JUNEAU R - Investigators gathered in Ketchikan today to begin their search for clues to the unexplained downing of charter ed DC-7 which carried 101 persons to their deaths in the North Pacific.
 Representatives of the Federal Aviation Agency and the Civil Aeronautics Board flew through here last night enroute to the air port at Annette Island where pieces of the Northwest Airlines plane are being assembled.

 Military-Chartered DC-7 Crashes in Sea

JUNEAU tR - All hope wa. abandoned Tuesday for 1O1 men women and children aboard mill. tary-chartered DC-7 which crashed Tn the sea. Search vessels reported recovering bits of bodies.
 Swift, strange disaster overlook the Northwest Orient Airlines four-engined propeller plane Mon. day 60 miles off the northern tir of the Queen Charlotte Islands in British Columbia.
 The 17th Coast Guard District here said ships at the scene radio ed that evidence indicated an i'm pact of great force"
 The disaster was the third worst in history involving predomi- nantly military personnel.
 Aboard were 58 military person. nel, p military dependents, Is Defense Dept. civilian employees and their dependents, and a North west Airlines crew of six. They were bound for Anchorage from McChord Air Force Base Near Ta- coma, Wn.
 The Coast Guard said the cutter Sorrel and the Alaska Steamship Go. freighter Cinema had both picked up mutilated parts of bodies and all kinds of debris from the ill-fated plane.
 The debris included books, per- sonal belongings, seats with the belts buckled, an VIVA menu and postcard, insulation from the plane, three uninflated liferafts and dozens of pieces of twisted, broken metal.
 The crash wiped out or left only one surviving parent of seven families. There were B women and children on the flight.
 The DC-7, under charter to the Military Air Transport Service, took off from McChord AFB at 8:3O am. PDT Monday for Elmen- dorf AFB at Anchorage.
 There was no immediate clue to what happened. Officials re- fused to speculate, but said it was swift and strange. Weather was discounted as a factor, although there was some turbulence and icing conditions at the time.
 It was considered certain some thing went wrong in the plane, itself.
 Debris recovered over a mile wide area gave one indication those aboard may have had mo- ment's warning of disaster.
 The spot was not far from where another Northwest DC-7 military charter carrying 1O3 persons de- veloped engine trouble and ditched in the Pacific last October. All were rescued.
 The worlds worst disaster in- volving mainly military personnel was in June, 1853, when 129 serv- icemen were killed in a C-124 Globemaster crash near Tokyo. Second to it was the loss of Flying Tiger Constellation in March, 1862, between Guam and the Philippines, with 93 US. mili- tary men.

Chamber Praises
 Lions Convention

President Frank Couch of the Chamber of Commerce opened tho Monday meeting with praise fol the Lions who had such a success. ful convention that few, if any complaints have been heard anc much praise given the local clut for bringing the Whitehorse Bag. pipers to Nome.
 The only complaint expressed was not against the visitors or by the visitors, but observed by pa triotic citizens who were ashamed to see the flag passing by in the Memorial Day parade, and having people of the community, both young and old not pausing and standing at attention as they should, in respect to the flag of our country.
 Don Hoover, Mayor of Nome, spoke on the status of the water and sewage project, stating that we seem to be getting lots of as- sistance in losing our bid for the project so badly needed. Cooperat- ing agencies who have promised to assist, seem more interested in finding technicalities to bypass the Nome project, stated Hoover. Wherever possible the City of Nome has called these agencies by phone and corrected misinfor- nation and proving that the paper work is complete and the project in order.
 He also observed that the money must be assigned by June 30, so there isn't much time to lose. He also advocated that people in the community with personal con- nections in Washington, D.C., or who are known to our Washing ton delegation, should write direct ly to Washington where the final division of the $450,0O0,000 is made The project is not dead, but could be if we do not keep alert.
 Sen. Pearse Walsh, who was among the veterans who observed the lack of respect to the flag, hoped that at the Festival as we'll as on the 4th of July an effort will be made to pay proper respect to the flag.
 Walsh also told of the drilling underway at Lost River and the development expected in the beryllium fields this summer with some local employment expected.
 Sen. Lester Bronson stated that work has started on the vocational school by his company and 600 tons of supplies and equipment were northbound for the project. They hope to have the framework of the building complete enough by fall to be closed in SO that the inside work can progress during the winter.
 He also reported that an engi- neer was enroute to Serpentine Hot Springs to survey the airfield and possibly renovate the state building there SO that the springs can be accessible and usable again.
 Bob Harwood reported on the Midnight Sun Festival, stating that headquarters will be set up in the. old Snack Shack shortly. He also reported on the cleanup campaign now on and urged that "all that old stuff'' should be by the roadside SO that trucks can pick it up at the city's expense during the next two weeks.

Ford Seen as Prospect
For Still Higher Posts
By ROBERT X. WALSH
star Staff Writer

Appointment Of Representa-
tive Ford Of Michigan to the
commission for investigation of
the assassination Of President
Kennedy has focused Nation
wide attention on a House
Republican already regarded as
q prospect for still higher pub
Lie office.
Congressional colleagues be-
heve President johnson made
excellent choices in selecting
Mr.. Ford and Representative
Boggs, Democrat of Louisiana,
as House members on this top
level commission. Both men
are highly respected for ability,
energy and legislative leader
ship in their respective parties.
While politics had no part in
the presidential creation of the
seven-member special commits
sion, the new and far wider
prominence given Mr.. Ford has
inevitably intensified Capitol
speculation as to his political
future.
MIR. Ford. who looks much
younger than his so years and
his is years in Congress, moved
up rapidly in House G. o. p.
ranks this year. Associates
predicted he ultimately would
be House Republican Leader
and poSsibls Speaker If Repub-
leans obtained House control.
Friends in Michigan and
elsewhere began a minor boom
some time ago for Mr.. Ford as
q possible vice presidential
nominee at the 1864 Republi-
can National Convention.
Such an effort in his behalf
now seems likely to pick up
momentum. His friends say
any move to make him Michi-
gan's favorite son candidate for
the presidential nomination
might run counter of such a
campaign for Gov. George
Romney, but that it is a posi-
Oility.

Fu|brightS Says
By the Associated Press

Senator Fulbright, Democrat
Of Arkansas. yesterday praised
French President de Gaulle as
a forceful and great leader but
criticized him for policies
which the Senator said con-
tribute to narrow nationalism.
Senator Fulbright, chairman
of Foreign Relations Commit
tee. made his observations in
a radio interview carried by
the Voice of America.
He expressed hope that his
criticism of Gen. de Gaulle
would be taken ''in proper con-
text" and added:
81 certainly recognize him as
a great man. a great figure, q
forceful and great leader
and I along with, I think. near
ly everyone in this country,
was delighted when he came
to power and rescued France
from the very chaotic political
situation. And he has rendered
great service to France.
Calls Talk Offensive
MY criticism was certainly
not of a personal nature, but
at his policy as it was first an
nounced in his famous press
conference Of last January and
is, I thought. a rather unnec-
eSsary way Of expressing his
opposition to what came to be
called the Atlantic partnership
and community and rather, I
thought, contemptuous refer
ence to the Anglo-Saxon as
though they were a species
beneath notice. And I thought
it was unnecessarily offensive.
"And then, subsequently, I
think that in all candor he has
been a very disruptive influence
upon the progress toward a
much closer association of the
Atlantic countries, and by as

Attorney General Thomas B
Ffnan has ruled invalid petit.
tons aimed at hating a bill
that would have consolidated
Maryland race tracks and ex-
tended the racing season at the
major thoroughbred tracks.
Finan said all Of the petit
tons. which bore 21,41s sigma

did not carry with them the

penditures and contributions.
Senator Paul A. Dorf OF
Baltimore, who headed the petit

Immediately said he would con-

The controversial bill added
IL days each to Bowie, Pimlico

TO Timonium's half-mile track
At the same time three smaller
tracks were closed under the
consolidation. The four tracks
are due to pay some So million
