In addition to the real estate

tax hikes, which would require
congressional approval.
The tax package, along witt
a $32 million Federal payment

from Chicago.
There were eight survivors,
including an 8-year-old Long
Island schoolboy, Robert Sui
livan, whose parents and two
sisters lost their lives in the
tragedy.
The board said it believed
that "even though the accident
probably resulted from the cap
tain's neglect of certain essen
tial instrument references, it
could have been prevented had
the first officer followed pre-
scribed operating procedures,
and been fully alert and atten-
tive to all his cockpit duties
throughout the approach"
More specifically. the CAB
said 1t had determined the
probable cause of the accident
was premature descent below
landing minimums which was
the result of preoccupation Of
the crew on particular aspects
Of the aircraft and its environ
ment to the neglect of essential
flight instrument references for
attitude and height above the
approach surface"

plea for a settlement in a RADIO
television speech on the eve
Of his departure for his trip
abroad.
When Mr.. Nixon and Mr..
Mitchell launched their About
drive for a settlement just be-
fore New Years Day, Mr.. Fin
negan was told by higher au-
thorities to step out of the
picture.
He was convinced, anyway,
that mediation would be fruit
less until after the workers
voted January 11-13. But Mr..
Nixon persuaded both sides that
the vote would accomplish
nothing, that they bad better
settle before Congress got into
the act.
Mr.. Ftnnegan and his aides
formulated their package pro-
posal after many weeks of feel
ing out both sides on possible
compromises. He had tried out
all kinds Of suggestions without
much success. but apparently
believed he had a chance to put
across the distillation-after
the January 11-13 vote but be-
fore expiration of the Taft
Hartley Act Injunction Janu-
ary 26.
Secretary Mitchell, mean
while, apparently is disturbed
about contentious that the set
tlement gave the union too
much and may bring about in
f1ationary increases in steel
prices. He plans to give his
version Of the settlement terms
in a Detroit speech tomorrow.
His associates are saying
that the size Of the settlement
has been exaggerated. While
denying that the steel COM
panies made any pledges to
postpone price increases until
after November's election, these
associates contend they see no
need for boosts in the immedi-
ate future. Mr.. Mitchell has de-
MED making any promises to
withhold legislative recon-
mendations in return for &C
ceptance Of terms.
They also object to implica-
tions that Mr.. Nixon dictated
the settlement. The Vice Pres
ident and the Labor Secretary
sounded out both sides until
they found areas Of possible
compromise. these sources re-
port, and then submitted the
package for voluntary accept
ance. Both sides were willing
to accept but neither was pre-
pared to make the offer, ac-
cording to these sources.
They point out that the
union-not just the companies
made concessions. But it
seems clear that the companies
yielded more. I,

CoIemon's Brother Describes
Role in Suspects Surrender
BY JOSEPH B. BYRNES
Star star Writer

"It was an awful thing for a
man to do to his brother, but
! thought it was best"
With those words, Lawson
Coleman, "a. near tears, ex-
planned his part in the arrest
Of his brother, william, charged
in the Staying of 18th precinct
Pvt. Donald Brereton.
1t was at the Lawson Cole
man apartment at 2215 Four
teenth street NV. that William
was arrested early yesterday
morning by FBI agents.
Lawson Coleman said he was
called about 500 am. yester-
day by his younger brother
who asked Lawson if the police
had been to LawSon's home to
question him. Lawson said he
told William the police had
been there and had been ques-
tioning him almost constantly
since early Friday.
Called FBI
The older brother said Will
liam told him that he would
come to Lawson's apartment
and give himself up. Lawson
said he called the FBI and two
agents arrived before his
brother.
As William stepped through
the door, he was seized by the
agents, searched and then
handcuffed.
Lawson said he asked the
agents if he could have word
in private with his brother.
The agents denied the request.
As the two agents stood in
the small apartment living
room, Lawson said he asked
William if he was involved in
anything wrong. He said Will

Lawson said he then told
William: This is an awful
thing you have done and you
have brought shame on our
family. i don't know what this
Will do to Mother. You know
she isn't we'll"
Lawson, a truck driver, de-
scribed his brother William, as
a quiet. Woodworking boy who
seldom, if ever. was in trouble"
He' said he was shocked when
he finally learned that two of
his brothers were suspects in
the shooting.

scene and the pistol in the car
behind Williams house that led
detectives to ask for a first
degree murder warrant for VIII
liam Friday morning.
Chief Scott became suspicious
OF the car near the scene and
it was traced to William by the
registration. 1t was also learned
by checking criminal records
that William once had been ar
rested on suspicion OF theft.
! Having Williams name, de-
tectives went to Raymond's
house about 10 pm. Deputy
Chief Scott said that William
already had been there and
had gone.
Police also rounded up a
number Of other persons who
knew William, including Miss
Pitts, who was held a. a ma
terial witness. She has been
released in custody of her at
torney.
Hundreds Of policemen by
this time were searching WASH
ington, Maryland and Virginia
for William Coleman. They
learned that he went to the
home of James z. Davis, "a, at
1917 Euclid street NV, at /
am. Friday. Mr.. Davis told
police William asked for money
to return to his hometown OF
Mineral. in Louisa County, Va,
but said he did not mention the
shooting.
Police said William apparent
ly went to a few Joints" from
l am. to 2 am. and then went
to the home of another woman,
Margaret Carter, %. of 3605
Thirteenth street NV. The
woman said William asked her
If he could spend the night.
She said she told him no" at
first but later consented.
Friday morning at $3.50 am,
police said, Williams drove the
woman to her laundry job in
the northwest and spent part
Of the day riding around. Police
found several people who saw
William during the day.
William picked her UP at
her job about 4 pm. Fri
day in her 1853 turquoise
up at her job about 4 pm.
Friday in her 1858 turquoise
automobile and took her back
home, police said. BY this time,
word had reached police that
William was in such a car.
They traced the car to her
house at $3.50 am. yesterday.
The woman was there, Chief
Scott said. and told police she
had just driven William to the
home of his brother, Lawson
Coleman, on Fourteenth street.
Earlier, William had been
on the phone to Lawson and
Lawson had advised him to give
himself up.
Williams capture by the FBI
came about because Lawson
called the FBI instead of police.
Operatives of both agencies had
been to his house several times
during the manhunt. AS 1t
worked out. two FBI men were
waiting in Lawson's house
when William arrived and made
the arrest.
The FBI, which had been
called into the case when it was
thought William had fed the
District to avoid prosecution,
questioned him briefly and
turned him over to Washington
police about 10:30 am. yester-
day.
Inspector Scott said William
was confronted with the testi-
mony of Raymond and Annie
Coleman and other as-yet un-
disclosed evidence. He said
William admitted he and Ray
mond had been involved in the
holdup but spoke of a third
man. William told police only
Raymond knew the third man
and indicated the third man
must have done the shooting.
