Mr.. Darby, who said he was
one of the first on the scene,
said the big plane ripped a
hole in the ground and the main
section of the plane buried it
self in the hole-about 10 feet
deep and Is feet long.
Mr.. Darby said he saw the
plane shortly after it took off.
1T appeared to be headed south
and in his judgment was not
over 200 or 300 feet above the
ground when it turned back
toward the base.
He said there was ''backfir-

over Atlantic and suddenly sit
exploded in a great ball of fire. .
When he arrived at the field.
he said he cautioned Mr.. Hur-
ley and two others just arriving
not to go near the plane because
it might explode again. There
was another small explosion in
one of the wings. he said.
The aircraft, built by Lock-
heed, is a twin-engine, long

British Strike
Halted Pendinq
Wage Inquiry
Union Chiefs to Send
~ Million Workers
Back on Thursday

LONDON. April 2 (R.-Unior
bosses today called off costly
strikes in Britain's shipbuildine
yards and factories pending the
outcome of a government inquiry
into their pay demands.
The strikers-1ha million in
the factories and 100000 in the
were ordered to &C
back to work on Thursday.
The Confederation of Ship
building and Engineering Unions
made up of 40 unions, which has
been running the strikes, decided
to call them off after a recon-
mendation by its executive.
The decision was taken as the
walkouts threatened to cripple
Britain's automobile production
and factories producing 40 per
cent of the nations exports.
Inquiry Starts Tomorrow
The three-man court of in
quiry begins its work tomorrow.
The unions have demanded a 10
per cent wage increase. Last
week they offered to call off the
strikes for an interim increase of
5 per cent if the rest of their
demand was left to a commits
sion of inquiry. The government
asked them to go back to work
while the investigation is in
progress.
Factory owners have offered a
5 per cent INCREASE. Shipbuild-
ing employers are ready to give
a 5 per cent increase, but want
an agreement to freeze wages
for year.
The shipyard strike, startins
II days ago. has halted work BIZ
100000 men on 800 vessels. Fac.
tory workers began a SNOWFALL
walkout 10 days ago that pulled
Ia million men off their DN
in vital dollar-export industke:
and was due to spread to another
Ia million men by this week
end.
Liner Going to Port
The liner Queen Mary, which
terminated her last Atlantic run
at Cherbourg. France. because of
the strikes. was reported prepar-
ing to sail for Southampton.
Shipping sources in Cherbourg
said the suspension of the walk
outs would enable the liner to
pick up United States-bound
passengers in her home port.
The Cunard Line had launched
an $4,000 sea-and-air operation
to sail the big ship to New York
from France instead of South
ampton. More than 1000 Brit
ain-hound passengers from the
United States were ferried across
the Channel in the 1000 ton
Cunard ship Ivernia before the
suspension.
The Queen Mary's plight was
a byproduct of the strike wave.
Shipyard men at Southampton
claimed her annual repairs had
not been completed when they
struck and demanded that
Cunard hold her in port March
81. When government tugs were
used TO take the liner out, port
workers niacklisted the ship.

Lost Falls 6 Points
Recalled by Dulles
By EARL H. vOss

Egypt's new plan for operating
the SueZ Canal falls short Of
the six requirements she anc
the United Nations Security
Council accepted last October
Secretary Dulles charged today
The United States has made
suggestions to change Egypt's
draft plan, Mr.. Dulles said al
his news conference. and expects
I to know within "a to 48 hours
| if Egypt would seriously con-
slider modifying its new proposal.
The American view on the
Egyptian draft memorandum
was presented in Cairo Monday,
the Secretary disclosed.
/ The United States. however
has no intention Of bringing
pressure on Egypt by military
threats or boycott Of the canal
Mr.. Dulles advised reporters. He
noted that he had asserted last
year the United States had nc
intention of shooting its way
through the waterway. That re-
mains true today. he added.
Sees No Profit in Boycott
He noted that a boycott would
not be very profitable from the
standpoint of the boycotting ma
ltions.
/ The Secretary repeated his
hope that the operation of the
canal can be arranged in the
interests OF all, users and OPP
orators.
/ The Secretary avoided an op-
portunity to pledge the United
States against all kinds of sane
lions against Egypt but said the
initiative for imposing sanctions
should come from nations whose
economies depend on the canal,
The American economy does not.
] One Of the weaknesses of the
Egyptian proposal for operating
the canal. Mr.. Dulles said, is that
1t can be interpreted as a uni
lateral document by Egypt SUBJ
ject to unilateral Egyptian
change.
He was careful to add that hs
is not at all sure the Egyptians
did not intend their proposal tc
De internationally binding.
Could File With u. N.
Mr.. Dulles believes that with
some rather minor changes the
Egyptian proposal could be made
multilateral. One method. he
said, would be to file the docu.
ment with the United Nations

] While Israel has recently in,

passage through the Gulf O

still supports the principle O

According to Mr.. Beal's book,
which the State Department has
been at pains to declare ''unau-
thorized." this was the Dulles
point Of view at the time, he
pulled the rug out from under
Col, NasSer:
1T was necessary to call Rus
lsia's hand in the game of eco
monte :. competition :. Nasser
combined the right timing. the
right geography and the right
order OF magnitude for a truly
major gambit in the cold war"
Today. however, Mr.. Dulles
went to great lengths to show
that this decision had been
no calculated kick in the teeth
to Col NaSser. but instead the
result Of a variety OF diplomatic
considerations.
Puts Blame on Veto
| In the first place. he said was
the veto Of the Senate Appro-
priations Committee. Then there
was some question as to whether
a project Of such magnitude could
be carried out to mutual ad-
vantage. Then there was the
question Of how the Egyptian
people would take the austerity
program that would be imposed
on them as a result of such
| gigantic expenditures and the
consequent problem that We
might be disliked rather than
liked for having made the prof
ect possible.
And our support. Mr.. Dulles
said, to a country which had
been developing increasingly
friendly relationships with the
Soviet Union and had recently
recognized Red China. might be
interpreted by other nations as
meaning that those who played
both sides get better treatment
than our stalwart allies.
Finally, Mr.. Dulles said. there
was no doubt as to the propriety
OF our answer and the courteous
manner in which it was con-
veyed.
Reporters gave up after that
except for one who asked the
Secretary II he had anticipated
that as result of our withdrawal
from Aswan Col. Nasser would
seize the Suez Canal.
The Secretary said no.
