Mr. Ben-Gurion's plane was due at Uplands airport at 10} am. He will fly to New York Sun- day night, after visits to Que- bec City and Montreal, for meetings with United Nations Secretary - General Dag Ham- marskjold Monday and U.S. President Kennedy Tuesday. An Israeli government spokes- man said the premier's chief aims in coming to North Amer- ica are first, to impress Western Hemisphere leaders with the continuing and deepening dan- gers of United Arab Republic encroachments on peace in the prime minister of the 13 - year- Sl nsptmgent republic of Is- rael. A Canadian government source said the talks between Mr. Ben - Gurion and Mr, Dief- enbaker late today probably would encompass world affairs, Scrap Dealer Stabbed, Killed Wife Charged- scrap dealer died of stab wounds early today and his 35- year old wife was charged with murder. Police' said they found the body of Kenneth Skiba, 36, on the second floor of his home wth the two prime ministers ex- changing Middle East and North American viewpoints. WON'T DISCUSS UNEF The Canadian source said it was unlikely there would be much discussion on the United Nations' Emergency Force role in the Middle East. At present 900 Canadians are serving in the 5,000-man force, acting as a buffer between Is- rael and her Arab neighbors.

(AP) A big U.S. military transport returning servicemen from ma- noeuvres plunged into a wooded area five miles from takeoff to- day, killing 18 men and leaving four injured critically. The C-124 Globemaster fell minutes after it lifted from a McChord runway in pre-dawn darkness, headed for Fort Sill, Okla., with 15 army men and its air force crew of seven. Five men got out somehow from the shattered, burn- ing plane and were rushed to hospital at nearby Fort Lewis. One died a few hours later. One army man and three air, force crew remained in critical condition. "One of the first men at the scene heard a man calling for, help," said Capt. Joseph Wig- gins, McChord public informa- tion officer. "The survivor, in shock, was found sitting on a log near the wreckage." TOOK OFF IN FOG The Globemaster, from Don- aldson Air Force Base, S.C. took off in foggy weather about 2:20 a.m. PDT. "There was a flash in the sky," said a sheriff's officer. "We could not tell whether it came from an explosion in the air or after the plane hit the ground." The plane apparently came down sharply.

Korea Strongman To Meet Kennedy 8 Die In S. Army Air Crash ed in a heavily wooded area it cut no swath and knocked down only a few trees. "When we arrived it was a big figry mess," said sheriff's deputy Bob Benson. "It was all white, everything burning; parts of the airplane scattered around among the trees. Air police and my partner, Deputy Grant Dodge, brought one survivor out of the car. SEVERELY BURNED "Both his hands and his face were badly burned. We saw sev- eral bodies, badly charred." The injured were evacuated by a helicopter crew who brought their craft down in a narrow clearing between power lines and trees. The C-124 was returning men who had participated in recent army-air force manoeuvres. The plane came down on the edge of the Fort Lewis military reservation, adjacent to Mec- Cord. The bases are 10 miles southwest of Tacoma, Wash. 'West Germany To Get Fleet Of Destroyers LONDON (AP) -- West Ger- many's European allies today authorized her to build eight destroyers of up to 6,000 tons, launchers. The council of the Western European Union announced West Germany also would be permitted to build auxiliary naval vessels--supply ships--of up to 6-000 tons and to produce mines for the protection of its ports. The announcement said the possible for German naval forces to carry out the defen- sive mission assigned to them by the North Atlantic Treaty Russia's powerful fleet from breaking out of the Baltic into the Atlantic in any war. The Germans contended that de- stroyers smaller than 5,000 tons are too light to carry missile launchers needed to match Rus- sian weapons in a showdown, Tanker-Car Crash Kills Orillia Men PORT SEVERN (CP) -- Two| Orillia area men were killed near here early today when their car was crushed by a tanker truck carrying hot tar.

Damage to the tanker was estimated at $26,000. The crash occurred at the in- | | |tersection of Highways 103 and 501 about 25 miles northeast of Midland.

A convoy of 75 guardsmen and 100 highway patrolmen specially trained in mob control was or- dered to take the bus to the Mississippi state line. Similar precautions were in effect in Mississippi. Brig.-Gen. W. P. Wilson, ad- jutant-general in the adjoining state, flew to Meridan, near the state line, to await arrival of the bus. Governor Ross Barnett already had asked the Missis sippi Highway Patrol and na- tional guardsmen to stand by. SERVED AT STATION Before boarding the bus most of the Negro riders walked calmly to the bus station lunch counter, heretofore reserved for white passengers, ordered and obtained breakfast. Bus 'station manager, W. E. Evans, said no Negro had ever eaten there before. One white man accompanied 10. Negroes on the bus today. He gave his name as Paul Dietrich, 29-year-old theology student at the Arlington extension of the University of Virginia. He said his home is in Harrisburg, Pa. Also on the bus were three of the Negroes whose arrival Sat- urday at the Greyhound bus sta- tion touched off a wild outburst of violence. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., who led the fight against city bus segregation here five years ago, accompanied the riders to the station this morning. He did not go with them. PATROL STREETS National guardsmen, ruling Montgomery under Governor John Patterson's edict of mar- tial law, still patrolled the streets and guarded the Grey- hound bus station where the] first group of Freedom Riders was beaten unmercifully by rioters Saturday. Barnett told U.S. Attorney- General Robert Kennedy that Mississippi doesn't want any of the approximately 500 federal marshals here to aid in main- taining the peace in his state. "You will do a great dis- ing the Communistic backgrounds . . . this is well known by federal president of the United States." BLAMES REDS Patterson, in his press con- ference, said that those sponsor "freedom riders have agents." Kennedy, replying to the de- mand of the Alabama congres- sional delegation to get the marshals out of the state, took issue with Patterson. The marshals were sent only after the city and state officials failed to quell mob violence and the federal men prevented "an extremely bloody and costly riot" at the church, the attor- ney-general said. European Press Raps South Strife LONDON (AP)--The press of Western Europe today viewed the renewal of race violence in the U.S. South as a damaging blow to America's name and a challenge to the authority of President Kennedy. Beneath splash headlines, newspapers continued to give prominence to the administra- tion's efforts to stem further bloodéshed in Montgomery, Ala. "The racial conflict in the South," said the Copenhagen Jydske Tidende, "does not af- fect America's own fate only. It affects all humanity. "It is still the sorest point of the United States and a thorny problem for Kennedy. Without solving it, the United States stands weakened in the fight for human rights outside its own frontiers." Recalling that it is 100 years since the first gunfire signalled the start of the Civil War, the Stockholm Aftonbladet de- clared: "In most respects the United States has achieved more than any other country on earth dur- ing the last 100 years.

A military court sentenced 45 young people to jail terms rang- ing from three months to a year for dancing at an li d hall in violation of martial law regulations.
