Air Crash Jury Told
All Defendants Were
Guilty Of Negligence

Eastern Air Lines, the Federal
Government and Bolivian pi-
lot, Capt. Erick Rios Bridoux
all were guilty of negligence in
the November, 1949, mid-air COL
lision of an airliner and a fighter
plane at National Airport, a
jury was told today in the
United States District Court for
the District of Columbia. The
crash was fatal to IS persons
aboard the airliner.
The negligence charges were
made by Attorney David G.
Bress, representing trustees of
the estates of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ralph F.. Miller. Mr.. Miller, a
lawyer. and his wife lived at
5112 Grove avenue, Chevy Chase,
Md. Both were killed in the
crash. The suit asks 81 million
damages. Named as defendants
are Eastern Air Lines, Capt.
Rios, pilot of the fighter plane.
and the Federal Government
which operates the central con-
troll tower at the airport.
The case is serving as test liti-
cation for more than SO suits
which seek damages totalling
over $40 million.
Mr.. BresS charged that the
airliner crew was negligent in
that its pilot broke the stand
ard landing pattern, failed tc
keep a lookout after being in
formed that the fighter plane
was in traffic, and failed to yielo
right of way.
Negligence was attributed tc
Capt. Rios because, Mr.. Bress
said, he failed to observe the
approaching airliner. The Fed
eral Government was charged
with negligence because the at
torney said, both the airliner
and Capt. Rios were instructed
by the central control tower to
come in on the same landing
strip. %
Capt. Rios told reporters he
is now employed as a pilot for
a Bolivian airline flying four
engine passenger planes and
cargo craft.

Big and Little I asks to Keep
Trumun Busy Till Last Whistle

was filed Saturday. Justice De-
partment attorneys are studying
records Of the case.
Mr.. Truman also is reported
ready to issue an order reserv-
ing on behalf Of the Federal
Government all off-shore petro-
leum deposits for use by the
Navy.
This would set of a new furor
over the "tidelandS" oil issue.
Gen. Eisenhower promised dur
ing the election campaign to
back claims Of the States to
underSeas oil of their shores. A
Republcan-sponsored bill CIV
ing the States title to the tide
lands oil already has been in
troduced in the Senate.
Gen. Eisenhower could, of
course, revoke the expected Tru-
man executive order. But he
might be embarrassed in this
case because he would have to
deny Mr.. Truman's contention
that the off-shore oil is a ma
donal asset needed for military
purposes.

to the scene at 5201 Loughboro
road NV, when the disturbance
assumed serious proportions.
When things quieted, more
than 20 policemen were on the
grounds, under direction of In
spector Robert Bryant, the night

The interior was Uttered with
wrecked and overturned furni-
ture.

ored girls school, and one of
several in the last decade. It
took a score Of police to quell
a disturbance there on Au-
gust %.

also Of the precinct.
1t. Kelleher, who remained in

To Curb Crashes

Top Air Force commanders IN.
formed q House inquiry today
that positive steps are being
taken against a renewal Of the
series Of disastrous air crashes in
the Northwest and Alaska in re-
cent months.
In addition. the witnesses be-
fore the House Armed Services
Committee made these points:
l. Civilian pilots who do not
file flight plans with Federal au-
thorities are hampering the ef-
forts of the air defense system
to identify all aircraft, especially
in Alaska.
2. Intemperate use Of alcohol
or physical exhaustion can
scarcely be considered as con-
tributing causes to pilot errors
in military accidents.
3. The United States Air Force
had nothing to do with the char
tering of q Gas which crashed
in the Western mountains last
week, resulting in the death Of
81 Korean veterans and all mem.
bers of the crew.
4. Gen. Hoyt s. Vandenberg,
Air Force chief of staff. ex.
pressed the view that the Air
Force accident rate is better than
that of either the Navy or Ma
rine Corps.
16 Alaska Changes Urged.
Maj. Gen. Roger Ramey, di-
rector of operations at head
quarters, U. S. A. F., said the
military had recommended 16
changes in the air navigational
system in Alaska.
In response to questions he
explained that the Civil Aero
nautics Administration, which
installs and operates the systems,
does all possible, in view Of its
budget limitations. to meet the
requests of the military.
The improvements should help
eliminate the possibility of navi-
gational error in a mountainous
Alaskan section where snow and
ice storms often weaken the
signals sent off by old-fashioned
radio ranges, the general said.
1,214 Killed During 1852.
Gen. Ramey testified that
1.214 persons were killed in 1852
in non-combat crashes involv-
ing U. s. A. F. planes through
out the world. This occurred
while a total of 64,O19, ,063 plane
miles were flown.
The majority Of those killed
were regularly assigned airmen
and not passengers, it was said.
In the operation Of the Military
Air Transport Service, only II
passengers were killed last year
in flights covering the United
States and most Of the Northern
Hemisphere.

other troublesome girl, also
about II years old.
Between them. they succeeded
in forcing the door lock Of the
room. They overpowered the
matron, Mrs. Nettie Jefferson,
and took her keys. The pair
then headed for the Farm Cot
tage, which houses about IL
girls. The two troublemakers
tried to get in this cottage, but
failed. They succeeded in STIR
ring up the first-floor occupants,
however, and six of these were
responsible for smashing win
dows and furniture.
The other occupants, stay
ing in the cottage basement
with another matron, Mrs. Nellie
Stone, remained reasonably
quiet.
AS the first-f1oor disturbance
built up. Mrs. Jefferson called
seventh precinct police.
Scout Cars Arrive.
Privates Garrett and Miller, in
Scout Car No. 73, and 1t. Kelle-
her, Corpl. George w. Cardona
and Pvt. Eugene Grimes, in the
lieutenant's car. answered the
call. They were quickly followed
by Pvts. Harry L. Begle and
Morton Walker in Scout Car II.
AS many other police also sped
to the scene, 1t. Kelleher and his
men attempted to storm the
first floor landing. He was hit
by the table hurled by one OF
the six girls on the landing.
j. Pvt. Garrett saw the lieu
tenantsstruck.
He swung around and ]
grabbed him because he looked
like he was going out cold" Pvt.
Garrett related. HE was bleed
Ing heavily. T IsWalked him out
of the building"
Pvt. Garrett, also unsuccessful
in storming the stairs amid the
hail of fire extinguishers, bottles,
chairs and tables, added:
II thought maybe we ought
to get a bomb or something. I
yelled for tear gas over the car
radio. I said we'd probably need
a little more help, too"
Inspector Bryant authorized
tear gas to be sent. Soon a scout
car arrived with 18 gas shells
and Is gas grenades from the
seventh precinct. Another car
containing gas ammunition and
members of the Police Civil Dis
turbance Squad stood by at the
precinct.
The girls were quieted by the
threat of tear gas.
After the riot, motorcycle pa
trolmen cruised the area until
the threat of further danger
abated. The six girls from the
farm cottage and the two origi-
nal troublemakers were placed
in detention cells overnight.

sVillainous Plan Thwarted.'
Leading military figures were
the first targets. said Tass, "but
arrest thwarted their villainous
plan and the criminals failed to
achieve their goal.
The nine doctors were identi-
fed as Profs. M. S. Vovsi,
v. N. Vinogradov, M. B. Hogan,
B. B. Hogan, p. I. Yegorov. A. 1.

Confessions" Reported.
The doctors, said the accounts,
confessed that in Zhdanov's case
they made an incorrect di-
agnoSiS Of his disease and,
concealing the miocardial in

prescribed a regime which was
contra-indicated for this serious
illness and thereby killed Com
rade A. A. Zhdanov." The Of
fetal announcement of Zhda-
nov's death had said that he died
of heart failure.
(Three of the accused doctors
were among the five physicians
who signed the official Soviet
medical report on Zhdanov's
death. They were Yegorov. de-
scribed in the medical report as
director of medical administra-
ton at the Kremlin; Vinogradov,
a member of the Academy of
Medical Sciences, and Mayorov,
physician emeritus of the Rus
sian Soviet Federated Socialist
Republic-the largest of the re-
publics making up the Soviet
Union.)
In the case of Scherbakov, Tass
added, the doctors incorrectly
applied strong medicines for his
treatment, introduced an expert
mental regime and thus caused
his death" At the time of his
death in 1945, it was announced
that he had died of paralysis
of the heart.

da declared that the exposure

BY J. [. MiehoeI
Sfar Sfcff Correspondent

| ANNAPOLIS. Jan. ia State
toxicologist and an itinerant
sawmill worker today bolstered
the States case against Air
Force Sergt. Homer A. Allison,
charged with numbering his
wife. Rosie Ann.
They testified before an all
male jury as the case of the
one time B-29 tail gunner en-
tered its second day in Anne
Arundel County Circuit Court.

A single strand of light brown
hair is similar in character" to
that Of Mrs. Allison" he said.
He added that hair cannot be
identified as coming from spe-
cific person and that he could
go no further than to say he
found no difference between the

tilted. "At first he said his wife
fell or jumped from the car.
Then he turned suddenly and
said, I'll tell you what happened.
We were going up the road. We
were fighting. I either pushed
or kicked her out of the car"
Miss Rose Ann McKenna, a
neighbor of the Allisons, testi-
fled that she and her sister, Mrs.
