About 50 persons were reported killed. Trans World. Airlines in New York said the plane hit a truck, Capt. J. E, Frankum, TWA vice-president, said the jetliner at the time was trying 'to abort" its takeoff. "Unfortunately, there was a truck in the vicinity of the run- way," he added. Reports of the number of survivors brought to Rome hos- pitals varied from 20 to 25. Most were reported in grave condition, The TWA office in Rome said the plane carried 55 passengers and a double crew of 17. Among the passengers were 26 TWA employees and their families. It was TWA flight 800 from Kansas City, Chicago, New York, Paris and Milan to Rome, Athens and Cairo. REPORTS CONFLICT There were conflicting reports on the time the explosion oc- curred, While some persons: said the blast occurred just as the plane 'ifted off the ground, others said it exploded while on an ap- proach strip just before reach- ing the runway to begin its take- off. An airport employee said he noticed a flame from an engine, saw the jet roll another few me- tres and stop. He said the doors opened and passengers began jumping out. At that moment, he said, an explosion ripped it to pieces. One version by witnesses was that the plane actually was making its takeoff run, lifted a few feet off the runway, then dropped back, while the pilot tried desperately to brake it to a stop. One wing of the plane was re- ported to have struck an object poh. ween S fer ang A aging the win, caus (Pata ae e fue! and exploded 200 yards farth st along. PEOPLE BLOWN UP...

Taylor be- lieves. that U.S, air strikes against Communist bases and supply lines in North Viet Nam and Laos could contribute to . victory in South Viet Nam. He also thinks that the out- come of the guerrilla war is "very much in doubt." The ambassador's appraisal, made in an interview with Life magazine set off speculation that he might recommend an escalation of the war when he meets this week with President Johnson in Washington, Taylor flies home Wednesday. "Military action outside the country, just as pure military action inside the country, will not win in itself," Taylor cau- tioned in the interview. "Let us eay generally that the issue is very much in doubt. The win- ner will be the one that has the ultimate will to win. But the ~~ aspect is only one piece of it.' observers fear China might take a direct hand. STRENGTH GROWS Westmoreland, compared with 6,000 talled 18,000. Westmoreland said.

(AP) Seven convicts, including three convicted murderers, crawled to freedom through a tunnel Sun- day night from their maximum security cell block at the Wash- ington State Penitentiary. The Washington State Patrol and Oregon state police set up roadblocks for the seven, all veterans of previous jailbreaks. Harold Schoesler, a correc- tional officer at the prison, said the men dug through a cement floor in the cell block and. tun- nelled about 40 feet to a point outside, "'right as close to the wall as they could get." "They've probably been at it for six months,"' Schoesler said. He said he did not know how they got through the cement. Warden Bob Rhay said home- made shovels were found in the tunnel. when they left, unless possibly they had homemade knives," Schoesler said. "They would have no firearms at any rate. Apparently they left on. foot." State patrol dispatcher Willy Johnson described all seven as dangerous.

They are be- lieved to have flushed the dirt down a toilet. The men were identified as Vertis James Barrett, 35, Ar- thur St. Peter, 39, Neil C. Wal- len, 28, John L.

"DEPENDS MORE ON OPPOSITION" PM Wont Call Vos OTTAWA (CP) -- Prime Minister Pearson said Sun- day night he plans no gen- eral election now but is "planning to be ready" for one if it is forced on the government. Mr. Pearson said in a tele- vision interview that he is interested in getting the government's program "through Parliament this session and the next session and the session after that. 'Whether' there is any chance of an election I don't know," he told inter- viewer Pierre Burton on a taped CTV network pro- gram. "That depends more on the Opposition, I think, than it does on the govern- ment, "If*you mean am I now planning to bring about an election, the answer is no, but if you ask me whether I am planning to be ready for an election if it forced on the Suvaiaiuint the answer, of course, is yes." DOESN'T EXPECT CLOSURE The prime minister said he did not think closure would have to be imposed on Parliament in order to. get a decision on a com- mittee recommendation for a single-leaf national flag. But he said "if there was no other way of reaching a decision than by using the rules to provide for a deci- sion then you have to do it or you would forfeit your leadership."
