EDSON FVASHINGTON, Nov; l,-- (AP) — While an airport tower. radio man frantically tried to keep them apart, an airliner and a. fighter piano rammed together today. and 55 persons probably were killed In the world's worst civil air disaster. The crash occurred about 300 feet in the air, as an Eastem Air Lines DC-4 and a Bolivian fglhter plane came in at the some time for a landing at Washington's busy national airport. Only one person is known to have survived. He is Eric Rios Bridoux. 28. dir- ector of the Bolivian Air Force. He flew the military plane through a barrage of frantic radio wamlngs that the airliner was coming, too. None of the 51 passenger? or the four crew members of the big air- liner. bound from Boston to New IOrIeans. are believed to be alive. Twenty-nine bodies had been re- covered four hours after the crash. The passenger plane tore into the bank of the Potomac River. The other bodies probably were thrown into the water. On Passenger List Among those aboard the airlin- er were: Representative George J. Bates (Rep. Mass), 58, serving his sev- enth term as a member of Con- grass.

In many instances. only a fraction of the money voted by Parliament for projects in the Province, was actu- ally spent. Striking example of failure to spend moneys voted by Federal authority is found in the vote of $100,000 for a public building at Charlottetown. Of the $100,000 only $250 was spent for purposes of this building in the past fiscal year. Not a cent was spent of the vote of $50,000 for a public build- ing at Surnmerslde. Major proportion of Federal funds expended in Prince Edward Island_ in 1048-40 was for the Prince Edward Island car ferry and for its terminals at Borden and at Tormentlne. A sum of $4,- 147,000 was allotted for construc- tion and improvement of the term- inal facillties at these two rpin-ts. and $2,689,084 was spent during the year. This amount was paid to the Canadian National Raljways which carried out the work. Car Ferry Account Amount paid on account for the new ferry “Abegweit" was $467.- 898. Present estimate of the total cost of the ferry is listed as $7.- l00,000. It is noted that there were five temporary salaried employees being paid in 1948-49 from the . vote for construction of the Abe- gweit.‘ Annual operating deficit of the Prince Edward Island car ferry is set down in the accounts as $1.- 219380. Under the heading of capital expenditures for Prince Edward Island is an item of $8,- 330,745 for the Prince Edward Is- land railway. Maintenance of Buildings Maintenance and repairs of Do- minlon public buildings on Prince Edward island cost $81,037 during the year. This compares with $2,844,543 spent for maintenance of public buildings fol‘ the same per- iod in the province of Ontario. Rental paid for Government of- fice space in the Province was $7,- 560 paid to Stsrna Ltd. at Char- lottetown. Chief expenditures for dredging in P.

Nov. 1 —-(CP) -Re- quests for improved Prince Edward Island transportation and for a Fed- eral authority to determine the route of the trans-Canada highway were placed today before the Royal Commission on Transportation. As the three-man Commission opened the final series of hearings in its investigation into national transportation problems, these de- velopments went into the record: 1. P.E.I. witnesses and counsel criticized rail and railway-ferry services linking the Island with the mainland and called for better facilities. 2. A witness urged “special con- sideration" for the Island potato industry because of disadvantages created by freight rates and other factors. 3.

The Canadian Automotive Transportation Association, repre- senting truckers in six Provinces. expressed opposition to any suggest- ion that the highway should be un- der Federal control. 6. Hon. W.F.A. Inrgeon. Com- mission chairman. told the Trans- Canada Highway Association he had doubts as to whether it had come to the right tribunal. and. that. in any event. he did not know what stage the project would be at when the cofnimisslonh report name out. Today's session started off hear- ings that are expected to last wcli into the winter. The mmmission. after a series of aces-country hear- ings during the summer. has been in adjournment since early August. An agenda has been laid down as far ahead as Dec, 18 but expecta- tions are the hearings will continue considerably beyond that date. Island Case Presented Contention that the C.N.R.. was charging fares and fees illegally on its ferry service came from 41.0.0. Campbell. counsel for the Island government. Mr. Campbell's claim was made as the Commission returned to con- sideration of a brief of the PJLI. government. presented at Chas-lotte- town last July. Reception of evid- enoo on the brief had not been completed when the Commissio ‘s Island hearings were adjourned. The P E.I. counsel contended that. under the terms by which tho Island entered Confederation, the Dominion Government was obligat- ed to provide free transportation across Northumberland Strait. MrI ,' " said the C.N.R... operating the ferry for the Govern- ment. had no right to charge fares. He would like to see the issue tested in court. Both he and B. Graham Rogers. transportation director of the Is- land's Department of Industry, hit at the C.N.R. for charging a fee for buses bringing passengers to the ferry and using a roadway leading to the ferry wharf. C.N.R. counsel Hugh O'Donnell countered this claim by waving a copy of a 1939 contract signed by a bus company. which conceded the road was o. private one and agreed to pay fess. Mr. Campbell retorted the bu! firm had had no choice about sign- ing the contract if it wanted to use the road. Mr. Rogers declared that. under P.E.I. law. that section of road was Kim's highway.
