Crash Report

The Air Line Dispatchers
Association, AFL-CIO, said yes
terday it will file an objection
with the Civil Aeronautics
Board on conclusions reached
by the board regarding the
cause of a Capital Airlines
Vlscount crash near Chase,
Md, last May.
The CAB said last week that
severe turbulence the planes
pilot was trying to evade prob
ably caused the crash. The
four-engine turboprop airliner
disintegrated at about 5000
feet, killing all 81 persons on
board.
Capital dispatchers we're crit
icized in the CAB report for
what the board said was failure
to radio revised weather data
to the crew during the flight.
Robert E. Commerce. presi-
dent of the dispatchers' asso-
citation, said 1--WE firmly be-
lieve that the evidence and
testimony do not support the
boards contention that the
decision Of the dispatchers not
to give a Weather Bureau adj
visory to the trip was pertinent
to the accident"

He prided himself as a must

at private parties he squatted

Laotian pipes. Frequently he
shed his spectacles and padded

BY the Associated Press

The Defense Department to.
day announced the elimination
Of one of five squadrons Of
Thor intermediate ballistic mis-
siles originally scheduled fol
bases in Europe.
The United Kingdom has
agreed to take four squadrons
each containing Is of the
1.500-mile-range weapons Ca
pable of carrying a hydrogen
warhead. Delivery of the mis-
siles to the British is nearly
completed and all of the bases
in the British Isles are expect
ed to be ready for operation
next spring.
In announcing the cutback
the Pentagon said only that
"the reduced requirement for
the Thor represents an ad-
justment of programs that as
sures a balanced use of avail
able resources.
The reluctance of some of the
Western allies to have nnclear
weapons based on their soil and
the high cost of construction
bases and extensive supporting
equipment were understood in
official quarters to have prompt
ed the cutback.
The plan to equip three
squadrons Of Jupiter inter-
mediate missiles in Europe is
unchanged.
Two Jupiter missile squadrons
will go to italy under an agree
ment announced last March Is
Squadron to Turkey
The remaining squadron OF
Jupiters, the Army-developed
rival to the Air Force Thor, is
scheduled to go to Turkey. De-
tails of the arrangement are
currently being worked out.
Only the four Thor squad
rons were ever scheduled for
Britain. The fifth, now can
celed, could have gone else

Senior Monarch Dies;
Loos King Since 1904

kUANG PRABANG. Laos. Oct,
% (AP).-King Sisavang Wong
OF Laos. the worlds senior mon
arch. died last night during a
lull In his tiny Indo-China
Kingdoms fight for survival
against the threat Of Commu-
mist rebels.
The 74-year-old King passed
away in his red-roofed, gold
spired palace on the Mekong
River, where he had lain for
FIVE years, bedridden with rheu-
matism and neck cancer.
Crown Prince Savang Va
thana, appointed regent by his
ailing father two months ago,
becomes ruler of the revolt
torn land of million elephants
and the white parasol.
The Paris-educated 52-year-
old Prince has already been
acting as commander in chief
of the $4,000 man. United
States equipped Laotian army
in the campaign to crush a Red
revolt.
Prince Savang has visited
America twice. In 1852 he led
the Laotian delegation at the
San Francisco Conference to
sign the peace treaty with
Japan, and three years ago he
made a state visit to America.
His father, a direct descend
ant of the l.000-year-old Khoun
10 dynasty of South China,
was ardently pro-French, He
was born on Frances national
holiday. July IA, 1885, was
educated at the French Colonial
College in Paris, and in 1904
assembled the throne.
Stronger Role Expected
With France controlling his
domain as a protectorate, Sis
avang's monarchy was largely a
decorative institution. In 1947.
at French prodding, he pro-
mulgated a constitution making
Laos a constitutional monarchy,
and in 1949 France recognized
Laotian independence.
Savang as King will prob
ably play a much stronger role
in the government of Laos than
his father did. Last week the
nations acting Foreign Min
lister said a new constitution
would be submitted to the ma

u. S. Cuts Thor Unit
Scheduled for Europe

for eight squadrons of 1900
mile-range ballistic missiles,
and Secretary of Defense Nc
Elroy said in January that the
schedule could be increased to
10 if certain Western allies de-
cided promptly they wanted the
missiles.
West Germany promptly de-
clined~ to take any United
States ballistic missiles and
France since the start of Pres
ident Charles de Gaulle'S adj
ministration has refused to ac-
cept American nuclear weap-
ons without full assurance of
French control over their use.
Under British Control
The Thors in Britain are
under Royal Air Force COM
mand and overall British con-
troll. The Jupiters in Italy will
come under an Italian COM
mand but the Italian COM
mander will be responsible for
their use to the NATO supreme
commander, now United States
Air Force Gen Lauris Norstad.
The chain of authority for
the Jupiter squadron expected
to go to Turkey has yet to be
worked out.
It has cost the United States
about 50 billion to develop and
build the Thors and Jupiters.
Direct production cost of a
single missile is now placed at
slightly under 81 million, but
base and support costs are
many times greater.
The Defense Department said
that the Thor production
schedule schedule by the Doug
las Aircraft Co. is being cut
back Immediately to meet the
lower requirement.

Wife Says No
Race Issue In
Ambush Staying
Shooting Of Cafe
Owner Still Under
Investigation

Centerville, Miss, Aug. "a. -
The widow Of a Negro business
man mysteriously shot in ambush
q week ago Friday night said to-
day she did not believe the race
issue was involved in her hus-
bands death.
Samuel C. O'Quinn, SO, a cafe
owner and undertaken, was killed
by two blasts of a shotgun as he
opened the gate to his farm home,
five miles south of here, his wife
told officers. She was sitting in
the car nearby and did not see
who fired the blasts.
Sheriff j. 7. Falkenheimer said
today the case was under investi-
cation but no clues had been turned
up as to who fired the shots.
In McComb, the Enterprise
Journal said it had learned that
a white businessman in Wilkinson
County had received a letter one
month ago purportedly written by
a local Negro threatening to kill
O'Quinn because of his alleged ac-
tivities in the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People. The writer said the letter
was sent because white people
might be blamed" for O'Quinn's
death
O'Quinn's wife, mother of II
children, said her husband had
never belonged to the NAACP.
She said she knew nothing about
threats on her husbands life and
she could not imagine who would
kill him.
"He belonged to the Methodist
Church and the Masonic Lodge"
she said, "but that was ALL"
Falkenheimer, asked about the
letter, said there had been "a lot
of rumors about the case" but so
far he had little to &c on toward
solving it or establishing a mo-
tive.

This possibility is being ex-

A 12-year-old Arlington boy
apparently overcome while ex-

pulled out yesterday by a 16-
year-old Washington-Lee High
School student.

appeared to have suffered no
i'll effects, his mother said.
Donald, a student at Tucka-
hoe Elementary School, and
some other children were play
ing near the school and decided
to explore the storm sewer
which empties just behind the
school, Mrs. Daggitt said. The
sewer is big enough for a child
to walk in if he crouches, she
said.
When Donald was about $50
feet inside the sewer and ap-
peared to be overcome, the
other boys ran to get help.
Donald was brought out by
Douglas Kritzer, son of Mr..
and Mrs. James B. Kritzer, 2816

Donald was given oxygen by
