BRITISH SHOCKED
LONDON, Nov. 2—(AP)—Prin=
cess Margaret smoked a cigaret
right out in public early today.
It was a bit of a shock to the
British. It was the first time any
commoner ever saw one of the
royal family’s distaff side puffing
tobacco smoke.
Pretty, 19-year-old Margaret did
it at a Hallowe’en charity ball at
the fashionable Dorchester Hotel.
Only last week a Buckingham
Palace press officer admitted to
newsmen that Margaret lighted a
cigaret once in a while. But he
said it was only in private and
“just for a lark.”
The question came up when the
Palace released to the newspapers
a photograph of Princess Eliza=
beth’s sitting room. An ash tray
was on the desk.
Margaret coolly lighted ub
shortly after midnight at the
Dorchester party, With her were
Sharman Douglas, daughter of the
U. S, ambassador, and a party of
Gasps were heard on all sides
When the. guests saw Margaret
puffing away.

Labor Peace Hopes Rise
On Hint Of Lewis 'Angle
. *
Mine Boss Reported Seeking
* .
Quick Action On Coal Front
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. — (AP) — Hopes for labor
peace rose today on an indication that John L. Lewis, act
ing fast after the first break In the steel strike, may be
angling for a coal strike settlement, It was only a hint—
nothing conclusive. 1
Less than a day ester CIO
President Philip Murray signed a
precedent-setting welfare vlan
with Bethlehem Steel Corp,,
Lewis made a move. Ile suddenly
called a miners’ union policy
meeting for next Monday in Chi«
cago.
But why Chicago? I'he site sug
gested a possible coal peace pact
with Illinois producers. Some of
them have been reporied impa
tient for a settlement. An agree
ment with Illinois producers
would give Lewis a possible in=-
dustry pattern such as Murray
hopes he has for steel with the
Bethlehem pension insurance
contract.
A denial that Illinois operators
were wavering from the stand
taken with coal producers from
other sections came from Fred S.
Wilkey, secretary of the Illinois
Coal Operators Associztion. But
Wilkey conceded the Lewis meet
ing in Chicago was “very unus
ual.”
—— — Riluctant Terms :
Twice during the last war Illi
nois operators settled with Lewis
on terms later reluctanily accept
ed by the -rest of the :oft coal in
dustry.
Meanwhile, government offi
cials here xpected other steel
companies soon to sign up with
Murray on the same employer
paid SIOO monthly pension and
employer-worker finamced insur
ance plan as Bethleham did.
In fact, the word from Cleve
land, where Murray is presiding
over his annual CIO convention,
was that the steel strike leader
has abandoned a presidential
steel board’s recommended plan
and now is insisting that all steel
makers adopt the Bethlehem set
tlement.
3 Better Deal
Murray’s union figures it got a
better” deal from Betluchem: than
it would have gotten if the board
peace plan had been adopted.
Murray held a conference in
Cleveland last night with a repre
sentative of Jones & Laughlin
Steel Co., seeking a strike-ending
agreement. And union negotiators

ClO’s Red
Purge Begins
CLEVELAND, Nov. 2—(AP)—
The CIO ruthlessly began its
“Red” purge today, amending its
constitution to bar Communists
from union control and arranging
to bounce the nation’s !argest so
called left-wing union. -
Walter P. Reuther’s powerful
resolutions committee reported to
the conventi?n it had approved
“py overwhelming vot2” the ex
pulsion of the United Electrical
‘Workers and the Farm Equipment
Workers. : i
The .two unions had pulled off
a quick merger last week, but it
wasn’t recognized by the CIO .
The UE, with up to 450,000
members, and FE with another
20,000, will be the first to feel
the right-wing axe. Us’s delegates,
giving up the fight to remain in
the CIO, walked out the conven
tion yesterday, issued a terrific
blast at President Philip Murray
and Secretary-Treasurer James
B. Carey, and announced it would
pay no more dues to the CIO .
That was about as defiant as a
union could go without being
spanked, Reuther’s committee
took on the task of dealing out
the punishment. :

Sherman
Succeeds
Denfield
Whether Top Brass
Accord Will Result
Remains To Be Seen
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2—(AP)
—President Truman formally ap
pointed Forrest P. Sherman as
Chief of Naval Operations today.
His main immediate job is promo=-
tion of harmony in the high com=-
mand, widely split over unifica=
tion policy.
With the assignment Sherman
moves up from Vice Admiral to
full Admiral. He is subject to
Senate confirmation in both the
new post and the new rank,
It was too early to tell whether
the replacement by Sherman of the
ousted Admiral Lonie B Denfeld
would bring a smooth and easy
teamwork to the top level job of
working out the strategy for war.
Sherman and Denfeld met for
15 minutes early this morning
with Secretary of Navy Matthews
at the Pentagon.
Presumably, Matthews called in
Denfeld to formally notify him of
his removal as Chief of Naval Op
erations. Aides said he had not
been told officially he was out.
He had reporied as usuai ai his
old office today.
There also was & possibility that
Denfteld told Matthews whether he
intended to retire or take a new
Navy assignment.
Shut Door
He and Sherman left Matthews’
office smiling and chatting chum
mily, They went down the hall,
entered the office marked “Chief
gs Naval Operations” and shut the
oor.
It wasn’t until late yesterday
that the White House announced
President Truman had tapped
Sherman to become, at 53, the
youngest Chief of Naval Opera
tions in history. And the formal
commissioning was held over until
today. 5
But Sherman was one of the
original achitects for the Armed
Services Unification Plan. And
he told reporters after his new ap
pointment came through:
No Difficulty :
He still is 100 per cent for uni
fication, expects no difficulty in
getting along with other members
of the policy-making Joint Chiefs
of Staff and is *sure the Navy will
give me the support and loyalty
they have given 21l my predeces=
sors.”
Denfeld was given the bhoot
after summing up Navy eomplaints
when the House Armed Services
Committee gave them an airing,
The Navy, he said, doesn’t have a
“full partnership” in defense plan
ning. S e
The conference was held in the
Pentagon suite of Seeretary of the
Navy Matthews. The ‘wo had
just come from a meeting with
President Truman at the White
House.
All day long around the Penta
gon there had been an air of mys=-
tery.

Fifty-five persons died when this
Eastern Airlines plane crashed near the
Washington, D. C., airport after a mid
air collision with a P-38 fighter plane.
Here rescue workers probe the wreckage.
Boatmen Comb Potomac River
For 10 Missing In Air Crash
55 Killed In Nation’s Worst Air 4 '
Tragedy; P-38 Pilot Only Survivor
WASHINGTON, Nov, 2.—(AP)—Boatmen ¢ombed the
bed of the Potomae River today for the missing among
the 55 men, women and children hurtled to death from
the air yesterday in history’s worst airplane tragedy.
Many hours following the collision of an Eastern Air
lines passengar transport and a Bolivian fighter plane,
the search went on under the glare of floodlights for the
10 passengers whose bodies had not been recovered.
Shocked members of Congress,
stunned by the loss of one of their
own number, promised a complete
air safety investigation. The Civil
Aeronautics Board said its hear
ings into the cause of the crash
will start in a few days. The air
line scheduled a probe of its own.
The disaster occurred as the
big DC-4 transport headed into the
National Airport for a landing
shortly before noon, flying at
about 300 feet.
It was a routine stop on the
Boston - New York - Atlanta - New
Orleans run. Fifty-one passengers
and a crew of four were aboard.
Visibility was 15 miles. The ceil=-
ing was 6,500 feet.
Into the traffic pattern, calling
for landing instructions, came a
P-38 fighter piloted by Bolivia’s
top airman, Erick Rios Bridoux.
Bridoux was testing the twin-en
gine craft which his government
had purchased from the United
States.
An airport ifower operator a
bare half-mile away saw the P-38
bear down on the transport. He
cried a radio warning to the 28-
year-old Bolivian. The P-38 kept
coming.
Too Late
Then the tower frantically sig=-
nalled the transport. The pilot
swerved the big ship from its path,
but too late.
The fighter ripped into it from
above and from the side. The air
liner, split in half. - Bodies and
wreckage fell into the water and
along the bank of the Potomac.
The sole survivor was the Bo
livian. He was dragged from the
water with a possible broken back
and other injuries. He mumbled
to questioners that his “power”—
presumably his radio power—had
failed in the critical moments
The tragedy struck into many
towns and cities across the nation.
Among the dead were:
Rep. George J. Bates (R.-Mass.)
58, father of seven children, form
er mayor of Salem, Mass., and a
member of the House Armed Serv
ices Committee.
