Into 1859 Gulf Crash

ance policy.
Spears was sent to prison foI
unlawful possession of Mr.
Taylor's automobile.
The CAB acknowledged that
so far as the FBI is concerned
the case still it not closed.
The board said unknown
cause" was a relatively rare enc
for one of its Investigations. II
has determined the probable
cause in "a per cent of the fatal
airlines accidents it has probeo
over % years.
But the CAB said the analysis
of the Gulf crash rests almost
entirely upon circumStantial
evidence because the wreckage
still lies on the bottom of the
Gulf.
Military radar tracking re-
ports indicated the plane fell
into the Gulf of Mexico about
108 miles east-southeast Of New
Orleans and 80 miles east OF
Polittown, La, near the mouth
of the Mississippi River.
Some Bodies Recovered
After an exhaustive search
Coast Guard crews recovered
nine bodies. part of a 10th body,
five life RATS and debris.
The CAB said the plane was
airworthy at the time of de-
parture from Tampa, about
1880 pm. November Is.
1t added that "the crew was
competent, weather conditions
were good, and when the dis
aster struck, the flight was very
Close to being both on course
and on schedule"
The board added that il
found no operational or main
tenance factor that could rea-
sonably be linked to the acct
dent.
1t said the passenger mani
fest for the Tampa-New Or
leans flight listed SO passengers
"One of these was not aboard
although a final passenger
count showed So passengers
upon departure from Tampa, >
the board said.
Although the accident report
did not identify the passenger
who was not aboard, a CAB
spokesman said it was Spears
He added that Spears said later
he had given his ticket to Mr.
Taylor. who boarded the plane
Taylor Disappears
The CAB said Mr.. Taylor
disappeared on November is
after telephoning his employer
he would be late for work.
"A few moments before the
departure Of the flight from
Tampa, Taylor purchased a
flight insurance policy in the
amount of $37,5O0 from a coin
operated machine at Tampa
International Airport, making
his son the beneficiary and
showing his destination as
Dallas" the CAB said.
National Airlines records do
not show a ticket issued in his
name and he was not carried
on their records as a passenger.
Taylor's body was not among
those recovered"
The board said that, with the
aid of the FBI, it has thor
oughly investigated Mr.. Spears
activities in order to determine
whether they might have had
a bearing upon the accident"
I'VE have been unable to
find any such relationship" it
added.

U. S. Now in Charge

A statuS-of- forces agreement
would give South Korea, among
other things, the right to try
American servicemen for Off

military courts now have total
jurisdiction over American
servicemen under an agreement
signed in 1850. Negotiations

South Korea'S military gov

day that the United States had
agreed in principle to resume
negotiations on a StatuS-of-
forces pact. But it said Wash
