Secretary Dulles said advisers
OF the King and President would

aspects of our relations.
In the Arab Tradition
This implied that the talks so
far have been in the Arab tradi-

allties and only now getting down
to hard bargaining in which
heads of state do not participate.
King Saud's press chief. Sheik
Abdullah Balkhair. indicated
that the anticipated agreement
on renewing the United States
lease of Dhahran air base is
linked to arms supplies for the
Saudi army. He said:
During the period OF the next
few days detailed discussions will
be held between Saudi Arabian
and United States officials with
respect to such matters as the
Dhahran airfield agreement and

They will also continue dis

held next week. Secretary Dulles

negotiations had gone well.
Secretary Dulles told newsmen

This was borne out by his
optimistic comment that he
hoped for a firm agreement
on Dhahran as early as next
week. Before the King arrived
State Department officials said
they hoped for no more than a

Dunn 10 Push
Works Program
Larger Federal
Payment Sought
BY JAMES G. DEANE

The head of a new citizens
committee named to review the
Districts public works program
said today he hopes for an OPEN
minded approach to the problem
of the programs financing.
Richard P. Dunn, chairman Of
the l5-member committee named
by the Commissioners yesterday
said a fresh look at the city's
whole construction situation is
needed. including proposals fol
borrowing.
The new chairman also
strongly supported the idea O!
seeking a f1rmer-and more gen.
erous-basis for the Federal pay
ment.
THE Federal payment should
be bigger and should be on some
contractual basis he declared.
We should know what we can
expect so we can plan ahead"
Mr.. Dunn. who is head of
Julius Garflnckel g. Co.. and Ia
other prominent citizens have
been handed the job Of reviewing
the Districts four-year -old S305
million list of works projects,
revamping it and figuring out
way to finance the result.
Meets Next Week
Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Lane,
Engineer Commissioner. said yes
terday he thinks the committees
job might take two or three
months. Mr.. Dunn said he ex-
poets to call the first meeting
Of his group next week.
The financial problem is the
nub Of the whole matter. Gen.
Lane, in a memorandum yes
terday. declared the city is
falling behind in its public con-
struction because of a lack OF
funds. He also noted that new
needs are arising.
The Engineer Commissioner
especially singled out imitation
and the failure of Congress to
live up to its own Federal pay
ment authorizations as causes
of the present financial plight
Initiation alone. he reported
has increased the cost of the
existing public building program
the portion of the works pro-
gram financed out of the city's
general fund-by SO million. OF
l7l2 per cent. He also pointed
out that the city would have
received virtually this exact
amount if Congress had kept
the Federal payment up to the
level envisaged when the pres
ent program was adopted.
No Financing Proposed
The Commissioners did not
make any recommendations tc
the new committee as to what
I financing measures might be
preferable.
School authorities have asked
for a new five-year, 500 million
borrowing plan, and the city
heads asked that borrowing be
considered. But they also asked
for study of the Federal pay
ment and Of the citys genera
taxation.
In addition, the new group
will be asked to set up standard:
tor determining the citys build.
ing needs, and to look intC
operating costs.
One area where the Standard
question doubtless will figur'
heavily is schools. Gen. LAM
said he felt the committee SHOULD
determine, as one example

but said the U. N. also must
take positive action to make sure
that the old conditions are not
restored.
One way to do this, he said,
would be to move in U. N. forces
along the border after Israel
withdraws.
Mr.. Lodge told the 89-nation
General Assembly that he saw
encouraging signs" that Egypt
and Israel were ready to agree
to measures TO ease tension.
The United States delegate
spoke after a Soviet bloc spokes-
man had blasted as illegal the
seven-nation plan to use U. N.
forces. Mr., Lodge insisted that
the two-part plan be considered
as a unit and that the two reso-
iutions be voted on one after
the other.

Force should be stationed at the

He said the force also should

Moenuson to Ask Tightening Of CAB
Flight Regulations. Poee A-3
contemplating reaching balmy
Miami in few hours, Numbered
to earth moments after taking
of from LaGuardia airport in
a swirling snowstorm.
OF the others aboard, 81 were
taken to hospitals, and some of
the other 10 went home after
being attended for injuries. The
remainder emerged unscathed.
1t seemed that only a miracle
prevented all from perishing.
Had the giant craft gone down
anywhere else in the vicinity, /.
would have dropped into this
East River or heavily populated
residential areas.
Hits Open Spot
1t smashed into an open spot
on tiny Rikers Island, situated
in the river between New York's
boroughs of Queens and the
Bronx. The island is about
three-quarters of a mile from
LaGuardia and the city peni-
tertiary is located on it. Prison
inmates did heroic rescue work.
Bodies of the 20 dead were
taken to the Bellevue Hospital
morgue in Manhattan early this
morning. Police said identifica-
ton could be made only from
,jewelry. dental plates and de-
scriptions supplied by grieving
relatives.
Meanwhile. six separate in
vestigations were under way in
an effort to pinpoint the cause
of the crash.
Taking part in the probes of
the Nations worst commercial
air disaster of 1857 were North
east Airlines. the Civil Aeronau-
tics Administration, the Civil
iAeronautics Board, the New
York City police and fire depart
mentS and the Bronx district at
torney's Office. in whose territory
Rikers Island lies.
Representatives of both the
CAA and CAB spent several
hours at the crash scene last
night and continued their in
vestigations today.
FBI Offer Accepted
/. New York police early today
accepted the offer of FBI Chief
j. Edgar Hoover to join the
,mushrooming investigation into
the air tragedy.
Mr.. Hoover, according to Dep.
uty Commissioner Walter Arm.
Offered the Federal agency's
assistance in a telephone call to
Police Commissioner Stephen P.
Kennedy. Mr.. Arm said Com
missioner Kennedy promptly
accepted the offer.
Meanwhile. George Gardner,
Northeast Airline president, was
en- route from Boston to open an
investigation. He said in state
ment:
I'VE are all deeply shocked.
Our first concern is with the
survivors and relatives. We are
starting an immediate investiga-
ton"
The siX-member crew of the
plane survived. The pilot and
co-pilot said they believed the
craft struck a pole on Rikers
Island.
Alcohol Might Have Ignited
A theory also expressed by
others was that exhaust from
one of the engines might have
ignited alcohol used before the
take-off to remove ice coating
the planes wings.
The fight had been scheduled
to leave LaGuardia at 2;45 pm.
There was a long delay because
of the snowstorm, which off,
cially totaled more than 5 inches
but reached greater depths in
some places. The plane. a DC-6A
authorized to carry around 100
persons. was trundled back into
a hangar to de-ice the wings.

records. the plane was cleared
