from Newfoundland to Ireland
since the pioneering days of trans
Atlantic flight.
The New York woman said she
planned the flight to save the cost
of taking the wings off her Beach
craft and sending it across by
ship.
The project wound up costing
her three times as much as it
would have to ship the plane but
it was worth it she said, because
lit was such a beautiful crossing
IN bright moonlight" She declined
to say how much she spent.
She was accompanied by Wayne
Vetterlein, 80, Of Shawnee on
Delaware, Pa, who served as CO.
pilot and navigator.
They covered about $500 miles
from their takeoff at Torbay,
Mild. Flying at 5000 feet, they ar
rived here an hour behind sched-
ule, but still had enough fuel left
for 312 hours of flying.
Vetterlein made the trip on a
busman's holiday basis, while TAX

lar job as co-pilot with Pan Am

U. S. prisoner said Friday the

would return all captiveS, includ-

ried sentences of ''ho repatria-
ton"
The report came as the Com
munists turned back IA more
Americans, many of whom told Of
continuing brutality and torture
behind closed doors right UP to
the armistice.
Lit. Roy Z. Boyd, Winnetka, Ill,
said the Chinese commander at
his camp told prisoners a few
days ago the Reds would return
all prisoners, adding that this
includes criminals and men con
victed of germ warfare"
Peiping has maintained that I'M
der terms of the Geneva Conven-
ton for treatment Of war prison
ers, the Communists had right
to withhold from immediate re-
patriation men convicted of
''crimes." The United Nations
Command pointed out the armis
tice agreement calls for the re-
turn Of all willing prisoners.
Prisoners have said many Of
their comrades were sentenced on
such phony charges as ''instigat-
ing against the peace" and others
were forced to confess they had
waged germ warfare. The United
Nations Command has dismissed
the Red germ warfare charges as
propaganda.
Fridays delivery brought the
number of Americans returned to
2,422 of the 1913 the Reds said
they held. The Reds have sent

UNITED NATIONS, NY, R-
The U.N. General Assembly gave
an overwhelming endorsement
Friday to an American backed
plan for the Korean peace confer
ence despite vigorous Russian op-

The plan provides that only
countries who fought under the

India averted certain defeat
by withdrawing as a possible par
ticipant just before the voting
began.
With United States backing, the
assembly recommended that Rus
STA could take part in the confer
ence, "provided the other side de-
sires it," This means that, if Rus
STA goes, she will have to sit on
the Communist side with Red
China and North Korea.

Statehood Chances
Not Bad Says
Sen. Hugh Butler

ANCHORAGE, Up - Sen. Hugh
Butler, who alone has opposed
statehood for Alaska, said We'd
nesday he believes the prospects
for statehood now are mot bad"
The senator, chairman of the
Senate Interior and Insular AT
fairs Committee which has been
conducting hearings on statehood
in the territory, said ne would call
a meeting Of the committee to
consider the problem before the
scheduled January S opening Of
Congress.
He has ordered transcript Of the
hearings and will distribute copies
to all senator's before the conven-
ing date if possible.
Butler said Alaskans would be
smart to get all the land they
could. He pointed to the troubles
experienced by Western states
where the federal government still
controlled large areas. He ex-
pressed the belief Alaska could
afford to wait for statehood but
should not be asked to wait .'for-
ever or an unreasonably long
time"
Even with favorable legislation
this session, he said, it would re-
quire two years Of proceedings
before the territory could achieve
statehood
He visited Cordova and Valdez
Wednesday and planned a tour of
the Matanuska Valley Thursday.
Five other senators who had been
here for the hearings returned to
the States.
Delegate Bartlett said he be-
lieved territory wide referen-
dunn now would show statehood
winning 4 to l. He based his be-
lief on the preponderance of testi-
mony at the committee hearings.
My hope now is" he said, "that
the administration will come out
in favor Of both Hawaii and
Alaska, in conformance with the
COP platform.
