Convict Reveals Bomb
Was on Doomed Plane

lor was on the plane through
a $37,500 insurance policy he
purchased minutes before
boarding the airliner.
Spears first told me of the
bomb in a tapped interview at
Alcatraz on Nov. II, 1860
year and a day after the plane
went down. He repeated it to
me on November 20, 1860. He
said he gave Taylor $3.50 as
a loan before he boarded the
plane.
Tells Story Of Bomb
The tape recordings of my
interviews have been ostudied
ever since by the FBI and De-
partment of Justice but not
disclosed before this time SO
that investigators would not
be hampered.
Spears told me this story:
Taylor, 61-year-old Tampa,
Fla, tire salesman who had
spent time in prison with
Spears. made the bomb at
Spears request. Spears ex-
planned he needed a bomb to
take care" of a woman wit
ness who intended to testify
against him in an abortion
trial at Los Angeles.
Spears and Taylor met in
Tampa a few days before the
tragedy and Taylor intended
to drive his own car to Dallas
before the two men went on
to the West Coast.
Spears claimed that Taylor
said he was suffering from a
sore neck and shoulder and
asked to ride on the plane.
The two drove to the Airport
shorty before midnight. Spears
went to the Airport and vail
dated the ticket. He came out
and gave the ticket to Taylor.
Taylor had a small suitcase
that could be carried on the
plane e. The bomb was in a
rectangular package on the
back seat of the car.
The last Spears saw of Tay-
lor was as Taylor walked
through the door of the Air
port Terminal carrying the
small suitcase and with the
package tucked under his arm,
Spears said Taylor had a q
hour timer to connect to the
bomb.

Let Him Wear Binders
At first, some editorial writ

particularly impressed with the

"McVey comes from a state
which for years has attempted
to legislate morality over a
wide range, from SIN kin g

One wonders whether or not

Mr.. McVey is offended, let him

Said another:

DALLAS, Tex, Feb. 8. =
A convict told me he believes a
bomb undoubtedly was aboard
the National Airlines plane that
vanished into the Gulf of Mex
leo with AZ persons aboard No
vember 16, 1859.
Robert Vernon Spears, now
in Alcatraz prison, says he
watched a confederate walk
into the airline terminal at
Tampa, Fla, with a packaged
bomb under his arm and head
for the doomed airliner.
Spears said, however, he
didn't think the bomb went off
but that something else hap
pened to the plane.
In Dallas, the FBI said it
would have no comment on
Spears statement.
The airliner, National Flight
967 using Delta equipment on
an interchange basis, was en-
route from Miami to Los An
geles with stops scheduled at
Tampa, New Orleans and
Dallas.
Plunges Into Gulf
1T made the Tampa stop, but
none of the others. One hour
and Is minutes after it cleared
the Tampa runway it disap-
peared off the scope at latitude
29.07, longitude 88.33-109
miles southeast of New Orleans
and 100 miles southwest of Mo-
bile, Ala, and plunged into the
Gulf of Mexico.
Tiny bits of wreckage and
parts of 10 bodies later were
found. Efforts to find more
were futile.
The experts disagreed on
what might have happened. A
Coast; Guard officer said he
believed the concentration of
wreckage in a small area in
dicated that an explosion
occurred at the moment of
impact. Another, an expert
enced pilot of an amphibian
search plane, said he believed
the explosion took place in
the air.

direct and indirect agents in
Latin American countries to
foster instruction against the
national governments which
fight for the dignity and indie
pendence Of their peoples"
He declared he would die for
the dignity of Argentina.
Mr.. Frondizi emphasized that
Argentina demonstrated its con-
tempt for communism in Cuba
by voting for the resolution
saying Castro-communism was
incompatible with the inter-
American system.
But he defended the Austen
ton of Argentina, Brazil, b.
livia. Chile, Ecuador and Mex
leo at Punta del Este from
voting sanctions against Prime
Minister Fidel Castro's regime.
He said such a vote might dam
age the principle of noninter-
vention and stir up political
turmoil which will lend itself
to a continuation of the most
aggressive activities of right
wing and left-wing extremists. +"
Despite the cold war and the
perils of international Com
munist penetration in Latin
America, it is not the fortunes
Of Ffdel Castro that are at
stake, Mr.. Frondizi declared.
He said at stake is "the future
Of a group Of underdeveloped
nations which have decided
freely to seek a better stand
ard of life for their peoples.
Asserting Argentina had
upheld traditional American
rights at Punta del Este, the
president declared:
&c. We do not approve
the conduct of the Cuban gov
eminent which represents
just the opposite of a dem
ocratic and Christian way of
life in Argentina. But we
wanted to defend all of
America from the dangerous
precedent Of damaging, even
in an isolated case, the perma-
nent principles Of international
right"
To army, navy and air force
demands that Foreign Minister
Miguel Angel Carcano resign
for his stand at Punta del
Este, Mr.. Frondizi declared
that Mr.. Carcano was only
carrying, out presidential
orders.
Mr.. Frondizi denounced in
biting terms what he called
the conspiracy Of "interna-
tional reactionaries" through
out the world. He said in
Argentina, these elements, in
Guiding some politicians, use
any pretext to seek the over
throw of the government.
Roosevelt Foes Hit
I'm the United States" he
said, certain of the press &C
cuse President Kennedy of ap-
peaSement and accuse him of
giving too much consideration
to the position Of Argentina,

He said the Architects of
this wirld-wide conspiracy are

same ones which fought Frank
lin Roosevelt until his death,
the same ones which mock at
the idealistic and democratic
concepts of the young President

TOPEKA, Kans., April IL.
P).-Alf NJ. Landon. remem-

campaign-this time for the
program of a Democratic
President.
His work is in behalf of
President Kennedy'S request
for tariff legislation.
Mr.. Landon, active and
hearty at "a, says the tariff
problem transcends political or
normal business interests. The
future of the free world is at
stake. he says, and it is the one
sure way to take the initiative
from Communist nations. I
Tonight he will preside at a
conference of eight Kansas
leaders on the tariff problem.
The meeting on "our stake in
world affairs" is identified as
"in support Of the Presidents
tariff legislation now pending in
Congress.
Mr.. Landon has supported
the program in various speeches
including an appearance be-
fore the National Press Club
in Washington.
He is urging Congress to give
the President authority to lower
tariffs acroSS-the-board to deal
with the new European Com
mon Market.
Mr.. Landon hopes to convince
the rest of the country that
Kansas and the Midwest, gen.
orally considered iSolationist
and conservative, is leading the
way in support of the program.
The meeting tonight" he
said, brings together for the
first time in many years, on
the same stage in Kansas, the
heads of business, labor and
agriculture in support Of the

Mr.. Landon believes the
