April 12 (AP) ---A B-29 bomber carried all airmen aboardbelieved to be 13-to fiery deaths in a crash last night into Sandia secret weapons base. Thirteen crew members were listed on the loading report. An air force official warned how. ever the death toll cannot be determined with absolute accuracy until an actual count of bodies is made. The air force drew a tight secrecy curtain on the tragedy in a remote area of the atomic bomb assembly installation.

Newsmen Barred Newsmen were barred from entering the area, a spot 7,000 feet high in the Manzano mountains. The scene is some five miles east of Sandia headquarters and 17 miles east of downtown Albuquerque. A road block was thrown across the only trail leading into the area, just off transcontinental U. S. Highway 66.

The giant Strategic Air Command plane from Walker base at Roswell, N. plunged to the ground and burned" three minutes after it took off from nearby Kirtland field. Emphasizing secrecy cloaking the locale, one officer observed: "Not even the President of the United States could get into the place." Burns For Hours The Superfortress burned for more than two hours. Flames shooting high in air were visible from a distance of 15 miles. The air force said no buildings were involved in the crash.

Officials declined to say, however, whether the plane fell in an area about which there, have been guarded reports in the past hinting at underground atomic lations. Officials at both Walker base the bomber's home field, and air force headquarters in Washington referred all queries to Brig. Gen. Howard G. Bunker, commanding officer of the Air Force Special Weapons command.

Kirtland is a Special Weapons Command base. It was the second tragedy at Sandia in slightly less than a month. Fifteen military prisoners died in a flash fire at the base prison March 8. The bomber was reported on a navigational training flight. It was en route from Roswell to Albuquerque to Carswell base at Fort Worth, thence back to Roswell.

Expectant Doe Killed by Auto LANCASTER-Fairfield county Game Protector Clarence (Rusty) Hiller reports that a deer was struck and killed by an automobile on Route 159 between Amanda and Tarlton Sunday night or early morning.

Adirondacks Invaded by Coyote-Dogs WASHINGTON, April 12-(P A new beast of prey, cunning and cruel, has appeared in the Adirondack mountains and in some other -scattered areas of the United States.

A coyote dog hybrid, it is swifter than one of its forebears, the dog, and even more wary than other, the keenly intelligent coyote, says the Fish and Wildlife service. And it's more vicious than either, the agency adds. "We've run into the coyote-dog hybrid before," said Clifford C. Presnall, assistant chief of the service's predator control division. "A few years ago it became a menace in Kentucky but we put on a control campaign and cleaned it out.

"But now, in the Adirondacks it seems for the first time to have become a fairly stabilized typea type that been breeding for several generations. Hunting techniques used against coyotes in the thinly-populated west cannot safely be used in the more heavily settled east." In the west, the prolific coyote is kept in check by hard-riding ranchers and forest rangers who hunt him down from the air in small planes, chase him to earth with greyhounds and fast horses or plant poison pellets in the carcasses of dead animals on which he might feed. But even if these methods could be used in the Adirondacks, government experts are not sure they would work with the coydog, doyote, coyog or yhatever, you want to call the cross-breed.

"But I won't do it," he afford libel suits." The former managing editor of the Communist Daily Worker was in Midland for a lecture. While here, he was notified of subpoena to. appear before a Senate sub-committee investigating McCarthy's charge that Lattimore is a Soviet agent. Budenz, named as McCarthy's "mystery witness," would offer no comment on the dispute. But he did say that he had never met, with, given documents McCarthy.

talked, "In justice to the investigating he said, "I cannot say anything further." McCarthy has indicated that he hoped Budenz's sworn testimony, will show the committee that Lattimore is a communist. Testimony given before such a group cannot be used as a basis 12. (AP) -Ex-communist Louis to the Sen. McCarthy-Owen he could name 400 "concealed" declared here last night. "I can't for libel charges.

Budenz, now a professor of economics at Fordham university New York, told a press conference that the whole policy of the Communist party in the United States is to place its adherents in positions of importance. "One Alger Hiss in the state department," he declared, "is worth several hundred thousand other Americans." He quoted Earl Browder, former communist chief, as saying that the party is "very small, but big in influence." The 400 "concealed communists," he said, are in various organizations that control public (opinion and policy persons, he said, are given exemptions from Communist party membership.

End Suspicion Of Treason, Taft Demands WASHINGTON, April 12 (A)- Sen. Taft (R-Ohio) demanded today that -President Truman "eliminate any suspicion of treason" from the administration "if he can."

McCarthy (R- and of prejudging McCarthy's charges of communism in the state department Hearing Set April 20 As Taft let fly at the President, the stage was set for former communist Louis Budenz and Owen Lattimore, Far Eastern affairs specialist and Johns Hopkins professor, to confront each other at a public hearing April 20.

McCarthy has said Budenz will swear he knew Lattimore to be a member of the Communist party. Lattimore testified under oath last week he never has been a communist and he never knowingly has promoted the cause of communism. He also flatly denied McCarthy's contention he is Russia's head spy in this coun- try. Doesn't Know Budenz Lattimore said in a statement yesterday he does not know Budenz, and "to the best of my recollection I have never met and have never been associated directly or indirectly with him." Lattimore added he has no information as to what Budenz plans to tell the Senate foreign relations subcommittee investigating McCarthy's accusations. The committee voted yesterday to subpoena Budenz next Monday, but later agreed to Budenz's request that his appearance (Please Turn to Page 2, Col.

Truman Urged To Nip Crime In Kansas City WASHINGTON, April 12 (P)- Sen. Kem called on President Truman today for action to wipe out what the Missouri Republican called an 'unholy alliance" between politics and crime in Kansas City. Kem said in a speech prepared for the Senate that unless the federal government acts before May 27 to bring indictments in the 1947 theft of ballot boxes there the statute of limitations will bar prosecution.

"After that date," Kem said, "the President of the United States, the attorney general and the department of justice will be powerless to act." He declared "the recent bloody killing" of Charles Binaggio, a leading figure in Kansas City politics, and his henchman, Charles Gargotta, were not isolated crimes. Kem said both had been allied with the Pendergast political machine in former years but that Binaggio recently, "has operated his own political organization in to that of Pendergast." Sen. Brewster (R-Me) told reporters earlier that violence in Mr. Truman's home state had forced Democratic Senate leaders to approve a $150,000 crime investigation. Lucas (Ill), the Democratic majority leader, said "We haven't been dragging our feet on an investigation." He said a Senate group will make a full check on crime syndicates operating in interstate commerce.

Rocky Fork Lake On Summer Slate GREENFIELD Construction of the proposed Rocky Fork lake in Highland county will be started sometime this summer. A. W. Marion, state conservation commissioner, said the project has been given top priority and engineers are completing detailed plans and specifications for the dam. The specifications should be entirely completed during the month of April, he indicated.

Audience 'Hired' for Brannan Louis Budenz WASHINGTON, April 12 (P. Use of agriculture department funds to an audience for a speech by Secretary of Agriculture Brannan is charged by two Republican senators. Brannan was out of the city and not available for comment. Sen. Aiken (R-Vt) said in Senate speech that 5,000 1 Minnesota farm committeemen were "virtually instructed" to attend a St.

Paul meeting at which Brannan spoke and that as "special inducements" they were promised regular pay and travel allowances. He labeled it an illegal use of farm funds -a charge promptly backed up by Sen. Ferguson (R- Mich). Ferguson demanded that Atty, Gen. McGrath take action.

Aiken estimated the April 4 meeting cost between $50,000 and $100.000 and said the money must have come from funds allocated to Minnesota for soil improvement work. He said the conference was supposed to be concerned with planning a 1951 soil conservation program, for Minnesota, but he called Brannan's speech "poliitcal from start to finish." (AP) -A hot war with Russia as a result of an airplane shotting scrape or any other single incident is regarded by American diplomatic and military authorities as highly unlikely. At the state department and Pentagon, there no inclination to treat lightly an official protest from Moscow that an American B-29 type bomber had violated Soviet territory in the Baltic area, fired on Russian fighter planes and been fired upon in return. But neither was there so much as a suggestion that either country might want to go from there to knock chips off shoulders. U.

S. officials indicated that the truth of the matter may be that an unarmed American navy patrol plane, missing since Saturday, was shot down by Russian fighters. The next step appears to be: A tartly worded rejection of the Russian protest. A complaint of our own that the Soviets evidently shot down an unarmed American plane. A sharpening of tension and a further deteroration of relations, just as there were when Russia blockaded BerJin.

Additional exchanges of angry notes. Yet officials here say we certainly don't want to pick a fight with anyone and they have an idea the Russians want to avoid one within the foreseeable future. They reason that since World War IL the Reds have pushed the frontiers of communism forward here and there without using milItary force and probably will want to see how far they can go with the process. So they look for continued Russian probing for weak spots, continued pressure short of the use of arms. If the Russians did knock down the missing U.

S. patrol plane, the Moscow protest could be viewed as an application of theory that a good offense is the best defense. The Soviets protested yesterday that an American four-engine military plane of the B-29 type flew over Latvian territory last Saturday, shot at a flight of Soviet fighter planes and "disappeared" Danes Say U.S. Mistaken About Sighting Life Raft COPENHAGEN, 1 Denmark, April ties today said the pilot of a Danish U.

On Monday, Harris sentenced Bridges to five years for perjury. A jury last week convicted the CIO longshore leader of having lied swearing he was not a communisthe signed his naturalization papers in 1945. Bridges is free on $25,000 bond pending an appeal. Robert McMillian, assistant U. S.

attorney, argued yesterday that perjury conviction made cancellation of his citizenship a formality. But he agreed with defense attorney Vincent Hallinan that there is little law on the subject. Harris said he would study the statutes. Meantime, he directed both sides to file formal briefs. That will take 24 days.

Harris will rule some time after that, but indicated he will take plenty of time for study. FIGURE IN SIDESWIPE Involved in a sideswipe crash on the Blaine highway, south on Route 50 west, at 7 p. m. Tuesday, were autos of Clatus Black, 38, of Route 7, and James E. Uhrig, 19, of Route 8.

Rescue boats and an amphibious plane capable of landing on the water were rushed toward the raft--first possible clue to the lost since it disappeared Saturday on a flight from Frankfurt, Germany, to Copenhagen, Denmark.

Russia announced yesterday in a strongly-worded protest note to the U. S. that an American B-29 bomber had fired on a Soviet fighter plane over Latvia, on the Baltic coast, Saturday and disappeared after the Red plane returned the fire. American officials expressed the belief that the Russian note referred to the Navy plane- a -engine, single-tail version of the B-24 bomber. They said the Navy plane was unarmed and had instructions not to fly over Soviet territory.
