5 Plane Crashes Take 50 Lives
tBY THE ASSOCIATED PRRssl

Three plane crashes, two in the southern United States and one in the sea off Italy, took the lives yesterday of 50 persons. There were no known survivors.
 Many of the victims were top figures in aviation and industry.
 The largest toll was in the plunge of a British Comet jet liner into the icy waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea, an arm of the Mediterranean. It was carrying 35 passengers and crew members as fishermen watched it dive into the water between the islands of Elba and Montecristo.
 Thomas Braniff, TO, founder of the airline bearing his name, and nine other wealthy businessmen were aboard a private plane that crashed and burned in swamp near Shreveport, La. The two pilots also died in the crash.
 In another crash yesterday, an Air Force BPS medium bomber plummeted into pasture about six miles from Gaffney, sc. The plane carrying crew of three, was on a training flight from Rome, N. Y., to Donaldson Air Force Base, sc.
 There were no reports of sur vivors in any of these crashes; but two pilots came out of a crash near Burbank, Calif., with cuts, burns and possible frac- lures.
 A third man was burned criti- cally when the plane, a converted tWo-engine bomber owned by the Fullerton Oil Co.,, smacked into. his apartment. The crash wrecked two residence buildings and two garages.

LEXINGTON, Miss, LR - Of ficers were Ion the move" at day break today to SCOUT five square mile area for a Negro who killed three men and wounded two others in a shooting spree that began Saturday night.

Reds Propose
 Reopeningg Korean Peace Conference

PANMUNJOM, R- The Com munists today proposed reopening of the broken off preliminary negotiations for a Korean peace conference.
 The Red move came as India officially requested that the JUN. Assembly reconvene in New York lat an early date" to discuss the Korean question.
 Indian officials insisted the ac- tion was not intended to delay freeing of some 22,5OO war p-i- soners. A spokesman said:
 That is a matter for the two commands to settle and as far as India is concerned, Jan. p is the deadline for their release under the agreement of those com mands."
 The first preliminary talks to set up a peace conference were broken off by US. special envoy Arthur Dean after six weeks of fruitless haggling. Dean said the Communists would have to with draw a charge of US. "perfidy" before he would come back. The talks themselves were begged down ove~ US. refusal of Red demands that Russia be invited as a neutral.
 Later, however, a high source in Korea said the United States might consider a direct Red move to get the talks going again as tantamount to withdrawal of the perfidy charge.

Ike Asks Revision I'll and Flexible
 Farm Program

WASHINGTON, R President Eisenhower recommended Mon day that $2,5OO, 100000 of present farm surpluses be frozen" from regular markets and that the gov ernment move into a flexible farm price support program.
 Eisenhower also sent the law makers a separate message asking revision of the Taft-Hartley Labor Law. A major point of his re- quest on this was for provision requiring a vote of workers be- fore a strike could be called .A He also called for thorough study" of union welfare and pension funds with a view of enacting such legislation as will protect and conserve these funds for the millions of working men and women who are beneficiaries"
 These two programs-farm and labor - affect the two largest groups of voters in the nation.
 As he did in his state of the union message last week, the President said a flexible price support plan must be the back bone of the new farm programs.
 Eisenhower also said special emphasis in the future must be placed on efforts to develop for eign markets for agriculture's greatly expanded productive capacity.
 Of the 14 amendments Presi- dent Eisenhower asked Congress to enact on the Taft-Hartley Law some were suggested by manage ment and some asked by labor.
 He reiterated his conviction the Taft-Hartley Act is sound legis- lation." But he said experiences gained during the seven years the law has been in effect, indicates that changes are needed ito re- inforce it's basic objectives."

Air Force Faces
 Shortage Of Crews For A-BOmb Planes

WASHINGTON, R-S Sen. Rus sell D-Ga) said today the Air Force faces serious shortage" of pilots and crews for A-bomb carrying planes because of Eisen- hover administration cutbacks in the defense budget.
 Russell, a member of the Armed Services Committee and one of the chief spokesmen for Senate Democrats on military matters, said in an interview he believes the administrations new defense program will close the gaps on combat plane building without too much loss of time in that particular.
 But there isn't any doubt that the reductions they made last year have caused a serious shortage of pilots and crews," the Georgia senator said. Sure, they've got a pilot for every plane, but the com mercial airlines have three crews for each plane.
 Tt takes a terrific amount of training for the super-sonic planes and particularly the long range bombers on which we are depend- ent to retaliate against the enemy if we are attacked"
 Russell said he doubts that the pilot shortage will be remedied under the new defense program.
 He said the Air Force had cut off 50,000 men in nine months, had "gutted" its reserve officer training program and had cut fly ing training 20 per cent.

Army Belatedly Confirms Million Dollar Fire At Ladd AFB On Dec. 29

ANCHORAGE, LR - Army au- thorities belatedly confirmed Sat urday that a December 29 fire at Ladd Air Force Base, near Fair banks, destroyed an estimated million dollars worth of ordnance material
 The confirmation from the Fort Richardson headquarters of the Army in Alaska came several days after interior Alaska newspapers printed unofficial reports that the fire had done million dollars worth of damage.
 The blaze destroyed a large ware house and storage building at the Ladd airbase.
 The Army said the exact amount of the loss would not be available until a military board completes it's investigation.
 Cause of the fire was not given
