PLANE HIT BY FLARE

London, Feb. 29.-One engine of a Swiss Dakota alcraft, carrying 14 passen- gers from Zurich, was hit by a flare when coming in to land at fog-bound Northolt Airport in London today.

The pilot's prompt action in switching off the engine and landing on one engine prevented the possibilty of fire breaking out. No one was hurt.

An official of the ground contact caravan, thinking the Dakota's undercarriage was going to hit the caravan roof, was said to have fired, the red flare which lodged itself in the port engine and narrowly missed the oilpipe.-Router.

The long standing deadlock j among the great powers over the question of calling a Far Eastern

peace conference, which threatens to exclude Russia from an effective voice in decisions affecting Japan, may, it is argued, have tempt- ed Moscow

to accelerate the extension of the Communist, and consequently of the Rus- sian, hold on the Far Eastern mainland.---Reuter.

Among the explanations put for- ward by political observers here, the following appear to be the most in- herently probable:

1. That Moscow, in the face of evidence that the Western powers are increasingly co-ordinating their forces to secure a tion to
