A high official of the Soviet airline Aeroflot was injured in the crask. He is Gen, Vyache- slav Bashkirox, 'chief of the airline's international transport administration. Bashkirov was taken to the Kremlin Hospital outside the capital with severe burns, the hospital's inquiry bureau said. The plane -- which Russians claim to be the biggest in the world, with a seating capacity of 170--was taking off on an in- augural flight to the Congo (Brazzaville). In the Soviet. Union, airplane crashes are publicized only when foreigners are killed, and sometimes even in these cases details are not revealed for 'several days. -No official information on the reported accident was available, but the Tass office said this afternoon that its report on the takeoff was "cancelled." Unofficial reports said a num- ber of passengers and crew members were killed. (The Associated Press quoted airline sources as saying about one-third of the 50 persons aboard were killed.) The road.to the aifport was barred this morning, and some airline men were unable to get - through. Tass earlier identified Gen. Bashkirov as chief of Aero flot's international transport administration. ayttugnsugauguge tec eae 'Viet-- i Lesson VIET CONG MINES neds' KILL 12 IN SAIGON | "WASHINGTON (CP) -- Gen.| Viet Staff munist wars of subversion are ing debate over the Viet Nam a vi = oe] U.S. N-Bomber Flig hts HO Target Violate Treaty: Russia SAIGON (Reuters)~Two Viet unless the United States demon- strates in Viet Nam that Com- Appearing 'before the foreign) relations committee in a grow- Cong mines today showered a busy Saigon suburban street FROM LITTLE SNOW, BIG SNOWMEN GROW Only a little bit of snow graced Oshawa in the Tues- day storm, so it took a lot of fellows to put "Uncle Char- lie', an eight-foot tall snow- man together.
