 She says that Les Bronson had taken off for Nome about an hour before the wind started, and a lucky thing it was too, because the plane could not have with stood the winds.

Four Polish
 Anti-COnlnunists Fly to Freedom

VIENNA, Austria, 1.-Two air planes, bearing four Polish anti Communists, landed in Austria Saturday after they had flown across Czechoslavakia on a twin dash from behind the iron curtain.
 The two flights were just a month after Polish workers made their bloodily suppressed revolt at the city of Poznan.
 Two Polish air cadets landed their little training plane, which they had stolen from an airport near Warsaw, at Oberbergern, near Krems, after running out of fuel.
 Shortly afterward, Austrian po- lice announced two other Poles crashed their plane in a forest near Kirchbert Am Wechsel near Neunkirch.
 One of the Poles was slightly injured. They said they had taken off in their Yat-18 plane from the Polish airport of Deblin Friday night.
 The two air cadets told Aus trian police they were fleeing from "unbearable living condi- tions' in their Communist home land and wanted political asylum in Austria.

l9 Teen-Age Mountain Climbers
 Fall Into Creyasse; Girl Suffocates

TIMBERLINE LODGE, Ore, R-A group of youthful moun- tain climbers, roped together for safety, was plunged to the bottom of a , rocky crevasse yesterday when two of their number lost their footing.
 One girl died and the others were injured, some of them ser iously, as the teen-agers were whipped, one after the other, over the brink on the slopes of Mount Hood.
 $ The accident occurred near the summit of the ll,235-foot peak in cascades some 50 miles east of Portland.
 Youngsters on a Tour
 The youngsters had come from eastern and midwestern states on a bike and train tour of the coun- try. They had climbed the peak and were on their way down when the mishap occurred at about 3.30 pm.
 Other climbers saw the acci- dent and brought word to the lodge here. Rescue crews were or ganized and worked through the night to bring the climbers and their leaders down.

Captain of Another Ship Says Stockholm Was Off Course When
 She Collided With Andrea Doria

NEW YORK, R-The logs of the liner Andrea Doria, which will be important in investiga- tions, were saved when the ship sank off Nantucket last Thursday, the Italian Line announced today.
 The logs constitute vital, hourly record of the ships course, communications and navigational conditions.
 A company spokesman said the logs were salvaged by Capt. Peiro Calamai, the ships master, who was the last man to leave her af- ter the collision with the Swedish liner Stockholm.
 The records were placed in the hands of the Italian consul general here. That office, in turn, disclosed it is dispatching the rec ords to the Italian government in Rome-probably by diplomatic pouch.
 Stockholm Off Course
 Meanwhile, another ship skip per, Capt. James W. La Belle, of the American export liner Inde- pendence, said that news reports
The Nome nugget., 1956-07-30

of where the crash occurred indi- cated the Stockholm was off her course. La Belle made the com ment in an interview when his ship arrived here from Europe today.
 rOne sailor does not criticize another sailor unless he is at the scene of action," La Belle said. All I know of the collision is what I have read, and if it is true that the Stockholm was 45 miles off Nantucket, then she was off course"
 This is the position given by the US. Coast Guard and others at the time of the disaster.
 36 Unaccounted For
 The number of persons still un- accounted for in the sinking was reduced further today-from 37 to 36. This is in addition to two listed as known dead and 18 miss ing and presumed dead.
 The deluxe liner carried 1,706 passengers and crewmen.
 Many of the 36 still unaccount-

burned. by the blast that shot an orange fireball thousands of feet high and scared everything in a quarter-mile radius. Only seven of the 3l remained on the serious list today. The others were dis charged from the hospital.
 Mortified spectators saw friends and relatives stumble, moaning and crying, their clothing afire, from the smoke and flames at the Shamrock Oil and Gas Corp. tank farm. Ensuing explosions burned and shattered three other big storage tanks and blackened oth- CTS nearby.
 "The fiery blast snuffed out their lives and they crumpled in their tracks," editor Bill Lask of the Moore County News said.
 His Back in Flames
 Bob Hamilton, a News reporter, said his hair almost caught fire 200 yards from the explosion. A shirtless boy stumbled out with his naked back in flames. He said the dead were caught in a pool of fire"
 Some of the burning bodies set fire to blankets used to wrap them. Other bodies exploded from internal steam pressure. A rail- road bridge burned quarter of a mile away.
 Bob Brewer, Shamrock public relations official, said the men were fighting small ground fire when the 20,000-barrel tank con- taining pentane, butane-like fuel, caught fire. Bremen who were attempting to cool other tanks were caught in the first ex- plosion at 6:53 am. Greater loss of life was averted because many of the men had backed away from the tank because of the intense heat.

British Exports Of War Materials To Egypt Stopped

LONDON, R-Prime Minister Eden announced today all exports of British war materials to Egypt have been stopped.
 Eden made the announcement in the House of Commons in an- swer to question from Laborite Bessie Braddock after he present ed a brief statement onsthe seeth- ing Suez situation.
 "All exports of war materials to Egypt have been stopped" he said.
 This brought loud cheers.
 He had summarized Britain's actions so far in retaliation to the Egyptian seizure of the Suez Ca nal, including the freezing of Egypt's sterling balance in Lon don. The Prime Minister told of talks with French and American officials and then said:
 No arrangements for the flu ture of this. great international waterway could be acceptable to Her Majesty's Government which would leave it in the unfettered control of a single power which could, as recent events have shown, exploit it purely for the purposes of national policy. :"

mont, NY, was dead by the time help arrived. She was suffocated when driven deep into the snow at the bottom of the 40-foot drop.
 Several others were injured critically and only two of the party of 19 were able to walk.
 The injured were carried down the slopes by litter and taken to Portland hospitals.
 Some of them lay for hours on the lip of the crevasse as doctors worked over them.
 Party Slid 100 Feet
 The youngsters slid a hundred or more feet down an icy chute., then were dashed into a jumbled pile at the bottom of the crevasse.
 One climber who saw them said they all were roped together, l9, on about 100 feet of rope, and suddenly two of those at the back of the line lost their footing.
 As they slid they whipped the others off their feet and all went plummeting into the crevasse.
 That was just before 4 p. m. Tom Pfau, 35, of Salem, Ore, who saw them fall, hurried to them. They were crying and moaning, he said, and all were hopelessly entangled in their rope. He cut the rope, pulled some from the pile, and then went down the mountain for help.
 Plasma Dropped
 Rescue efforts were organized swiftly. The US. Air Force sent plane to drop plasma and other medical supplies and the Royal Canadian Air Force sent heli- copter able to operate at high al titudes, to McChord AFB, Wash, to be ready for call.
 Ralph Wiese, a veteran forest ranger and mountain climber, led the first party to the scene. Noun taineers, hearing of the mishap, drove here in a steady stream and started up with stretchers and supplies.

Mckeon Defense Loses Bid for
 Innocent Verdict in Court-Martial

PARRIS ISLAND, s. C., R- The defense today lost its bid for a directed verdict of innocent in the court-martial of marine S. Sgt Matthew C. McKeon.
 Defense Attorney Emile Zola of New York City asked the court at the opening of it's third week of trial for innocent verdicts for the former drill instructor ac- cused of involuntary manslaught- CT in the drowning of six recruits, oppression of recruits, and drink ing in the presence of recruit.
 In a deliberate tone, the trial judge, Navy Capt. Irving N. Klein of New York City also, said, "The motion for a finding of not guilty is denied"
 Panel Agrees
 Technically, the seven man court-martial could have over ruled Klein by three-fourths vote. But in 8 member-by -mem- Der poll, the panel voiced ''no ob- jection."
 The only charge on which Der man did not make a motion for dismissal was that of possessing an alcoholic beverage in barracks.
 The first defense witness was S. Sgt. Elwyn Scarborough of Lynchburg, sc, a red-faced rifle instructor. Scarborough testified

Photographer Testifies


 Second witness for the defense was Warrant Officer Leslie E. Volle, of Chestnut, H., a blue eyed man with hair real carrot color. He is a Photographer and engineer.
 Volle said meticulous survey of the area indicated no holes in the marsh and creek bed where the six recruits drowned.
 Several members of the ill-fat- ed platoon had testified earlier that as they marched into the wa ter they dropped into holes.
 By reconstructing are baromet- ric pressure on the fatal night of April 8, Volle said he though the tide would have been lower than usual because of an off-shore breeze. He placed the high tide at around feet 3 inches but add ed it twas probably less"
 The government had contended earlier the tide crested that night at feet inches. The march took place two hours after high tide.
