Five Die in Crash
Of BAY Bomber

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 8
(AP). - A six engine Bat
Stratojet bomber crashed on
take-off from nearby Lock-
bourne Air Force Base early
today, killing all five persons
aboard.
The $2.5 million jet exploded
and burned.
The bases public information
officer said the plane had gone
about 5000 feet down the
12,000-foot runway and lifted
about so feet when the right
wing dropped and it crashed.
BAT bombers-which grad
ually are being replaced by
newer, faster jet aircraft

However, the base spokesman
said the BAT involved in
today's crash carried two extra
crew members to operate cleo

fuse enemy radar. 1t was on a
routine training mission.

North American Newspaper Alliance
NEW YORK. Nov. 8.-The
time is drawing near when
Richard M. Nixon or John F.
Kennedy will rise to one of the
most difficult moments any man
has to face: Conceding defeat
in a race for the highest elective
office in the country.
Here's how others have met
the occasion.
Adlai Stevenson, when he
lost to Dwight D. Eisenhower
in 1862. borrowed a quip from
the first Republican President
to describe his feelings:
Someone once asked Lin.
coin how he felt after losing
an election" Mr.. Stevenson
told his fearful followers, land
he replied: I felt like a little
boy who stubbed his toe in the
dark. He was too old to cry
and it hurt too much to
laugh"
(Although it is not known
on what occasion Lincoln made
this statement, it was after
losing an election early in his
career that he said: "If the
good people, in their wisdom,
shall see fit to keep me in the
background. I have been too
familiar with disappointments
to be very much chagrined.D
AT the same time, Stevenson
was asked by a fan II he would

A telephone company ,spokes-
man tersely said. "Our oper-
ators must say it's collect. Our
operators know how to get De-
troit. The people are probably
telling them it's a Washington
number. Or they're calling
on their own using long dis
lance direct dialing and getting
the wrong area code"
Mr.. Pope said, why they'd
want to call Mr.. Nixon with
their own money is beyond me"
In desperation he even took
some local calls, saying he was
Mr.. Nixon. II told two little
girls about 4 years old ! was
Mr.. Nixon. They were thrilled. ="
The whopping Republican
phone bill for the calls that
finally reached Detroit was
minimized by a backlog of
waiting calls that stopped up
all circuits to Detroit for well
over an hour.

kasayubu Gets
U. n. Challenge
Congo Aides Deny
Right to Speak

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Nov. 8 (AP).-The United Ma
tons disclosed today that
leaders of the Congo parlia-
ment have challenged the right
Of President Joseph Kasavubu
to speak for their country in
the forthcoming General As
Sembly debate.
The views Of the parliament
airy chiefs were transmitted to
United Nations Secretary Cen
efal Dag Hammarskjold by
Ambassador Alex Quaison-
Sackey of Ghana, one Of the
sponsors Of q move to seat q
delegation representing de-
posed Premier Patrice Lumum-
ba.
The pro-Lumumba parlia-
ment was dissolved by Mr..
Kasavubu last September and
has been idle under the army
regime Of Col. Joseph Mobutu.
The communications were
disclosed in advance Of an
afternoon Assembly session on
the Congo at which Mr.. Kas-
avubu will speak.
Regime Called Fascist
Joseph Okito, president of
the Senate, in q message to
Mr.. Hammarskjold, accused
Mr.. Kasavubu Of trampling the
fundamental law of the coun-
try under foot and collaborat-
ing with Belgian nationals to
maintain power.
Mr.. Okito described the Mo-
butu government as Fascist. He
also accused Mr.. Kasavubu of
a long list of illegal acts, in
Guiding the use of huge sums
of Belgian money to corrupt
the Congolese masses, members
of Parliament and the officials
and to seize control Of the po-
lNical situation on behalf Of the
Belgian paternalists."
Both Mr.. Okito and Joseph
Kasongo, president of the
Chamber of Deputies, asserted
that Mr.. Kasavubu had come to
New York without the approval
of Parliament and therefore
had exceeded his authority.
'"Since his journey is not Of
ficial." Mr.. Kasongo said. "he
does not speak for the Congo
lese nation"
Kama Delegation Favored
Mr.. Okita called on the
United Nations to seat the Lu-
mumba delegation headed by
Thomas Kama.
The Assembly delayed the
start Of its latest Congo debate
until this afternoon to give the
Congo chief of state time to
marshal his arguments.

One Of them carried a sign
saying. Good morning, Mr..
President"
1nStructS His Wife
He and Mrs. Kennedy, who
was wearing a purple coat and
q black leather beret, were
escorted downstairs to the
voting booths. The Senator in
structed Mrs. Kennedy, who ex-
poets their second child in
three weeks, in the details of
voting.
He posed outside the booth
for photographers, then went
in and drew the curtain. He
and Mrs. Kennedy smiled for
photographers again after they
had cast their ballots.
AS they came out again, they
heard more applause and
cheers.
One gray-haired WON a I,

The Kennedys were driven
to Logan International Airport

rlCtuIe on Iu9e A-S
the 43d anniversary Of the Boil
shevik revolution.
While the rest of Moscow
dined and danced, Mr.. Khru-
shchev proposed a series Of
eight toasts with various of the
1000 guests in the Kremlin's
great st. Georges Hall.
Clinking glasses with United
States Ambassador Llewellyn
Thompson and West German
Ambassador Hans Knoll, the
Soviet Premier drank Ito
friendship of all peoples, to Eu-
rope, to the United States, to
co-existence in order to live in
peace and friendship"
Asks About Voting
"Our relations should allow
peace and friendship in the
world" he continued. Raise
your glasses and drink for
peace and friendship"
They Joined him in the toast.
How are you going to vote
tomorrow" Mr.. Khrushchev
asked Mr.. Thompson.
The Ambassador sidestepped,
replying that he had two chill
dren who were voting on oppo-
site siles Of the fence.
Mr.. Khrushchev also pro-
posed q special toast with Mr..
Knoll to the good health" of
West German Chancellor Kon-
rad Adenauer, and in a private
talk they agreed their coun-
tries relations should be inn
proved.
ACTING as If he were sitting
on top Of the world, Mr.. Khru-
shchev's toasts ranged from
world peace to the city of
Moscow for arranging the an
niversary parade earlier yester-
day through Red Square.
Salutes Communists
At the start, he said: "You
can drink to them or not drink
to them. it's up to you. The
time will come when all will
drink to them with pleasure. :"
Then he toasted the "great
Russian people who heroically
stormed the capitalist world,
crushed the old order"
No Western ambassadors
drank to that, one.
He saluted all Communist
countries, and said all peoples
are coming toward communism,
though, like vegetables. all do
not ripen at once.
He raised another glass to
colonial people who are still
in slavery. The time will come
when these people will rise
against the colonialists. The
more they do. the more we will
applaud them, and not only
applaud them but assist them"
Referring to the Congo, Mr..
Khrushchev commented, "They
say that in the Congo the
USSR was beaten. And we say
that those who laugh last laugh
best"
