Gas Cleared
In Crash of
Troop Plane
By the Associated Press

Government investigators
have ruled out fuel contamina-
ton as a possible cause Of the
crash Of a troop-laden airliner
in the North Atlantic Septem-
Der %, it was learned today.
Informed sources said the
Bureau Of Standards had ana
lyzed the aviation gasoline
supply at Gander, Newfound-
land, where the Flying Tiger
Airline Super Constellation re-
fueled on a Europe-bound
flight. 1t ditched 500 miles
east Of Ireland with three
engines out.
The experts also checked the
fuel supplies Of two planes
that got gasoline there shortly
before, and Of three that re-
fueled later.
They SAID they found no
foreign substances that would
clog fuel lines. Neither did
they find evidence of water in
the gasoline. One theory had
been that fuel lines could have
been clogged by ice.
OF the rs persons aboard the
military charter flight, the
pilot and two other crew mem
bers and IS passengers sur
Vived. The bodies of three
crew members and nine pas
sengers were recovered. Bodies
Of two crew members and IA
passengers have not been
found.
The Civil Aeronautics Board
is expected to conduct a formal
hearing on the accident in mid
November.

High Schools
May Lose
Army ROTC

The Army ROTC program ir
high schools across the country
is being reviewed and its elimi.
nation may be recommended.
Alfred B. Fit, Deputy Under
secretary OF the Army, said De-
Tense Secretary Mcnamara had
asked for a report on the value
of the SIS million-a-year pro-
gram.
He said no decision had been
reached yet, but a report to
Secretary Mcnamara should be
made soon.
Another Pentagon source said
elimination of the program was
one of the possibilities under
consideration.
A major consideration in re-
viewing the program is the po-
litical impact Of a decision to
drop it. The ROTC program
has strong support among vet
Grams and patriotic groups and
is a traditional part Of the cur
riculum at many high schools.
No Change Seen Here
Possible changes presumably
would not affect the National
Defense Cadet Corps program
in IA public high schools and
st. Johns College High School
in the District. These pro-
grams are supported almost
entirely by the school depart
ment and st. Johns rather
than by the Defense Depart
ment.
In the public schools, SOL
boys participate in a program
under the direction Of Col. Will
liam E. Barkman. The pro-
gram is compulsory for boys IA
and older but the school princi-
pal may excuse a boy at his
discretion.
The cadets provide their own
uniforms. The Government
supplies weapons, maintenance
and training materials. The
IA military instructors, Col.
Barkman, and two clerks gen.
eral are paid by the school de-
partment. The instructors are
Reserve, National Guard or re-
tired officers, but none of them
is on active duty.
Congress to eGt Request
Boys who successfully COM
plete the program may be ex-
cused from the first year of
ROTC service If they go to a
college where military training
is required.
The Defense Department in
tends to ask Congress when it
meets in January to drop the
compulsory ROTC program at
the Nations land grant col
leges. Such training is now
required in the first two years
and is optional in the final two
years Of college. Under the
proposed change, a two-yeaI
program would be offered to q
selected group Of students.

Anna C Suffers Swamping Mishap

Considerable water damage re- suited when the Anna c, fishing vessel owned by Emil c. Christof ferson Sr., of Kodiak was swamped Thanksgiving Day as she hoped to reach Anton Larsen Bay to get out of a heavy blow.
 According to William Damery, ice cut through at the water line and swamped the vessel. It was pumped and plans made for its return for further repairs to Ko- diak.

Seward Man Has Idea For Kodiak Crab Fishermen

An unidentified Seward man has a suggestion for Kodiak fish ermen who have been losing their crab pots.
 In a letter to the editor in the Sunday, Nov. g, edition of the Daily Alaskan Empire, Juneau, this writer says:
 "FOr the past month I have been reading about the Russian trawlers picking up crab pots of American crab fishermen, and there is considerable sounding off by political figures.
 "TO me this is no problem. All the crab fishermen would have to do is boOby trap certain marked pots with a light explo. sive, just enough to ruin the traWl but not enough to be audi. ble or show any disturbance on the surface.
 "This should be easy in the depth of water where the crab fishermen are fishing"
 The writer's name was with held from the letter.

consequences far-reaching, but
because of their variety and the
fact that they may rot immedi-
ately appear they may not be
attributed to their true cause.
In connection with the nearly
universal use of insecticides
that are liver poisons, 1t is in
teresting to note the sharp rise
in hepatitis that began during
the l950's and is continuing O
! fluctuating climb. Cirrhosis also
is said to be increasing.
While it is admittedly diff
cult, in dealing with human
beings rather than laboratory
animals, to prove" that cause
A produces effect B, plain COM
mon sense suggests that the
relation between a soaring rate
of liver disease and the pre-
valence Of liver poisons in the
environment is no coincidence,
Whether or not the chlorin-
ated hydrocarbons are the pri-
mary cause, it seems hardly
sensible under the circum-
stances to expose ourselves TO
poisons that have a proven abil-
ity to damage the liver and so

The whole problem Of peSti-

complicated by the fact that a
