Cab Investigators Probe
Stephenville Plane Crash
Slcphenvillc, Newfoundland. Oct.
?(/i'i?Veteran investigators of
tiic lT. S. Civil Aeronautics Board
lilted bits and pices of a giant (cur
engined airliner today trying to
learn why the crash hurled head-on
into a 1.200 toot wall of rock Thurs
day morning, smashing 39 persons
to death.
"It is the worst crash in my 37
years experience." said George Gay.
regional CAB chief, after visiting
the scene of the tragedy.
From eye witness accounts and
the flame fused remnants of the
American Overseas airliner the pro
bers fashioned this version of the
crash, the worst in commercial avi
ation history. The plane was a DC-J
Douglas Skymasler. It had stopped
overnight at Harmon Field, on the
southwestern coast of Newfoundland
because of bad weather at Gandei
airport across the island.
Carried 31 rasscimers
A crew of eight and 31 passengers
were aboard. The tanks heel been
| illed with 2,fl0t) gallons of high
octane gasoline for the long over
seas hop to Sham. >n. Fire. The plane
used a run-way pointing in a nnrth
?astcrly direction toward a range
if rock rapped mountains eight miles
iistr.nt. which ranged up to 1,200 and
1.500 feet.
Oround crews watched the craft
; ice normally, a half-hour before
lawn, with an estimated 150 feet
>f altitude before it reached the
1 end of the runway. Suddenly a
| groat billow of flame flated into the
sky and d> ivn t ic stone

Last night, an official speaking
ror the Prime Minister saitl flatly
:liat Mr. Truman's statement "may
well jeopardize" British snonsored
negotiations to determine Palestine's
future.
Earlier the foreign office said
Britain would not act upon Tru
man's appeal "until the whole poli
tical future" of Palestine was set- '
tied. The President had said that
further immigration could not await
a settlement.
By diplomatic st.ai<iards, Britain's i
statements were quick and sharp, j
and some London diplomatic sour
ces said they indicated Attlce was
angered both by Truman's proposals
and his instcncc on publishing them
despite Attloc's request that pub
lication be deferred.
Behind Britain's deep concern
over the presidential statements, lay
the following factors:
1?A feeling that Mr. Truman had j
affronted the British government by j
publishing the statements against ,
Att Ice's wishes.
2?A belief, often expressed in i
authoritative British quarters, thai \
I runian's 100.0(H) figure for imme- 1
diatc Jewish immigration lends to I
become an absolute minimum Jew- j
ish demand.
