Patterson Among Plane Spears Thru House, Explodes ELIZABETH, N. Jan.

22 A rain-lashed airliner dived with a flaming roar into a heavily populated residential area here Tues day killing all 23 aboard, including' former War Secretary Robert P. Patterson. At least three other persons and probably a fourth perished in their homes when the silver plana rammed into a small aprtment house, bringing the total death toll to 27. The bodies of three children were recovered tonight from the charred debris. A mother of two of them is missing.

The twin-engined American air liner, attempting to land by radar, thundered out of the fog and smashed into the three-story frame building at 3:45 p.m. (EST). The Convair exploded like a bomb. Flames shot through two adjac ent dwellings and turned the entire closely-built residential section into a crackling inferno of fire and flying debris. Screams came from the burning buildings.

The Buffalo to Newark plane, caught in heavy fog and rain, narrowly missed Battin high school for girls as it rocketed down over Williamson street, 2.8 miles short of Newark airport. The crash ripped the frame dwelling into splinters, and turned an adjoining three-story brick apartment house and a frame duplex house into a sea of flame. Elizabeth is about 12 miles south west of New York City. Patterson. 60 years old, had been in Buffalo today on a private law case and had boarded the plane after a last-minute decision to cancel his train reservation.

In Washington, President Truman called him "a great American and a great public servant" and said his death was a tremendous loss to the nation. In addition to the 18 passengers, the plane carried a crew of three and two company personnel. Some residents, near hysteria, dashed out of the blazing buildings. One small boy ran screaming, his clothing afire until a bystander stopped him and put out the flames. I can find them i can find them," sobbed a workman, Albert Ragone, who returned home from his job and found his home in flames and his wife and two sons missing.

The lads were found later in the ruins. By nightfall, the fire was under control, the platoons of rescue workers clawed through the great, smoking heaps of wreckage in search of more victims. Elizabeth's mayor, James T. Kirk, issued a demand for reloca tion of Newark airport to remove an "umbrella of danger" from the city. Two major plane crashes nave occurred here within a month.

Only 38 days ago on Dec. 16 a non-scneauien iMewarit-to-riorioa transport plane crashed about a mile away from the scene of today's tragedy killing all 56 persons aboard. Joseph O. Fluet, regional direc tor of the Civil Aeronautics Board, launched an immediate on-the-spot investigation. In.

Washington, New Jersey Republican Senators Hen-drickson and Smith demanded a thorough inquiry. The ceiling was down to 400 feet and visibility cut to three-fourths of a mile as the plane headed for runway 6 at Newark. The plane pilot, Capt. Thomas J. Reid, 31, lived only three blocks from the spot where the plane crashed at 306 Williamson street.

Jan. 22 General Dwight D. Eisenhower today urged the nations of Western Europe to draft a constitution for a history-making United States of Europe, At the same time the general published officially his belief that war with Russia is not imminent. Eisenhower believes Russian leaders realize it would be "very foolish" to start a global war now, but cannot say what they might do in the future. Barring a shooting war, the West is likely to win the cold war, he added.

The Supreme Atlantic Commander gave his views in a news conference with the newly formed SHAPE (Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers in Europe) correspondents association on Monday. He held up release of the ideas un til today so that off-the-record re marks could be removed and the transcript approved. The five-star general, who last July 3 in London called for estab lishment of a "workable European federation" and lashed out at "procrastination" and "timidity," said the Western nations should an nounce at once their intention to call such a constitution drafting session. Eisenhower emphasized his conviction that a European economic and political union is the only solution of the problem of the permanent security of Europe. "There must be progress towards unification of Western Europe," said the general, "if the objective of permanent security and peace are realized." Of the call for economic and poli tical union Eisenhower said: "That does not mean we cannot produce a temporary military equi librium without this development.

"But we are talking about long-term, permanent peace a scheme that will allow Europe to be prosperous."
