MADRAS. March II—Lto—The
Moslem League of the dominion of
India decided Thursday to continue

and economic Interests of Moslems '*
The Moslem League, headed by Ma-
homed All Jlnnah. was the prime
mover behind the partition of India
last year into the dominions of India
and Pakistan, the latter predominate-
ly Moslem.

Heroine
(Continoed From Page 1)
are searching the wreckage of the
four-engined craft Thursday for a
clue.
Snow fell over the mass of smoke-
blackened metal from the same light
snowstorm that had Just started when
the plane crashed into an empty field
just north of the airport a few sec-
onds after it was airborne on a flight
to Miami via Cincinnati and Jack-
sonville, Fla.
Among the first bodies palled from
the plane were those of the pilot, Capt.
Grover Lee Holloway. 36. College Park.
Oa„ and the co-ptlot. John 8. Diso-
sway, 25. Atlanta and Hollywood,
Fla. Their radio headsets still were
clamped over their heads. The other
member of the crew was the purser,
Marvin G. Hairston. 21. Avondale Es-
tates, Ga.
The list of dead included several
prominent Chicagoan.- .
Among them overe Harold L. Levy,
one of the city's leading criminal
lawyers, and his brother, Ralph, a
wealthy insurance broker, enroute to
Miami where their father was crit-
ically ill. A mistrial had been called
in a famous Chicago murder trial so
that Harold Levy could make the trip.
Barely 56 Feet in Air
The plane took off at 10:55 p. m.
CCST), speeding due north on the
runway. It was barely 50 feet in the
air. witnesses said, when it seemed to
falter, then roomed up to 300 feet,
slid off on its right wing and crashed
in a field just north of 55th street
and west of Chicago avenue.
It was enveloped instantly by flames.
Witnesses said it appeared the
plane's controls had locked.
Airlines officials doubted the fall-
ing snow had anything to do with the
crash. They said “only light fluffy
snow" was falling at the time and that
conditions otherwise were "perfect."
James H. Cobb Jr., director of pub-
lic relations at the Delta Airline's
main office in Atlanta, said it was
the second accident in which Delta
passengers were killed since the line
was founded in 1028. The previous
crash occurred in 1984. when two pas-
sengers were killed.
The airline wm awarded a special
citation by the national safety coun-
cil last year for its "outstanding safety
record.”
U. S. Blames Jap Filfth,
Denies Poison Deaths
TOKYO. March 11—(&)—A Rus-
sian assertion that 4.000 Japanese had
died after eating American soybean
flour was denied Thursday by allied
headquarters.
Col. Crawford B Sams. Gen. Mac-
Arthur’s public health officer, said
about 800 Japanese had suffered a
mild case of poisoning after esting
the flour, but there were no deaths.
He said the flour was not contam-
inated upon it* arrival but that “dirty
hands” of Japanese handlers
cooks were responsible.
