Elizabeth To Fly Atlantic Ocean Tonight London (AP)--Flying weather fit for a queen was forecast for the start tonight of the six-month d-the-world commonwealth tour by Elizabeth II and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh.

Security guards at London airport kept a 24-hour watch over the American-built stratocruiser Cano- pus. It was scheduled to take off at 8:45 p.m. with the royal couple for Bermuda, traveling by way of Gander, Newfoundland. It will be the first transatlantic flight in history for a reigning British sovereign though Elizabeth, before succeeding to the throne, made the aerial crosing with her husband.in 1951 for their tour of Canada and the United States. Workmen put finishing touches in platforms for television cameras to carry the departure to an audience estimated by the British Broadcasting Corp.

at 12 million. The farewell was planned as a full state occasion, with members of the royal family on hand to see the Queen and the Duke off along with Prime Minister Churchill and the commonwealth high commissioners in London. Light southeasterly winds and visibility of about a mile were forecast Heavy clouds were predicted at about 1,000 fwt but the strato- cruiser crew planned to fly Ibote it. The- plane is due at Gander at 3:45 a.m.. Newfoundland time tomorrow (2:15 a.m.

EST) after a 90-minute stop, it is scheduled to take off for Bermuda. It is due there at 10 a.m. Bermuda time (9 a.m. EST) Tuesday. Extraordinary precautions were taken to safeguard the flight.

Eight destroyers of the British and Canadian, navies were spaced out across the North Atlantic for a radio watch of the flight to Gander. Two Royal Canadian Air Force bombers will provide a flying escort for the last 900 miles of the Atlantic hop and will accompany the Canopus for the rest of the way to Bermuda. The big a i was checked and rechecked by its ground crews, but the British Overseas Airways Corp. had a sister plane, the Caledonia, standing by to pinch hit if needed. The royal couple will be gone until next May.

During the Queen's absence, a council of state Queen Mother Elizabeth, Princess Margaret, the Duke of Gloucester and the Pirncess Royal and her son, the Earl of Harewood, will act for Elizabeth.

Newtcatts EVERY HOVR ON THE HOVR 7 AM, TO II P.M. WFLY Pact Cancels War Peiping Says Tokyo (UP)--Communist China and North Korea signed a 10-year economic pact today, wiping out North Korea's entire war debt to China, a Red radio broadcast announced. The agreement signed in Peip- ing promises North Korea $350,000.000 worth of reconstruction aid for the next fpur years. The agreement cancels all North Korean debts to China incurred from June 25, 1950--the day the Korean war started--until Dec.

31, 1953, Radio Peiping said. The broadcast did not specify what these debts were, but apparently they were the result of China's military aid to North Korea during the war. The Communist broadcast said China will give North Korea reconstruction materials valued at $350,000,000 1954 to 1957 inclusive. This valuation is based on the Dec. 6, 1952, Communist yuan exchange rate at Hongkong.

Pact Signed in Peiping. The pact was signed by Chinese Premier and Foreign Minister Chou En-Lai and North Korean Premier Kim II Sung in Peiping after 10 days' conferences between the two most powerful Red governments in Asia. The broadcast said China will aid North Korea for the next four years by sending coal, clothes, cotton, food, construction materials, transportation equipment, metal products, machinery, farming implements, fishing vessels, paper and stationery. The broadcast did not say what aid was promised for the last seven years of the pact, nor did it mention North Korean contributions. But the pact heralded a new era of cooperation between Pei- ping and Pyongyang at the very momcft the West wants to Korea under one government PrtffMtt Ftr Jttrttie.

The agreement also pirovidM for the establishment of I joint Chinese-North Korean airline to fly scheduled routes over Manchuria, apparently linking Pyongyang and Peiping. The nations will exchange technicians and laborers for training, the agreement said, and North Korean university students will be entered in Chinese schools. Chairman Mao Te-Tung, whose whereabouts had become'a mystery when Radio Peiping ignored his birthday last week, witnessed the signing. Also present was the Soviet ambassador to Peiping. The agreement was signed after day of top level in Peiping between leaders of the two strongest Communist governments in Asia.

Warning To West. The pact may represent warning the West which expects to unite Korea under one government. It indicated that Mao Tse-Tung's government expects to keep North Korea under its wing for another decade, despite the West's hope that the war-split people can be united under one government to ease war tension in Asia. United Nations officers, in Tokyo had no immediate comment on the pact, but it was known they have been wailing for the results of the Peiping conference as an indication of its possible effect on the Korean peace conference, which negotiators are attempting to ar range in Panmunjom.

It was the second time the board had refused to grant a-parole to Hiss, former state department of- fical serving a five-year perjury sentence. Parole Board Chairman Paul Tappan announced the board's action.

He did not disclose the vote of the even-man board, but issued the following statement: The Board of Parole today automatically reconsidered the parole application of Alger Hiss and agreed there should 'be no change in the previous order of denial of parole." The 49-year-old Hiss was convicted Jan. 21, 1950 of falsely denying that he passed secrets to Whittaker Chambers, the admitted former Soviet spy. Hiss began his prison term on March 22, 1951. The board unanimously turned down his first bid for parole a year ago tomorrow. With good behavior, he can leave Lewisburg, Federal Penitentiary sometime next November.

Tappan's curt announcement gave no reasons for today's decision. It was reached after a personal plea from Hiss' New York at torney Robert Benjamin, and a prison "progress" report. The board met in secret session in Washington before arriving at its decision.

POW Talks Still Stalled Panmunjom (AP)--The Korean prisoner repatriation commission today voted down a Communist plan to get the stalled POW explanations going again on Red terms.

The Red interview program remained at a standstill with only 25 days left to woo anti-Red POWs home. The Polish delegate on the commission proposed that compounds be built to segregate Korean and Chinese prisoners summoned by the Reds but not interviewed. The issue is the cause of the present stalemate. The custodian Indian command has termed such division impractical, and said there are not enough compounds to separate the POWs. The Indians have told the Communists to interview 500-man compounds' in a day, but the Reds, working slowly, have failed to do so, and have demanded the leftover POWs only part of a compound.

The Indians have refused to call them. The Swedish delegate on the repatriation commission said there is little hope for resuming the interviews. New York (UP) More than 200 sightseers visiting the Statue of Liberty were trapped on Bed- loes Island last night for five hours as fog settled over the metropolitan area. The fog, carried in from the Atlantic Ocean by 20 mile an hour winds, dissipated the six-day "smaze" (smoke plus haze) that had irritated New Yorkers' eyes, nasal passages and throats but slowed vehicular traffic to pedestrian speeds and halted shipping in the harbor. The Sightseer, official ship carrying visitors from the lower tip of Manhattan Island to the Statue of Liberty, was unable to make its scheduled return trip from Bedloes Island at 5 p.m.

because of the poor visibility. Refreshment stands on the tiny island in the normally busy harbor were kept open so that the 225 men, women and children stranded there could while away the hours over coffee and sandwiches. It was 10 p.m. before the fog lifted sufficiently for the boat to make the crossing. During their enforced stay on the island the sightseers reported the fog so thick is was impossible to see the torch in Miss Liberty's hand.

The Statue of Liberty, from the base to the torch, measures 151 feet.

With no witnesses announced in advance, the Senate internal security subcommittee called a public icaring this afternoon to put into the record documentary evidence requested from Atty.

Gen. Brownell. It was Brownell who rekindled the Cohimunists-in-govemment controversy. Brownell charged in a speech Nov. 6 that, despite FBI reports pointing to White as a spy, former President Truman promoted White in 1948 from Assistant Secretary of the Treasury to U.S.

director of the International Monetary Fund. Truman, in a nationwide radio reply, accused Brownell of "cheap political trickery" and said he permitted the promotion of White, now dead, to keep him and others accused as spies under surveillance. But FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover, testifying before the Senate subcommittee, said- he did not agree in advance to such an arrangement and that it hampered the FBI's watch on White. Last night, subcommittee counsel Robert Morris said Hoover turned down one invitation to testify in the case but accepted a second.

Morris, interviewed on an NBC television program, said Hoover decided to break his self-imposed ban on congressional committee appearances "after a story was well circulated" that he had agreed to keeping White in the government. Morris said subcommittee is not trying to put the Anger on individual Communists although testimony "very definitely" could lead to spy convictions. He said it is looking into alleged Communist infiltartion of years ago because it wants to trace a pattern of government subversion which Communists might still be follow- Drfves Ambulance To "Own Accident' Oklahoma City local attorney hired an ambulance before engaging his divorced wife's boy friend in a fist fight.

useful Italy Accepts Trieste Parley Unconditionally Rome (UP)--Italy today officially announced acceptance "without conditions" of the Big Three proposal for a five-power conference to settle the explosive Trieste situation. This action by the Italian government apparently paves the way to a speedy solution of the Trieste problem which has been a cause of bitter dispute between Italy and Yugoslavia. Premier Giuseppe Pella announced over the weekend that his government was ready to discuss the Trieste issue at a conference with the United States, Great Britain, France and Yugoslavia. But since the text of Pella's reply had not been passed on to the Yugoslav government at that time, officials in Belgrade were chary of comment pending its receipt. drainage ditch from the air- bruises and scratches, Army doc tors reported after an autopsy, but 'there was no evidence of rape or attempted rape."

One theory of investigators was that Susan was killed by someone she knew and trusted.

They believed it possible tha she got off the bicycle, parked it and then walked down the path with the killer.

Along the path, near the bicycle, was found Susan's scarf and about half the hair curlers which she had been wearing.
