1 lost their certificates or who have

Through Crash Landing .
BOSTON. March 31—(A»>—Forty-six
passengers walked smiling out of an
American Airlines four-engined plane
at Logan airport Sunday night after
a crash-landing "scare” that drew an
imposing array of rescue equipment to
tb® Brest.
The big DC-4, flying non-stop frotn
Washington, D. C., was about to land
when pilot Capt. Roys A. Ellis of
Lynnfield, noted only two of three
lights indicating that the landing gear
was down had flashed on the instru-
ment panel.
As * precautionary measure. Ellis
radioed the field that his landing
gear was down but might not have
locked, and called for emergency
landing procedure. Immediately, fire
trucks, police ambulances and airfield
emergency equipment lined the strip.
The big ship landed normally a few
minutes later, and the passengers
stepped down the ramp smiling.
Marshall
(Continued From Fage 1)
conciled, whatever position the United
States may take,” MarshaU said.
"The Soviet delegation has suggest-
ed that it wiU be possible for the
French to have their coal and still
leave enough coal in Germany to man-
ufacture the reparations the Soviet
government demands,” MarshaU con-
tinued. "We do not agree.
Starvation Is Feril
“The French delegation believes that
after it has obWined the coal it needs
from Germany and has limited the
(German) steel capacity to 7,500.000
tons it is still worth while to study
the question of reparations out of cur-
rent production. We do not agree.”
He charged that the Russian pro-
posal to reduce German imports in
order to get reparations for Russia
would reduce German food consump-
tion to a starvation diet of 1,100 cal-
ories a day.
“Does the soviet government make
this proposal seriously?" he asked.
“The United States is opposed to
policies which will continue Germany
as a congested slum or an economic
poor house in the center of Europe.”
U. 8. t* OHer Flan
At a later date. Marshall said, the
United State* will put forth proposals
on a four-power treaty for Europe and
proposals on how "the part of Ger-
many placed under Polish administra-
tion at Potsdam can be more effect-
ively developed and used to meet the
need* of Europe for food.”
“At this time, however, and on this
subject," he said, “the United States
delegation stands for economic unity,
a common plan to balance exports and
imports at a livable standard in Ger-
many, an increase in the level of in-
dustry to bring the German productive
plant more into line with the require-
ments of Europe and. with this ques-
tion. the completion of reparations so
as not to enmesh the powers who
deserve reparations in continuous con-
troversies among themselves and with
Germany.”
Declaring "the United States recog-
nised that its responsibilities in Eu-
rope will continue and it is more con-
cerned in building solidly than in
building fast,” Marshall served warn-
ing that the United States would not
take any i
1 agreement.” ---—-------
Red* Are Answered incumbent in the race, is assured of
Answering Russian charges that the
United State* was seeking to partition ’
Germany, Marshall said the United
States had been trying for 20 months
to get economic unity of the country
"because it doe* not wish to see Ger-
many partitioned.”
Bevin s proposal, in the form of an
order of the council, would supplement
and where necessary revise the Pots-
dam agreement.

the highway department for farm-to- (
market roads. ,
| Turner said he also hopes a joint ]
conference committee can reach an
agreement thia week on the common (
school aid bill.
Senate Clip* Schrel Aid
The house passed the original Okla-
homa Education association measure
calling for an annual expenditure of
$26,500,000 out of the state general
revenue fund. The senate, however,
adopted a substitute and clipped the
figure to S18 millions annually, the
figure Gov. Turner said will be avail-
able Bor that purpose.
One of the major problems con-
fronting conferees is that of ironing
out differences over redistricting pro-
visions inserted in the bill by the
senate. , .
School leaders favor some form of
i redistricting local school districts, but
I are opposed to making the transporta-
tion area the taxing unit. Under this
plan every district which transfers its
students to another district for two
consecutive years would automatically
become a part of the other district and
be required to pay a proportionate
share of the cost.
District Millags Raised
The substitute measure also would
require every district to vote 15 mills
to participate in the minimum aid
program This requirement heretofore
was 12 mills.
Until these and other controversial
questions are ironed out, action likely
will be delayed on major appropriation
measures. Considerable spade work
on the latter has been done, but the
financial picture cannot be brought
into focus until a>t accord is reached
on the common school aid bill.
Gov. Turner said he is still hopeful
the legislature can complete its work
in the first 80 legislative days, of
which only 12 remain. If this is real-
ised. the legislature will adjourn sine
die about April 15.^

Cancer Fund Drive
Kicked Off; Goal
In County $34,000
With the length of the drive de-
pending on the generosity of donors.
Oklahoma county * annual quest for
funds to combat cancer began with
a, luncheon of leaders and workers
in ths chamber of commerce Monday
noon.
Although the drive is scheduled to
continue to April 12—and longer, if
necessary—Eugene Jordan, country
drive chairman, expressed hope the
*34,000 county goal would be reached
sooner. The total sought is divided
into $24,000 for Oklahoma City and
$10,000 for ths county outside of Okla-
homa City.
Scourge of mankind since ancient
times and affecting members of ev-
ery race, cancer is especially deadly
because often it goes undetected un-
til an incurable stage has been
readied. Jordan aaid. One of the
chief uses to which cancer funds are I
devoted is a steady educational pro- ‘
gram to keep the public warned, he
said.
The firat campaign report meeting
’ ‘will be Wednesday.
