Atlantic Crash of 3 Jets
 Puzzles Air Force

MYRTLE BEACH, s. C., R - Three F-1OO Super Sabre jet planes hurled into the Atlantic Ocean off the South Carolina coast before daylight today, apparently killing all three pilots.
 Searchers spotted wreckage and oil slicks, but officers at Myrtle Beach Air Force Base had no ready explanation for the cause of the crash. Observers said they saw no collision.
 The three planes, part of a night navigational and refueling training flight, had rendezvous over the ocean with a fuel tanker plane Another pilot on the mission reported seeing the three jets de scending rapidly in a turn imme- diately prior to hitting the surface of the ocean,"
 The ceiling at the time of the crash was reported as 3,900 feet broken. This is a little better fly ing condition than overcast. Visi- ,bility was miles, winds moderate and no rain or fog.

Capital Airlines Suffers Two Passenger
 Plane Tragedies in Hour on East Coast

BALTIMORE, R - A Capital Airlines Viscount turboprop air liner, flying nonstop from New York to Atlanta, blew apart in storm-swept skies over Maryland late Tuesday, spraying wreckage and the bodies of 27 passengers and four crewmen over two mile area.
 Civil Aeronautics Board inves- tigators, probing through the twisted fragments, said at noon to- day that the plane was blown apart by forceful explosion. But Speculation whether the explosion was inside the fuselage or out side, possibly in wing, would be premature.
 Less than an hour before, an- other Capital Airliner, Four engine Constellation, plunged over a 200-foot embankment at the Charleston, w. Va, airport and burst into flames, killing two persons and injuring at least six.
 One official at the Civil Aero nautics Board said it was the first time in his memory that a single airline had had two fatal crashes in one day.
 The Constellation crashed at Charleston at 4:26 pm. The Wis count tore apart at 5:18 pm. while flying at about 14,OO0 feet 15 miles east of Baltimore.
 No one saw the plane the instant it disintegrated with fiery flash nm the sky was covered with low scudding rainclouds. But aviation engineers and others speculated that a sudden, violent downdraft or updraft tore off part of wing, rupturing fuel line which speWed kerosene fuel into an en- zine. The gas apparently ignited with a roar, tearing the plane to pieces.
 The Viscount is powered by four turbojet engines, which turn a propeller shaft and a conven- tional propeller.
 The fields were being combed by scores of CAB. investigators and other officials for clues as to. what actually happened.
 A Capital official in Washington said that while there was no indi- cation of bomb explosion aboard, the possibility would be checked out
 At Charleston, w. Va, rain was falling slightly when the big Con- stellation came in for a landing. The plane seemed to turn before tt slowed down, witnesses said, and it tumbled of the brink of the hill. Then it burst into flames.

Eisenhower Hopes Russia Will Quit Furtive Tactics

WASHINGTON, LR - President Eisenhower said today the Soviet Unlon seems to be pushing a prop agands drive in seeking admit tance of ked satellite nations to the Geneva foreign ministers con- ference.
 Eisenhower told a news con- ference he is very hopeful the Russians will abandon any such propaganda tactics so the confer ence can get down to fruitful ne gotiations.
 Eisenhower had been asked to evaluate the Soviet efforts thus far to win seats at Geneva for Communist East Germany, Poland and Czechoslovakia. These efforts have kept the foreign ministers conference from getting to discus sion of real problems.
 Eisenhower replied it is very diff ficult to find out what is going on behind someone else's forehead.
 During the news conference, the President discussed these other matters:
 Appointees-For the third week in a row, Eisenhower pictured himself as rather baffled as to why the Senate is delaying confirma- ton of some of his key nominees or federal posts.
 He made that remark when asked whether he thought the op- position in the Senate, mainly among Democrats, is assuming some sort of pattern.
 Spending - Eisenhower enthu- siastically welcomed question as to whether he has less concern now than earlier in the year about what he has termed reckless spending proposals in Congress.
 Making it clear he still wants the budget balanced, Eisenhower said the country is in the midst of business upturn and the na- ton ought to be trying to build up surpluses and reduce the national debt He labeled as unconscionable the fact that interest alone on that debt totals eight billion dollars annually.
 Missiles - As for complaints that money is being wasted in de- velopment of duplicate missiles, Eisenhower said need to avoid any waste in such areas is one of the most critical concerns of everyone in the administration.

Dr. FIemming Offers

Arthur S. F1emming lives in Bethesda, has
two sons attending Bethesda Chevy Chase

that he happens to be the Secretary Of Health,

Well, maybe Mr.. Fleming can't see why.

What has the cabinet officer puzzled is why the Fed

He can't why such counties Montgomery shouldn't

include taxes paid by Federal workers in their homes And
shouldn't this suffice?
At first blush it would the gentleman has good
point. But what he fails to is this: ~ Uncle Sam

Secretary F1ernming makes quite point of saying
he pays taxes to Montgomery County but he should
realize that the amount he pays is enough deray

county resident.
We submit that when Uncle Sam is directly respon-
sibe for large percentage of community schools popu-
laon and also follows the practice of removing large
land from the tax rolls that would otherwise produce
revenue he has very real obligation to help pay for the
schools.

this criticism might affect the future course

No one is politically naive enough to be
heve that Mr.. Scull or any other Republican

little bit However, COP leaders In the State

BY pointing out constructive methods of i'm.

For instance Mr.. Scull might have
pointed out an intelligent method Mr.. Tawes
c0uio nave used in fulfilling his promise Of
pay increase for school teachers. Perhaps.
Republican leaders do not believe a feasible
plan could have been worked out during the
iate session OF the Assembly. II so. they
should say so. COP candidate for Governor
James Patrick Devereux told the people Of
Maryland that teachers pay increase could
moi De erected unless the money was pro
Moeo. And this would mean a tax increase.
MT. DeVereux also said that Mr.. Tawes was
making wild promises without any idea of
keeping them to teachers and almost every.
one else during the campaign. Mr.. Tawes is
proving mat his opponent was right.

OF this county his real worth as leader of a
