Famous Pianist Killed

In Plane Crash

WILLIAM KAPELL

AMONG THE VICTIMS

Il Known Dead

San Francisco. Oct. 29.

Famous American pianist, William Kapell, returning from a concert tour in Australia, was one of the victims identified tonight after a British Commonwealth Pacific Airlines plane on a flight from Sydney to San Francisco crashed and burnt in the hills between the coast and Sea Francisco, about 25 miles south of the city.

The plane was reported to be carrying eleven passengers and a crew of eight. By 8.30 GMT to- night, a total of eleven victims had been identified, including the 31-year-old Kapell, who had intended to leave the four-engined plane at Honolulu, the last stop before San Francisco, in order to spend a few days in Hawaii., At the last moment, how- ever, Kapell changed his mind and continued in the plane to San Francisco.

The burnt out, wreckage of the plane was spotted

by a Coast Guard helicopter, which said that the plane had hit the hillside at about 1,800 feet and had crashed into a forest of giant redwoods,

Anti-Communist Forces Unified In East Germany

London, Oct. 29.

Authoritative British sources said today that anti-Communist partisan forces operating in East Germany now are several thousand men-strong and apparently working under a unified command. The forces, operating in small groups designed to harass Communist police and communications, include a great number of East Germans who went into hiding after the June 17 Berlin riots for fear that they would be punished by the Reds, the sources said.

The information reaching London from behind the Iron Curtain indicated that the partisans are equipped
