Play In The £
By TOM HICKS Skippy Day isgoing to live. He'll run and play baseball and go to the show and chew bubble gum again. But not right away. First he has to spend a few weeks in St. Francis Hospital recuperating from the nearfatal injuries he suffered a week ago Thursday under the wheels of a car. When they picked up Skippy’s broken body from the 200 block of N. Dearborn St. on the afternoon of May 31, no one thought he'd lve. — Now Skippy knows he shouldn't have run into the path of that car. He knows because

SURE, HIS mother and dad told him not to cross in the middle of the block. But when Skip saw those boys across the street playing baseball, he couldn't wait. Next time he'll wait. And Skip also has a message for the kids of Indianapolis, who’ this week begin their summer vacation. It's Skip’s own message and no one in Indianapolis knows the price for not heeding it any better than Skippy.

LONDON, June 9 (UP) — Britain's secrét service was reported today to have joined the search for two missing British diplomats, indicating that sources behind the Iron Curtain may have been tapped for clues to the mystery. Some 15000 policemen in several European countries already were hunting for traces of Donald MacLean, 38, and Guy Burgess, 40, who vanished France two weeks ago. Each man took only a briefcase with him on the “journey into nowhere,” and it has been persistently reported that they, 6 were carrying top-secret foreign office papers to Moscow, Other indications uncovered in the search suggested that the two Britons may have been lured to Paris and imprisoned there or elsewhere in Europe.

Probe at ‘Standstill’
The Texas .senator sald he asked John A. McCone, undersecretary of the Air Force, for a thorough inquiry and full report. As speculation grew from the possibility that bad fuel had been pumped into wing tanks of the jets, the military clamped a tight cloak of security on the probe. Wright-Patterson Air Base officers sald investigators themselves are doing “no speculating whatsoever.” One Air Force spokesman sald the investigation here was at a “standstill” pending arrival of “certain officials.” The spokesman declined to say who the “certain officials” were. Meanwhile, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Hoyt A. Vandenberg ordered Maj. Gen. Victor R. Bertrandias to take over the investigation. Gen. Bertrandias is Air Force director of flying safety. Also ordered into the probe yesterday was Lt. Gen, Curtis E. LeMay, commanding officer of the Strategic Bomber Command.
Flying Above Storm
Air Force officers earlier yesterday admitted the “bad fuel” possibility was being studied, as were possibilities of sabotage, Although at least one pilot declared he was flying above a storm in the area, investigators have not yet climinated the weather as a factor in the series of explosions the pilots said they experienced before their planes plummeted to earth,

(tration today as Secretary of State Dean Acheson ended eight days of testimony in defense of U. 8. policies in the Far East. The ousted General's accusations were aimed more at his onetime old soldier friend, Defense Secretary - George C. Marshall, than at Mr. Acheson. Asked about them, Mr. Acheson replied curtly: “lI haven't any desire to comment.” Gen. MacArthur asserted that Gen. Marshall's futile 1945-47 mission to China to try and patch up a coalition between the Chinese Communists and the Nationalists of Generalissimo Chilang Kai-shek, was ‘one of the
diplomatic history.” ‘Prevarication’
He said it was a “prevarication without color of factual support” to say he ever favored such a coalition—as was suggested on the basis of a 1945 message from him which Mr. Acheson read into the Senate récord of the probe into Gen. MacArt.uur's dismissal. He said that he meant just the opposite. This was, he added, that American aid to China should be used to hold down the Communists and not to bludgeon Chiang into taking them into his government. The deposed Far Eastern commander made his statements in a telegram ‘to Sen; William F. Knowland (D. Cal.), one of the chief critics of the administration’s China policy.
‘Beyond Belief’
Sen. Knowland asked Gen. MacArthur about a telegram dated Dec, 7, 1945, and read into the
{record of the Senate hearing last | ——
Wednesday. Reported to have been signed by Gen. MacArthur, Lt. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer and Adm. Raymond Spruance. It said in part: , “It is suggested that the United States assistance to China be made available as a basis for negotiation by the American ambassador to bring together and effect a compromise between the major opposing groups in order to promote a unified, Democratic China.” : ait Ben.

Scientists have known for some time that bombs can be exploded successfully underground and to what depth they can be set off, the spokesman said, but “no man knows the best types of structure for protection against them.”
War II Data Useless
The types of construction primarily under construction in making the Dugway tests were tunnel linings, hydroelectric dams, command posts, and other military installations. What information previously was available on this type of construction, the spokesman said, was outmoded by World War II developement of such weapons as the atomic bomb and the German V-2 rocket. He said an above-ground explosion has ‘little effect underground, but it now must be determined what effect an underground explosiofi has on struetures above ground and how they should be built. In making the tests, blasts, ranging from 320 pounds to 320,000 pounds of TNT were set! off in all types of soil and against concrete structures, he said.

Crazed Passenger Challenges Pilot: ‘Let God Fly’
FAIRBANKS, Alaska, June 9 (UP)—A passenger aboard an Alaska airlines plane today asked the pilot: “Do you believe in God?” Then he went berserk. Don Hullshizer, the pilot, said he was flying nine persons to Fairbanks from Circle Hot Springs, Alaska, when passenger, William Henry Miles, 31, came forward to the pilot's compartment and asked him the question. When Mr. Hullshizer answered “yes,” he said the passenger then ordered him “to come back (to the passenger's compartment) and let God fly this airplane.”
s » n MR HULLSHIZER said he refused and the man went back to the passenger area, smashed three windows and threw a cargo of canned goods out the window. When the plane landed officers took the outraged passenger in an ambulance to federal jail here and placed him in a padded cell.
