GIANT B-52 BOMBER CRASHES:
 EIGHT MEN DIE, ONE SURVIVES

q SPOKANE, Wash, M-Eight men, including the wing com mander, died in the spectacular crash of giant B-52 bomber just at sunset yesterday, but the tail gunner miraculously escaped.
 The plane, loaded with jet fuel for it's eight engines, was strug- gling for altitude on takeoff. Then the nose seemed to go straight up, the bomber tipped over on it's right wing and crashed to earth.
 Exploding jet fuel sent up a towering mushroom-shaped col umn of smoke.
 The Air Force declined to say if an atom bomb was aboard the plane. The Strategic Air Com mand has said some of it's heavy bombers carry nuclear weapons on training mission but that there is no chance they could explode in a crash.
 The sole survivor, Sgt. Gene l. Grave of Augusta. Kan, said he didn't know how he escaped but was lucky to be alive"
 He was, treated in hospital for minor cuts and bruises.
 Col. Clarence A. Nicely, AZ, of Sioux City, Iowa, and Rockford. H., was one of the victims. Ironically, it was Col. Nicely who flew the first B-52 to Fair child earlier this year when the base switched from the 1O-en- gined B-36 bombers to all-je1 Stratofortress, a $9.OOO,OOO giant

Israel Backs Away
On Suez Test-Ship

JERUSALEM. Israeli Sector
May q @.-Israel appears to
be backing away from a plan to
send a test ship through the
Suez Canal.
Foreign Ministry spokesman
Moshe Leshem said last night
in response to persistent uues-
tioning by newsmen that nc
government decision has been
taken yet on a date for the test.
He told his news conference
there are many factors to be
considered. including the attitude
OF maritime powers on use Of
the canal.
There was mounting belief
among foreign newsmen and
other foreigners that Israel is de-
laying the test voyage indefin-
itely or even abandoning the
idea.
The government is reported
having second thoughts lest the
United States Withhold financial
aid. Precipitate action also
might hurt Israel's fund raising
in the United States and else
where.
Government officials are now
talking about a gradual approach
TO testing Egypt's ban Of Israel

Strict Labor Fund
Bill Is Presented
5-Yeor Term,
FineAsked
For Stealing

The Eisenhower Administra-
ton presents to Congress today Q
tougher bill to protect labor
welfare pension systems BY
making it Federal offense. sub.
ject to criminal penalties up to
five years imprisonment and a
$1,000 fine, for stealing such
funds or destroying or falsifying
records.
Secretary of Labor Mitchell
said in prepared testimony for
a Senate Labor Subcommittee
hearing that recent disclosures Of
abuse or misuse of union funds
caused the administration to stiff
fen and strengthen its original
proposals on the same subject.
Senator Douglas. Democrat Of
Illinois, sponsor of another bill,
welcomed the new recommends
tons as a considerable improve
ment. He had criticized the
earlier version as "a toothless
cripple" Both the administra-
ton and the Douglas bills would
apply to union as well as man
agement-operated funds.
Would Ask Annual ADULTS
Besides establishing a maxi.
mum penalty of five years in
prison and a $1,000 fine for any
one convicted of embezzling such
funds or destroying or otherwise
tampering with fund records, the
administration bill also would:
Require annual audits and
registration with the Labor De-
partment Of all such funds on
which tax exemptions or deduc.
tons are allowed under Federal
laws.
Provide similar procedures for
plans covering employees in any
Industry affecting interstate
commerce.
Empower the Secretary of La.
Dor to conduct his own investiga-
tons and subpoena witnesses
and documents.
Direct the Secretary of Labor
to make public the material filed
with him and to make regula-
tons for such publication. The
original bill would have given
the Secretary discretionary au-
thority. The previous bill also
would have given the Secretary
discretion to exempt any type Of
welfare or pension plan from
filing and reporting require
ments. The new bill would treat
all plans alike.
Protection for Workers
There is good reason why at
this time all plans should reg.

.Adenauer Sees
Dulles in Talk
Secretary Confers
With Bonn Leader
BY the Associated Press

Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
of West Germany. today began a
far-ranging review of interna-
tional problems with Secretary
of State Dulles and top leaders
of the Eisenhower administra-
ton.
The formal German-American
talks got underway at the State
Department after Mr.. Dulles,
smiling broadly. greeted the 81
|year-old German leader in the
diplomatic reception room.
Germany's position in any
East-West disarmament plan
appeared certain to figure prom
inently in the discussions. But
there was also advance indica-
ton that reunification of divided
Germany would come under in
tensive review along with the
pace Of West German rearma-
ment.
The Dulles-Adenauer meeting
came as a swift followup to in
formal talks Mr.. Adenauer had
yesterday with President Eisen-
hover at the Chief Executives
Gettysburg. Pa. farm. Disarma-
ment also repeatedly was the
leading problem discussed at the
observation-disclosures meeting.
Five Advisers Accompany
Mr.. Adenauer was accom-
panied to the State Department
by five advisers including For
eign Minister Heinrich Won
Brentano.
Joining in welcoming Mr.. Ade-
nauer were David Bruce, Amer
lean Ambassador to West Ger
many, and nearly q dozen other
State Department officials.
A second formal Dulles-Ade-
nauer meeting was scheduled for
the afternoon. after a White
House luncheon with Mr.. Eisen-
hover.
Mr.. Eisenhower and Mr.. Dulles
were known to be eager to assure
Mr.. Adenauer that his govern
ment's views would be fully
taken into account in any East
West disarmament plan.
It seemed quite likely that Mr..
Eisenhower gave Mr.. Adenauer
an advance look yesterday at the
new arms reduction proposal
which will be made to Russia in
five-power talks reopening in
London today.
Many Pictures Taken
Mr.. Eisenhower, dressed in
sports clothes. and Mr.. Adenauer
in a conservative black suit,
opened their talks yesterday
with an informal review OF East
West problems at the Presidents

The White House encouraged

Leaders on Hand as
Code Hearings Open
By GEORGE REYERInGE

The new Washington coming
proposals Of Consultant Harold
M. Lewis were strongly supported
and roundly attacked as ex-
pected as the District Zoning
Commission today opened public
hearings on the controversial
revision.
About 100 civic and business
leaders turned up at the District
Building for the hearings, which
may last two weeks, on a code
to control all future building in
Washington.
Testimony ranged from in
dorsement Of virtually all Mr..
Lewis proposals to charges that
they are $50 basically wrong they
should be rewritten completely.
Middle Ground Report
A middle ground was reached
by the Districts official Zoning
Advisory Council three-mem-
Der technical staff group includ-
ing Robert o. Clouser. District
coming ofncer; John Nolen, jr.,
director. National Capital Plan
ming Commission. and Assistant
District Engineer Commissioner
Thomas B. Hunter.
The council. in a report COM
pleted over the week end, said
Mr.. Lewis report provides "a
sound basis" for a new coming
code. At the same time, how
ever. it sharply criticized many
of Mr.. Lewis's specific proposals,
said further study is needed on
some Of them and recommended
q number of changes.
The Lewis report makes vast
changes in the way land is zoned
for development, cutting about
in half. for example, the land
area that permits big apart
ments. 1t also sets more rigid
control on the size and type
Of most new buildings.
Key Recommendations
Generally, the advisory council
recommended changes to reduce
the degree of MIR. Lewis restric-
tons rather than disagree basil
cally with his ideas. In two key
recommendations. it:
/. Recommended the commits
sion consider elimination of re-
quirements that new stores and
Office buildings in the downtown

provide off-street parking spaces.

than Mr.. Lewis proposed.
