27 KILLED IN CRASH OF BRITISH AIRLINER IN IRELAND

Deatl-I Leads To Den OF Red Mystery Man

Ridgway Says Not Satisfied With Nato

Force Under

PARIS, Jan. 0 - (AP) - Gen. Matthew Ridgway said today that the in Western divisions in Ger- many would not be defeated in the event of a sudden Russian attack but "would suffer grevious blows."

The General made his statement in reply to questions at a post- New Year press conference two weeks dfter he had told North At- lantic Treaty officials that he didn't have enough force at hand to defend Western Europe.

In essence he repeated that u- aertion today by declaring that the strength and training of the forces under him is "not satisfactory in the light 'of the mission assigned to me and in view of the accepted esitimates of the enemy's capabil- it es." -

Huge Russian Force

He declined to say how many divisions oriairplana the Russians have. But sources close enough to him to know what he was talking about have estimated the Russian forces at 175 divisions and 24,000 combat planes. Of the divisions. some estimates have indicated that perhaps 60 Red divisions are in Western Russia or in Germany.

Facing them across the Elbe at or near the Rhine are six UB.. four British. five French. one Netherlands and two Bel lan divis- ions. A Canadian briga s also is stationed in Germany.

During the conference a half- doaen correspondents. mainly Am- erican. tried through questions to reveal the extent of disagree- ments which they found in Decem- ber betwen Ridgway's supreme headquarters and the civilian of- ficials making up the North At- council. - .

Outlines Problem

Without smiling. only once rais- ing his voice at a repetitious ques- tion. Ridgway ouflned the prob- lem he faces.

He makes the demands. based on what he believes is required for defence of Europe. The civilian authorities determines-how much of that he can have without up- setting economic and social condi- tions in the Nato countries.

"My reports to my military and political superiors within Nato

, have all been in accord with these fundamentals," he said. "I have nowhere found substantial dis- agreement with the nature of our military problems. I have found. as is perfectly natural, differences of view as to how and when these problems should be solved.

"That in itself is. I think, high- ly encouraging. It reveals a basic agreement of the utmost import- ance on what must be done.”

They stumbled evidence about the Constantine Stathapoulos, known as Costa Pauloe, shabby rooming house died apparently from causes.

Police found stacks of Commun- ist llterature. two mean-looking weapons. a bundle of notebooks in undecipherable code. and code charts that may unlock their sec- rets.

One notebook entry the anti- subversive squad police were able to make out was the name of Klaus I-hrchs. atomic-secret spy convicted in Britain and serving a 14-year prison sentence.

May Be Big Find

A police spokesman said that while it will take experts. possibly using the code sheets, to make out the elaborate notes. their find may be the most important they have made in months.

City police found their way to the den of the 60-year-old Greek when they were called to 2049 Clark Street, in a rundown district of midtown Montreal. Saturday night.

It was simply a routine investi- gation. stathapoulos had been found dead in his bed by others in the house.

Anti-subversive agents were call- ed in on'the case when examinat- ion of the neatly-kept room re- vealed that books... gazlne. and pamphlets crammed n five sult- cases all were Communist literat- ure. i

Report Everythlng' Normal In N. Y.

By Arthur Everett

NEW YORK, Jan. 5 -(AP) -- The Clo Transport Workers hope- fully eyed tonight New York's vast subway system. which took up the initial slack of a widely-heralded bus strike.

"we believe that due to crowding they will be slowed down." a TWU official said of the roaring subway trains.

However. on the first full work day since the New Yearis eve strike began. thepcity hummed away at near normal pace despite the TWU strike against eight big private bus firms in Manhattan. the Bronx and Queens. w

"l3uslnes's seems to be taking the bus strike in stride." was the word from the New York Board of Trade. although the union insisted bedlam was in the offing underground. The 'I'WU's strike for a 40-hour week for 0.200 private llnes' drivers and maintenance men made idle buses that normally haul 8.500.000 fares a day. It was feared these riders might swamp the already over-taxed subways.

But the board of transportation said "everything is normal."

Mr. W. R. Shaw. Deputy Minis- ter of Agriculture. spoke before the Rotary Club. Charlottetown, yesterday during which he review- ed the agricultural position throtlghout Canada. Mr. Shaw dealt'wlth the splendid state of production in agricultural pro- ducts across Canada. and detailed the market trends during the year 1952. which indicated a lowering in the price of most farm commo- dities. while at .the same time costs and labour supplies had in- creased. He dealt very clearly with the surplus position in meat pro- ducts which had occurred chiefly because of an embargo in Can- ada's main export market in the

In his outlook for the'year 1953 he stated the prospects are for less production in agricultural products, lower prices of farm pro- ducts, equally as high costs of operation, higher interest. tax and transportation rates. and a greater scarcity of farm labour at a high- er cost. .

Touching on the dairy industry he emphasized the tremendous value of the industry to Canada. which he estimated at over 700 million dollars annually to the farmer and to all those encouraged in processing. Two million Can- adians are dependent on this in- dustry which is the keystone of

agricultural stability and farm conservation. Touching upon substitutes he

declared that margarine is with us to stay, and dairymen will have

Seven Injured; Only One Of 35 Is Unhurl

BELFAST, Jan. 5 - (AP) - A twin-engined British airliner crash- ed. and burst into flames while landing near here tonight, killing at least 27 of the 35 persons aboard and injuring seven.

Only one of those aboard - steward Jack Young. 26. of Bel- fast -- escaped apparently unhurt. He was hurled from the tail of the plane as it broke up. All other crew members were killed.

Most of the passengers were Britons. One of those killed was a small baby.

Hit Beacon

The airliner, a 38-senter Viking on a. routine flight from London. hit a beacon pylon as it came in to land at nearby Nutts Corner Belfast's airport. The plane carom- ed off the pylon and bounced against the airportis radio control building before smacking into a runway close to where officials and relatives of the passen er. were waiting to welcome the ar- rivals.

Flames enshrouded the wreckage as one girl passenger ran screaming from the airliner. bleeding pro- fusely and with her clothing ablaze. She was taken to hospital.

The British - European Air- ways. owner of the wrecked plane. withheld identifications of the vic- tims until ncxt of kin had been informed.

Everything Normal

Young. undergoing treatment for shock at a hospital. said "every- thing was normal" as the plane approached for a landing.

"The passengers had fastened their safety belts when suddenly there was a terrific crash like a bomb in a blltz." Young said. "The next thing I knew I was lying in a muddy ditch."

BEA gave the casualties as 27 dead and seven injured. However. unofficial sources put the toll at 29 dead and five injured.

The.crash occurred only about 100 yards from the end of the runway;

One of the engines liurtled 40 yards through the air. and a pro- pellor was found in an adjoining field.

When the injured girl ran screaming from the wreckage. spectators rushed up and pulled other pamengers from the plane as firefighters extinguished t h e flames.

Broke Safely Record

The wreck broke ,BEA's and BOAC's long safety record. Up to tonight they had gone well over a year without a death or injury.

Airrport officials said the plane's captain was G. H. Hartley. the first officer. R. D. Hayes. and the radio officer. T. R. A. Merry.

The airfield had been blanketed in fog most of the day and sev- eral planes were diverted

Asian Socialists Plan Conference At Rangoon

RANGOON. Burma. Jan. 5 (Reuters) - Asian Socialists meet here tomorrow to decide whether to Join European Socialists in a world movement to counter the Communist tide.

Ever since European Socialist parties formed their "Socialist In- ternstlonal” 18 months: ago. they have favored expanding it to take in All and the Middle East - potentla front-line of Communist

orld revolution.

But many Asian socialists be- lieve their brand of socialism is different from Europe's. They are either living under colonial rule or just emerging from it - and Europe is the traditional centre of colonial imperialism.

Seeing nothing in common with the "International" -- firmly lin- ed up behind western rearmament -many Asians have courted the neutral "thlrdtfcroe" policy pop- ular in India and Burma,

Charged with the difficult task of persuading Asian socialists they have a common bond with their European opposites is Clement At- tlee, leader of Britain's Labor Party and special delegate from the International.

His main support on the confer- ence floor will come from the right- wlng faction of Japan's Socialist Movement (social Democrats). al- ready a member of the socialist In- ternational. Indlan Socialists and the Malayan Labor Union are oth- er non-luropean members.

Attleo's main weapon will be the prestige he has in Asia as the! Prime Minister who granted India. Pakistan. Ceylon and Burma their
