Kampala, Uganda, Jan. 21.

A British Comet jet-liner crashlanded at Uganda's Entebbe airport today and escaped disaster by just three inches. The Comet, world's fastest service airliner, screamed in to land on a London-Johannesburg flight and touched down on

a cliff-edge 50 yards short of the runway.

Its undercarriage straddled a concrete pillbox on the extreme edge of the cliff. A cross-girder between the wheels scraped the pillbox top.

Then

the plane bounced on to broken ground short of the runway. A wheel hit and killed an African work-

man.

"I believe that apart from the 10s, she earns looking after her parents, she has no other income," said a detective officer to the magistrate.

To obey a command is to do what one is told but originally it meant simply to hear the command, for the word comes from the
