Spain Town Wiped Out As Dam Bursts

PANDORA, Spain, R - Troops and civil guardsmen searched in the mud and rubble of Rivadelago Saturday for victims of Spain's worst disaster of the century.
 The tiny mountain village of some 800 inhabitants was swal- lowed and destroyed early Friday by waters of a dam which burst. Engineers of the hydroelectric company which maintained the dam were out in force to find the cause of the break.
 Newsmen and photographers were hindered by the troops and guardsmen. Officials in charged of rescue work refused to give any estimate of the number of persons who had died.
 One official source said there were 200 survivors out of the 500 residents. Another said there were 300. Even the second figure meant there were 200 or more dead or missing.
 The government announced in Madrid early Saturday after a cabinet meeting that "so far" there were IS dead and nearly 100 missing.
 The village lies three miles from the dam and 1,70O feet lower. This drop gay the estimated 23O-million cubic feet of water a terrific speed and impact by the time it reach Rivadelago.

Russ Propose
 Winter German Peace Talks

MOSCOW, R - Soviet Russia proposed in notes to the western Big Three and 24 other nations last week the convocation of a German peace conference in Prague or Warsaw within two months.
 Along with the notes went a 25-page proposed peace treaty which would make West Berlin an unmarked free city until such time as the two Germanys are united.
 The proposed draft treaty was similar to that offered by former Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov five years ago, and included pro visions which the Western powers previously have rejected.
 Among the proposals were CD Germany be prohibited from join ing any military bloc which does not include all signatory nations and CD all foreign troops pull out of Germany within one year.
 Other sections would prohibit German claims to eastern terri tories now occupied by Poland.
 The note went to all countries that participated in World War II against Hitler's forces.
 The Soviet notes were in reply to western rejections of an earlier Soviet note. The note of Novem- Der 27 had proposed that the United States, Britain and France pull their troops out of est Der lin, leaving it an unarmed free city.
 In similar Western rejections, the three nations suggested that Big Four conference be called to- consider the whole German prob lem, including reunification.

Wildlife Program No Problem, Says SeatOn

WASHINGTON, R - Secre- tary of the Interior Seaton feels confident ways can be found to work out cooperative programs between the Fish and Wildlife Service and Alaska's fish and game department.
 He made the comment in a let ter to Senator Ernest Gruening, acknowledging Gruening's recent protest against a proposed with draWal of lands surrounding the Aleutian Island Wildlife Refuge.
 The Senator had noted that the proposed withdrawal included tidelands which the Statehood Bill had granted to Alaska.
 Seaton said his staff was look ing into the proposal, particularly the legal authority of this depart ment to withdraw the tidelands area"
 The Secretary explained that the Interior Department will con- tinue to have control in Alaska under various laws and large areas of the new state remain un- der federal ownership, Seaton added. Both the state and this department have an obligation to future generations of Alaskans, and to the nation, to take such action as is necessary to insure the conservation and wise use of our national resources in Alaska"

Rebel Factions
 Defer To Castro
By BEN FUNK

HAVANA, LR .- Two rival rebel units swore loyalty to Fidel Cas- tro Saturday, apparently heading off a threat of serious quarrels within the revolutionary move ment.
 The two are the student-backed Revolutionary Directorate and the Second National Front of Es- cambray. Both had complained of lack of representation in the new provisional government.
 Castro, whose 18th of July movement spearheaded the drive that finally toppled Dictator Full gencio Batista, had accused the Directorate of seizing huge arms stores and warned: "Whoever does anything that places the revolu- ton in danger is a criminal and a traitor"
 Major Faure Chaumont, com manding the Directorate's troops, told a news conference later:
 'We are ready to deliver the arms and do all necessary for the tranquility of the Republic"
 This sentiment was echoed by Major Eloy Gutierrez Menoyo, whose Second National Front of Escambray was in the forefront of the battle of Santa Clara, the en- gagement that convinced Batista that the game was up.
 We are at the disposition of President Manuel Urrutia and commander in chief Fidel Castro" :" he said.
 Castro, who had accused Chau- mont of hostility to the Castro movement, was quoted by the newspaper Diario Nacional as say ing he was overjoyed at the return of the arms taken by the Direc- torate.
 On the matter of U. s. rela- tions, Castro told reporters he is sympathetic toward the people of the United States, but complained that the U. s. government armed dictators.

German Airliner Crashes At Rio Killing 3e Persons

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, lR - Thirty-six persons were killed when a West German airliner crashed and burned yesterday as it attempted landing in heavy rain at Galeao International Air port.
 Three crew members were the only survivors. Seven other crew members and 29 passengers were killd.
 The four engine Super Constel- lation of the Lufthansa Airline was en route to Rio from Europe and Africa. A wingtip struck the mud of the marsh at the edge of Guanabara Bay about two miles from the airport as the pilot tried to line up with a runway.
 It was Lufthansa's first fatal crash since it began postwar op- erations in April, 1855.
