Airline Passenger Disappears as Myterious Explosion Blasts Huge
 Hole in Plane at 10000 Feet

LOS ANGELES, R-A myster- ious explosion near the washroom of an airliner where a passenger had fingered unusually long yes terday blew the passenger to his death 10000 feet over California's 5 Mojave Desert.
 The plane, a gaping hole in it's side, landed safely. Its 12 other passengers and crew of three were unhurt.
 The missing passenger, a San Fernando Valley jeweler who sold out recently, boarded the Los Angeles bound, twin-e engine Convair 240 at Las Vegas, where he had flown Wednesday night.
 Western Airlines, which oper- ated the craft, said the man took out a $125,000 round trip insur- ance policy before leaving for Las Vegas.
 Not long after the craft was airborne, he went to the wash room at the rear of the plane. He fingered so long that one passen- ger was on the verge of calling the stewardess when the ship was shaken by a blast that tore a 4x7 foot hole in its right side opposite the Washroom.
 The passenger was s. F. Bin stock, 62, of North Hollywood, Calif.. No trace of him has been found.
 The plane made a safe emer- gency landing at George AFB near Victorville in the Mojave Desert 60 miles east of Los An geles.
 Western Airlines officials ex- pressed bafflement at the blast Altho they are operating on the theory that the blast was caused

Dr. Adams Pleads Guilty to Charges; Fined S6,58O

LEWIS, England, R-Dr. John Bodkin Adams was fined 2,35O pounds ($6,58O for violating laws covering larceny. cremation, for gery and dangerous drugs. He pleaded builty to IA of 16 charges against him.

SOutherners Set For Filibuster
 On Civil Rights

WASHINGTON. R-Sen. Rus sell O-G0 said today southern senators will use ''every weapon in our arsenal to defeat the civil rights bill unless jury trial amendment is adopted.
 His unmistakable notice of a filibuster-altho he didn't use the word-was sounded after Presi- dent Eisenhower sent word to Re- publican senators he opposes this or any other major change in the bills section on voting rights.
 The Administration measure al- ready has been stripped by a 52- 30 Senate vote of a section to en- power the attorney general to seek federal court injunctions to enforce civil rights other than voting privileges.
 The big issue now, as the Sen ate hears the end of third week of debate on the House-passed bill, is whether to require jury trials in some contempt of court cases arising from the enforce ment of voting rights under an- other section of the legislation.
 Russell, leader of the Dixie forces fighting the bill, said after a conference in his office that the southerners would support a jury trial amendment more limited in scope than they would like.
 He said the southerners believe jury trials should be provided in all contempt cases arising under the legislation. But he added that, as "practioal men," they realize that an amendment limiting jury trials to cases involving criminal penalties has "wider support"

by some explosive, they said there were no fuel lines or tanks or ex- plosives of any kind near the washroom.
 The FBI was called into the case at once and questioned pas sengers and crew at the airbase. The passenger were brought by but to Los Angeles.
 Western said Binstock was one of a group of five who went on a pedagogical evening in Las Ve- gas"' flight Wednesday night.
 It was not established whether Binstock knew the other four. He and the others had ticket books with coupons for dinner, cham pagne, and so forth.
 Western said that at midnight Binstock appeared at the Las Ve- gas Airport and tossed his coupon book, unused, at a ticket agent, saying:
 Here, maybe you can use these"

mobile carrier force. Instead OF
maintaining a widely dispersed
conventional fleet. the new units
can be poised at strategic points

Britain Drops Big Ships
For Fast Carrier Force

LONDON. April Is tPl-The
Royal Navy is to be reshuffled
into tight task force groups with
nuclear punch. spearheaded by
a supersonic bomber carrying an
atom bomb. Battleships and
cruisers are dead.
This new pattern of the
nuclear age navy was disclosed
today by the First Lord of the
Admiralty. Lord Selkirk. in a
memorandum to the Admiralty's
estimates for 1957-l958 spend
ing.
The new look. with its en-
phasis on manpower reduction
and greater firepower. had been
foreshadowed in a revolutionary,
five-year defense program out
lined earlier this month by De-
fensea Minister Ducanan Sandys.
Battleships are out ip the new
scheme. Four of these big ships,
which formed the backbone of
the World War II feet. are to
be scrapped. In their place will
be modernized and re-equipped
aircraft carriers forming the
core Of the highly mobile at
tack groups.
