some old story of non-co-opern- tion. Then he said, espectafly to the Soviet delegation:

"Live and let live. Replace sweep- ing propaganda gestures with eur- liest efforts to settle outstanding difficulties.

Do these things and many doors to pea-Je- ful progress will be opened."

Visliinsky declared in n speech lasting one hour and 22 min- utes that the basis of Soviet foreign policy is a struggle for peace. He charged that the U.S. has more than 600 bases girdlng the globe and has es- tablished 140 naval tmd air bases in Spain in preparation for war.

Claiming that Britain end the United States had not submitted any facts in their denials of his war-preparation charges, Vtshlii- sky said:

0T5. Plans New Series OF Atomic Weapons Tests

vuiaefidi Ai Eniweiok Proving “Grounds

WASHINGTON. Nov. 29 — (AP) -— The United States plans to make a new series of atomic wea-

pons tests at Eniwetok in the Pacific. This was made known tonight

in s joint announcement by the Atomic Energy Commission and the Defence Department. The announcement gave no indication when the tests will be held.

The tests arc to determine ifhe efficiency of improved weapons developed since the last experi- ments at the Eniwetok proving grounds in the spring of 1948.

They will be the first-A-blasts sot off by the United States since the world was told last September that Russia had produced an atomic explosion.

Todayfls announcement, taken in light of past statements, gave det- inite indication that the weapons to be tested now may be even bct- ter than the three improved bombs exploded at Eniwetok in 1948, In this connection, it is recalled that-

l. Senator Edwin C. John- son (Dem. Colo.) srlid in a tel- evision broadcast earlier this month that United States scientists have developed n. bomb with "six time: the ef- fectiveness of the bomb we dropped on Nagasaki." More- ovcr, said Johnscn_ “consider- able progress" has been made in development of a "super bomb" with 1.000 times the effect of the Nagasaki bomb.

2. The Atomic Commission itself has said that the reason for such tests is to check up on, lobqratoryatudies anrtmath "emetic-at computations as de- vclopment of better weapons proceeds.

It is assumed that much of the increased power of the later model bombs arises from improvement in the efficiency of the nuclear ex- .pioslcn rather than radically dif- ferent bomb mechanism.

DALLAS, Tex, Nov. 29 —(AP) -- An American Airlines plane crashed and exploded here today, and 28 persons died in white-hot flames.

Eighteen others survived as the big BO-passenger plan-e, one of its four engines spouting fire and another falling, plummeted to the edge of Dallas’ Love Field Air-port and ripped itself to pieces against two buildings. Fourteen were in hospital tonight. Four were dis- changed.

The plane, bound from New York to Mexico City, struck and exploded seven miles northwest of downtown Dallas at 7:45 A.M. AST. Blue and white flames billorwed high in the pro-dawn darkness. There were cries of agony and terror as stunned. hurt, surviv- ors stumbled almost miraculously from the heaps of wreckage.

For hours afterwards. firemen pulled charred bodies from the smouldering debris.

Strikes Buildings

The crippled ship, a DC-6, struck a combination hangar-and-office

building of the Dallas Aviation School and plowed broadside into a plant that tests airplane engines with chemicals. Both buildings burned and the sky colored bril- liantly as chemicals flamed in the latter building, the magnaflux plant.

1t was the worst plane crash in Texas history.

Dazed and bleeding, a crew memlber staggered 100 feet to a row of houses. collapsed on a front porch, and said: "1 think I am dying and I want to make a statement. The plane was on fire and I cut all foiir engines. The engines were off when we hit."

Capt. Laurens (Tommy) Claude. who was at the controls, said nne engine failed and was feathered (stopped) over Althcimcr, Ark.

Second Engine Fails

Nearing Love Field, lie said: "I squared away to make a landing with flaps and gear down on a final approach. ‘the No. 4 engine quit and I called to the flight en- gineer to cut on the booster pump when the fuel flow dropped bu zero and the left wing dropped after the plane started to mush in (below flying speed).

“I called for flaps and gear up to the first officer. With only two engines working there wasn't much power to gain altitude to cllmib.

"He (‘the first officer) called out: ‘She‘s a gunner!’

“As he said that, the plane hit the hangar and burst into flames.“ Claude ewaped through a baggage hatch.

LL-Col. A. F. S. Fane, a British Foreign Office courier. en route to Mexico City and Guatemala on an official mission, was amoni the dead. So was Mrs. Ernest G. Wzidel of Dallas, national chairman of the Women's Division of bhe United Jewish Appeal. and David N, Lewis, former attorney for the United States Department of Just- ice, office of alien property. An- other was Jcse de la Mora, of Guadalajara, Mexico, a director of the Mexican Aviation Company.

Pierce McBride, justice of the peace, said he had viewed 23 bodies. those of 17 men and ll women. American Airlines listed 41 passengers and n crew of five. Two of the crew were killed.

MOSCOW, Nov. 29 -—(AP) —The Cominform enjoined Comnunfls everywhere today to back an all-out effort to unseat Yugoslavizfs Prem- ier, Marshal Tito. It called. too, for a decisive struggle against Titoists in the party ranks.

The Cominfonm is a Ccmmunist information bureau, in which the Communist parties of eight count- ries are represented.

Far from yielding to any qualms of national Communist elements. the Comlnform demanded strict dis- cipline everywhere. It declared it was the “international duty” of all Communists to aid to the utmost those Yugoslav workers fighting for a resurrection of orthodox Com- munist doctrine in Yugoslavia.

It also adopted a com-bat pro- gram "for peace." in which Com- munists were urged to make a spec- ial effort to enlist the aid of Rom- an Catholic workers and other groups.

Commons Approves Plan; For Trans-Canada Road

By D'Arcy O'Donnell

OTTAWA, Nov. 29 — (CP) — The Commons today approved Government proposals to spend $150,000,000 on completion of e modern, hard-surface, two-lane trans-Canada highway.

Members gave third reading to a bill authorizing the expendi- ture, but as a parting shot the Opposition attempted unsuccess- fully to have the Government boost the amount of its contribu- lion.

Under the bill, which now goes to the Senate, the Government wi.il pay 50 per cent of the cost of new roads to complete the 5,- OOO-mlle highway that will extend from Victoria to St. John's, Nfld, and take in Prince Edward Island. It will also pay the Provinces 50 per cent of the cost of existing roads that will form pert of the trans-Canada route.

Moves Amendment Hazen Argue (CCF-Assiniboial

moved an amendment to increase the Government's share from 50

lrnzzons and he hoped that n4‘, memlber would leave tbs ebslmbet AU.A.Il.g that l..it> question of a» trans-Canada highway" had been, solved. He urged a Dominion- Provincial conference to discuss‘, arrangements for implementing the project.

Mr. Winters said a letter invit- ing Provincial Highway Minister: to send representatives to l Do- minlon-Provlnclal conference now is being prepared and “will be; sent in the near future." He did not indicate the dats of the con- ference.
