The plane, on a routine flight from Kwajalein to Guam, caught fire, exploded and sank a few minutes after the takeoff.

There were no survivors, the air force report said. The big bomber was attached to the 19th bombardment group on Guam. The plane began its run down Kwajalein's airfield at 3 a. Kwajalein time, roared into the air off the narrow little island, then spectators saw flames in its No. 2 engine.

A few seconds later there was an explosion, and the bomber hurtled into the water. Listed as dead were: Maj. Branwood J. Wilding, plane commander. White Plains, N.

The attack was made two hours two condemned Jews committed suicide with explosives just before they were to have mounted the gallows.

Army sources said they believed tr.e "Egypt Express." bringing soldiers from that country, had been attacked by members of the Jewish underground group. Irgun Zvai Leurr.i. Four coaches were demolished, apparently by electrically detonated mines under the rails. THE MIXING TOOK place in a hooded section near Rehobot. about 10 miles southeast of Tel Aviv in the heart of Palestine's citrus belt.

After the blast, hidden gunmen were reported, to have sprayed the tram with grenades and small arrr.s fire, which was returned by the troops. Almost simultaneously another official announcement disclosed that a ship carrying approximately 730 uncertified Jewish immigrants had been spotted by British naval craft r.earmg the Palestine coast. The announcement said that the naval vessels were "in touch" with the refugee ship, but indicated that she had not yet actually been boarded. Announcement of the bombing of the military train near Rehobot followed by only a few hours an official disclosure that two condemned Jewish extremists had committed suicide in Jerusalem prison a short time before they were scheduled to go to the gallows. THE PAIR Meyer Feinstein and Moshe Barazini cheated the hangman by hugging explosives to their breasts and blowing themselves up.

Feinstein and Barazini died six cays after four other Jewish extremists were hanged in Acre prison for anti-British violence. Irgun Zvai Leumi. militant Jewish underground organization to which the hanged men belonged, had threatened vengeance for their deaths, and Palestine has been in a high state of tension. Up to today reprisals had been lirrated to minor road mining incidents and scattered attacks on British military vehicles. Feinstein.

who admitted membership in Irgun Zvai Leumi, had been condemned to death for taking part in an attack on the Jeru-sslern railway station last October, vhen armed men planted explo-jires and blasted the interior of the building. Barazini. who claimed membership in the so-called Stern gang, another underground group, was convicted of carrying a hand last month. Both men had sent appeals to the Palestine high commissioner askir.g that their death sentences be commuted to life imprisonment. FOURSQUARE CHURCH Corner Lrafland Warren REVIVAL NIGHTLY 7:30 Dr.

It was the third such meeting, but no conclusive results were announced on the apparently stalemated The afternoon meeting was to consider the financial report submitted by the internationalized port of Trieste.

The morning secret session lasted for "about an hour and a half. Secretary of State George C. Marshall's advisers in the restricted group included Gen. Mark W. Clark, the ranking American authority on Austrian questions.

Also with him were U. S. Ambassador W. B. Smith and interpreter Charles Bohlen.

There was no immediate indication as to whether any change had occurred in the Soviet position, or that of any other delegation, but speculation continued that the! western powers were hopeful of some concessions soon by Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov perhaps as a result of new instruc- tions from the Kremlin. Actually, there is nothing defin ite upon which to base such speculation except that persons familiar with what happened at yesterday's secret session of the council of foreign ministers said they still saw some chance of final agreement, implying that some compromise efforts were in the wind. Since on the main problems Yugoslavia's territorial claims against Austria and definition of German assets in Austria Molotov is facing a thrce-to-one lineup against him, he seems to be in the position either of giving ground or of having the other foreign ministers blame him for failure to finish the Austrian treaty at this conference.

All hope seems to have been abandoned for any further progress on German problems and the ministers turned to consideration of the new internationalized port of Trieste and its financial affairs. Cantrell. Warner, and Cpl. Ernest Ballew, Marietta, S. C.

It was extinguished at 11:25 a. m. (C.S.T.). The fire broke out in the already damaged wai-enouse of the Texas City Terminal Railway packed with tons of the same chemical that one week ago, almost to the minute, exploded aboard the French vessel Grand- camp, killed an estimated 575 persons and caused untold damage.

BILLOWING ORANGE smoke, the type Texas City residents have learned to fear, swept over the city. Fire trucks and a fire boat stood by, but Mayor J. C. Trahan refused to send them into the area, saying he did not want "a single other life lost." Survivors of the Grandcamp were expected to testify before a coast guard investigating board today on the blast which led to the death of hundreds and destruction of most of this little Gulf port. Recovery of five more bodies from the rubble of the explosion-torn industrial area yesterday brought the toll of known dead to 426 and Roy Wade.

Department of Public Safety official, said the final figure could not be less than 575. THE EXPLOSION of the nitrate-laden Grandcamp touchd off a series of explosions that sank three ships, destroyed the multi-million dollar Monsanto Chemical Corp. plant and left most of the city wrecked or battered. There was a new atmosphere of cooperation at the city hall as Mayor Trahan and American Red Cross officials resolved their difficulties. Sunday in a conference with Gerald Wesselius, Red Cross official of St.

Louis. Trahan had stated "the real relief that has been given to the people of Texas City has not come from the Red Cross." Wesselius had countered that "we are here to attend to all needs of all civilians of this disaster. We are certain to make some mistakes and we are always glad to rectify Wcstinghouse to Make Some Price Increases Pittsburgh. April 21 (AP) The WestiiiRhouse Electric Corp announced today that "while some lines of apparatus will require some price increase due to recent wage increases, no price advance on home appliances is contemplated at this time." B. W.

Clark, vice president in charge of sales, said in a statement: "Wcstinghouse recognizes the national need for price stability and for the lowest possible prices that will maintain a sound profit position for companies, not alone for this year but over the next few years. This is a requisite for all industry if our economy is to remain sound Westinghouse last week concluded a contract with the C.I.O. -United Electrical Workers union providing a 15 cents hourly wage increase. bulky fat and help regain slender, more graceful curves; if reducible pounds and inches of excess fat don't just seem to disappear almost like magic from neck, chin, arms, bust, abdomen, hips, calves and ankles, just return the empty bottle for your money back.
