Robert Kennedy,
Douglas Dillon
Fill 2 More Posts

WASHINGTON Up - President
elect Kennedy today named his
brother, Robert F. Kennedy, At
torney General in his administra-
ton, and chose c. Douglas Dillon
to be Secretary of State.
Robert F. Kennedy, 35, was the
President-elect's campaign mana
ger, and has had government ex-
perience as counsel of the Senate
Rackets Investigating Committee.
This is the first time in U. S.
history that a President, or Presi-
dent-elect, has chosen brother
to be in his cabinet.
Dillon, 81, is now Undersecre-
tary of State, and is Republican.
His appointment is one the finan-
cial community will likely view
as assurance there will be no
radical fiscal experiments in the
Kennedy Administration.
With these appointments, Ken
nedy completed the selection of
his cabinet except for Postmaster
General. There were reports that
this job would go to J. Edward
Day, a Los Angeles insurance ex-
ecutive.
The appointments for Secretary
of the Treasury and Attorney
General were announced in quick
uccession-Dillon's first and then
Robert Kennedy's.
Dillon stood smiling beside Ken
needy as the announcement of his
appointment was made from the
doorstep of the President-elect's
home in Georgetown.
Kennedy said that Dillon wish
ed to return to private life, but
had agreed to accept the cabinet
post. Dillon has served with the
Eisenhower Administration since
1853 when he was appointed Am
bassador to France.

Two Airliners Crash i'm Mid-Air
Over Brooklyn; l25 Die in Wreckage

NEW YORK Up = Two huge
airliners, cropping through snow
shrouded skies for landings, col
lided and crashed into the city
today with fiery devastation. AT
least 1875 were killed.
The disaster was one of the
worst in American aviation his
tory.
1t unleashed flames and havoc
on the ground, turning an entire
square block of Brooklyn into an
arena of terror Residents fled
apartments screaming as walls
caved in and fires broke out in a
dozen buildings.
So far, however, only one per-
son on the ground was known
killed. Of the 1875 persons aboard
the two planes, one lived, young
boy.
An army of emergency workers
fought through the fires and
wreckage, with possibly other
casualties to be found.
One plane, a United Airlines
DC8 jet with 83 aboard, struck
in heavily populated Brooklyn,
hurting debris like bomb frag-
ments, and setting 10 apartment
buildings on fire. A church
ironically named "Pillar of Fire.
was demolished.
It was the first crash in this
country of pure jet carrying
passengers.
The other plane, a Trans-Wo
Airline Constellation carrying AZ,
raked over Staten Island, and
came to rest in harbor water. It
also started fires in the area, but
they were quickly controlled.
Heavy snow was falling when
the crash came about 10:40 a. m.
The disaster recalled another
plane collision over the Grand
The Nome nugget. [volume] (Nome, Alaska) 1938-????, 1960-12-16

Canyon on June 30, 1856, when
1913 were killed. It also was be-
tween TWA and United Airliners.
Today's TWA flight was from
Dayton and Columbus, Ohio,
coming in for landing at La
Guardia Field. The United Air
liner, out of Chicago, was stab
bling through the murk for Idle
wild International Airport.
The DC8 jet plummeted like
flaming rocket into an area on
Flatbush Avenue, setting off an
inferno. Every available piece of
fire and emergency equipment
was rushed to the scene.
Street side morgues were set
up, and ambulances formed a
screaming cavalcade heading to
hospitals.
The lone passenger to survive
was identified as Stephen Baltz,
II, of Chicago's suburban Will
mette. He was on his way to
join his mother, who was visit
ing relatives in New York.
Although only one victim on
the ground had been found by
early afternoon, firemen still had
mountains of wreckage and rub
BILE to search.
The FBI sent a seven-man dis
aster squad from Washington to
aid in identifying victims.
A control tower spokesman at
La Guardia Field said the TWA
plane was being watched on radar-
scope as it came in, when the.
image suddenly disappeared from
view, apparently when the planes
collided and fell.
At just what point over the
city they came together was not
precisely determined. But the
stricken craft apparently swerved
apart, plunging toward their sepa-
rate dooms.

Human Bomb
Intended for
President Elect

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. Up
A 73-year-old little man with
wavy white hair was held in $780,
900 bond today on charge that
he intended to turn himself into
a human bomb aimed at the life
of President-elect Kennedy.
Richard Paul Pavlick, retired
postal worker from Belmont,
N. H., was given hearing before
u. S. Commissioner George L..
Pink last night. Pink said the bond
was one of the highest ever set
in this city.
Pavlick was arrested yesterday
in Palm Beach and officers said
they seized several sticks of dyna-
mite, blasting caps, wiring and
other paraphernalia in his auto
mobile and motel room.
Pavlick talked freely with
newsmen in the West Palm Beach
jail. The ruddy-faced, stocky man,
wearing grey sweatshirt, seemed
to ENJOY the excitement OF MS ar
rest.
He said he had intended to take
the life of the President-elect be-
cause of the "the underhanded
way he was elected"
Kennedy money" he rambled
on, bought the White House and
the Presidency"
He said he had always had an
inferiority complex, that he had
given his money to children's
home in New Hampshire before
he left for the south and had
originally purchased the explo-
sives found in his car to blow up
tree stumps on his farm property
at Belmont.

President Bars Cuban
Sugar Imports to U. S.

WASHINGTON Up - President
Eisenhower, citing Cuba's policy
of deliberate hostility toward the
United States" today barred i'm
ports of Cuban sugar for the first
three months of 1861.
In giving Cuba no quota for
the first quarter of next year,
Eisenhower said such action "is
in the national interest of the
United States"
Eisenhower also said he will
urge again that Congress amend
the Sugar Act to relieve the Presi-
dent from the obligation of buy
ing sugar from the Dominican Re-
public.
The ban on sugar imports from
Cuba runs through next March
81, when the Sugar Act expires.

U. S. Eases Number
OF Overseas Dependents

WASHINGTON up - The gov
eminent has eased its controver-
sial order limiting the number of
military dependents overseas. Now
there are loopholes for some fami-
lies to squeeze through.
Originally President Eisen-
hover ordered that American
servicemen abroad could have no
more than a total of 100000 de-
pendents living with them. He
listed no exemptions.
Eisenhower's order last Nov. II
stemmed from this country's eff
forts to stop the flow of gold from
the U. S. to foreign countries.
American servicemen and their
families spend American dollars
while overseas, and these dollars
sometimes are redeemed for
American gold by foreign banks.
The new Defense Department
memorandum could mean that
at least 10000 more than the
original 100000 dependents will
be allowed to stay abroad. In all,
there are 484,O00 military depend
ents abroad.
In addition, the memorandum
slows down the effect of the Pres
idential order by canceling a sys-
tenn of strict monthly quotas of
reductions supposed to begin next
month.
Under the new setup, each serv-
ice determines its own monthly
quotas. In all probability the few
servicemen ordered abroad after
the beginning of 1861 will travel
without their families.

Youths Switch Clothes
Wrong One in Navy

ADAK Up - A 17-year-old Cali
fornia boy passed himself off as
his 19-year-old sailor brother for
two months before authorities at
Adak Naval Station found him
out, the Navy said yesterday.
The base legal office said it
discovered only Tuesday that the
youth known here as Fireman APP
prentice Richard Allen Kelly Jr.
was really William John Kelly.
The youths switched clothes and
identities in Oct, officers said,
while Richard was home on leave
with orders to report to Adak. He
had just been detached from the
USS Porterfield.
Richard and William are the
sons of Mr.. and Mrs. Richard
Allen Kelly Sr., Lancaster, Calf.
Richard Jr. assumed his broth
er's name and got a job in Bur-
bank, Calf, officers said.
Questioned here about the mix
up, Williams said: "Do you think
this will hurt my chance of join
ing the Navy? 1 want to enlist
because I like it fine"

Rebel Government
Overthrow in Ethiopia

LONDON Up - A broadcast
over the Adds Ababa radio claim
ed today the rebel government
set up in opposition to Emperor
Halle Selassie has been over
thrown.
The broadcast said the an
nouncement was made on orders
of Maj Gen. Nerd Mengesha,
who had been described as a
traitor yesterday by a rebel-con-
trolled station.
The exact situation in Adds
Ababa still was obscure. Resident
correspondents had been unable
to get news out.
But Halle Sealassie himself,
ready to fight for his throne and
blaming irresponsible persons
for the uprising apparently was
in or near Adds Ababa, his capt.
tai.
A Loyalist "Voice of Ethiopia
broadcast had reported the Lion
of Judah" back in Ethiopia.
In nearby French Somaliland

Three Billion Greeting Cards
Mailed During Holiday Season

WASHINGTON Up - About
three billion greeting cards are
being mailed this holiday season.
That is an average of nearly II
cards for every American. This
was the word yesterday from
Postmaster General Arthur E.
Summerfield. Understandingly, he
appealed to the public to mail their
cards promptly. For anyone who
planned to mail cards to distant
states it already is late. The dead
line for that, Summerfield said,
generally was Dec. 10, which is
already past. However, he said
cards may still generally be de-
livered between any two points
in the U. S. if dropped quickly
into the mail box. Today, Sum-
merfield said, is the last recon-
mended date for local Christmas
mailings.

dismissal of the charges.
The indictment accuses Mr.. Jack
letting Sidney J. Ungar, a real
estate promoter having business
dealings with the city, pay $4,000
for remodeling the Borough Presi-

Mr.. Jack of conspiring to obstruct
justice by tell a false story to
conceal the source of the money
from investigating authorities.
The first trial began on June 8.
After twenty court days it ended
last Thursday in a hung jury.
Mr. Baker sought unsuccessfully
yesterday to persuade Judge Sara
fite, who presided at the first trial,
to set the case for immediate re-
trial before another Judge.
The lawyer told Judge Sara
fite that he was only making a
request or suggestion, not legal
motion, that the new trial be heard
by another judge. However, after
court Mr.. Baker said he might file
motion requesting the Judge to
disqualify himself if he did not re-
fer the case to another judge of
his own volittion. AS matters now
stand, the case is still on Judge
Sarafite's calendar.
In making the request for an
other judge, Mr.. Baker told Judge
Sarafite that he did not intend to
impugn his integrity, but that he
thought it would be hard for him
to reverse rulings against the de-
tense that he had made in the first
