Seventy-nine persons—six crew and 73 men, women and children passengers—died aboard a Mari- time Central Airways DC-4 char- tered airliner Aug. 11 when it plunged into a Quebec bog. The board of inquiry’s purpose, following the exhaustive prelimin- ary investigation, is to “express an opinion on the cause of the ac- cident to CF-MCF, and as to whether there was any breach of air regulations involved.” The four-engined CF-MCF dis- integrated with its passengers in the bog near Issoudun, Que., 15 miles southwest of Quebec City. It apparently dug in nose first and evidence pointed to a subse- quent blast which even shattered jewels and left few intact plane portions. The plane struck disas- ter of unknown cause only a few minutes after giving an all-well message to Quebec City’s airport. lst PUBLIC HEARING The inquiry, called Canada’s first completely public one into an air accident, will be conducted forward as urgent problems which should be discussed.

He reiterated long-standing pro- posals, including an East-West non-aggression pact, easing trade controls and set-ting up a zone in Central Europe free of atomic weapons.

DEFENDS DULLES Eisenhower defended D u 1 l e s from a new jibe by Bulganin. Bulganin, in opposing a foreign mg ministers meeting, said he did so because of the “biased position certain possible 'participants”—a remark believed aimed at Dulles.

MAKES NO ESTIMATE Mr. Diefenbaker described the program as comprehensive but would not make an estimate of the over-all cost to the treasury. However, he told a national meeting of young Conservatives last Saturday that works projects running up to $250,000,000 were in process for the next six months 01' so. v The prime minister indicated to reporters Wednesday his time- table is to he stepped up, saying the». program will. with “ifiiii’fédiat‘élyf “It is a very extensive and challenging program,” he said, adding t at it is a part of the Cimserv'a-ives’ national develop- ment policy promised to electors during the last federal campaign.
