11U. S. Flyers Captured
In So, Red Story Says

The Times dispatch said the
report was buried In the maga-
zine Ogonek in a long article
reprinted from the East Berlin
magazine Neueberlin Illustri-
erte purporting to show that
the United States had taken
up where Hitler left off in An
all-out espionage campaign
against the Soviet Union.
Despite this unusual source
for information on the fate OF
the American flyers" the Times
dispatch said. 'it bore the
stamp Of authority in view OF
the fact that the magazine il
published in the printing
house Of Pravda, the Commu-
mist Party paper. and pre-
sumably was given official ap-
p-oval."
The East German writer
charged that the plane was on
a spy mission over the Soviet
Union and said that even be-

lat the proposed headquarters
would be the timing Of the
city's emergency snow plans.
It was suggested that the ques-
ton might come up today of
applying similar emergency
snow regulations in Maryland
and Virginia as apply in WASH
ington.
Sanitation Director William
A. xanten indicated the spe-
|cial communications network
might be provided through the
Office Of Civil Defense.
The meeting was precipi.
tated by the massive traffic
jam, the worst in Washington's
history, that trapped thousands
of home-bound motorists in
Thursdays 7.7-inch pre-in-
augural snowstorm. Many
were as long as 10 hours get
ting home and nobody got
there in anything like the usual
time.
Among items to be discussed
are the possible increased use
Of salt on roads during snow
storms and coordination of
emergency snow plans with the
suburbs. The District has a
series Of plans which are in
voked to help keep roads clear
Of snow and stuck cars but
the Maryland and Virginia

Puerto Rico's Gov. Luis Mu-

"A real. deep-down revolu-

In q secret trial lasting seven
days in May, 1858, he was
sentenced to Is years in prison.
Eight months later he was a
patient in Santa Maria Hospi-

But he managed to elude his
guards and leave the hospital

had even sent his pet sparrow

it would not miss him.
Sought Asylum
A month later. on February

Argentine Embassy to obtain
political asylum. He entered

In December, 1852, Galvao
was tried with a group Of other
army officers and civilians for
plotting against the State, but
his conviction was quashed the
following year. He was thrown
out Of the army, however.
In January, 1858, Galvao
once more came into the lime
light as the star Of another
trial for rebellion. He was
sentenced to five years i'm
prisonment.
It was a sensational trial,
during which both his wife
and girl friend sat In court
among the public, smiling and
weeping as the occasion de-
manded. Galvao, accused Of
leading the plot, affirmed that
all incriminating documents
found in his flat were notes for
q play he was going to write
about q plot against the state.

While he was serving his
sentence in Lisbon Jail, Galvao
tried to escape and in a fit Of
