 Its a Miracle" Pair Survived Plane Crash

WATSON LAKE, VT. R - Helen Klaben and Ralph Flores lived 50 days in Canada's frozen wilderness after their plane crash ed Feb. A. A man who inspected the wreckage says it's a wonder they even lived through the crash.
 T can't understand why the gas tank didn't catch fire imme- diately," said helicopter pilot Chuck Ford Sunday. Ford flew team of Canadian Department of Transport investigators to the scene.
 He said the forward gasoline tank, which was full when the plane crashed, was crushed. The engine was twisted under the Wreckage and both wings were torn off. One wing could not be 1 found.
 "It's a miracle they lived" said Ford.
 The plane rammed a mountain side near the Yukon-British Col umbia border about 75 miles from here. Miss Klaben and Flores were rescued last week. She is recuper- ating at home in Brooklyn, NY, and he is recovering in a hospital here.
 Miss Klaben has said she kept diary during part of their ordeal Alex Van Bibber of Watson Lake, Northern Affairs Dept. employe who visited the scene with the investigators, said there was no sign of diary.
 Earlier, Mounted Police officers who visited the scene were re- ported to have picked up brief case and taken it to Whitehorse. They refused to say what was in it.

Graham Cracker Ration Thumbed At

CARTHAGE, Mo. R - Man, I don't think I ever want to see another graham cracker"
 Michael Randall, 12, of Joplin, Mo-, summed up the feelings of 922 Boy Scouts who stumbled out of a Civil Defense shelter Sunday after a 36-hour survival test.
 The boys were supposed to live on CD survival crackers. But there weren't enough, so graham crack CTS were issued - eight to a meal, with only water to wash them down.
 Ronnie Hailey, II, Joplin, was asked what he got out of the test.
 "A weak stomach" he replied.
 The shelter was the unfinished basement of Our Lady of Ozarks College. During the test, the boys earned merit badges in first aid, and took courses in pathological monitoring and communications.

Crash Survivor Has Five Toes Amputated

NEW YORK R - Helen Klaben, who spent seven weeks stranded in the frozen wilds of the Yukon, had the five toes of her right foot amputated today.
 The Brooklyn girl, 21, was found a week ago, along with Ralph Flores of San Bruno, Calif., the pilot of plane that crashed while they were flying over rugged country.
 When Miss Klaben was found, the toes were gangrenous and it was thought at that time that they would have to be amputated.
 A spokesman at Columbia Pres byterian Hospital, where the oper- ation was performed, said the girl was in good condition, and would be hospitalized for several weeks.
 Miss Klaben also will receive treatment for a small ulcerated area on her right heel but no sur gery is anticipated.

The final decision on whether
Mr. Kennedy will visit Rome
