Five Marines Killed
As Bomber Crashes;
Two Escape Death
BY the Associafed Press

SILER CITY, N. c., April 13.
Five Marines were killed and
one critically injured in fam
ing crash of a medium torpedo
bomber near here last night.
The pilot, 1st 1t. George Nc
Hardy, 81, Of Chicago, escaped
by parachute and suffered only
minor injuries. 1t. r. A. Will
son, 81, of Urbana, Ill.,, was
listed as still in critical condi-
tion today. but doctors said his
chances of recovery were i'm
proved. He was to be removed
by Marine helicopter to the
naval hospital at Camp Lejeune,
N. c., later today.
On 2 Championship Teams.
1t. Wilson is former athlete
who had the distinction of play
ing on Western Conference
championship football teams at
two schools. He was on the
Purdue team in 1943 and the
Illinois team in 1916. In 1945,
while at Purdue, he also was
heavyweight wrestling champion
of the Big Nine.
The plane was on the last leg
of a round-trip training flight
between the Cherry Point. Ma
rine Corps Air Station, its home
base, and the Glenview GllD
Naval Air Station.
A Marine Corps spokesman re-
ported today that 1t. McHardy
said the plane developed engine
trouble just after passing Green's
boro, N. c. With the engine
sputtering and the plane los
ing altitude at more than a
thousand feet a minute, fire
broke out under the engine
cowling.
Told Men to Get Set.
1t. McHardy said he radioed
a report of the fire to the Green's
boro Airport, then told the five
enlisted men in the rear of the
plane to check their parachutes
and prepare to bail out. That
was at 5000 feet-and when the
plane failed TO respond to the
controls, 1t. McHardy said he
gave the May day" distress sig
nal over the intercom. Then
communications failed. He said
he turned and shouted for the
men to bail out, but wasn't sure
whether they heard, OF whether
some already had jumped.
Most of the bodies were found
within a short distance of one
another. but the plane had dis
integrated and was spread over
a large area. Several partly
opened parachutes we're found.
The Cherry Point public in
formation office identified the
dead as:

cago.

The CED also repeated a pre-

Back School Board,
Minister Urges

The Rev. Ross Allen Weston,
Arlington minister, yesterday
stepped into the county'S politi-
cal arena and urged his congre-
cation to vote tomorrow for
continuation of "the splendid
school program" now in effect.
The assault against the pres
ent School Board and the attack
against the quality of education
in Arlington County has its
source in those citizens who are
concerned chiefly with making a
profit at the expense of educa-
ton and gaining power in local
politics" Mr.. Weston declared in
a sermon.
The Arlington Unitarian Church
minister, who recently was
cleared of a contempt of court
citation growing out of a sermon
in which he commented on a
court ruling, did not name spe-
cif1c Candidates.
But it was clear that he was
backing Nominating Conference
Candidates E. R. Draheim, in
cumbent, and Clark Keating for
the school board. The two are
opposed by Independent Move
ment Candidates James R. Miles

entire Democratic ticket.

Wind That Stopped School
Blew Some Good, After All
By the Associated Press

MANCHESTER, KY, Nov. O.
A wind that toppled the Blue
Hole Community's schoolhouse,
leaving 80 pupils without a place
to attend classes, blew some
good, after all.
The remote Clay County ham
let was promised a new school
today-a sturdy block one to re-
place the f1imsy frame one the
wind blew into a creek.
Construction of a new school
was made possible by a gift of
land by Mrs. Serah Collett. All
the pupils are her grandchildren
or otherwise related to her.
1t was her son Wilk who led
parents in protesting the made
quacy of the old building. The
schools students struck more
than three weeks ago, declaring
the old school was dangerous.
A few hours later winds demol-
lShed the structure.

i An employe in one agency do
ing practically the same kind
of work as a worker in another
department may receive con-
siderably less pay. This sort of
thing has played hob with en-
ploye morale, Senator Carlson
noted.
Also. the present system has
resulted in lot of duplicating
efforts on the part of wage
boards, with the result that ad-
justment of wage board en-
ployes' salaries often lags far be-
hind in relations to changes in
living costs, he noted.
Senator Carlson has asked the
Civil Service Commission to work
out plans for a single wage board
setup. which he can then in
troduce as legislation in Congress
next year. Under the proposal,
the Government wide wage
board would be a unit with the
csc.
Federal employe groups will
insist on labor representation on
the board, the same as is the
practice now on the various
agency wage boards. Senator
Carlson's legislation undoubted-
ly will contain this provision.
AGRICULTURE - The forth
coming reorganization in the
Agriculture Department will re-
suit in about 800 employees in the
field losing their jobs, but very
little change among employees in
Washington.
That's the estimate of Agri-

officials. Washington employees
in the Production and Market
ing Administration and the
Bureau of Agricultural Econo-.
mics, which are being abolished
and the functions transferred
elsewhere, were assured of reas-
signment rights by the Civil
Service Commission the other
day. In the field, Agriculture's
reorganization will eliminate 800
jobs in the Soil Conservation
Service.

RICHMOND. Va, Nov. 2.-The
following election-eve statement
was issued today by Ted Dalton
Republican candidate for Gov
ernor::
Fellow Virginians:
1--WE want Virginia to have
honest o-goodness competition
resulting from the establishment
of two-party system.
"Under one-party control, Vir-
ginia stands 37th among the
States in teacher pay, 41st in
care of the mentally i'll. She
has missed 5000 million in new
industry in the@past five years.
"The entrenched machine
keeps many county School
Boards removedfrom the people,
burdens judges With political ap-
pointments, refuses to repeal the
poll tax or clean up absent vote
frauds.
"On such issues, I have spoken
clearly. My opponent, expecting
an easy victory in one-party
State, has evaded question after
question.
To meet the State Highway
Departments plea for an addi-
tional $40 million a year for the
next five years, I would submit
to the General Assembly and
the vote of the people road
plan that will not raise taxes
one dime. My opponent offers
nothing except the hope that
the Federal Government will re-
lease a portion Of it's gasoline
tax and the hint that Virginia
will raise the State gas tax.
Virginia cannot progress on
hopes and hints.
I'VE want to see Virginia the
first in the South to cast aside
in a State contest the fetish of
party labels and vote on the
merits of the issues and the
candidates.

lem by one yardstick: Is it good
for Virginia?

help. ~
with that help we will move

Spy Tells Of Sending
A-Reports 10 CzecIls
BY the Assoeiosed Press

LUCERNE. Switzerland, Nov.
2-Rudolf Roessler, one of
Russia's top spies of World
War II, admitted before Swiss
federal court today that he sent
to Communist Czechoslovakia
reports on how the Western
world was employing German
atomic scientists.
RoesSler confessed sending re-
ports to the Czechs on political,
economic and military measures
of the Western allies in Ger
many since 1947. He admitted
the dispatch also of details of
allied reparations obtained from
Germany.
Roessler, 56-year-old Ger
man exile, is charged with
sending Czechoslovakia some 100
highly detailed reports on West
erl military secrets in Germany
and Western Europe during the
past six years.
Charged with RoeSsler was
his Swiss contact man, Dr..
Xavier Schnieper, former mem
ber of the Swiss (CommuniStl
Labor Party, who delivered
Roessler's reports to Czech
agents in Switzerland, Germany
and CZechoSlovakia.
Roessler is facing the Swiss
courts for spying for the Sec
ond time in his life. At the
end of the war he was convicted
of sending German military
secrets to the Soviet Union, but
was freed without sentence be-
cause he also made his informa-
ton available to the Swiss Army.
Among Roessler's achieve
mentS during the war was
report giving the Russians two
weeks notice of the German
