.Wind WNps Plane.. Richard Baldwin of. Danbury, J?onn., one of the survivors, said “.The plane suddenly went completely sideways, straightened out, then slid sideways a|ain and came down on the left wing. I sat right on that side and watched the left wing crumple off. Then I think the plane rolled over.” One woman who survived but did not give her name said that “a gust~ of wind hit the plane” as it entered the cloud. “It turned over on one side then bumped a lot,” she said. “Then — whether it was another gust of wind or not I don’t know — the plane turned over on its side and it crashed.’’ State Police Lt. Peter Beck, whose men interrogated the survivors, said several of them mentioned the “wrenching effect” of the wind. Pilot Among Dead The dead were identified as the pilot, Capt. Richard M. Dennis, 39, Redbank, N. J ; the first officer, John W.

Voice Interest In Khrushchev Speech WASHINGTON (UPD— High State Department officials today expressed cautious “interest’’ in Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev’s East Berlin speech which vaguely linked a limited nuclear test ban with an East-West nonaggression pact. They told newsmen the speech would be given careful study gnd not rejected out of hand. This initial U.S. reply may riot be as much of a diplomatic platitude as it may sound. \ It showed that, for all its ambiguities, Khrushchev’s address was being received here as possibly a major Soviet statement which might or might not find US. agreement. Reaction was in marked contrast to the State Department’s initial response to most Khrushchev speeches—that they contain “nothing new” and do not “alter the situation,” or that they are ‘"propaganda.”
