May Have Been Cause Of
 January Airline Crash Which
 Claimed Lives of 34 Passengers

Saturday 16 miles away, on the. beach near Ft. Fisher, N. C., with some of the wreckage. Bakke said Frank could have been blown through the side of the plane by an explosion.
 Deeply Pierced by Fragments
 Bakke said Franks body had been deeply pierced by metal and wood fragments, and had been mutilate in manner far differ ent from the injuries suffered by all of the other victims. Such piercing of the body with flying fragments frequently occurs in explosions.
 Frank was married to the for mer Janet Wagner, a top pho- tographer's model. They had two children, Andrew, 2, and Ellen, 4.
 Bakke said that Frank had taken out $500,000 life insur- ance policy last November, two $100,000 accident policies in April and November, and three accident policies of $61, 800 each in December.
 Monroney said the insurance was made. payable to Mrs. Frank as beneficiary. She declined to discuss the matter with newsmen.
 New York insurance officials said there was nothing particu- larly unusual about the quantity of insurance Frank carried, nor the short time in which he acquired it.
 They said life insurance poli- files normally provide for no pay ment in case of suicide within two years of their issuance. The con- pany merely returns premiums which have been paid if suicide is proved.

WASHINGTON, R - Blaming suicide bomb for a January 6 airliner crash which killed 34 persons, Senator Mike Monroney O-Okla) said today new laws may be needed to protect against such acts.
 He said the evidence is very strong that a passenger bent on suicide caused the disaster.
 The FBI reportedly moved into the case yesterday as the story was unfolded before the Senate Aviation Subcommittee headed by Monroney.
 The subcommittee heard testi- mony that insurance totaling nearly $9O0,0OO had been issued since last April on the life of one of the crash victims.
 He was named as Julian An drew Frank, 32-year-old Vest port, Conn.,, lawyer. He died with 33 others when a National Air lines plane plunged to earth near Bolivia, N. C., while en route from New York to Miami.
 Oscar Bakke, chief of the Civil Aeronautics Boards safety divi- sion, testified about the insur- ance. Bakke also described other evidence found by CAB investi- gators which sMonroney said made clear the grim story of what had happened.
 Mystery had shrouded exact cause of the disaster since the plane literally fell apart in the air and plunged to earth.
 Bodies of most of the victims - the last was found yesterday - were located in the vicinity of Bolivia, N. c.

 Wounded was George Kruse, 49, the bartender.
 After shooting his victims, Dotti walked to an alcove in Dicks Bar, and Grill near the Holland Tunnel on Sixth Avenue, put his service revolver to his head, and fired.
 It clicked but didn't fire.
 
 A witness said Dotti appeared puzzled, examined the .38-caliber gun, raised the pistol to his head again, and fired a bullet into his brain.
 "The guy had been going crazy for about week." Kruse told police. "He had been in several times drinking and complaining that people were talking about him behind his back. He said he was going to have to kill five people this week."
 Dotti leaves his widow, Jennie, 50, and four children, aged 15 to 30.

Noted Geneticist
 Held for Murder Of Lady Biologist

BATON ROUGE, La, R - Dr. George H. Mickey, known inter- nationally in the field of genetics, was held in a Baton Rouge jail cell today, accused of murdering fellow teacher, Dr. Margaret Rosamond McMillan.
 Officers arrested Dr. Mickey, dean of the Louisiana State Uni versity graduate school, yester- day. They had questioned him several times since the body of Dr. McMillan, 39, was found on COW path Sunday near the Mis- sissippi River.
 An assailant had brutally beat en her with a sharp instrument on the back of the head. She was biology teacher at the LSU branch in New Orleans. She was believed to have driven to Baton Rouge for a date.
 District Attorney J. St. Clair Favrot said last night a special session of the grand jury may be called to consider the charge against Mickey, married and the father of 19-year-old boy, a sophomore at LSU, and mar ried daughter.
 A murder charge in Louisiana allows no release on bond.
 The 49-year-old Mickey was de- scribed as likeable and friendly by LSU personnel. He is consid- cred brilliant in the field of gen. cities and is known internationally.
 Favrot said he issued the war rant after reviewing the evidence. He wouldn't go beyond that. The District Attorney said the inves- tigation is still going on.

US. and Britain
 Approve Russ Talk Of Manpower Cut

LONDON, R - Britain today officially welcomed Soviet Pre- mier Khrushchev's announced in- tention to cut the Soviet Unions armed forces by 100000 men.
 A terse statement by the For eign Office was in contrast to the more cautious ''prove-it" attitude that marked the U. S. govern ment's approval.
 Both Allied powers = the Brit ish unofficially and the Amer ican officially = stressed that the Soviet Premier himself had noted the planned cuts would in no way lessen the real striking power of Soviet arms.
 A British spokesman told re- porters the government welcomes the news that the Soviet Union intends to make a further reduc- ton in it's conventional forces.
 The State Department in Wash ington last night called on the Soviet Union to accept an inter- national system of inspection and control as a means of testing Khrushchev's pledge.

Alaska Omitted From Federal
 Aid to Highways

WASHINGTON, R-Secretary of Commerce Frederick H. Muel- Ter sent to Congress Wednesday a recommendation that 50 miles of highway construction in Hawaii be included in the federally subsidized interstate and defense highway system.
 If approved by Congress, the action would make Hawaii elig- ible for federal assistance in the ratio of 90 per cent federal funds to 10 per cent state out lays.
 The report made no similar recommendation for Alaska. The study, as prepared by the Federal Highway Administration and for warded by the Secretary, said:
 Neither the present conditions nor anticipated further develop ments for the next Is to 20 years warrant the designation of any interstate mileage in Alaska
 It explained that the generally low volumes of traffic usage and the long routes through sparsely settled areas apparently can be adequately handled by using the construction standards for low volume primary and secondary road systems.
 The report noted, also, that Alaska is in more favored po- sition than most other states with respect to federal fund-matching, since it receives 86 cents of fed era1 aid for each f4 cents of state funds on the regular primary, secondary and urban extension road programs.
 q couldn't be more surprised" Bartlett said. "Along with other Alaskans had looked forward with anticipation to the states inclusion in the interstate highway system.
 eve are entitled to be included We pay all the taxes that citi-  zens elsewhere do for interstate roads.
 ". =. This report of the Con- merce Department . {. seems to be typical of the Administrations desire to do little for Alaska or nothing at all = unless it is forced to-"
 At Juneau Governor Egan called the Commerce Department report "A real blow"
 q never considered that reac- ton was possible,' Egan said. "We were very hopeful that such highway proposals in Alaska as Route 97 to Nome, the ferry sys- tenn for Southeastern Alaska and other routes would be part of the interstate system"
