George C. Wallace came aftel
former Gov. Chauncey Spark,

was "a typical case for the
INAACP."
Mr.. Sparks said the suit seek.

The judge put off further con-

Negroes names from the voting
list until next Wednesday. He

Courts Authority Questioned
Mr.. Sparks. speaking in behalf
of two of the Negro voters. raised
the objections during preliminary
arguments although his clients
were not named defendants in

Flying Boxcar
Crash ki||s4

MELVILLE. Pa, Oct. 81 (Pl.-
An Air Force Clio Flying Box
car slammed into a fog-capped
1000 foot rise of the Blue Noun
tain range in this central Penn
sylvania region last night, kill
ing its crew of four. One was a
flight nurse.
The bodies. buried under the
wreckage, were left for removal
after daybreak. Air Force au-
thorities, which said an inves-
tigation would be started to de-
termine the cause of the crash
withheld identification of the
dead pending notification of rel
ativeS.
The giant cargo plane bore
into the side of the mountain
in heavy rain while en- route
from Sewart Air Force Base near
Nashville. Tenn, to Olmsted Air
Force Base near Harrisburg,
Pa. 1t was three hours overdue
at the time of the crash.
The mountain is located in
Pennsylvania State game land,
seven miles from a residence
but about two miles from hunt
ing cabins.
A rescue party beat its way
through heavy underbrush and
up the wet mountainside to reach
the Wreckage. Witnesses said
there was evidence the plane
burned after the crash. They
ruled out the possibility of an
explosion and said the rain APP
parently had reduced the extent
of the fire.
A spokesman at the Olmsted
base said the plane was to have
picked up cargo and returned
to its base at Sewart. The Fly
ing Boxcar normally carries a
crew Of five. AS a troop trans
port 1t has a capacity of about
100 men.

They're a civilized, hard
working Western people," she
said. They're not stupid. They
couldn't be herded about like
cattle"
Mr.. and Mrs. Meyer now live
at 5000 Custer road, Bethesda,
Md. He is under treatment at
the Naval Medical Center.
Despite the resentment she
saw against the Communists,
Mrs. Meyer said she didn't ex-
Ipect it to erupt into open con-
If1ict, but they're a volatile peo-
pie"
They were about at the boil
ing point" she said. 1T was
always at the surface"
She believes the show of de-
If1ance in Poland was the match
that touched off the very short
fuse.
Her reason for surprise at the
revolt was from opinions ex-
pressed to her there about the
Poznan riots.
One man, a leader, said they
were foolish and would lead to
nothing" she said.
And she expressed the feeling
that, if they don't succeed now
it's the end for them"
She gave much of the credit
for keeping the feeling of indie
pendence alive in Hungary to
the Voice of America and Radio
Free Europe. which she said
served as a rallying point for all
the dissatisfaction. Another in
dication of their freedom loving
makeup, she said, was the pleas
ure they showed at meeting
Americans.
Il never had any trouble with
Hungarian officials--not any of
the people there" she said. LAS
soon as they found out you were
an American, they couldn't do
enough for you"
But she found the situation in
Budapest, where she spent most
of her time. depressing"
mo one was starving" she
said. But they earned very
little compared with our stand
ard of living. They were living
Iat subsistence level"
She said Budapest was a
"showplace. The windows were
full, if you could afford It," But
in other towns and cities, "the
windows were empty" she added.
She saw very few Russians
except officers-in Budapest, Mrs.
Meyer said.
They kept them in towns OF
the main routes" she said, but
their presence was always felt
by the people.
An example of the defiance Of
the Russians was shown one day.
she said. when she was passing
through town while the Rus
SLAMS were celebrating a national
holiday at one of their many
monuments to the "liberators"
of Hungary.

an eight-count Indictment, had

Admiral Burke told the 1000

II our Government is to have
the freedom of action it needs to

Increased Speed Cited
Admiral Burke said that. as
the Navy changes from oil to
nuclear power and from guns to

ordered. Attorney Myer Koonin
represented Mrs. Rettig on
appeal.
Yesterdays opinion marked
the second time in recent months

on such grounds. Several months

Niction of Clarence E. Watson,

reversed and a new trial ordered

In this case, also, the appellate
court held that Watson was not
arraigned in a reasonable time
and that an alleged confession
was the result of illegal detain-
ment.
In today's opinion the ma
jority. itself. was divided on the
exact grounds for reversal.
-Four of the judges agreed that
Mrs. Rettig's confession should
be excluded and that she be
given a new trial, generally on
the grounds that she was held
too long before arraignment and
that the confession was produced
during the detention. This was
the conclusion of Chief Judge
Henry w, Edgerton and Judges
David L. Bazelon. Charles Fahy
and George T. Washington.
Two other judges, John A.
Danaher and E. Barrett Pretty
man concurred but on different
grounds.
Conditions Defined
They held that illegal deten-
ton alone should not bar con-
LESSONS obtained during that
time. But, they found that Mrs.
Rettig'S confession was obtained
as a direct result of the circum-
stances OF her detention.
Dissenting were Judges Wilbur
K. Miller, Walter M. Bastian
and Warren E. Burger.
The minority opinion warned
against giving the public reason
to think convicted criminals are
being 'coddled."
Judge Bazelon, whose views
were shared by Judges Edgerton.
Fahy and Washington. pointed
out that Mrs. Rettig's alleged
confession was obtained 1872 to
1872 hours after her arrest.
Circumstances Cited
Mrs. Rettig was taken into
custody at 1880 am, October "a.
