The key question apneared to be whether the Air Force FlOOF fighter-trainer was falling out of control when it crossed the path of the United Air Lines plane or whether Its instructor nilot simply failed to see the silver airliner during a controlled descent. If the former, the accident was "one-in-a-million freak," a CAA spokesman said. In any case it appeared likelv the CAA would take some action to decrease the chances of another such accident. But spokesmen emphasized they cannot, with present facilities, undertake to monitor every military training Sight in the air. The Air Force has said It has 1,150 olanes in flight at all times.

Would Waive Jurisdiction OWOSSO, Mich.

(UP) The Shlawassee prosecutor plans to file a petition for waiver of jurisdiction In the case of Douglas Martin, 16, charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm. Martin is being held in the Shl- awassee County jail, for the Sunday night snooting of Charles" Fox, 37, on the Daniel Quick farm in Venice Township. Prosecutor Jay M. Terbush said the petition would be filed in County Probate Court. Martin Is a ward of tha: court.

The waiver would allow him to be prosecuted In Circuit Court. Terbush said Marun shot Fox In the shoulder and arm with WASHINGTON (UP) Defense Secretary Neu H. McElroy assured Congress today that civilian control of the armed forces would be "fully retained" under President Eisenhower's defense reorganization plan. In a strong defense of the plan before the House Armed Sen-ices Committee, McElroy said the "future security of our nation" depends on a sound overhauling of the Pentagon so that It can cope moer effectively with the missile age. McElroy was the leadoff witness in hearings on the President's proposal that may run for weeks.

Committee Chairman Carl Vln- son (D-Ga.) has assailed the plan as one that would set up a "Prussian-type supreme high command" and open the way for a "man on horseback" to control the country --a charge Elsenhoiver has called "nonsense." As if to answer Vinson, McElroy said "civilian control is fully retained" in the hands of the 1 employed. It would provide for 15 ployment compensation. Knowland said the Democratic plan, approved by the House Means Committee Monday, appears to go "much farther than administration proposals and would very seriously jeopardize federal-state relationships" in this field. He said the President shared that feeling. Knowland said there will "certainly be a major effort" in the Senate and probably in the House to prevent upsetting the traditional federal-state relationship In the field of unemployment compensation insurance.

The President recently seat Congress a proposal for extending the period of jobless payments. It would extend by 50 per cent the varying periods for which jobless workers who have exhausted their unemployment compensation may draw benefits. The administration plan would not Increase the amount of jobless nay nor provide benefits for any workers not now cohered by state unemployment i a programs. Under the plan, the federal government would foot the bill for the added payments, but stares would have to reimburse the federal treasury later.
