BOSTON (AP). When
Edward M. (Ted) Kennedy,
youngest brother Of the
President. agreed February

and be a $1-a-year assist
ant district attorney, he
forgot about the State re-

when the huge airliner sped in
from the coast for its approach
to the Brussels Airport. The
engine roar changed oddly and
the flight pattern looked erratic
The plane circled the field a
time or two, lowered its under
carriage, retracted it, turned
again and fell spinning to the
ground.
The machine was visible from
the airport control tower.
Series of Spins
Suddenly the plane fell in

There was a tremendous ex-

liner hit near a woods. Flaming
twisted and tangled wreckage
spewed over a wide area,
Seventy two persons on the
plane were killed. So was a
farmer who had been tilling
his cabbage patch.
From a speeding Liege-Brus-

airport many passengers saw
the disaster.
One gave this account:
THE plane appeared to be
making a normal approach to
land when, on nearing the
ground, it suddenly reared up.

From her home near the
crash scene a woman said the

noise and was much lower than
they usally are"
"JuSt Like in Wartime"
Francois de Kleermaeker, a
coal merchant, said he saw the
plane drop from the sky lust
like in wartime when planes
fell after being hit"
A motorcycle policeman
patrolling a nearby road sped
to the scene.
Dozens Of fire trucks and
ambulances, their siren S
screaming, converged. Police
quickly threw a Gordon around
the area.
An airport officer said all
the passengers in the forward
cabin had their clothes COM
pletely burned off.
1T all took place at a terrify-
ing speed" he said.
Fire Trucks Alerted
Even before the plane
crashed. fire trucks had been
alerted.

looked as if the planes con-
trolls had been lost completely, "
he said.
The fire trucks were actually

said Miss Margaret G. Ridgely
when she was informed the

said she was replaced as a

Glowing predictions for the
future had been made for a
pair of young ice skating
dancers who died in the crash.
"They are going to go a long
way" was a prediction made
recently by Dick Button, Olym-

champion.
He made the propheSy after

Convict Doctor
For Income
Tax Evasion

San Francisco - DR.. Herbert
H. Henderson, 40, was convicted
of income tax evasion by a Fed
eral jury which deliberated for
seven hours last week.
Guilty on two counts, DR.. Hen
derson faces possible imprison-
ment for ten years and a total
fine of $4,000.
Friday, July % has been set for
pre-sentence report in Federal
Court before Judge Oliver Carter.
The trial lasted two weeks. DR..
Henderson was defended by Atty.
Terry A. Francois.
During the trial the Government
contended that the defendant re-
ported a net income of $500 in
one year while buying two new
Cadillacs, one Corvette and two
mink coats.
Assistant U. S. Attorney John
Kaplan convinced the jury that
DR.. Henderson deliberately failed
to declare $16,924 in taxable in
come in 1856, on which taxes
should have been paid in the
amount of $4,733.

ed to and that the excuse of "in-
convenience" is but the diplomatic
cover for what in fact is a serious
snub.
The Verwoerd governments ar
gument is that the United States
in bid to win black African ia
vor is prepared to permit the OBJ
liberation of whites currently set
tied in this country.
But many Africans are critical
of United States policy toward
South Africa for other reasons.
They say that while the United
States may hold out the hand of
friendship to Africans in black
African countries to the north,
in South Africa the United States
gives the appearance of cooperat-
ing with the Verwoerd government.
They point to the fact that At
rican leaders are not invited to
American Embassy and diplomatic
functions and that Africans are
ignored by American businessmen,
who deal exclusively with the
white government. This, they say,
is in contrast to emissaries from
Communist countries, who express
great interest in the hardship and
hopes and thoughts of black At
ricans here.
Thus the United States is at
times under fire from both white
government and black Africans,
and the Williams snub dramatizes
the uneasy dilemma confronting
America policy makers in South
Africa.

The other new programs are:

Dean L. A. Potts of the School
of Agriculture says there is no
doubt that agricultural engineers
technicians who apply the princi-
plies of engineering to agricul-
ture-are in great demand. In ad-
dition to receiving requests from
government and private enterprise
Dean Potts says he also get job

Dean Potts says the curriculum
in agri-business-a combination OF

Mr.. du Plesis- Basson himself is
young and astute and for some
time has been anxious to capture
Mr.. Pagan as an influential leader
for his party. Now he apparently
has succeeded.
Mr.. Pagan only recently retired
as chief justice of the South At
rican Supreme Court, and although
he has made known his opposition
to various aspects of DR.. YER
words policy, he has been hest
tant about entering the political
fray.
Now, according to a weekend an
nouncement, he is taking the
plunge and will become leader of
the National Union Party with Mr..
due Pisson- Basson as the party's
national chairman.
The significance of the new de-
velopment is that both Mr.. Pagan
and Mr.. du Tlessis-Basson are
through and through Afrikaners
white South Africans whose home
tongue is Africans, derivative
of Dutch). Now it remains to be
seen whether they can build any
real support among the Afrikaners

These negotiations are continu-
ing, according to weekend an
nouncements, and Sir de Villiers
comedies that there is much COM
mon ground between the two par
ties.
For some weeks rumors have
been circulating of a merger be-
tween the United Party and the
National Union Party.
Thus far developments have not
reached this stage of complete fu-
sion but there is the suggestion
of pact between the two parties
and possibly of closer ASSOCIATION
later.
With the prospect of a general
election facing South Africa in Oc-
tober it may be that the United
and National Union Parties are
coming to some agreement on a
national front" against the gov
eminent to ensure that their ener-
gies are directed against the gov
eminent rather than divided in a
campaign against each other.
Meanwhile, still to the left of
both the United and National Union
Parties in Parliament is the Pro-
gresive Party campaigning for linn
tied franchise for nonwhites.
Whether the United and National
Union Parties jointly post a threat
to the government in the coming
election remains to be seen.

suits have indicated that DR.. Yer

U. S. Policy Assailed
Foreign Minister E rio H.Louw
in particular has been bitterly crit
ical of Mr.. Williams, and the
South African Government has
looked without enthusiasm on the
overall African policy of the Ken
nedy administration, which it in
terprets as being more liberal and
more actively pro black African
than that of the Eisenhower ad-
ministration.
The snub to Williams is a bla-
tant indication of the South At
rican Governments disapproval.
Critics on Both Sides
Officially of course the refusal
to have Mr.. Williams visit South
Africa is being cloaked in diplo-
matte language and reasons be-
ing advanced are that Parliament
is out of session with members
dispersed. Also looming in the
background is the prospect of a
general election in October. How
ever there is no doubt in the minds
of diplomats that the South At

He spoke at the Associations an

president.
He singled cut the International
Brotherhood Of Electrical Workers,
the Union of Operating Engineers,
the Carpenters and Joiners of AM

Workers, the Plumbing and Pipe
fitting Union, the Plasterersl and
Cement Masons, and the Lathers

"How shocking today that the
trade hnion movement represents
the last national bastion of Ameri-
can bigotry," he said.
The Congressman called "for ev-
cry American, with unparalleled
militancy, to strike down the bar
riers of economic blockage. We
not only want to sit at the lunch
counters, we want to work behind
it! We not only want to ride the
buses, we want to drive them"
Randolph reminded his listeners
that the Negro unemployment rate
has been almost consistently "two-
and-a-half times greater than the
white unemployment rate"
He reiterated the charge that
mot single Negro has ever been
made head of department Of the
AFL-CIO. Top flight Negro pro-

national and international unions,
are prominent by their absence"
Randolph said that "less than
one per cent of the apprentices" in
the building trade unions today,
are Negro.
He predicted that "the future of
the Negro worker, without equality
in industry, trade unions and gov
eminent, is grave, since the indus
tries in which Negro workers" have
been employed are moving toward
