grey- haired, heavily insured ex-convid presumed dead in a mysterious airliner crash has turned up alive here. Dr. Vernon Spears of Dallas was the focus of investigation into bizarre circumstances surrounding the Nov. 16 crash of a commercial airliner into the Gulf of Mexico. Federal authorities are invests gating the possibility that the crash may have resulted from a bomb.

Spears was seized by two FBI agents Wednesday as he hurriedly checked out of a Phoeniz resort motel. He was jailed on a charge of interstate transportation of a stolen car, but the FBI was 'more interested in his answers to these questions: What was the 65-year-old nature-. path up to when he took out in travel insurance? Why 'was he listed as a passenger on the ill-fated flight? Did he prevail upon William Allen Taylor of Tampa, a former prison acquaintance, to take his place on the plane? If so, why and how? Was there any connection between 'Spears and Julian Andrew Frank, New York lawyer insured for and named as a possible suicide bomber on another airliner which crashed in North Carolina Jan. If Spears has given any answers, the FBI won't say. Newsmen have not been permitted to talk with him.

The extent of the FBI's interest is indicated by the bond it asked for Spears at his arraignment on the theft charge before U.S. Commissioner Carey B. Wilson. Spears waived preliminary hearing and was held in lieu of bond. Investigation into the two crashes 'both of National Airlines planes is continuing by the Civil Aeronautics Board and the Senate Aviation subcommittee in See AIR DISASTER, Page 2 Kennedy Risks Bid In Humphrey Duel MILWAUKEE (AP)-Sen.

John F. Kennedy (D-Mass) announced today that he will run against Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey in Wisconsin's presidential preference primary April 5. His decision sets up the first direct test between the two major candidates for the Democrat nomination.

Kennedy, who had said earlier that any formal declaration would be made in Wisconsin, flew to Milwaukee from Washington to address a news conference this morning. His decision, made against recommendations expressed both publicly' and privately by some of his top advisors, amounts to a challenge to Humphrey in his back yard. And the race may be for higher stakes than Wisconsin's 31 convention delegate votes, since Humphrey already has said that if he loses in may withdraw from the race. Losing, he said, means getting fewer than 16 delegates. Kennedy greeted the news conference with a statement that gan, "I shall run in the Wisconsin presidential primary.

"I am fully aware of the risk and difficulties that course involves. No other candidate, 'real or unannounced, has indicated a willingness to enter any primary adjoining the home state of i another contender including New Hampshire, which is next to my own state of Massachusetts. "Nevertheless, the people of Wisconsin should not be denied their right to help select the Democrat presidential nominee merely because their state happens to adjoin Minnesota." "The Republicans of Wisconsin have frequently in the past been given a wide choice of presidential contenders. In 1960 they will not have such a choice. The Democrats must.

DiSalle, Ray T. Miller Sr, has thrown the allegation that he was asked contribute toward purchase of an air- conditioned car for the governor. Miller, Cuyahoga County Democrat chairman, made public Wednesday the latest letter in his correspondence with DiSalle.

DiSalle's choices for at-large' delegate. The letter, in answer to one the governor sent Miller Monday, contained the remark that "I cannot understand why you are so full of vitriol." In a postscript, Miller alleged that Democrat state chairman William L. Coieman had called him "and requested a contribution to buy you an air conditioned Chrysler automobile.

Witnesses said the left landing gear collapsed as the plane hit the runway and there was a terrific expksion, followed by two other blasts. The plane skidded into a sheet of swamp water, perhaps eight inches deep, north of the runway.

Two of the four engines were ripped loose and larid- ed 100 yards from the fuselage. Removal of the bodies began in midmorning. The plane captain, J. Duque, was among the survivors. None of those who got out appeared to be seriously injured.

The County Republican Executive Committee has endorsed Roy D. Odenkirk, Sugaroreek druggist and board clerk for 2 years, to succeed Frank Scott of New Philadelphia, whose 4-year term is expiring. Scott is GOP Central Committee chairman.

The Democrat Executive Committee, meeting last night, endorsed Louis Streb of 730 N. Tuscarawas Ave. for a 4-year term. Streb, former city councilman, has been serving for 19 months in the place of Nicholas Weinsz of Dover, who resigned. Streb and Odenkirk would receive a new salary of $2,170 each per year whereas Mrs.

Maxine Mitchell (R) of New Philadelphia and Nellie Dolling of Dennison, holdover members, get $1,750. Odenkirk said the GOP committee is preparing an endorsement of a new board clerk. Democrats were informed by letter last night that Republicans will retain the clerkship, which pays $225 a month. It had been alternated between the 2 political parties until 2 years ago when a 2-2 board vote resulted in Secretary of State Tad Brown, a Republican, casting the deciding vote in favor of Odenkirk. Streb won the endorsement of the Democrats over John Stratton, New Philadelphia city chairman, by a vote of 23-11.
