A last-minute decision not to
fly may have saved the life Of
a Riverdale MD woman.
Mrs. Margaret Miller, SO, of
4819 Longfellow street, was
driven to National Airport last
night by her sister, Mrs. Gladys
Murphy. Mrs. Miller was to
have flown to Charlottesville,
Va, on the Piedmont Airlines
plane which never arrived.
Mrs. Miller was on her way
to the bedside of her critically
ill uncle in Mount Sidney, Va.
The family had put in an emer-
gency call for her to hurry.
Two friends were to meet her
at National Airport and accom-
pany her on the trip to Char
lottesville, where a nephew was
to be on hand to drive her to
her uncle's home.
About 6 am. this morning
Mrs. Miller's sister, with whom
she lived in Riverdale, received

on their soil. Russian Premier
Khrushchev has made pointed
threats about countries that
harbor Allied missile bases.
Greece also was approached,
but nothing came of it.
This probably was a factor
in the cutting down of the
number of Thor squadronS.
The bomber bases overseas
cost many millions of dollars
and in the postwar years were
an essential part of the Allied
defenses. But the medium
range BAT bombers they were
set up for are getting out of
date.
B-52 Force Increased
Bomber bases will be main
tanned, however, in Spain and
England.
At the same time the United
States is steadily increasing its
force of B-52 intercontinental
bomberS. which can be based
in this country.
These bomberS, the mainStay
of the Strategic Air Command,
eventually will be replaced by
missiles. But until the inter-
continental missiles are per-
fected, they remain an i'm
portant defense requirement

STATE TEACHERS
VOTE TO BACK
COFFEE BREAKS

RICHMOND, Va.-Mem-
bers of the Virginia Edu-
cation Association yester-
day approved a resolution
asking that they be given
a coffee break every day.
At present that's an insti-
tuition enjoyed by teachers
in only one-f1fth of Vir-
ginia's schools.
The teachers group said
it believes that good mem
tai and physical health de-
mand the providing of rest
periods for teachers and
urges that each teacher, in
addition to the lunch pc
riods, be given some time
free from assigned duties
within each school day.
The department recon-
mendS the use of qualified
educational secretaries to
perform the many clerical
and Secretarial duties
which reduce the effective
ness of classroom teachers.

Steel Union Appeal
Moves to Showdown

Pressed for speed, the court

The 100000 Steelworkers would
be free to resume their strike
next January, upon expiration

1t was evident that negotia-

Turkey to set up an intermed-
iate-range Jupiter missile base
in that country, strategically
located on Russia's border.
The issue of the American
air bases in Moroccan soil has
been politically explosive since
the little North African king
dom gained its independence
in 1856.
Change In Strategy
The Moroccans have long
wanted the American forces
withdrawn. Yesterday the State
Department announced that
plans for the withdrawal have
been presented to the Moroccan
prime minister.
Negotiations for the missile
base in Turkey, which will Off
set the loss of the Moroccan
bases, have been underway for
some time. Formal agreement
was announced yesterday.
The abandonment of the air
bases follows a change in STRAIT
egg that began in December,
1857.
The Allied high command at
that time decided to gradually
shift emphasis from bombers,
now becoming obsolete in the
missile age, to rockets capable
of carrying nuclear warheads.
Two Jupiter bases are being
set up in Italy. -Four squadronS
of the 1,500-mile Thor missiles
are being delivered to Great

An air-ground search for q
Piedmont Airlines DC-3 miss
ing with 81 aboard swung today
to the area around Standards

Charlottesville, after several
citizens reported hearing an ex-
plosion there last night.

and another Piedmont DC-3
took of in a dwindling fog to
search for the craft presumed
to have crashed in the Char
lottesville area less than an
hour after leaving Washington.
A report that a ground party
had sighted wreckage on Piney
Mountain, just north of the
airport runway, turned out to
be erroneous.
AS the day wore on, 1t ap-
peared that Piedmont's record
of no fatal accidents during its
11-year history was to be shat
tered.
HeIicopters Ready
Earlier, a heavy overcast had
kept all search planes on the
ground. Officials said they
hoped to get five helicopters in
the air as the weather improves.
The planes three crewmen
are from nearby Virginia. None
of the passengers were known
to be from the Washington
area.
The twin-engined craft, car
rying a capacity load of "a
passengers and three crewmen,
took off from National Airport
at TAO pm. last night, bound
flor Roanoke with stops in l
Charlottesville and Richmond,
Piedmont officials said.

1t was last heard from at
8:l8 pm, when the pilot made

trouble was reported at that
point. The craft was believed
to be over Rochelle, about six
minutes northeast of Char
lottesxille, at the time.
The airliner's fuel would
have been exhausted by II pm,
officials said.

Quick Summit
Is Advocated
ByKhrushchev
Major Policy Speech
Sees American and
British Agreement

MOSCOW, Oct. 81 (APD.-
Premier Khrushchev said today
that President Eisenhower and
British Prime Minister Mac
milan agreed with him that
there should be a summit con-
ference "the sooner the better"
In a major foreign policy
speech before the rubber-stamp
Soviet Parliament, Mr.. Khru-
shchev made no direct refer
ence to French President de
Gaulle's suggestion the confer
ence be held of until spring.
The Soviet leader predicted,
however. that his forthcoming
visit to France would be useful
for France, for Russia and for
world peace.
Wearing a gray suit with his
usual medals, Mr.. Khrushchev
was wildly cheered in his l.
hour-41-minute speech cover
ing the whole international
range.
Major Points
Among the major points he
made we're:
/. Disarmament is the most
important problem of the pres
ent day and on its settlement
depends whether there will be
war or peace. Russia wants
complete disarmament but it
is willing to consider other
proposals.
2. The Soviet Union sup
ports Red China's determine
ton to take Formosa until
the question is solved"
3. I'VE regret the incidents
on the Indian-ChineS frontier,
especially where they involved
casualties, and we hope they
will not be repeated. We hope
the difficulties will be solved by
negotiations"
4. His visit to the United
States convinced him the ma
jority of Americans do not
want war and he feels they
now understand better the So
Wet desire for peace.
5. He called for withdrawal
Of foreign troops from South
Korea to speed uniflcation of
the country.
s. He declared the Soviet
Union desired that not even the
"minutest hotbed of war"
should remain in Laos and said
foreign countries ought not to
interfere because of possible
undesirable results"
