SEEK CRASH CAUSE LONDON UP - Investigators said today the crash of a British Britannia prop-jet airliner last November may have been caused by a runaway “robot” pilot which took control from the plane’s r.uman crew.

Investigators trying to deterrr t the au.'.? of the crash said the runaway robot possibility was raised by reports of a second Britannia crew which had the same trouble.

‘CAMPY* CRACKS JOKES GLEN COVE, N. Y. UP —Roy Campanella must be getting better. He’s even cracking jokes. Campanella's wife. Ruthie, the only one permitted to visit ‘.he hospitalized 36-year-old Los Angeles Dodger catcher so far, said today her husband "looks much more cheerful" and even was able “to tell jokes.” The statement coincided with the latest hospital bulletin which said,“Roy’s condition is somewhat better. Strength and movement is beginning to return to his hands. Feeling is present throughout his aims, hands and upper chest although his legs remain paralyzed.” It was the most encouraging bulletin issued by officials of Community Hospital since Campanella was admitted early Tuesday after suffering a broken reel, in a near fatal auto accident. Although Harry Gifford, the hospital administrator, indicated Campanella is recuperating faster than was originally expected, he emphasized that the ball player still is on the critical list.

He has been requested to give his experience t£ the group about intensified hog production on con- | Crete. ’ Hog production has undergone a lot of recent changes. A lot of mistakes have been made in the past and it is likely that more will be made in the future. Anj* farmer who can get the benefit of the mistakes of others is going to be at a distinct advantage. When concrete and permanent buildings are erected there isn’t any cheap way of making needed changes. Of course there is always the big question of whether or not a farmer should actually attempt to change to concrete feeding. One way or another, all farmers are being affected by changes in the hog business.
