ons" crashed in flames near

were killed and the other
five crew members parachuted
safely.
One Of the unidentified nu-
clear weapons was jettisoned
before the crash and was para

found in the wreckage Of the
huge eight-jet B-52-G bomber
Iof the Strategic Air Command
which crashed about is miles
north of here in a rural area.

Grated by the Air Force.

no danger Of nuclear explosion
or radiation.

The plane, stationed at near
by Seymour johnson Air Force
Base, was returning for an
emergency landing shortly after
midnight after being airborne
for several hours. The pilot had
radioed he was having emer-
gency fuel problems.
1t. Gen. Walter c. Sweeney,
jr., commanding officer of the
9th Air Force with headquar-
tiers at Westover AFB, Mass,
flew here Immediately.

ance at dawn. He had been
considered missing. but he
walked from Q swampy wood
land area to O farmers home
to notify base authorities he
had parachuted safely.
A major part of the wreck
age was strewn across O rural
paved road. Parts Of the plane,
which had disinteerated, lay
lin fields bordering the road.
The bodies Of two men were

said he could have been blown
from the plane and his para
chute opened automatically.
The other men who para
chuted safely suffered only
minor injuries.
Firemen Probe Area
Shortly after the plane e
crashed. Air Force personnel
armed with carbines sur
rounded the area. Air Force
firemen wearing hooded insu-
lated suits remained nearby
until fires from the wreckage
subsided before they probed
the area to ascertain there was
no radiation.

Ham Gets

Work Test
By q Star stan Writer

CAPE cANAVERAL, Fla,
Feb. 2.-Ham, the Mercury
astrochimp, was back at work
pulling levers for scientists
here today.
He was scheduled for half
an hour Of work this morning,
this afternoon and again to-
morrow morning.
Scientists will compare his
lever-pilling capabilities with
his work before and during his
420-mile rocket flight Tuesday
from here to the South At
lantic. The lever pulling SIM
ulates the real work q human
aStronaut will need to do on
q similar flight this spring and
on an orbital flight scheduled
late this year.
After he was hooked out of
the Atlantic, Ham spent a
night on the USS Donner,
went to a Grand Bahamas Is
land station for tests and then
was flown here yesterday aft
ernoon.
His Mercury space capsule
also was brought back for an
engineering check. Part Of its
heat shield and the skirt" de-
signed to provide buoyancy and
stability in the water had been
torn away. perhaps when the
capsule parachuted into the
water. A foot and q half Of
seawater leaked in.

Big Families Get
Housing Status
With Displaced

Starting today. large fam
lilies will be treated on an equal
basis when it comes to assign
ing public housing units, rather
than giving priority to those
displaced by urban renewal.
The National Capital Hous-
ing Authority voted to revoke
its decision Of April 26, 1858,
which gave preference to dis
placed families for public hous-
ing units Of three or more bed
rooms.
Francis x. Servaites, execu-
tive director Of the housing
authority, said this policy has
led to overcrowding by not
giving expanding families &C
cess to larger units. The board
yesterday voted to assign va
cant, large units alternatively
to those on the standard public
housing list and those displaced
by urban renewal.
The housing authority also
discussed the fireproofing OF
Highland Dwellings, the public
housing development where
three children died. in a fire

board was "veering" toward re-
placing the pressed cardboard

Bonn Offers
Billion 10 Ease
Dollar Drain.

BONN, Germany, Feb. 2
(AP).-West Germany told the
United States today It would
pay about. a billion dollars in a
single payment toward easing
the drain on American dollar
and gold reserves. -,
The payment proposal was
made by Economics Minister
Ludwig Erhard to United States
Ambassador Walter C. Dowling.
Neither would say officially
what the proposal contained but
informed sources said the total
amount would be about q bill
lion dollars.
InformantS said the Germans
proposed to pay $5s7 million as
prepayment Of their postwar
debt. which now totals $787 mil
lion. They asked that the re-
naming 5000 million be can
celed as settlement for German
assets seized in the United
States during World. War II,
informants said.
Would Buy More Arms
The West Germans repeatedly
offered to increase arms pur-
chases in the United States
from $3.50 million to $3.50 mil
lion this year. OF this total,
$3.50 million would be prepaid.
The German offer also Is re-
ported to include q willingness
to increase military orders al
ready contracted for by $125
million, which also would be
prepaid.
The Bonn government fur
ther offered to boost its share
to the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization infrastructure by
$40 million. The infrastructure
program deals with mainte-
nance Of depots and other fixed
installations.
There was no immediate
comment on the offer from the
Americans, but United States
officials here were reported
dissatisfied. 1t was understood
the Americans, who do not
look upon the dollar drain as
temporary, want the Germans
to make some sort Of arrange
ment under which they would
help pay for some recurring
projects. such as military aid
to Greece and Turkey.
See Problem as Temporary
The Germans apparently re-
tected this, contending the
American balance Of payments
problem is temporary and
could be helped by a single
payment.
1t was believed the prepay
ment Of the German postwar
debt was not formally tied to
a settlement of the assets ques-
ton, but only that a suggestion
was made that the 5000 million
debt balance be Cancelled. The
reported reason for this move
was that the Germans feared
the United States Congress
would balk at settling the Ger
man assets question.
United States officials have
contended West Germany al
ready was compensated twice
for the seized assets, now total
ing about $500 million.

gado was considered more
moderate and measured.
Their present apparently
close association has surprised
many here and di .illusioned
others.
Called International Crime
The facts of the seizure, as
published here, disguised many.
The reported international
character Of the hijackers-
only six Portuguese, the rest
Spaniards, Cubans and persons
of other nationality-gave a
Communist tinge to the whole
affair in the eyes Of the man
in the Lisbon streets.
DR.. Valadao stated emphati-
cally at news conferences
Tuesday and yesterday, this
is an international crime, not
Just one against Portugal" He
said it involved the entire
Western world.
Avidly awaiting news Of the
Santa Maria, people buy news
papers as fast as they appear
on the streets. Large crowds
stand in front Of newspaper
offices reading the latest news
as 1t Is chalked on bulletin
boards.
Portugal is 9 maritime ma
ton, and when something
happens to one Of her ships,
especially the pride Of her
passenger fleet, 1t Is . personal
matter to all Of her citizens,
whether they approve Of the
government or not. -
What most Portuguese are
trying to puzzle out Is Just
what Gen. Delgado and dalvao
hoped to prove or accomplish
by their seizure Of the Santa
Maria.
