62 Feared Dead
 in Disappearance Of Canada Plane

VANCOUVER, R-A Trans Canada Air Lines plane with 62 persons aboard disappeared last night in a violent windstorm over the forbidding Chilliwack area of southwestern British Columbia.
 Search leaders feared the worst commercial aviation disaster in Canadian history.
 Twelve Royal Canadian Air Force craft and six other planes took off at daybreak to search the area extending in all directions from Hore, 125 miles east of Van couver
 Squadron Leader c. l.. Shea han, RCAF searchmaster, said two radar stations had reported "fix- es" on an aircraft at 7:10 pm, minute after the last message from the airliner said it had passed Hope on its return toward Vancouver with one of its four engines gone.
 The searchmaster said the radar "fixes" showed the plane could be anywhere within 30 miles of Hope. Hope is at the western end of the Fraser Canyon in an area carved by canyons and gorges and with numerous lakes.
 A ground party set out from Chilliwack, 65 miles east of Van couver.
 The worst commercial air dis aster in Canada occurred on April 8, 1854, when an RCAF training plane crashed into an airliner in flight over Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, killing 37 persons.

Rocks would land with one wing on top of the auto.
 Rocks made several passes at the runway to gauge speed and distance. On the fourth pass, he set the planes left wheel on the runway and the right wing on top of the car. While Hornbaker drove, the cars other two occu- pants held the struts of the plane so it wouldn't slip off. Gently, Hornbaker applied the brakes and stopped.

NORFOLK, Va, R- After it was over, weekend pilot Manning Rocks could hardly believe it happened" And no wonder.
 Caught aloft in light plane with a damaged landing gear, Rocks had just brought his craft safely to earth by landing it with one wing atop moving auto mobile.
 It wasn't a lucky accident. It was planned that way, not by Rocks but by veteran flier Ed Hornbaker, from whose company Rocks had rented the plane.

Catholic Priest Dies In Trailer Fire at Sitka

SITKA, A 40-year-old Catho- lie priest visiting this small town to say weekend masses died early yesterday in a fire which broke out in the house trailer in which he was sleeping.
 He was the Rev. George A. Zelenak, a member of the Society of Jesus and former pastor of the Catholic parish at Sitka.
 The blaze apparently started near the living room section at the opposite end of the trailer. A small oil stove had been burning to heat the trailer against the zero temperature outside.
 Father Zelenak, native of Ta- coma, apparently was overcome by smoke and suffocated before he could escape thru door in the bedroom of the 35-foot trailer.

 Pravda published it in quotes in report on a speech by Soviet Communist leader Ekarterina Furtseva to Communist Party congress in Rome.
 The word discrimination was coined by Western reporters to describe the process of tearing down the late Joseph Stalin's reputation. The Soviet press usu- ally calls this elimination of the cult of personality"

State. whose As electoral votes
can swing D close presidential
election either way. for two
years has been sitting square,
ly in a strange political dead
center. So precariously perch
ed Is this grand prize that the
slightest Whit from the ever
variable winds Of politics could
topple it into the lap Of either
party.
Both parties claim the State
is theirs In 1856. Democrats
point with confidence TO the
fact that they won the gov
ernorship in 1854, ending IL
years Of Republican rule ct Al
bany. Republicans cite the
Eisenhower popularity. and
predict that the Empire State
win fall to any Republican
candidate-either Mr.. Essen
hover or someone else-who
ID pledged 10 carry out Mfr.
Eisenhower's policies which
have brought peace and pros
perity."
But the truth Of the mat
ter is. nobody can tell where
those As electoral votes are
going. because of the strange
way New York voters have
balloted in the last two cleo
tions-l954 and 1855.
Trend Just Isn't
Let's take a look at 1854.
With Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey, the States champion
Republican vote -getter, not on
the ballot. both parties went
after the governorship In ear
nest. It was a fighting cam
paign.
Gov. Dewey's old machine,
running Republican Senator
Irving NJ. Ives campaign for
Governor. used many Of the
tactics Gov. Dewey didn't use
in his ill-fated walk-eaSy cam
paign for the presidency In
l948. Senator Ives, moreover,
was an Eisenhower-type Re-
publican who made q power
full showing on the 1852 ticket
as candidate for Senator.
Democrats put UP Averell
Hartman. ex-diplomat and
former cabinet officer under
President Truman. In addi-
ton, they put Representative
Franklin D. Roosevelt, jr., on
their ticket as candidate for
State attorney general.
More than 3 million voters
went to the polls in New York
on November 2, 1854.
Result: Hartman $780,
1888; Ives-2.549,6l3.
Mr.. Hartman won by the
smallest plurality ever recorded
In New York history, 1l,125
votes. two-tenths Of / per cent
Of the vote cast. And the once
magic name Of Roosevelt was
the only one on the Democratic
State ticket to 60 down to
defeat! Democrats won the
State administration - but
could a victory on that scale
be called a Democratic trend?
Look next at 1855.
Local elections were held
across New York State, with
major interest conferred in So
cities and 81 counties outside
of the New York City metro
