Bidault Will Seek Assembly Vote Thursday

PARllS (AP) —Georges Bid-ault, who wants France to get tougher in Algeria, said Monday night he hopes to go before the National Assembly Thursday to seel. con- firmation as premier of France’s 25th post-war cabinet. But he faces the problem of lining up support in his own party.

Bidaul-1: talked in his hotel room Monday with a number of individual politicians but no party delegations. His own party, the Mouvenient Republricain Popu- laire, (MRP), has schedu‘ed a meeting to d ay to decide its course.

Most of the MRP opposes Bi- dault because of his tough views on how France should handle the rebellion in Algeria. But Bid-ault seems to hold favor—4beca.u-se of these views-—with the Conserva-

- tive independents, the de Gaullist

Social Republicans, the extreme right-wing Poujad-ists and some radical splinter groups. These groups have about 175 votes in the 595-seat assembly.

Prime Minister Ancl Cabinet Of Malta Resign

VALLETTA, Malta (Reuters) —Prime Minister Dom Mintoflf and his cabinet resigned Monday night, saying they “no longer want to remain responsible for public peace and order" in this British colony.

The resignation followed the breakdown of talks with Britain aimed at integrating the island with the mother country or grant- ing it complete independence.

Mintotllf said in a broadcast an- nouncing his resignation that the 315,000 islanders “now have the chance to prove to the world that they have grown into a‘ nation."

Mintoflf’_s resignation to Gov- ernor Sir Robert Laycock was accoonp a n 1 ed by a statement from the 23 Labor members of the 40-sea-t Maltese panliament saying they would not support anything but :1 Labor govern- ment. ‘

Minttotff visited the Governor's palace to hand in his resignation.

Crowds demonstrating outside the palace shouted “We want

These major decisions were reached at a special session of the City Council held last night and attended by former Village Comissioners Howard Douglas. Willard Burke, Eldon MacLean, Arthur Grant, and Lloyd Mac- Nevin, together with a number of civic and area department heads

These included Dr. R.G. Lea. chairman of the City School Board; Mr. K.A. Parker, Super- intendent of City Schools; Mrs.

Spring Park Board of School Trustees, Fire Chief H.H. Jewell, City Works foreman, R. Crockett, and Chief of Police C.W. Mac- Arthur.

In addition it was decided to defer the building of permanent streets and sidewalks until at least a portion of the permanent water and sewerage mains were in position; to take over the Vil- lage light bill as at the 1st of May; and to commence immedi- ately the preparation of supplem- entary tax assessment lists.

A distinct possibility that next term upper grade pupils now at- tending the new High School in Spring Park will be required to register with one of two City High Schools was noted by Dr. Lea."

He said that this matter had received favorable support in un- official talks held between the City School Board and the spring Park Trustees. In this case the old school would be abandoned and the primary stu- dents would all go to the new school, he said.

NON-RESIDENT STUDENTS

Asked by Mrs. Norrie to clarify the status of approximately 13 non-resident families, whose child- ren have been attending Spring Park school, Mr. Parker said that the disposition of the Spring Park pupils utter June 30 was the “sole responsibility” of the Min- ister of Education.

49 Killed When U.S. Jet Ancl DC7 Airliner Collide

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) —— An eastbound airliner with 47 aboard and a U.S. Air Force jet on an in- strument tradininug flight collided four miles high near this gambl- ing resort Monday.

Allll aboard the four - engine United Air Lines DC-7 and the two men in the supersonic F-100F fighter-(bornber were killed.

Thousands in this southern Ne- vada town saw the death’ dive of the big transport, which exploded in the clear sky a-t the moment of

impact, staggered through one big curve, then crashed in the sun- baked foothills 91/: miles south- west of Las Vegas. 2

The jet plane plunged to earth three miles away. The transport hit within 10 miles of the spot where actress Carole Lombard and 21 others died in a 1942 plane crash.

WATCHED CRASH

A Las Vegas resident, Jeff Mc- Coll Sr., said he was watching the big New York - bound airliner, which had ta-ken off an hour earl- ier from Los Angeles, as it sped through the cloudless skies at 21,- 000 feet.

‘‘I didn’t see the jet,” he said, “but all of a sudden there was an explosion and one wing of the DC-7 burst into flames. The pl-ane made a spiral and then came down in a steep dive. As it fell thcvfla-Ines spread back along the fuselage.”

The airliner exploded when it hit the ground, scattering wreck- age for three-quarters of a mile and sending up a black plume of smoke visible from Las Vegas.

Crews reports from the scene that bodies were badly burned and shattered and that identification would be a slow, painful process. The passenger list did not include any Canadians.

DUAL-CONTROL TRAINER

The air force plane, a d-ual-con- trol trainer with a student pilot in the rear seat and an experienced flier in front, had been operating at 27,000 feet just before the crash.

Col. Bruce Hinton, in charge of the pilot training group at Nellis Air Base, said it could not be de- termined which man Was flying

-the plane, but that on a normal

instrument training mission the student pilot, flying on instru- ments in a hooded cockpit, would be in control.

“What this plane was supposed to be doing,” he said, “was prac- tising instrument training in clear weather. The guy in front is out from under the food, and one in back is under the hood.

“The pilot was given permis-

sion to descend on a routine pene- tration (following radio signals from the ground). He was told to go ahead. We don't know what happened then».

Nellis base reported its com- munication centre picked up the cry, “Mayday”—t-he avi~ator’s dis- tress ca-ll, just after the collision.
