UItimotum Raises Fears
For Hostages in Bolivia

LA PAZ, Bolivia, Dec. 9 (AP)
Communicated tin miners
holding four Americans among
81 hostages today gave the gov
eminent "a hours to free two
arrested Communists or "Suf-
fer the consequences" The
ultimatum raised fears for the
hostages safety.
The Federation of Mine
Workers sent their word to the
government by way of radio
trans missions from their
strongholds more than $50
miles southeast of this capital.
Troop Buildup Defied
The miners, led by leftist
Vice President Juan Lechin, de-
fled a government troop build
up and an offer from President
johnson of full United States
assistance to the government to
win freedom for the hostages,
held since Friday night.
The miners broadcast said
union wanted the release of the
two Communist union heads
arrested by the government
during the day Friday.
The leaders, Irineo Pimental
and Federico Escobar, were ar
rested on a court order in con-
nection with union agitation
against a government crack
down on union power in the
operation of the mines, Bolivia s
main source of income.
The broadcast said the union
was giving the government the
ultimatum to resolve the prob
lem of the detained union
leaders, and if it does not do
so, it will have to suffer the
consequences"
The broadcasts did not spell
out what the consequences
would be but sources here said
they could mean a threat to
the safety of the hostages. The
miners originally promised the
hostages would not be harmed.
The government has said
that under no circumstances

Jet Explosion Kills 81
In Storm Over EIkton
Possibility
Of BOMBING
BeineProbed

The explosion of a Pan
American World Anyways jet in
a rainstorm over the Elkton,
Md, area last night sent 81
persons to their deaths as
flaming wreckage showered the
ground from 5000 feet.
The Boeing TOT airliner,
bound for Philadelphia. had
left Friendship International
Airport, near Baltimore, only
10 minutes before. At Friend
ship "a passengers had been
discharged after flight from

sengers, mainly Pennsylvanians
and Puerto Ricans, when the
disaster struck at 8:58 pm.
Eight crew members also were
aboard.
B. r. Allen. Deputy director
of the Bureau of Safety Of the
Civil Aeronautics Board, said
today that there probably
was an explosion before the
plane crashed"
Blast Before Crash
Mr.. Allen said the POSSIBLE
ity of a bombing will be in
vestigated." He was not sure.
he said, whether the explosion
was the initial cause of the
crash. The plane might have
been struck by tightening. he
added.
Lightning could have caused
the plane to go down, Mr.. AL
len added, by striking a vul-
nerable spot on the craft.
But he noted that there have
been cases in which planes
have suffered lightning strikes
and have not gone down.
No one from the Washing
ton area is believed to have
been on the plane.
The tragedy occurred while
the plane, Flight 2l4, was in a
holding pattern near the New

clearance to land at Philadel-

Dealers in November sold
about Is per cent fewer Stude-

1862 period.
In recent years, the COM
pany has branched out into
refrigerators, laundry appli-
ances, farm implements and
other lines by acquisition Of
going concerns. It now has
IL divisions.
These operations-all out
side car manufacturing-are
reported profitable. In 1862,
they accounted for $172 mil
lion In sales out of an over
all total volume of 1855 million.
The stock market greeted
the news as a favorable turn.
On the New York Stock Ex-
change, Studebaker shares rose.
In November. Sherwood Eg-
bert, 43, was forced out as
Studebaker president after DIFF
ferences with the board of
directors hea ded by Mr..
Guthrie.
Byers Burlingame, SO, was
named to succeed Mr.. Egbert,
being advanced from vice
president-finance Mr.. Burlin-
game started in the auto bust
ness in 1925 with Packard
Motor Car Co.
He stayed on after the Stude-
aker-Packard merger of 1854,
became controller in 1857 and
a vice president in 1860. The
merged company dropped Pack
ard from its name last year.
The company had its most
successful post-merger year in
1859 when its Lark compact
models sold well and net in
come jumped to $28 million.
Harold E. Churchill was presi-
dent at the time.
The Canadian car plant was
built in 1941 for war produc-
ton, and was acquired by
Studebaker in 1916. Since 1948,
Studebaker has turned out
10000 autos there.
About TOO persons are en-
ployed at the Hamilton plant.
In the nine months ended
September 80, Studebaker suf-
fered a deficit of $9,832,135. 1t

About lis House members
signed a petition within an
hour after it was filed today
in an effort to force the civil
rights bill out of the Rules
Committee.
This was far from the 218
signatures necessary to bypass
the committee and bring the
bill directly to the House floor
for action. Some sponsors of
the petition, nevertheless, pre-
dicted that, during the next
few days, it would obtain many
more signatures and at least
be a persuasive instrument to
hasten committee hearings in
January.
AS soon as the Judiciary
Committee Chairman Celler
filed the petition in the House
chamber at the start of today's
session, many members lined
up in a side aisle to sign it.
BY far the largest number were
Democrats, although Republic
can Representative Fulton of
Pennsylvania and Telly of
Washington were in the first
group.
Confusion Charged
Southern Democratic mem
bers not only stayed away from
the desk where the petition
lay but one of them, Represen-
tative Colmer, Democrta of
Mississippi, made a formal
point of order that the we'll of
the House near the desk be
cleared of all members. He
charged that there was too
much confusion and disorder
in the chamber.
Speaker Mccormack assured
him that no disorder or undue
confusion would be permitted.
