LONG ROME (AP) A TWA four- Jet airliner with 72 persons aboard burst apart in explosions today as it was about to leave Rome's Leonardo Da Vinci Airport at Fiumicino. About 50 persons were reported killed. Trans World Airlines in New York said the plane hit a truck. Capt. J.

E. Frankum, TWA vice president, said the jetliner at the time was trying to abort its takeoff. "Unfortunately, there was a truck in the vicinity of the runway," he added. Reports of the number of survivors brought to Rome hospitals varied from 20 to 25. Most were reported in grave condi tion.

The TWA office in Rome Said the plane' carried 55 passengers and a double crew of 17. Among the passengers were 26 TWA employes and their families. It was TWA night No. 800 from Kansas City, Chicago, New York, Paris and Milan to Rome, Athens and Cairo. There were conflicting reports on the time the explosion occurred.

While some persons said the blast occurred just as the plane lifted off the ground, others said it exploded while on an approach strip just before reaching the runway to begin its takeoff. An airport employe said he noticed a flame from an engine, saw the jet roll another few meters and stop. He said the doors opened and passengers began jumping out. At that moment, he said, an explosion ripped it to pieces. According to one version by witnesses, the plane actually was making its takeoff run, lifted a few feet off the a then dropped back, while the pilot tried desperately to brake it to a stop.

One wing of the plane was reported to have struck a heavy roller at the edge of the strip, damaging the wing and causing fuel to pour- out According to this version the fuel ignited and the plane exploded 200 yards farther along. First of the identified injured was Elisabeth Loretta Cartley, 39, Santa Monica, Calif.

Taylor flies home Wednesday. "Military action outside the country, Just as pure military action inside the country, will not win in itself," Taylor cautioned in the interview. "Let us say generally that the issue is very much in doubt. The winner will be the one that has the ultimate will to win. But the military aspect is only one piece of it." S.

Some observers fear Communist China then might take a direct hand. Taylor was asked about use of limited bombing of supply routes or less limited bombing on major targets in the north and what reactions would be. He said: "There are two areas where it could make a contribution--either by making more difficult the infiltration along the routes from North Viet Nam leading generally by way of Laos, or by striking the infiltration sources, the training and staging area as in North Viet Nam "These possibilities do exist but they have their pros and cons.
