Martin, 22, Lansing's first returned Korean i prisoner-of-war, plans to re-enhst in the army, he revealed Monday. xie-wiu go 10 ueuun someume this week, and if he measures up to the physical requirements, he will be sworn in for another three- Vf year term and will leave for duty the first of the year.

Monday. Other customers were affected by the broken power line, company officials said, but service was restored to them through another source in about 20 minutes. It was reported that the line which was cut had only been in use for about a year and a half, and was specifically installed to give more efficient service to Bath township customers. Comoanv officials said lights mo mentarily flickered throughout the Lansing and Ingham county area when the plane made contact with the power line. Consumers lines are hooked up with the Lansing power system for emergency use.

Dale Sheren, manager of the Davis airport, located about a mile south of the accident, said he watched Dr. Lanting's plane circle the port in the darkness a few minutes before it crashed. Its landing lights, were on, he re-ported. "I thought that he was going on into the Capital City airport to make his landing." Sheren said, adding that he did not pay any more attention, until he Saw the lights go out in a nearby house. Meanwhile Vfellustine Conley, who lives directly east of the crash scene, and his two brothers, Theron and Floyd, were in the former's home when they saw two bright flashes.

"The lights went out in the house after that, and we figured a plane had crashed somewhere in the vicinity," Conley recalled. He and his two brothers said they thought the flashes resulted from an explosion at some distant point, but later decided to drive back on the muck farm to see if the crash" had occurred there: As they neared the end of the road, the car lights Drougnt tne ripped wfng of the plane into their Immediate Investigation revealed the three occupants were dead. The Conley brothers drove to the home of a neighbor, about a mile away, where they telephoned state police and reported the accident. Ralph Oversmith, living on a farm a mile west, told officers he saw two separate flashes which lighted up the sky, but thought it resulted from an explosion far away. Arthur Davis, veteran Lansing flyer, and owner Of Davis airport, visited the scene, of the crash.

He said Dr. Lantiifg had been storing his plane at the Davis field for the past four years. He said he believed the plane's fuel supply was exhausted when thaccident occurred. The plane's tank was found a short distance away from the wrecked plane and contained only a small amount of gasoline. Davis said' Dr.

Lanting may have been trying to make a forced land ing. The only other explanation was that his altimeter readings were not registering correctly, causing the pilot to fly too low. According to Mr. Davis Dr. Lanting had been flying since 1937 under a private license, and had visited Washington, D.

and other distant points. Officials at the Davis airport said Lanting's plane had been completely overhauled recently. Dr. Lanting was director of the Lansing-Ingham Qounty health de- partment from September, 1946, to as ty of U. in of air for will at the at p.

ow, er, his in Soviet Shift Tactics Changed but Not Policies, 14-Nation Council Told PARIS. Dec. 14 (UP) Secy, of State John Foster Dulles warned today that the boviet Union is changing its tactics-7-but not its policies in an auerapi to get me western alliance to drop its guard. Informed sources said -Dulles told a secret session of the' North Atlantic treaty organization council of ministers that their 14 countries must, continue to build strength. Force, he said, is the only means of convincing the Russians to negotiate for peace on a realistic basis.

He repeated his" frequent appeal for quick ratification of the European defense community project by which troops would be added to the NATO armies. But Georges Bidault, French foreign minister, served notice, in opening a three-day NATO meeting, that France will require guarantees from the United States and Great Britain as the price of its ratification. Bidault, addressing the 600 delegates packed into the -dilapidated Palace de also welcomed Pres. Eisenhowers plan for an atomic energy pool as offering new hope lor a strite-torn world. The President's plan, Bidault said, offers a chance to establish "co-operation and association in a field where lie both the greatest prospects for progress and also the most powerful means of annihilation." Bidault made it plain that France still fears a resurgent Germany, which would provide .500,000 troops in a six-nation European army under the European defense community plan.

Mrs.

Howe said she was prepared for the shock after the 22 Americans refused to attend explanations yesterday. "It was perfectly obvious to me it was going to be a negative reply if there was to be a reply at all. I am not surprised." Asked if she thought the letter was a true expression of Richard's feelings, she said: "I think he thinks its represents his true feelings. "This' terrible thing has happened to him in a prison camp under what conditions I don't know, and under circumstances I do not understand.

Whnr, does he know of war? "The whole argument falls apart." In another passage he wrote, "It is impossible for me to live in the United States Because-1 want io live as I wish." The mother commented, "I wouldn't have any idea what he meant about "I have failed somewhere and I miist find out where, because I have three other children and I must not make the same mistake. "I believe a mother should start at birth trying to train a child for life. Perhaps I overdid it. Richard resented discipline. Perhaps that is where I made my mistake." Asked if she still wanted to see her son, she almost broke down.

"Of course I want to see my son of course I still want to see him!" She will stay in Tokyo for awhile.
