The jets were all members of one flight. They fell in Richmond, Ind., area within 25 miles of each other. 'Three of the pilots were killed. In all, nine Air Force and Navy pilots died in the crashes through- jout the U. S. yesterday. Six other airmen lost their lives in three separate crashes yesterday. Some residents in the Richmond area, seeing the broken planes tum- bling out of the sky, thought there was an enemy bombing raid. The one-man jét fighters —which were {lying between 500 and 600 miles an hour when they crashed— cost abcut $275,000 each. Two of the five pilots whose planes crashed suffered injuries. ‘Two others rode their planes to crash landings, escaping uninjured. The fifth pilot parachuted safely from his falling Thunderjet. There was no official explanation of the mishaps. The eight ill-fated Jjets were among 34 in the second flight of a 7l-plane group en route to Selfridge Field, Mich.

Robert McCormick, potent publisher of the Chicago Tribune, is working on some secret strategy which he hop- es will throw the presidency of the United States into his lap in 1952, On the surface McCormick gives all signs of backing his good friend Sen. Bob Taft. Actually, however, McCormick favors his able, up-and- coming protege, Sen. Everett Dirk- sen, the recently elected solon from Pekin, Il McCormick’s strategy in this sit- uation is quite simple. At the Chic- ago convention in '52, he will work for a deadlock between the two leading candidates—probably Taft and Eisenhower. Once he's mai- euvered the convention into a stale- mate, he will pass out word that the only way to break the deadlock is to nominate Senator Dirksen. If this deadlock does develop, Dirksen might have a chance of securing the nomination. He's a well known and well-liked figure in top Republican circles. And since the convention will be in Chicago, there’s bound to be a lot of Dirk- sen support in the ever-vocal gall- eries. Note — The irony is that Dirk- sen by himself would make a good president; Dirksen bogged down by Chicago Tribune policies would not. China Lobby ‘When Sen.

OF ALASKA FAIRBANKS, Alaska, June 9—(® Dr. Terris Moore, president of the University of Alaska, has confirmed reports that two university students lowered the American flag and tried to raise the Red flag during com- mencement exercises May 21 at which Governor Warren of Cali- fornia spoke. One of the students, identified during a chase afterward, was later expelled. His identity was not dis- closed. The identity of the other student still is not known, Dr. Moore said the faculty had been forewarned that certain stu- dents would try to “ball up” the exercises. Members of the Univers- ity’s Reserve Officers Training Corps were stationed on the cam- pus to watch for any demonstrations or “overt acts.” An ROTC guard saw an attempt to raise the Red flag and chased two offenders. Both escaped but one was recognized in the pursuit. Dr. Moore said the two were part of a small number of radical or | prank-playing students that “can | be found on any university campus.” Meanwhile radio station KFAR here reported another act of van- dalism during the commencement exercises. Manager Al Bramstedt said some- one deliberately cut the radio trans- mission line prior to the Warren speech, preventing the California governor’s talk from being broad- cast. "LUCKY" LUCIANO | [N TROUBLE, ITALY| ROME, June 9 —#— Italian po- | lice accused Charles “Lucky” Lu-| ciano, reputed czar of the U. S. un- derworld, of currency smuggling to- day. | Officials said the exiled vice lord, | who was released from prison in the | United States and deported to Italy in 1946, fell into a police dragnet | fishing for a narcotics gang. | Police said, however, they had not | established any definite connection | between Luciano and the gang. They | did, however, discover that he had | smuggled $57,000 and an American automobile into Italy, a police an- nouncement said. | Luciano must pay five times the amount of ‘the currency and the value of the automobile as a fine. If he does not pay this fine, police said, he will be arrested. NEW PILOT HERE | Mr. and Mrs. J. B.

Acheson made the announcement to the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations committee after declaring the State Department has assembled considerable “hearsay in- formation” which, if correct, indi- cates that some of the China group’s activities “are not in accordance with the law.” The two Senate committees are investigating Far Eastern policy and the dismissal of MacArthur. The cabinet officer reported to the inquiry group after Senator McMahon had asked him to take up the China lobby supporting Chiang Kai-Shek’s Nationalists with President Truman, ESKIMOS CELEBRATE BIG WHALE CATCH; INFLATION CAUGHT FAIRBANKS, Alaska, June 9 — (M-—Prosperity and plenty have come to Alaska’s Arctic Eskimos. They are celebrating an unprececented catch of 11 whales. They caught seven at Point Bar- row, the northernmost tip of the continent, and four near Kotzebue, northeast of Bering Srait. They have caught infiation, too. At present inflated prices, whale meat, muk tuk among us 45 iing i a ‘Qoliar 4 poUnd in Es- kimo villages where defense proj- ects and oil exploration work has provided the natives with plenty of cash. At those rates, a whale is esti- mated worth about $10,000. Wien Alaska Airline and others will fly the native delicacy to vil- lages all over the Arctic for sale to eager Eskimos. The Eskimo viilage at Point Hope has scheduled a “npbikatuk” to celebrate the bonanza. That's a whing-ding whale feast. JAPANESE PEACE TREATY BOGS DOWN LONDON, June 9 —(®— Special presidential envoy John Foster Dulles confirmed today that west- ern power talks on a Japanese peace treaty have bogged down. Dulles declined to comment on the differences that have arisen but in- formed diplomatic sources reported yesterday they involved a French suggestion that the Western Allies defer making a final peace treaty with Japan. Dulles has been discussing the proposed treaty settlement with British officials. Presumably while in Paris he will attempt to talk the French out of their new idea. He is then scheduled to return to London to round off his discussions with the British. i e TSI ¥ UNION OIL MAN HERE R, S. Bond, Union Oil Co. repre- sentative from Seattle, is at the Baranof hotel.

Pair Know Top British-Am- erican Secrefs-May Be - Behind Iron Curfain LONDON, June 9 —(#— The huni for two missing top-drawer Bri diplomats widened suddenly from France to Italy today after the For- eign Office disclosed a telegram to a relative of one of them was sent from Rome. i A British embassy official in Rome said that even though the message did come from the Italian city it was not conclusive eviden the missing men had been there. Nevertheless, some French police of~ ficials, after a thorough combing of Paris, expressed belief the men, are not in Paris and may have gone to Italy. Know Secrets Both diplomats — Guy Burgess, a former British embassy official in Washington; and Donald D. Mac- Lean, head of the Foreign Office. American section — know high-level British-American secrets, Fear has} been expressed in London and in Washington that they may have ducked behind the Iron Curtain. The incident put a new strain on g British-American relations. A Foreign Office spokesman said there would be a statement on_the] &5 disappearance in the House of Com- mons on Monday, probably by For- gh eign Secretary Herbert Morrison. The Forelign Office said the Ro RESAEETWES W0 BUrgess’ A Mrs. J. R. Bassett, and related that Burgess, 40, and a bachelor, was going on a “long Mediterranean holiday.” It was sent Thursday. Missing Since May Two other messages, to MacLean's wife and mother, were sent from Paris Wednesday. The later two were reported sent by a mysterious third person . .. the men have been missing since May 25, MacLean's 38th birthday. Yesterday the Foreign Office im- plied all three messages came from France. It took the view that the telegrams were authentic, although the originals were not in the hand- writing of Burgess or MacLean. May Have Split The latest news gawe rise to a theory that the two may have split up, although they left England to- gether. Rome police said they had been unable to find any trace of Burgess there. They said they were trying to determine whether the Burgess telegram actually was sent by him or by someone else. Thousands of detectives and in- telligence agents were engaged in the hunt for Burgess and MacLean. It bid fair to be the biggest man- hunt in European history. Grand Jury Indics Representative from Iruman’_s Distrid KANSAS CITY, June 9 —@— Leonard Irving, Democratic repre- sentative in Congress from Presi- dent Truman's home district, was named today in two Federal grand Jury indictments charging use of labor union funds in the 1948 elec- tion campaign. Irving, president and business manager of the International Hod Carriers, Building and Construction Union, AFL, Local No. 264, was named alone in one of the indict- ments, Named with him in the second indictments were the union and Roy E. Livingston, financial secretary and treasurer of the local The indictments, each containing 12 counts, were returned to Federal Judge Albert L. Rooves after the jury had heard Stanley Cole, Chi- cago, who was Representative Irv- ing’s campaign manager in the 1948 election.

The King County Blood Bank team, which arrived on the Aleu- tian, found three unscheduled donors waiting at the Elks hall be- 'fore the doors were opened at 9 a.m. They were Mr. and Mrs. Vance Blackwell and Ted Theobald. Blackwell is with the Juneau office of the Bureau of Public Roads and Theobald, who lives in Anchorage, said he would not be in Anchorage to donate blood and wanted to do- nate here. Mrs. Keith Wildes, who was sched- uled to give the first pint of blood in Juneau, was on hand promptly at 9. She represented the Pioneers of Alaska, which organization is active, and has been active, in pro- moting the Juneau blood bank. Dr. T. D. Patel, who is assistant to Dr. J. Czajkowski, head of the King County team, said that the quarters at Elks hall, which were equipped for blood giving by St. Anne’s hospital, were the finest he had seen so far. Many times in their work in King County and else- where, he said, rooms are dark, with straight wooden chairs and uncom- fortable cots. At Elks hall there are eight hospital beds and eight neat cots, leather upholstered chairs and ‘cloth-covered tables at which coffee, cookies and cake are being served. The beds are continually in. use. [Forty pints are being taken an hour, was planned. Out of the first forty only one appointee failed to oW up. It is anticipated they will con- ue to show up in such numbers ifitst 9 pun., when the last pint is taken. In Anchorage, such interest has been shown that, instead of stay- ing with the Aleutian for the trip to the westward, an Army plane is being sent to Juneau to fly the King County Blood Team to Anchorage tomorrow so they can start work there Monday instead of Tuesday. The quota of 1,000 pints for Anch- orage has already over 1,500 regis- trants, CONFESSION 1S REPUDIATED AS RUBBISH, VOGELER WASHINGTON, June 9, — (® — Robert A. Vogler has repudiated as rubbish the “confession” of sa- botage and spying against Hungary he said he made during 17 months in a Communist prison. The American business man fréed April 28 when the State De- partment complied with Hungarian government demands, detailed for the first time his prison ordeal to the National Press Club. “There comes a time when a per- son is faced with the utter futility of not complying with their de- mands,” Vogeler said of his cap- tors. “He believes that he is aban- doned, that he will be killed in any case, that an alleged confession will appear anyway—so he signs the rubbish placed before him.” Vogeler, discharged from the Bethesda Naval Hospital on June 1 after nearly a month of treat- ment, gave a chronological account of the prison ordeal which began with his arrest Nov. 18, 1949 by Communist police. He was an as- sistant vice president of the Inter- national Telephone & Telegrapl Co. Thrust into the secret police prison at Budapest, he said his tirst 78 hours were passed under repeated grilling and without sleep. Then he collapsed.

Douglas MacArthur and Secre- tary of State Acheson clashed at long range today over Far Eastern policies. MacArthur, ousted Pacific com- mander, denounced as a “prevari- cation” any intimation he favored in December 1945 a move for a coal- ition of Communists and National- ists in China. Acheson, testifying before senators for the eighth day on policies in connection with MaeArthur's dis- missal, challenged a contention by MacArthur's aide that Washington wanted U. S. troops withdrawn from Korea last winter “and made a scapegoat for some political ad- vantage.” MacArthur said in a telegram from New York to Senator Know- land that U. S. eiforts to “force” the Nationalist government in China “into a political alliance with the Communists” was “one of the great- est blunders in American diplomatic history, for which the free world is now paying in blood and disaster.” Defends Coalition Acheson has defended the 1945- 46 efforts of Secretary of Defense Marshall to bring about a coalition government in China. Acheson gave the committee a Dec. 7, 1048 message signed by MacArthur, Adm. Ray- mond Spruance and Lt. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer urging U. 8. aid for China as a basis for negotiation “to bring together and effect a com- promise between the major oppos- ing groups in order to promote a unified China.” Knowland wired MacArthur that this “implies that you favored a coalition government between Chi- nese Communists and Republic of China.” Sharply Worded Reply In a sharply worded reply, Mac- Arthur said “any inference drawn from anything I have ever said or done that I sponsored a compromise which would favor the forces of Communism at the expense of the forces of freedom and would effect a political coalition of such dia- metrically opposed and irreconcil- iable forces is a prevarication withs out color of factual support.” The exchange between Knowland and MacArthur was not gone into immediately when the hearing re- sumed today, but on another mat- ter Acheson said that a statement by Major Gen. Courtney Whitney, MacArthur's aide, on May 11, was not based on facts. Evacuation Issue Senator Sparkman noted that Whitney had said that until last January 13 — the day President Truman sent a letter to MacAr- thur — “MacArthur believed Wash- ington officials wanted our forces evacuated from Korea and made a scapegoat for some political ad- vantage.” Sparkman said Whitney called the January 13 message “the gov- ernment’s first clear statement to MacArthur to hold in Korea.” “Do you know of any facts that would warrant any such statement as that?” Sparkman asked Acheson. “No, sir; there are no facts to my knowledge, and I would go a con- siderable way in saying that no such facts exist,” the secretary of state replied. “Nobody here you know of wanted Korea evacuated and the 8th Army made a scapegoat?” Sparkman pressed. “Not in the slightest degree what- ever,” Acheson replied.

Over 180 members of the NEA, in- cluding wives, reached Juneau this morning on time at 7 o'clock, aboard the Aleutian and were greeted by Juneauites making a general wel- coming committee.

They and many other editors visited the offices of the Daily Alaska Empire. At 11 o'clock the tour party mem- bers boarded busses and cabs for the Mendenhall Glacier and the Auk Bay recreation area where the Juneau Chamber of Commerce served lunch. The party is due to return to Juneau at 2 p.m. to visit the Terri- torial Museum and local shops. The Aleutian is scheduled to sail westward this evening at 6 o'clock.

NEW YORK, June 9 —(P— Some steamship companies here are re- ported concerned over a possible strike next Friday when contracts with three CIO maritime unions ex- pire. No progress was reported yester- day wheri the National Maritime Union met with representatives of 40 Atlantic and Gulf Coast ship owners under the auspices of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. The other two CIO groups — the Marine Engineers Beneficial Asso- ciation and the American Radio Association — have similar meet- ings scheduled for -Monday and ‘Tuesday respectively. Joseph Curran, NMU president, said yesterday that if negotiations continue “with the present do-noth- ing attitude of the owners, there is a strong possibility that the pres- ent contract will expire without a new one being signed.” The union is seeking a 25 per cent wage increase and has asked the ‘Wage Stabilization Board for the rise, which breaks the current ceil- ing.

A pooled dispatch from the West- ern front said the Reds were fall- ing back toward Kumsong, 17 miles due east of Pyonggang and about 28 miles north of the 38th Parallel. Censorship obscured exact Allied positions. But the report said 8th U. 8. Army forces captured two ridges against decreasing Red op- position. One Allied gain of more than a mile was reported. Pyonggang is the northern tip of the triangle, the building ' area where the Reds grouped forces for abortive offenses against the UN:.* Chorwon and Kumhwa are the triangle's southern anchors. Both were directly threatened by the Al- lies. The front line report quoted Al- lied officers as saying the Reds probably were abandoning Chor- won to the Allies polsed in the hills just south of the town. Loss for Reds ; If Chorwon falls, the Commun- ists would lose @ vital east-west road and control of the long Pyong- gang valley. Allied artillery and tanks could make the valley un- tenable for the Reds, and drive them as far back as Wonsan, about 85 air miles north of 38. The advancing Allies found ono pile of 278 dead Chinese soldiers. Some of them were wearing pieces of American uniforms and equip- ment. The pooled dispatch said the Reds were defending the triangle with delaying forces and road crates used_ as tank traps, P Snipers Knocked Out * ! One UN tank patrol, out in front of the 8th Army line, knocked dut! a group of snipers while bulldozers filled in the craters. The Fifth Air Force was called in late in the day and blasted a group of 200 withdrawing Reds off the Sanyang-Kumsong road, east: of Kumhwa, . Allied warplanes also attacked other groups of retreating H&dc bound northward. - High Level Talks -l As the battle for the prized tyle angle heightened in fury, high level talks were held in Tokyo behind closely-guarded doors. U. 8. Defense Secretary George C. Marshall had two conferences with Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, supreme Allied com- mander. Some South Koreans feared Mar- shall brought orders of a ceasgafire armistice on the 38th Parallel.® In Pusan, the Republic of Korea legislature asked Its foreign and de- fensp ministers for an opiniod oh the Marshall visit. .. Cease-Fire: Danger Signal Pyun Yung Tal, foreign minister, said any cease-fire order on the 38th would be “a danger signal to tHd free world.” He warned that such an order might give the Reds time to start {a massive new offensive, or 'shift the battleground to whatever the- ater they chose. President Syngman Rhee said Koreans would “do something-in: desperation” if the UN should “maké any decision contrary to our na- tional security.” Just Inspection Trip In Tokyo, however, there was a general feeling that Marshall” was merely on an inspection tour to-see how the new Allied high command was getting along. ‘The drive against Kumhwa was made by troops northeast of Chipo. Light Communist resistance was re< ported by 8th Army headquatters. Farther east, some advances were made around the eastern tip of the Hwachon Reservoir and north of Inje. Communist artillery and mortar fire burst sporadically be- hind several sectors of the line dur~ ing the day. y l (Continyed on Page Fiye) -
