TWENTY-SIX PAGES Jet Crash Kills In Florida MIAMI, Fla. (AP)--A North- west Orient Airlines jet, bound from Miami to Chicago with 43 persons aboard, plunged into the vast, Everglades soon after takeoff Tuesday and was not discovered for 64 hours. U.S. Coast Guardsmen, who spotted the Boeing 720-B from a helicopter: landed and found no indication that any of the 35 pas- sengers and eight crew mem- bers had survived.

Fishermen said they saw a fire ball in the sky.

The area, and the air over it, were closed to all but official groups. The Armed Force Hike Seen For Malaya KUALA LUMPUR, Malaya (Reuters)--The government to- day announced plans for an "'im- mediate' and "substantial" orate as a result of their dispute over the British-backed plan to form the Malaysia Federation linking Malaya and Singapore with Borneo territories of Bru- nei, Sarawak and North Borneo. GIVES WARNING (In Jakarta, Indonesian For- eign Minister Subandrio warned that if Malaysia was formed "under the present situation" a physical clash would be "un-! avoidable." | (Subandrio, in a_ statement) quoted by the official Indonesian news agency Antara, said Indo- mesia will give its "full assist- ance' to rebels in the British- protected sultanate of Brunei who oppose the merger of their territory in the federation.) 45,000 People Die In U.S. Accidents CHICAGO (AP)--Accidents in the 1962, not including those in- volving automobiles, killed 45,- 'sons, says the National Safety Council. The death toll was three per cent above the 1961 total of 43,500 persons killed in accidents 43 crash scene is nine miles from the nearest road. Coast Guard Lt. - Cmdrs. James Dillon and W. C. Wai- lace, who spied the wreck near darkness, landed gingerly on boggy ground nearby and e x- plored the scene. They said they were drawn to the area by "fires which were little parts of the burning plane." "All around us were little pieces of wreckage and a lot of luggage," Dillon said. '"Mr. Wal- lace said it looked as if all the bodies were intact. All he had was a flashlight and he couldn't see too much. The tail was broken off. The fuselage . was badly burned--gutted."' Dillon said it looked as if the airliner's pilot was "trying to bring her in' for some un- known emergency cause. Ground radio contact with the jetliner suddenly broke off at 1:42 p.m. EST. That was only seven minutes after airliner Capt, Roy W.

OTTAWA (CP) -- Mr. Justice T. M. Norris today blocked a move by the Seafarers' Inter- national Union of Canada to un- seat him as federal industrial inquiry commissioner on Great Lakes labor strife. The Vancouver jurist dis- missed an SIU motion that the judge disqualify himself on grounds that he acted as a SIU lawyer 10 years ago.

' Mr. Justice Norris said in a ruling that none of the legal services he had performed for the SIU touched on the matters under investigation. He said legal authorities ad- vanced by the SIU in support of its motion provided no basis for any disqualification. The judge's decision was given in the 97th sessior of his one- man investigation of labor vio- lence and shipping disruptions on the Great Lakes. SIU lawyer Gordon Henderson who made the move for disqual- ification, said he is "thinking" about further action.

GENEVA (AP) -- President Kennedy's chief disarmament negotiator began a series of private talks with neutral dele- gates at the 17-nation disarma- ment conference today in an at- tempt to bring the maim focus of the talks back to a ban on nuclear weapon tests. U.S. delegate William C. Fos- ter's first meeting was with Ab- del Fattah Hassan of the United Arab Republic. He also sched- uled talks with the Swedish and Nigerian delegations and with the delegates from Britain, It- aly and Canada. Vasily .V Kuznetsov, . Soviet deputy foreign minister, sur- prised the delegates Tuesday with a proposal for a treaty bewming the deployment of nu- clear weapon systems in foreign lands and seas. The proposal, unacceptable to the Western powers, over- shadowed the test ban issue as the. conference resumed after a two-month recess. Western dele- gates said Kuznetsov's proposal Mac Continuing Post EEC Plans member ship negotiations in Brussels broke down Jan. 29. After defeating the Labor teday|move, the House voted 330 to 227 in favor of a Conservative motion expressing "'full confi- dence'"' in the Macmillan ernment's ability to deal with the political and economic sit- uation following the Brussels breakdown. During the debate, Lord Privy; Seal Edward Heath, the govern- ment's chief Common Market negotiator, outlined measures aimed at keeping an "open door" to Europe following the of the talks. Heath made it clear -Britain would not take the initiative to obtain. associate Market mem- bership in place of the full mem- bership it sought at Brussels. He implied that the British answer to any offer of associate membership would depend on its terms. French - engineered breakdown] ing KAPUSKASING, Ont.

OTTAWA (CP) -- Unemploy- ment in Canada increased by 127,000 from mid-December to a total 541,000 at mid-January, the bureau of statistics and labor department said today in a joint statement. The jobless total was 4,000 less than the 545,000 unemplo: in January last year. The month's rise in unemploy- ment--described as 'about a normal change for the time of year"--pushed the jobless nate to 8.3 per cent of the labor force from 6.3 per cent in December. This compared with rates of 8.5 per cent a year earlier and 10.8 per cent two years ago. The number of persons with jobs fell sharply by 204,000 be- y' tween mid-December and mid- January to a total 5,956,000, as a result of seasonal slackening in outdoor activities and in re- tail trade, which had been busy before Christmas.

During the last few months, it said, there had been "a no- ticeable strengthening'? in em- ployment for men, reflecting a better situation in goods-produc- ing industries, But lack of growth in some service . indus- tries had resulted in fewer job for women, The month's 127,000 rise in jobless numbers was felt mainly among men. The num- ber of unemployed men in- creased by 110,000 ti 468,000, while unemployment among women rose by 17,000 to 73,000. Of the 541,000 jobless, some 416,000--more than three-quare ters of them--had been unem- ployed for three months or less, Another 71,000 had been seek- ing work from four to six months, and 54,000 for more than half a year. Although the year - to.- year gain in employment totalled 92,000, there was a rise of 129,- 000 in non - farm employment, with the largest gains in serv- J ice, manufacturing and con- struction: industries.
