The reports came from jun- gle areas along the Indian-Ne- pali border where tigers prowl at night through farm clearings. The reports have not been con. firmed by any sighting of the downed Dakota of the Royal Nepal Airlines Corporation. The plane disappeared Wed- nesday on a flight from Kat- mandu to New Delhi. The 10 persons aboard included Miss Clara Grindley, 45, a Toronto teacher; two Americans, Sidney B. Jacques, 51, and Oscar Cur- tis Holder, 50, both U.S, for- eign aid inspectors from Wash- ington, D.C.; and Nepal's am- bassador to India, Narapratap Thapa, 35. : The Nepali embassy in New Delhi said elephants and search parties had been sent out from Nepalganj near the' Bardia dis- trict. A report from the district ma- gistrate across the border in In- dia said the plane landed safely in Bardia and that the 10 pas- sengers were staying with a Ne- pali landlord. CONFLICTING REPORTS A conflicting message from Katmandu said a Nepali district governor in Kailali, west of Bar- dia, also had a report of a plane down with "some survivors" in the jungles of India just across the Nepali border. He said he dispatched men on elephants to check the report. There now has been three re- ports of a safe landing by the missing plane. The first report was unsubstantiated. At mid-day Friday a report circulated that the plane had landed safely just inside Nepal near Tanakpur, India. The re- port is alleged to have origin- ated with an amateur radio op- erator who could not be traced and officials put no faith in it.

Two employees were beaten with pistol butts and, with two other persons who entered the office during the robbery, were tied to pillars with wire or handcuffs. Police said the drugs -- re- ported to be an undetermined quantity of codeine and mor- phine--would have.a black-mar- ket value among addicts of possibly $100,000, The bandits are believed to have entered the premises of F.

Emilio Colombo, the Italian trade and industry iuinister, an- nounced the concessior after the six ministers wound up talks on a compromise formula before meeting with British negotiator Edward Heath. He said the six reached a common position on all the pro- posals submitted by Heath on the key Commonwealth agricul- tural issue. They accepted what he con- sidered as the most important British proposal on the central question of the enlarged com- munity's future farm price pol- icy, he said. They accepted the phrase that Commonwealth farmers should| have reasonable opportunities to export to the enlarged com- munity, Colombo said. The Common Market men, after a virtually sleepless night, had to delay meeting Heath after they resumed their taiks on a common stand this morn- ing. The six ministers were sched- uled to confront Heath about noon with a new formula after a five - hour meeting which ended shortly before dawn. But after going back into sessiun their talks dragged on and the meeting with Heath was. post products will have an adequate outlet into the Common Market. The six--France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, The Nether- lands and Luxembourg--ham- mered out the compromise dur- ing the marathon talks, but failed to agree among them- selves completely over Britain's new proposals. Fears were expressed here that, barring a swift turn of events, the negotiations would break up without completing an outline agreement on the terms of Britain's entry into the Eu- ropean Economic Community. BROACHES BELIEF? A high Common Market offi- cial early today said the six's new formula broached the be- lief that outlets for Common- wealth temperate zone farm products must be subject to reasonable reciprocity -- Com- monwealth and non - member countries could sell foodstuffs to the Common Market only if they also bought from it. . The current phase of negotia- tions was due to end later to- day but British officials felt that if insufficient progress is made, they should be renewed hete next week.
