Wallace 'Gag' Not Sufficient

Washington, Sept. 20.

A specific Presidential statement on America's for-

eign policy is reported to be under considera-. tion as the aftermath of the telephone ex- change between President Truman and Secre- tary of State Byrnes over the "Wallace affair." After a 20-minute exchange, word came from Paris indicating that Byrnes' concern has not been diminished by the President's action in applying a temporary gag to Wallace. Byrnes and his aides were said to feel that only a clearcut pronouncement from the President, definitely supporting either Byrnes or Wal- lace, could dispel the existing uncertainty and confusion.

St. John's, Newfoundland, Sept. 20.

At least five, and possibly seven, survived the crash of the Sabena (Belgian) airlines' four- engined Skymaster plane which disappeared on a flight across the Atlantic with 37 pas sengers and seven crew. The plane crashed in the region of Gander Lake, Newfoundland, some 22 miles south-west of Gander airport in hilly, lake-studded country, The wreckage was first sighted by a, search plane which dropped supplies before return- ing to its base at Gander, whence a land rescue party was despatched immediately the news

Preliminary reports are con-} fusing, one source anying the plane was completely burned, although all in one piece, and that trees had been levelled in an area 500 yards wide, another message saying the craft was "cracked up" but not damaged by fire.

The wreck was located by a Airlines plane on Transworld

route from Boston, Massachu scita, to Cairo piloted by Capt. Jennings.

He reported seeing five aur- vivora-two
