sweep over the area and told
reporters:

The chartered airliner car
RED rs persons-68 American
servicemen and their families
-and a crew Of eight.
Two dramatic races were in
progress.
In one, the rescue ships and
planes were desperately trying
to locate the missing survivors
before 10-foot waves, cold and
the darkness of another night
could snuff out their lives.
In the other efforts were
being pushed to get medical
attention to those already
picked up, many Of whom were
injured and suffering from
shock ana exposure.
The 7,004-ton Cunard
freighter Andania radioed that
she had sighted a raft from
the ditched airliner with peo-
pie aboard.
The terse message from the
Andania did not say how many
people were aboard the raft or
whether the Andania had sue
ceeded yet in snatching them
from the sea.
But the freighter's message
spurred on the many other
ships and planes in the area.
Engines COnk Out
The 9,041-ton Celerina took
survivors aboard after being
directed to the scene by 1t.
Joseph K. Lewis. rs, of Tusca-
loosa, Ala. the pilot of a United
States Air Force C-118.
1t. Lewis arrived at the
scene Just as the Super Constel-
lation was ditching. He made
an accurate fix and circled the
area-serving as a beacon for
the planes and ships rushing
to help.

Jimenez dictatorship. Many
found their way into the teach
ing profession and universities.
When the dictatorship fell, the
party achieved legality and won
nine seats in the Congress
elected in 1858.
This number is more impor-
tant than it looks. Together
with their Castroite MIR allies.
these Communist deputies help
give the opposition to Presi-
dent Betancourt q close ma
jority in Congress. In turn,
the extremist leaders have
counted upon their congress
sional immunity to prevent the
constitutional system from op-
Grating effectively against
them.
June Was Peak
But the extreme leftists made
a major miscalculation. They
underestimated their opponent
and the power he could mobil-
ize against them. From over 80
years in the underground and
in exile fighting Venezuelan
dictators, President Betancourt
knows the ins and outs Of con-
spiracy. Furthermore, his re-
forms and well-oiled organiza-
ton among workers and peas
ants give him more mass sup
port than any other demo-
cratic leader in South America.
June turned out to be the
peak of extremist tide. The
military establishment held
firm. It not only put down
marine revolts in May and
June, but also meted out stiff
jail sentences to the chief
offenders. The Betancourt poll

three British and 10 American
were en- route to the scene

1t. Lewis. pilot of the C-11S,
said:
I'VE were on our way from
Paris to Prestwick, to New
foundland and New York with
a crew of 6 and 1S passengers,
including 3 women and 2 chill
dren.
I'VE we're on our way over
the Atlantic after having re-
fueled at Prestwick when we
heard the first radio message
that the plane was in trouble.
I'VE made for her position
when she lost height, but kept
in constant radio contact.
I'VE saw her disappear be-
low the clouds a minute before
she ditched.
She gave us a last report.
We cireled round and round in
orbit for five hours.
II asked my passengers to
help in looking out for the
crashed plane.
1T was too dark and we did
not see the wreckage, but we
saw either two or three RATS.
One of the RATS had lights on
1t and 1t seemed obvious that
there were people on that one,
at least.
I'VE kept circling round at
a height of 1900 feet and be-
fore we left we say a surface
vessel making for the aircraft.
By this time other planes
were converging on the scene

Amelia Fabric Shop Is Sold
To Brother And Sister Team

AMELIA, June 21-T. c. Hill,

Mrs. Martha Barnard, of the
Patrick area. Amelia County have
recently bought the Amelia Fab
rio Center from Mrs. Ella B.
Williamson, of Hopewell. This is
a business that grew and grew

Spools of thread in one side of
the Western Auto Store operat-
ed by Mrs. Ella Giles with Mrs.
Cecil Anderson to help her, but
this was wonderful for the
Amelia County women. Now you
could buy a length of cloth, and
thread to match, without having
to go to CreWe or Farmville.
Business was good. Then Mrs.
Giles moved down and across
the street into the back room of
what used to be Perdue's Groc-
cry Store. Now with more room
the business really flouished, not
only material could the ladies
get now but blouses, hose, pat
terms, and many accessories
for sewing.
About this time, Mrs. Helen

in to help Mrs. Giles and help

Within the past few years,
the business has grown so that
