A Sabena spokesman in
Teheran said the planes radio
compass went out of order, the
pilot asked the Russians for
permission to land at Yerevan
and the fighters were escort

Teheran manager contradicted
this. In a statement conform

Airport sources at Teheran
said the pilot, Comdr. Freddy

ulated that the pilot had

act of revenge as the regime
run by the dictator's political
heirs collapsed.
Meanwhile, the chief of the
armed forces, Maj. Gen. Pedro

SANTO DOMINGO, Jan. 9
(AP).-The new Dominican Re-
public government is reported
seeking the extradition of Ra-
fael Trujillo, jr., and two top
aides in connection with the
disappearance and presumed
death Of six men held for the
assassination of Gen. Trujillo's
father.
The semiofficial newspaper
La Nacion published the report
yesterday. It could not be i'm
mediately confirmed.
Gen. Trujillo, son Of the die
tator who ruled this country
for 81 years until his death last
May, was last reported in Paris.
The two aides mentioned by the
newspaper, Luis Leon and Este
vez Rubirosa, also are believed
in Paris.
No ExtraditiOn Treaty
In Paris, the French foreign
ministry said no extradition
treaty exists between the two
countries. In theory the Do
minican government could ask
for custody of Gen. Trujillo
and his associates, and France
could decide the case on its
merits. However, France has
a long tradition of granting
political asylum, and if the
three could argue successfully
that they were sought for po-
litical reasons, they probably
would be allowed to stay.

November 10. Their families

Shore of Maryland.
Mr.. johnson said last week
that he and Baltimore At
torney Harry Adelberg han
died the legal work involved in
setting up land companies
which owned the Linda City
and Leisure City tracts in
Maryland and Virginia. These
properties have been linked
with First Continental and
First Colony Savings & Loan
Associations.
j. Kenneth Edlin, whom the
Government has described as
holding the controlling interest
in both savings associations, is
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-01-09

awaiting sentence on a charge
of mail fraud in connection
with promotional activities of
First Colony.
Edlin pleaded mo contest" to
the charge in Baltimore Fed
eral Court.
First Continental was placed
in receivership last week by
Maryland officials who charged
that the association was being
operated in an unsafe and
unsound" manner. First Colony
was indicted along with Edlin
on the mail fraud charge.
Mr.. Adelberg, with whom Mr..
Johnson maintains a law office
in Baltimore. represents First
Continental in a civil suit in
volving a 100000 Treasury note
which a New York man claims
was stolen from his office and
which was caShed by First Con-
tinental.
Office Rented
First Continental rented an
office for a few months from
Mr.. johnson. The Congress-
man received some fees from
First Continental which he
said represented payments
from an escrow account set up
at the association. He said the
fees represented payments for
work he did on the Linda City
and Leisure City projects.
Mr.. johnson claimed last
week that his only association
with Mr.. Edlin has been "at
arms length"
Mr.. johnson was not avail
able for comment today, but
his administrative assistant,
Manuel Buarque, said the con-
gresham has been trying to
associate himself from Edlin
and his activities.
Mr.. Buarque said Mr.. john
son doesn't like "this business
of being linked with him
(Edlin)" and thinks it is "out-
rageous that every time some
thing comes up the congress-
man is put into it,"
Among the matters being in
vestigated by the Justice De-
partment is the 100000 Treas
ury note suit in the Baltimore
court. According to the suit,
the note was bought by First
Continental from a Ben
Drano."
Ben Drano was identified as
Benjamin Dranow, an associate
of James Hoffa, president OF
the TeamSters Union.
The suit claims the Treasury
note was discovered to be miss
ing from a New York brokers'
office in August, 1859.
It was reported that DranoW's
was just one of many out-of-
State names and interests
which prompted the Justice
Departments probe.

Berlin Subject
OF Macmillan
And Adenauer

BONN, Germany, Jan. 8
FAP) British Prime Minister
Macmillan met with Chancel-
lor Konrad Adenauer today and
informants said they would dis
cuss a new United States-Brit-
ish proposal for an East-West
standstill agreement to take the
heat off the Berlin crisis.
Mr.. Macmillan and the West
German chancellor opened the
first of several sessions in their
day-long talks with only inter-
prefers present. Their foreign
ministers and other aides were
set to join them later.
No agenda was set, but Mr..
Macmillan and Mr.. Adenauer
were expected to take up the
Briton's December meeting with
President Kennedy in Bermuda,
Britain's negotiations to enter
the six-nation European Com
mon Market, and Britain's de-
sire that the Bonn government
offset some of the $196 million
annual maintenance cost of the
81 ,000-man British army Of the
Rhine.
Alternative Proposal
British officials said Mr.. Mac
milan brought from his Ber-
muda meeting with Mr.. Ken
nedy a tentative United States
British alternative should cur
rent attempts to achieve a
negotiated settlement of the
Berlin crisis fail.
| Mr.. Adenauer indicated yes

temptS in Moscow by United
States Ambassador Llewellyr
Thompson to set up an East
West negotiation on Berlin are
getting nowhere. This boil
stored reports that the Western
allies are searching for another
way out of the crisis.
The reported United States
British alternative would have
both sides accept-with or with.
out explicit agreement - the
present situation in divided
Berlin, divided Germany anc
Central Europe for the fore.
Seeable future. Each side
would agree not to resort tx
force and to avoid provocative
actions in the two parts Of
