Also assigned to the crash were 125 detectives who had been at tending a session on narcotics at the Police Academy. The Civil Aeronautics Board of fice at Idlewild dispatched its agents.

Three alarms were Bounded lor the fire erupting from the plane. The fire was reported under control at 10:50 a.m. but by that time only wreckage remained. All eight crew members in the crash were Californians. A spokes man for the line said the crew had arrived in New York from Boston this morning to make the West Coast flight.

Martin gave this account on the basis of reports from the scene by two-way radio: "The rescue workers are walking out into the marshes about a block or a block and a half to try and find survivors and pick up bodies. They tell me they sink into the water about up to their boot tops and sometimes to then- knees Since it is low tide that is a break, because otherwise they would sink much deeper. "The fire is out and a third alarm was sounded about 11:15 a.m. as a call for more men to help in jrescue operations. We understand the plane blew up when it hit the marshes and blew into many small pieces.

However, some reports say large sections of the plane still are intact." Lottie Lennon, Broad Channel said her house shook "like an explosion." "I never heard anything like it," said said. "I thought it was the house next door. "I was afraid to open the door. I went upstairs and looked out the window. The sky was filled with heavy black smoke.

I woke up my son, Desmond, who works nights for United Aif Lines at Idlewild. Desmond was in the Air Force. He knows all about planes. He got dressed right away and went out into the bay to try to help. Mrs.

Lemon said the smoke rose from a spot in the swampland about a mile from her home at the corner of Fourth Rd. and Cross Bay Blvd. John Petersen, Bayport, N.Y., an executive, said: "I was pulling Into Jamaica Railroad btation this morning when this plane was taking off. I just happened to turn my hqad and look out the train window and saw this giant airplane climbing and then head straight down to the ground. I didn see it hit.

I didn't see any fire while the plane was heading down. "I couldn't believe my eyes. It went absolutely straight down- on a 90 degree angle. I was so shocked I could hardly, move. I'll bet I was maybe 12 miles away from the scene.

In Washington, the White House announced that Federal Aviation Administrator Najeeb Halaby and a number of aides left for New York within minutes of learning of the crash. American Airlines said the plane crashed at about 10:18 a.m. shortly after taking off from Run way 31 -left. It Said the 67 passengers includ ed three company employes, in addition to the crew. Sixty passengers were traveling tourist class and 27 first class.

American Airlines said its last accident in scheduled operation was on Feb. 3, 1959, when' an Electra crashed in the East River near La Guardia Airport. That crash cost 65 lives. The Astrojet crash was the first of a Boeing 707 in this country jnvolvfeig a loss of life of passen gers. However, a 707 operated by 5a- bena Airlines crashed in Belgium on Feb.

Longview orchard ist, said, that with a 23-degree low Thursday, he did not believe that the local peach crop will be hurt too much. lie added that the ice glaie Wednesday had served to protect the buds, but (hat it will be several days before the loss can be accurately assessed. John Henry, Upshur County county a8en'- 631(1 mcr area there would be "lots of damage" but he declined to hazard a guess. It's too early to say.

he said. "It will be two or three days before we can tell how many of the buds were killed." O. D. Taylor, county agent of Gregg County, said that the freeze damage would be in direct rela tion to the hardiness of the plants and that it would be the end of the week before a reliable esti mate of loss could be made. Robert J.

Dean, county agent at Daingerfield, said there would be "considerable damage" to fruit trees and that some of the early flowers like azaleas and japonicas would be lost for the season He also advised a "wait and see" attitude. The early peach and plum crop in Wood county may be lost, according to County Agent E. A. Spacek. Late crops will be a right, but will not be large, he said.

The cold wave also will cause a setback to pastures, Weldon Morris, county agent of Marion county, said crops in his area apparently suffered little or no damage. County Agent Frobese of Harrison county said that while it is early to determine the extent, there likely was some damage to fruit trees and nursery stock. The temperature there dropped to 27 degrees. When in full bloom, some plants can withstand 25 to 27 degrees," he added. Grasses will be slowed down by about 10 days as a result of the freeze, he said.

Jean Taylor, secretary to county agent in Panola county, said it. was hoped that the ice that formed on buds and blooms as a result of weather conditions Wednesday would protect trees and plants. 'We can't tell the- amount of damage until the ice melts," she stated. Buck Florence of the a County Chamber Commerce, said that his survey Thursday indicated there "might be a loss of up to 60 per cent" but that no one would know for several days yet. J.

F. Burton, county agent of Rusk County, said that while peach production in that area was relatively small, he did not think that the damage would be too heavy. He said that flowers were hurt, but that things would have to 'warm up" before damage could be ORIGINAL I'SAGE The word "bead" is' derived from the Saxon word "bidan," which means "to pray."

In addition to his wife and fellow astronaut, Glenn came toi New York with his children, Caro-1 lyn and David, and Dr. Robert iGilruth, director of Project Mer-' cury which orbited the first American around the earth. The space pilots were officially to the city by Richard C.

Patterson commissioner of Department of Public Events, who said, "All our hearts are light er today." At the time, the commissioner did not know about the plane crash an hour earlier. "I salute, I greet "you, I welcome you," Patterson added. "Thank you very much, answered the beaming Glenn. "We appreciate your welcome. It is always a pleasure to come to New York." He said he and his family had visited the city many times before 'but I'm sure today will be the biggest day." Johnson called it "a great day for New York and for America." He lauded the Glenn family as "typically American" and said the nation was "proud of the character and confident of the of all its seven as tronauts.

A few minutes later the official party headed lor Manhattan in 26 cars led by 50 motorcycle police. In one there was Sir Harry How ard, lord mayor of the city of Perth; Australia, whose people turned on their lights for Glenn as he soared overhead La the dark phase of his flight. Coming down Manhattan along the East River Drive, the proces sion was cheered by about 20,000 people along an eight-block stretch.

Kennedy- (Continued From Page 1) ministers should start off the dis armament conference. Khrushchev, U.S. officials said Wednesday night, will do everything possible to make the United States pay a heavy propaganda price for any atmospheric tests.

In his latest note to Washing ton, the Soviet premier urged Kennedy not to resume the at mospheric tests, saying a new round would raise doubts about Kennedy's sincerity in disarm a ment negotiations. He also renewed his threat that if the Western powers conduct tests, the Soviet Union would re sume its testing. Kennedy said his decision on testing would be made only on the grounds of military necessity. If the decision was to test, he it would be to protect the security of the nation and the Allies security that some U.S. officials and congressmen fear was threatened by the Soviet Un ion string of nuclear bursts last fall.

Then the Soviet Union broke an informal test moratorium by set ting off about, 50 explosions, all but.one in the atmosphere, and climaxed by a mammoth explo sion of 55-60 megatons. The fallout-spewing blasts, coming at the time of the Berlin crisis, sharpened world tensions. Kennedy ordered the United States to begin fallout-free under ground testing while government agencies -studied, what gains the Soviets made in their nuclear ex plosions. Kennedy administration offi cials after detailed analysis of the Soviet tests-decided the So viet Union made headway. recently that the United States was still in front in the nuclear arms race.

But he said that as long as there is no enforceable international test ban agreement it would be dangerous to risk an other series of Soviet tests with out additional testing. And late last year Kennedy ordered the Defense Department to prepare for the test in case he decided they would be needed, years ago. The planes are capable of speeds of more than 600 miles an hour. The scene of today's crash, near a wildlife sanctuary, was one ot desolation. Bodies were scattered over huge area.
