Jetliner Crashes TISBURY, England (AP) -- Britain's new pride of the skies, the flashy One - Eleven short - range jet airliner, crashed in flames near this small south- west England town today and seven test pilots and ohservers aboard died in the wreckage. Six countries, including . the United States, have ordered about 60 of the airliners.

The crash area is about 100 miles west of London. Five fire trucks raced to the scene and found the burning wreckage scattered over a piece of woodland between the vil- lages of Wylye and Shaftesbury. The plane was the only flying prototype of the One-Eleven. Some 8,000 workers and four factories are working to develop short-range jets to replace pres- ent turbine-propellor planes. A spokesman at British Air- craft Corporation confirmed the crash of the One-Eleven. It was the prototype of the plane with which Britain hoped to capture the world's short-range jet mar- |ket. | This plane was successfully tested Aug. 20 at Bournemouth. The BAC spokesman said the One-Eleven crashed just before noon 18 miles west of Boscombe Down in Wiltshire: This was U.S. May If Car Parts Cut MONTEBELLO, Que.

Grain Shipments Still Continue MONTREAL (CP)--The con- tinuing walkout by members of the Seafarers' International Union (Ind.)! in defiance of federal government orders to s\return to work has had little ; |immediate effect on the ship- ment of grain out of Canada. Union organizers in Montreal said meetings at SIU halls, ear- est the vessels abandoned by the sailors, are scheduled to be held around noon today in the face of government threats to take disciplinary action aga'nst the sailors and union officers for violating federal labor laws. Although movement of graia out of St. Lawrence River ports is reported to be "normal" by department of transport offi- cials, there were fears a pro- longed SIU walkout would soon empty grain elevators in East- sj/ern Canada. SIU crews on the West Coast did not join in the walkout. Following Monday's march on Ottawa by an estimated 2,000 SIU members in protest against a government trusteeship over five maritime unions, scheduled meetings in union halls Monday night did not materialize.

Ginny Lashes Navy Vessel; Crew Safe NEW YORK (AP)--The navy destroyer escort Fogg, caught in the whiplash of hurricane Ginny, rode 25-foot seas today without engine power. But two U.S. Coast Guard vessels stand- ing by her off North Carolina reported her 10-man crew was Safe. A decision on what to do about the Fogg will await weather de- velopments today, a coast guard spokesman said. The 306-foot decommissioned vessel had drifted south about 70 miles through the Atlantic since breaking loose from her tow Saturday night. The coast guard cutter Casco reached her Monday night, some 46 hours later, after the Fogg was spotted by a navy hurricane-hunter plane. The Casco, a 311-foot patrol gunboat, was joined by the cut- ter Chilula in standing watch within 1,000 yards of the Fogg, reported about 100 miles east of Cape Fear, N.C. The coast guard said latest jweather advisories indic- ated that Ginny, packing 80- mile-an-hour winds extendnig 50 miles in all directions from the centre, may drift to the south- west, bringing her even closer to the Fogg. tinued his efforts to mediate the Algerian-Moroccan border dispute today, but Morocco held out little hope. for a quick set- tlement. (Reuters news agency re: ported that officials in Marra- kech, Morocco, said about 150 Algerian troops attacked the Moroccan border post of Hassi Taghoucht at dawn _ today, breaking a 48-hour lull in the border fighting.) "The position of the two coun- tries on the frontier question remains the same," Moroccan Foreign Minister Ahmed Balaf- tej told reporters Monday shortly before the 74-year-old emperor boarded a plane in Ra- bat, the Moroccan capital, for Algiers. Selassie had several meet- ings in Morocco with King Has- san II in an effort to mediate "committee of 13" in charge of the protest had decided to sched- ule the meetings today and that the SIU members would remain on shore at least until after the "discussions."' Neither Hal Banks, union pres- ident, nor members of his ex- ecutive were seen at union head- quarters in downtown Montreal Monday night although they were reported to have returned from Ottawa, Port officials reported ships were moving in and cut of Mont- real harbor "as usual" because most graim carriers were able to dock at, and sail from grain- loading sheds without help. Besides the 35 ships tied up in Montreal Harbor, at least an- other 54 ships wer tied up in seven Ontario ports between Kingston and Port Arthur. Port officials in Port Arthur were reluctant to pass out moor- ing posts to ships waiting for a berth while the SIU walkout continued and there were fears continued rail deliveries of grain to Lakehead elevators might be- gin to back up if the loading operations remained stalled. The Winnipeg grain exchange urged renewed government ef- forts to keep grain moving in the face of the SIU. walkout. SIU MEMBER ON FUTURE 0 OTTAWA (CP) -- A legal showdown loomed today with seamen and their union who marched 2,000 strong on Par- liament Monday in defiance of a federal back-to-work demand. Steps are "under considera- tion and will have to be viewed in the light of what happens' today, Prime Minister Pearson : |told the House of Commons as |the marchers withdrew. "We'll know the situation when: we get back to our ports," President Hal C. Banks of the Seafarers' International Union of Canada told lieutenants in or- dering dispersal of the picnic like and peaceful three - hour demonstration. "We'll know what to do then." Members themselves would decide whether to end the walk- out that has been termed an il- legal strike by the government, he said. From Montreal SIU headquarters later came word that meetings would be held to- day by the men who had made idle 57 ships from the Lakehead eastward--starting .about noon with the return of the demon- strators, OAKLEY HONORED Oshawa's Alex Oakley has been selected to represent Canada at the 1964 Olympic Games in Japan, it was learn- ed today.

A spokesman for one com- pany, Republic Steel Corpora- tion, said the subpoenas "took the industry by surprise." An across-the-board increase of $6 a ton by most major steel producers within 48 hours in April, 1962, erupted into an epic business-government clash. The increase was dropped under White House pressure. Among other things, a grand jury investigation was gain but nothing came of it. IS CONCERNED President Kennedy expressed "concern" earlier this month over selective increases last spring and this fall covering about 70 per cent of all steel products. Besides Republic, the third- ranking producer, companies confirming receipts of subpoe- nas Monday included U.S. Steel, Bethlehem Steel, National] Steel, Jones and Laughlin Steel, Youngstown Sheet and Tube and Wheeling Steel, All except Wheeling are among the big eight producers; "If after that we are still un- popular we shall lose the elec.) tion," he said.
