The Albuquerque crash was the first l-rlsjor disaster in the United States during the last three days although l0 persons lost their lives in eight smaller accidents in the colmtry dining the week-end.

dish investigating commission con- sidered the possibility that an sir- port employee may inadvertently have caused Sunday's crash of a Royal Dutch Airlines plane in which American soprano Grace Moore. Swedish‘ Prince Gustaf Adolf and 20 other; perished.

The commission announced that a steel wedge. of the type usually uled to lock elevator flaps when s. plane is on the ground, hag been fotmd some distance from the wrecked K-L-M DC-3.

The D0dy of Mlsg Moore, former Tennessee choir ginger who gained success in the movies. opera and musical comedy. Wag still not fin- llly identified Monday night. The Moore family announced 1n,Chllt- tanooga. ‘Dem-t, that funeral serv- ices would be held there, with bur- lsl in the family plot.

Prince Gustaf Adolfs body was identified fhrolgh bracelets. It was announced in Stockholm that the Prince will be buried beside his mother near the loyal family's res- idence outside Stockholm. The Swedish warship Oscar ll has teen ordered to bring the prince's body to Malmoe.

Danish authorities, meanwhile. ruled that the maximum weight of DC-il planer, leaving Danish fields must not in the future exceed 25.243 pounds. Esklldsen said that the ill-fated plane had been loaded to a. weight of 20,872 pounds '- 1.629 more than the new limit.

In Britain, where 12 persons were killed Saturday in the take-off from Croydon airport of another DC-3, civil aviation minister 10rd Nathan said the air safety board would look into the whole matter of plane loads, possibly Tuesday.

The serious week-end accidents was brought to the floor of the House of Commons Monday. GS. Lindgxen. parliamentary secretary to the civil avialtloin- ministry. stat- od no accident has occurred with British-operated DC-3 aircraft which could be attributed to over- loading.

FOOD SELECTION

What we eat. ls more important than how much we consume. accord- ing to nutrition authorities. An export at Ottawa declares that "enough is better than a. feast." Foods must b; selected for returns in body-building and sustaining value, not just as so much filling, or palate pleasing.

dOWH.

Steel workers. cotton mills and breweries were among the. worst af- fected by the new system of fuel allocation. scheduled to 185T- 1M0 March. Gas and electricity plants- and food industries get unlimited supplies and other industries take a oo-per-cent cut with some ad- ditional slupplles for firms of "na- tional importance."

Domestic supplies in l-he United Kingdom are lmeffectcd but the elimination of exports to Eire brought the crisis there with the fuel famine already causing much hardship.

Some Sheffield steel firms are setting back delivery dates and are refusing new orders, faccd with the prospect of working only four days this week because of the coal short- age. _ Many textile firms in Yorkshire's west riding will not re-open until Wednesday. One of the largest clothing firms in Leeds, employing 1.000 men and women. was among the plants closed today. Borne Deeds brewery firms plan

start on alternate week-on. system. Through the country it is expected that beer production will be cut between 25 and 50 per cent since brewing — placed under the heading of essen- tisl food supplies during the war-- now has been removed from the priority list for fuel. Four thousand are temporarily jobless in Nelson. Lanes" n. town with a population of 40,000 where l7 textils mills have been shut down for some days. A small proportion of train ser- vices in England, Scotland and Wales have been cancelled to pro- vide extra. locomotives for hauling coal but in Eire. services have been cut to the. 1042 wartime schedule and still more cancellation are ex- pected. Loss of much of e 1040 pest harvest because of bad wea- ther is largely responsible for the Eire s.
