Wave Is Killed In Navy Plane Crash Transport Service Plane Is Crashed Oakland. Cal., Jan. 21—(UP) — The navy today cleared its radarbrained ground controlled approach system of responsibility in the crash of a four-engined naval air transport service plane which brought death to one Wave and injuries to 20 other navy personnel, ’’The ground controlled approach functioned properly," the navy said of the equipment which was employed when the plane crashed at the fog-shrouded airport here yesterday. The giant R6D. navy designation of the C-54, was nosing into the water-bortlered Oakland strip from nearby Moffett field when it tell short of the runway, liounced over a levee which holds back the high tides of San Francisco bay. and split into flaming fragments The navy said a check of the radar equipment indicated the pilot had "taken over control of plane before being released by the GCA unit." Rescue crews raced through the mists to find flaming debris scattered over I**o yards. Some of the plane's seats had been torn from the fuselage and hurled free.'flieir occupants still strapped down, others were held inside the shattered cabin. All occupants were Injured. The Wave, identified a* Margaret Wallace, aviation specialist third class of Pitcairn. Pa., died at Oak Knoll hospital.

RUSSIANS TO LIFT (Continued From One) eorship was transmitted to the I'. S. gove nment in fulfillment of the agreement mid*' between retiring secretary of state James F. Byrnes and SAvlet foreign minister V M. Molotov ;it the last big four meeting In New York. At that meeting Molotov promised in return for Byrnss*' acqule-sem-e to go to Moscow for the next meeting—that foreign correspondents would be allowed to report proceedings of the Moscow conference jiast us they had been allowed Io report proceedings of the Moscow conference just as they had been allowed to do in Paris and New York. Th*- Soviets, it wae learned, have gfVeti every Indi-at lon that they intend to do their utmost to fulfill that promise within physical limitations. Until thio week Byrnes had heard nothing from the Soviets ahout how they planned to implement their New York promise. It was learned, however, that within the last few days th*' state department was informed by the Soviet government that it would not only lift censorship on the big four meeting but set up transmission facilities in the hotel housing foreign corn*pondeuts. Thus, foreign newsmen will be abb- to fib- their dispatches directly from their hotel. Heretofore, they save hud to take their dispatches, or send them by messenger. first to the censor and then to the telegraph office. To date, it was learned, nothing specific has been «*aid alsiut how many correspondents will be allowed to enter the Soviet Union for the conference. But neither have the Soviets mentioned anything yet about limiting the nnnilier It also was understood that the Soviets in their recent message promised -without being specific—that everything posflililc would be done to provide adequate transmission facililitM for correspondents who will be filing thousands of words daily. More than 60 American newsmen have applied for credentials to attend the Moscow conference. From information available now, it appears that the Soviet Union will place all of them on their honor to confine their uncenoored dispatches to the big four conference, and to refrain from writing about internal Soviet conditions. 0 ! ..
