M. UP) A single-engine private airplane spun to earth and burst into flame 20.3 miles south of here Wednesday, killing four persons believed to be Amarillo, residents. Authorities have determined all four were male adults. A registration tag found in the wreckage, N3528Z, was traced to the plane's owner, I.

J. Smith and Dutch Allee, both of Amarillo. Allee, an automobile dealer, was contacted in Amarillo. He contacted Smith's family and learned Smith was not in town. Further checking revealed that Smith and three other men, Dr.

Walter Pat-ton, Bob Bilderback and Jack Newby, all of Amarillo, were supposed to have left Amaril lo in Smith's plane to go to Albuquerque. Ring Found Newby's father-in-law, R. G. Windsor of Albuquerque, was contacted and confirmed that Newby was expected in Albuquerque but had not arrived. He talked with Rogers Mortuary in Las Vegas, where the bodies had been taken, and learned that a large star sapphire ring fitting the description of one worn by New by, had been found in the wreckage.

He phoned his daughter in Amarillo who also confirmed that her husband was flying to Albuquerque with a Mr. Bilderback. New Mexico State Police aid they were certain the victims of the crash were the four Amarillo men. Plane Identified The plane was identified as the Carribbean version of the Piper Tri-Pacer. Witnesses to the crash said the motor of the plane seemed to "cut in and out" just before the crash.

Ernie Thwaites, owner of Radio Station KFUN in Las Vegas, was among the first at the crash scene. He said the crash occurred about 12:15 p.m. and that the wreckage was still burning an hour later. Almost Hit Car Buddy Ramirez of Springer aid the craft almost hit his car as he drove along US-85. The plane hit hilly ground 100 yards east of the highway.

He said the plane appeared to come straight down. Mrs. Kay Gilmartin, a cafe operator at Sands, described the crash scene as a "burning mess." A second witness was Mrs. Oren Mathews of Las Vegas. Mrs.

Gilmartin, a justice of the peace, said she would hold an inquest. Witnesses said there was a sharp noise on impact, indicating there may have been an explosion, The plane hit near an access road leading to the Gib Sand-efer ranch. UAW, Ford Co. Reach Accord DETROIT UP) Ford Motor Co. and the United Auto Workers Union agreed Wednesday night on a new three-year contract after a nine-day nationwide strike which idled 120,000 production workers.

The contract will be presented to the 180-member Ford National Council for approval at a meeting this afternoon. Still to be resolved are local issues at 25 bargaining units whose membership totals more than 61,000. Indications were that these would quickly fall In line. However, at General Motors Corp. last month, local strikes Interrupted production for more than two weeks following agreement on a national contract, UAW President Walter P.

Reuther said the national strike will continue until action by the ford National Council to- Close Checkpoint For Short Period Loudspeaker Truck In West Triggers Communist Move BERLIN LTV The Com- munists stopped all civilian traffic at a Berlin, border checkpoint for an hour Wednesday night until a West German loudsp eaker truck stopped its broadcast. Cars lined up on both sides of the Friedrichstrasse check point. U. S. military police stood with fixed bayonets on the Western side of the border while American officers tried in vain to persuade Communist guards to let traffic through.

Defy Pressure The van, operated by West Berlin authorities to broadcast the Western viewpoint to Com munist border guards, defied their pressure for an hour, then shut off its loudspeaker and drove away. The Reds im mediately relented and opened the gate. Friedrichstrasse is the only passageway for Allied military personnel and foreign civilians through the Communist wall across Berlin. Communist guards there are usually polite and allow holders of non-German passports to clear quickly Allied military vehicles are almost never stopped. The border incident topped a day in which: West German President Helnrich Luebke gravely warned West Germans to steel themselves to shoot at East Germans if necessary in defense of their freedom.

Stare Exercise American soldiers staged an alert exercise. Mayor Willy Brandt called the presence of the Allies, free access to Berlin and ties with the West absolutely essential for West Berlin's survival. He told a group of local business' men West Berlin was able to develop in recent years only because "we lived under the protective umbralla of the Al lies." Gen. Lucius D. Clay, President Kennedy's personal envoy to the city, in a recorded radio interview praised West Berlin policemen manning the tense barricades and said he was confident they can "prevent the situation developing into something explosive." The American Army air lifted more East Berlin escap ees to freedom from the Stem stuecken enclave.

surgeon at New Orleans, second vice president previously had gone 3602 miles on hour. The X-15 record is 3645 miles an hour, set by Space Agency Test Pilot Joe Walker. At a news conference after the flight, the 37-year-old White said the crack in the outer glass panel of the X-15's double windshield did not interfere with his control of the plane. The flight most dangerous yet attempted by an X-15 pilot was planned to test the rocket ship's ability to withstand the stresses future space craft must endure In re-entering the earth's atmosphere. White's re-entry maneuver Wednesday would have pulled the wings off a conventional plane.

Nosing over at the top of his climb, White plunged 1 a petition that contained the accusations against the jurist. Mrs. Murphy was a speaker at the meeting of the New Mex ico Press Assn. at Taos in June. Boston Witt, first assistant at torney general, said in the peti tion that Gately contacted Pa tricio Gutierrez, governor of Santa Clara Pueblo, between Continued on A- State Offices Closing For Columbus Day All state offices will be closed today to mark the 469th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' discovery of the new world.

DALLAS, Tex. (AP)-Speak- er Sam Rayburn, stricken with incurable cancer, fought back to consciousness Wednesday from a bout with pneumonia. His family gathered around the critically ill man. Dr. Robert F.

Short Ray- burn's chief physician, and Baylor Hospital here, issued this medical bulletin at 5:30 p.m.: "Mr. Rayburn remains critically ill but now replies to questions and generally shows improvement. His pulse and blood pressure are within nor mal limits. His temperature is dropping, and it has approached normal He shows signs of re sponding to treatment. Anti biotics and positive pressure are being continued." Rayburn apparently had con tracted the pneumonia during the night and early Wednesday was unconscious.

Short, in answer to questions at a press conference after the bulletin was issued, said Ray burn now was receiving treatment only for pneumonia. The highest temperature registered by the Speaker earlier Wednesday, he said, was 103. The doctor said, "there has been no improvement in the cancer There is no indication the cancer is arrested." He said it was too early in the can cer treatment for this to have been accomplished. Boy, 12 Struck, Killed by Auto In Mishap Here Larry Golleher, 12, of 3526 12th NW, was fatally injured late Wednesday afternoon when he rode his bicycle in front of a car near the intersection of 12th and Candelaria NW. The boy was dead-on-arrival at St.

Witnesses told officers the boy rode in front of the car just after Mrs. Hubbell made a turn onto Candelaria from 12th. Bicycle tire marks, found at the scene, confirmed the wit nesses' version, officers said. Albuquerque Weather ALRrOJEROrE AND VICINITY Fair Thursday and Friday.

The plane flattened out like a sky-diver falling spread-eagled and "splashed" back into the atmosphere. White said the windshield cracked at between 60,000 and 70,000 feet about the point where he leveled out for the glide back to base. During this maneuver White was fighting gravity pressures more than four times normal.

His voice over the radio sounded strained, but he said later this was only normal under those gravity conditions. "The flight was a complete success," White said. "I be-lieve the design mission is trusted military adviser, Rusk Says U.S., Castro Break Is Permanent MIAMI BEACH (UPI) -Secretary of State Dean Rusk said Wednesday there is "no prospect whatever" of peaceful coexistence between the United States and Fidel Castro's Cuban government. "Cuba has made its commitment to forces outside this hemisphere and, as President Kennedy has indicated, this is not negotiable," Rusk said. The Secretary of State, here to address the United Church Women's National Assembly, said that U.S.

officials were in "close consultation" with other Latin American nations about the Cuban situation. No Comment on Quick Action He declined to say whether the United States would take immediate action on its own if the Organization of American States (OAS) did not act against Castro, but reaffirmed President Kennedy's stand last April that the U.S. would act alone against Cuba "if neces' sary.H Asked if there might be eventual peaceful coexistence with the Castro government, Rusk replied: "There is no pros pect of that. No prospect what ever." He said again that Castro's charges that the United States is planning an invasion of Cuba are untrue and remarked that the Castro government's recent return to executing prisoners "has disturbed a number of other Latin American coun tries." Trade Embargo Doubted Rusk said a trade embargo against Cuba is under "daily consideration." But he indicated that trade with Cuba has trickled off to the point where such an embargo "would not be quite as significant as it would have been a year ago." In his speech to the women's group, Rusk said the United States needs a more flexible in ternational trade policy to ne gotiate successfully with the European Common Market. He said this country must stop trying to restrict imports which harm domestic industry and instead find ways for the nation as a whole to underwrite losses suffered by U.S.

producers as a result of foreign competition. Governors Visit To Japan OKI WASHINGTON (UPI) The State Dept. Wednesday endorsed plans for 10 U. S. state governors to visit Japan early in 1962 and for 10 Japanese governors to visit this country.

The U. S. endorsement was sent Wednesday to Gov. Wes ley Powell of New chairman of the U. S.

Governors Conference in Hawaii earlier this year, which pro posed the exchange. Besides Powell, the other U. S. governors scheduled to make the trip are Paul Fannin, Arizona; Edmund G. Brown, California; William F.

Quinn, Hawaii; John B. Swainson, Michigan; Elmer L. Anderson, Minnesota; Edwin L. Me- chem, New Mexico; David L. Lawrence, Pennsylvania; Bu- ford Ellington, Tennessee; and Gaylord A.

Nelson, Wisconsin. UAW Orders New Vote DETROIT UrWThe United Auto Workers Executive Board Wednesday night ordered a new vote by Local 72 at Kenosha, on ratification of the union's profit sharing contract with American Motors Corp. The 12,000 member localj last Sunday rejected it by narrow margin. i Saigon to discuss ways in which the United States "can perhaps better assist the government of Viet Nam" in meeting the threat to its independence. And, In a domestic but related field, the President told a news conference that hopes for a $3-billion surplus in the Treasury this year and for a tax cut have been wiped out because of steps to strengthen the national defense.

Unexpected" Spending-He said he hopes next year's budget can be balanced and that a tax boost will be avoided. But he said there could be further unexpected defense spending. Kennedy himself led off the conference his first since Aug. 30 with his announcement that he is sending Taylor to Viet Nam this week. Then the first question bored in on the Berlin situation and whether talks with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A.

Gro-myko have raised hopes for a solution. Put Another Way The answer: "No." Later, the President put It another way: "We are still not in sight of land." Yet the chief executive did say his own conference with Gromyko last Friday and those earlier between Gromyko and Secretary of State Dean Rusk had defined differences more clearly. Furthermore, he said, talks but not negotiations are to continue at the diplomatic level. Remains Firm Kennedy was firm and con ciliatory at the same time. He said "'we have indicated that we will meet our commitments with whatever resources art necessary to meet them." "And we also add," he added, "that we hope it will be pos sible that accord can be reached which will protect the interests and freedom of the people in volved, without having to go to these extreme weapons." This was in answer to a re quest for reaction to what a re porter termed charges that the nation has not maintained adequate strength and has failed to convince Soviet leaders of its determination to meet force with force in Berlin or else where.

War Not Victory Kennedy said the American people are rightfully concerned about the possibility of a war. He said, as he has before, that "we happen to live in a most dangerous time in the history of the human race." "Our ambition," he said, "is to protect our vital interests without a war which destroys and doesn't really represent a victory for policy." The news conference, in the auditorium of the State Department, was held before the eyes of millions of Americans peering by television over the shoulders of 396 newsmen. For the most part Kennedy was solemn in voice ana manner. Only here and there wera foatlaued on A 9 Farmer, Chasing Calf, Is Killed FLOYD, (UPI) Floyd farmer Meryl Watkins, 38, was killed Wednesday when he fell off a moving farm truck from which he was trying to rope a calf and was run over. Veliovoro Esparza Rey, 27, a farm laborer who was driving the truck, said Watkins fell off the front left fender when the vehicle hit a bump as it was chasing the calf over the rugged grazing pasture.

Sheriff Glen Widner said Rey told him the farmer was motioning for the truck to go faster when the accident occurred. Sheriff Widner said a rear wheel struck Watkins' head, killing him instantly. WASHINGTON (AP) Ten thousand more men regular Army and newly mobilized Air National Guard units were ordered to Europe Wednesday to boost U.S. military strength in that crisis-clutched area. The Defense Dept.

announced that Secretary of Defense Rob ert S. McNamara, with Presi dent Kennedy's approval, had taken the new action to strengthen combat forces on guard against possible aggres sion by the Communists. The deployment "will start immediately," the Pentagon said. Then it added more sped fically that the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment would move to Europe "at an early date" and that 11 fighter squadrons and other elements of the Air National Guard, which already have been ordered to federal service effective next Saturday, would begin heading for Eu rope Nov. 1.

Troops Arrive The announcement came co- incidentally with the arrival at a European port of the first 500 of the 40,000 men who are being gent to West Germany to bring the 7th VS. Army up to full combat effectiveness. The 7th Army consists of five di visions, plus smaller units equivalent to the strength of another division. The regiment ordered over Wednesday is in addition to the 40,000 troops, Shortly after the Pentagon announcement, a reporter at Kennedy's news conference noted there has been criticism that U.S. leaders have not fully convinced the Soviet rulers that the United States Is determined to meet force with force in Ber lin.

Kennedy said "we have indicated that we will meet our commitments with whatever re sources are necessary to meet them." He ticked off a series of specific actions the adminis tration has taken since Jan uary. Ordered Overseas The Air Guard outfits or. dered overseas Wednesday in elude three fighter interceptor squadrons flying supersonic 104 planes and seven tactical fighter and one tactical recon naissance squadron. These fly subsonic jet planes, including F-85S and F-86S. Seven regular Air Force tac tical squadrons went overseas in early September to participate in a NATO training maneuver.

When the maneuver was completed, the U.S. Air Force ordered the squadrons to remain in Europe temporarily. The Pentagon said Wednesday these squadrons will return to the United States as the Air National Guard outfits arrive only one or two flights away." The X-15 is designed to go at least 50 miles high and reach speeds of 4000 miles an hour. Success of Wednesday's flight indicated these marks might be achieved in a matter of weeks. Air friction caused the temperature of the X-15's pressed steel skin to rise to 900 degrees in Wednesday's flight.

The plane is designed to withstand temperatures of 1200 degrees. White felt little of this however, in his air-conditioned cockpit. He was so busy operating the plane, he said, thut he could not pick out any landmarks but was sure he could see 200 to 300 miles. His vision was partly obscured by scattered clouds. Pueblo land.

Gately, who has been living north of Santa Fe, was arrested Tuesday by State Police and was released on his own recognizance Wednesday. A hearing on the petition before the Supreme Court is set for next Tuesday. The Colorado Supreme Court disbarred Gately in July after he charged a court member with taking a bribe to fix a case. The Supreme Court justice denied the charge. Before his disabarrment, Gately charged the high court with prejudice against him.

He was a candidate ior district attorney from the Fourth Jud icial District at the time. The case attracted national attention when a Colorado Springs newspaper reporter went to jail for 30 days for re fusing to reveal a news source. The Colorado high court found Mrs. Vi Murphy guilty of con-j tempt when she refused to tell the court where she obtained Chavez Planning Irip Here Soon Sen. Dennis Chavez, now in the National Institute of Health, Washington, D.

for treatment of throat can cer, is "getting along fine and plans to come to New Mexico late this month or early in November," his administrative assistant, Charles Davis, said here. Davis said he doesn't plan to return to Washington until January. He also said personal friends in Washington are planning a reception for Senator and Mrs. Chavez Nov. 9 to celebrate their 50th wed ding anniversary.

"The senator has discussed the 1962 primary and many candidates, pro and con," Davis added. Sen. Chavez last week in Washington told reporters that cobalt radiation treatment had effectively arrested a cancerous condition of his throat. The senator last April under went surgery nere ior re moval of a tumor from his throat. X-15 Climbs 40 Miles in Space, Makes 'Belly Buster Plunge Into Atmosphere EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif.

UV-An X-15 pilot rocketed 40 miles into space Wednesday, then slammed back into the atmosphere in a "belly buster" plunge that cracked his tiny plane's windshield. Air Force Major Bob White landed safely after setting a new record for winged flight. He soared at bullet-fast speed to 215,000 feet more than eight miles higher than the previous X-15 record of feet. This altitude has been exceeded only by the two American and two Russian astronauts, who shot more than 100 miles high in missile-boosted capsules over which they had little control. White hit a top speed of 3477 miles an hour on his rocket ride Wednesday.
