CAA officials, contacted at their Roosevelt Field offices, said they had no knowledge as to the identity of the plane, or its home field. They said it might have come from any of the numerous private fielda surrounding New York. They reopened Roosevelt Field late yesterday, when hearing of the incident, in order to conduct a thorough investigation.

April, 1943 Starts the Story. Some legal observers, after studying the indictments, voiced the belief that the government strategy is more likely to hinge on the production of vast quantities of documentary evidence, plus the testimony of former Communist insiders. It was indicated the government will concern itself only with actions after April 1, 1945.

It was around then that plans were made to disband the National Communist Political Association as the Reds called themselves during their period of wartime collaboration and to reorganize, the indictments charged, as the "Communist Party of America, a society, group, and assembly of persons dedicated to the Marxist Leninist principles of the overthrow and destruction of the Government of the United States by force and violence." The reorganization was completed in the next few months. of people would like to have a steak once more a house once more and are convinced that present foreign policy is leading us toward war."

In return, the ADA got a harsh tongue-lashing from Dr. Rexford Guy Tugwell, chairman of the party's platform committee. The ADA challenge, cried Tugwell, breezed into town on the wings of a heat wave and welcomed Communist aid. Perspiring, Wallace's running mate said he was willing to have any Communists, "red or pink," support the ticket. The pinks, at least, will vote for his ticket, he said.

And the red Communists, he believed, will go for Gov. Dewey. The Red Communists, Taylor defined as revolutionists. "They will support Dewey because that's the best way to get a revolution through another Hoover Administration," he said. "The pink Communists want progress by democratic process, by evolution, not revolution." Taylor was asked whether he still stood behind the crack he made in the West recently that he would welcome even the aid of bank robbers.

"No," he said, "I was just joking." "No doubt a lot of bank lobbers vill vote this year," Taylor added, "but they will vote for Dewey." Taylor included New York and California as among the states his ticket would carry. "We will be elected in November," he declared. Stakes Prediction on Steak.

in the Pentagon. Bevin Ready to Meet If Reds End Blockade London, July 22 (U.R). Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin said today that he is ready to attend a meeting of the Big Four foreign ministers "at once" to discuss any question Russia desires if she will first end her blockade of Berlin. It was the first time anv of tha three western foreign minister Must Prove Teachings. To convict, therefore, the Government must provs to a jury that the party, in instructions to leaders and members and in its schools and classes, actually taught and advocated the duty and necessity forcibly overthrowing and destroying the U.

S. Government. This goes far beyond mere instances of espionage. A number of former Communists have changed their views in the last few years and have helped inform the government on far-reaching Red activities. Observers believe some of these known" witnesses will assist the Government's case, as will a number of other important figures who have never turned publicly against their former comrades.

Earl Browder, head man of the party until it tossed him out in 1945 as a "bourgeois liberal" and 'revisionist," was one of the scores persons questioned by the special grand jury during its 11-month investigation. Browder has said some harsh things about the Foster clique, but it seems unlikely such a case-hardened individual would do anything to harm the Communist cause, however much he detests many of his erstwhile associates. Yet even though Browder has a job as American representative of Soviet book interests, Foster and the other defendants probably won't feel entirely at ease about Browder for months to come. (Continued from page S) Memorial Park bathing beach and the beach at Bayyille were polluted, although not sufficiently to close them. Stanco said both odor and pollution were traced to the cesspool which had overflowed into the Sound at a point beside the comrades' beach.

Follow Their Noses. Stanco and his deputies set out to trace the thing that was crinkling some of the most aristocratic noses in Long Island and the trail led to the Russian-occupied estate. Among the indignant officials who accompanied Stanco to the big iron gate surrounding the shore side of the estate were his deputy, Har-land Phillips, and George Sumner of the Nassau County Public Health Department. They were met, Stanco related later, by a gent who identified himself as Comrade J. Krasivoco and who said he was in charge, operating directly from the offices of the Russian UN delegation at 680 Park Ave.

The Glen Cove delegation explained why it had come and asked admittance, but he vetoed the proposal in typical USSR diplomatic style. As Friendly As Usual. "You look after your people and we will look after ours," Stanco quoted him as saying. "We do not need you here. Laws for American people do not concern us.

them that neither the t-mell nor the overflow of sewage "was as bad" as they had been. And that was as far as the officials got. Offer a Discussion. Mayor Lul 3 Mercadante began negotiations yesterday to make a full inspection of the premises, including the house. Again he and the others went to the estate.

They were permitted on the grounds, but at tlu; house were confronted by three women. They refused to let Mercadante enter but made a tentative appointment for him to show up today to discuss the possibility of inspecting the house of mystery with personages sufficiently influential to carry on such negotiations. "We'll find out just what's here tomorrow or I want to know the reason why!" the Mayor told them. The city authorities said they noticed that the cesspool was overflowing in such a manner it would hit the Sound at high tide. The place was smelling high again.

Mrs. Haas FSies Home Cairo, July 22 (JP). Mrs. Stephen Haa3 of Philadelphia, whose husband was stoned to death by Arabs Sunday, left by plane today for New York. Her husband's body is being sent home by ship for burial.

WTe have our laws and you have your laws." The officials asked if they could make a fire inspection. "Our people," said Comrade Krasivoco, "do not smoke in bed. They are very careful. We will have no fires." Inasmuch as approximately 50 persons were visible on the grounds, the visitors wanted to know just how many persons occupied the premises. They pointed out that the zoning code forbids more than 15 persons at a private residence.

Stanco also wanted to know if the sanitation facilities were all they should be. Couldn't the Glen Cove officials enter the grounds Krasivoco said no. He assured Stanco the sanitation facilities were "adequate." Manage to Enter. Still determined to get a look, the Glen Cove group arranged to get past the gate through the real estate firm of Lou Goldberg and Brothers, who rent the estate to the Russians, and this time the officials were admitted. They visited the place Tuesday.

There weren't many people on the grounds, Stanco said, but quite a few could be seen peeping down from upper windows of the three-story mansion. The visitors noted tliat the cesspool situation was apparently improved although the odor lingered on. Comrade Krasivoco assured naa gone so far in an attempt to end the Berlin crisis, and represented a major concession to Russia. In their last note to Russia, the western allies offered to discuss the Berlin situation alone. It was believed that Bevin's statement today, and the statement of Secretary of State Mat-shall yesterday might be diplomatic bait to learn just how eager the Russians are for the four-power negotiations they have long asked.
