Was It a Quake
 Or Russian Bomb?

Seismograph readings Thursday touched off speculation that the Soviet Union had already carried out it's threat to resume nuclear weapon tests. But most scientists agreed that their instruments had actually registered an earthquake near Peru.
 The shocks were registered about p. m. Wednesday. Prof Max Biefier of Basel University's Astronomical Institute in Swift zerland, and Dr. Raffaele Ben dandi of the Geophysical Ob- servatory in Faenza, Italy, placed inc shocks somewhere in China's Gobi Desert.
 Bieder said the shocks were unusual in that the second was stronger than the first and the center was relatively near the surface. Bendandi said they could have been caused zby subter- ranean explosion.
 The shocks were also regis tered at about the same time en seismographs at Columbia Uni versity, California Institute of Technology, the Japan Meteorol- ogical Agency, the Riverview Col lege Observatory in Australia and Sweden's Uppsala University.
 None of these plotted the shock as having occurred in Asia, and most put it near Peru. A spoles- man at Riverview said the earth quakes were about 423 miles be- tow the surface of the earth and not likely to cause any damage.
 Prof Bieder said later it was his instruments gave a faulty reading.

Soviet Document
 Shows Support For Free Air Corridors

WASHINGTON tR - The U. s. government today made public a long secret Soviet document which it said shows the Russians them selves once contended the airs corridors to Berlin are for un- restricted use by both military and civilian allied planes.
 The document says the three Western corridors to Berlin had been allotted by four power agreement, including the Soviets, flor unrestricted flights by al- lied aircraft over the Soviet zone of occupation in Germany"
 The paper, which the Soviets presented at the l947 Moscow foreign .ninisters' meeting of the big powers, was described as prob ably the most explicit written record showing Soviet agreement to unhampered civilian and mili- tary traffic to Berlin.
 The question of air access to West Berlin is a key issue in the developing crisis over the Com munist-surrounded city. The West ern Allies look on the air corri- dors as their most important life lire in maintaining their precari- ous foothold in the city
 The Reds have been contendiEg postwar allied agreements pro vided for use of the air corridors only to supply the Western mili- tary garrisons in Berlin.
 Communist East Germany off cials have served notice that, once they get the peace treaty prom ised by Soviet Premier Khrush- chev, they will clamp down on civilian traffic.

 The White House said the test was of a device Of intermediate range"
 U. s. authorities explained later that intermediate range" refer red to explosions of 100-500 kilo- tons, and certainly less than one megaton. The bomb which de- vastated Hiroshima in World War II was 20 kilotons, or the equivalent of 10000 tons of TINT.
 The test, the White House said, was conducted in the general area of Semlpalatinsk in Central Asia.
 It was detonated in the atmo- sphere.
 "The device tested had a sub- stantial yield in the intermediate range" the White House said.
 How the test was detected or reported to the United States was not immediately disclosed.
 The nuclear test occurred jus! two days after the Soviet Union announced it would resume nu- clear weapons experiments ar announcement President Kennedy has branded as atomic blaclznail.
 Kennedy was informed of the test blast, after it was confirmed at 3:15 p. m.

Superbomb in Brief :.
Rr The Associated Press

How much punch would a 100- megaton bomb pack?
 It would unleash the equiva- lent force of 100 million tons of TINT.

IVA Airliner
 Crashes Outside of Chicago 78 Perish

CHICAGO lR An airllner laden with vacationers crashed and burned in a cornfield today, killing all 78 persons aboard in the nations worst single conner cial plane disaster.
 The four-engine VIVA Constel- lation disintegrated when it plowed into the muddy ground 10 miles west of Chicago's Mid way Airport minutes after it took off for Los Angeles.
 It was the third worst U. S. commercial plane accident, but both those with greater life loss were double crashes after colli- sion in the air.
 Witnesses said the plane, ap- parently smashed ii an enaer- gency landing attempt. They said there was no explosion in the air. Doctors said the first dead ex- anined bore no evidence of ex- plosion injuries but looked, rather, like auto crash victims.
 In Washington, the FBI said it had started an investigation of the possibility a bomb may have caused the crash.
 Most of the passengers were embarking on Labor Day holiday visits, Seven were members of one Los Angeles family.
 The plane left Boston at 7:4s p. m. Thursday It was enroute tc Los Angeles and had made stops at New York, Pittsburgh and Chi cago. It left Chicago at ? a. m. and crashed about 10 minutes later.
 Jerry Broz, a farmer whose house is only l5O yards from the wreckage, said he heard the plane roar overhead, then ap- parently start a turn.
 T think he was trying to land, 9 Broz said. Tt might have been done successfully with all the space here. But something was wrong"
 The thunderous explosio n caused residents of the area to look first toward the Argonne National Laboratories, the Atomic Energy Commission installation which is five miles southwest of the crash scene.
 The blast spewed burning oil and scorched the side of Broz' house, melting the plastic screens on windows
 The dead were scattered with debris over an area one-fourth by three-fourths of a mile. Scattered effects included a baby bonnet, a bathrobe, shower clogs, part ly burned dress. There were broken travelling bags and suit cases.
 As morning came, hundred or more officials and workers pre- pared to collect the bodies. A Red Cross emergency disater unit crisscrossed the field, driving stakes with numbers on them in- to the soft mud beside each body.

COTTON

NEW YORK, April 20 (APl Con-
tracts for future delivery Of cotton
worked lower this week on the New
York Cotton Exchange despite firmness
in the price of spot cotton.
Active contracts ended the week
with losses of 10 cents to 80 bale,
although the only pronounced decline
was in the distant october contract.
Its drop reflected uncertainty as to
the prospective price support program
for the 1852 crop.
The market was depressed by early
May LIQUIDATION, which was influenced
by the PROLONGED circulation OF large
number of delivery notices. This
tended to soften the entire list and.
as prices rece1ed, the. uncovering of
stop loss orders furthered the de-
clineS. lme hedge selling in new
crop months also was apparent
Short covering end trade buying
helped bolster the market and toward
the close OF the week the. market
recovered some Of its earlier losses on
light commission demand in conjunc-
ton with a Scarcity Of offerings.
Exports in the week ended Tuesday
we're estimated by the Exchange Service
Bureau at 1911 900 bales compared with
