The Caraveile airliner, owned by the Belgian Sabena airline, was on its way from Tehran,}| the Iranian capital, to Istanbul.| Its radio compass was believed to have gone out of order near eastern Turkey. Airport officials said the lane was forced to land at trevan in Soviet Armenia. The Caravelle's pilot reported to the airport here by radio that there were MiG fighters around his plane and said: "I don't know what they want from me." Then he said: 'I have to fol- low the MiG fighters. I believe they are taking me to Russia." There were no further mes- sages. The pilot said he did not know the exact position of his plane because his compass was out of order. During his last contact he estimated his position as near Van, a province of east-| ern Turkey which borders on Iran within about 40 miles of the Soviet border. The plane was reported to be carrying 18 passengers. One of| them was due to disembark at Istanbul, and the plane was then to go on to Athens, Frank- furt and Brussels.

Macmillan will fly to Bonn tonight, accompanied by For- eign Secretary Lord Home and Sir Evelyn Schuckburgh, for- eign office expert on the Berlin situation. The Berlin discussions un- doubtedly will include the Soviet memorandum to West Germany sador Hans Kroll in Moscow |Dec, 27. British officials feel the mem- orandum tried to drive a wedge between West Germany and its allies--but without success. Observers said the memoran- dum probably suggested bilat- eral talks between Russia and West Germany over Berlin.

A polite spokesman said Ottis, a patron of the east-end Belle Humeur tavern, was attacked when he tried to intervene as four men came to collect the weekly "dues" from a waiter. He was savagely beaten by the men and rushed to hospital where he died of multiple frac- tures. The 'incident came in the wake of an investigation by the newly-formed police social se- curity squad into a number of cases of vandalism against east-end establishments which have also been linked to the racket. The most recent of these oc- curred last month when rack- eteers smashed up several groc. be maimed beyond recognt- on, Dutch Premier Jan de Quay sped to the scerie as crash in- vestigations began. Dutch radio stations threw out their sched- uled programs and. replaced them with the solemn music of morning. Civil' defence workers, all available railroadmen and every ambulance in the area were rushed to the scene where heavy cranes tried to untwist the pretzel-bent wreckage. Some injured passengers were able to scramble out of the coaches on their own. "At a quarter past nine we heard an enormous bang,"' said a farmer's wife, Mrs. Van Oos- terom. "We could see nothing in the dense fog. First we thought a plane had crashed but later we heard iron grating and realized that two trains had crashed at the nearby shunt of the tracks to Utrecht and Am- sterdam."'

Ernst Feekes, a 19-year-old soldier returning from leave, said: "We heard an enormous bang and our coach was uplifted, first to the left, then it swung to the right diving downward. "After some seconds of com- plete silence we heard heart- wringing cries of people beg- ging for help" He said many people in his coach were crushed to death. He concentrated on freeing a woman who was trapped under a coach beam but his strenuous efforts failed.
