Fog Stops Traffic LONDON UPI — Fog and icy runways disrupted air traffic at London Arport Friday. Some transatlantic flights were diverted to Frankfurt, Prestwick in ~ Scotland and Manchester.

erican, 27-year-old Newcomb Mott, of Sheffield, Mass., cut his throat the previous night while a prisoner on a train heading for the Arctic city of Murmansk. He was to have served out his term in the frozen wastes. U. S. Ambassador Foy D. Kohler expressed "profound shock” over the textbook salesman’s death. Mott’s mother said she was convinced “he was murdered.” Kohler immediately ordered two embassy officials to travel to the far northern city of Kirov, where Mott’s body lay, to investigate the case and make arrangements to take care of the remains. He issued a statement “deploring the

handling of this matter which has come to such a tragic end.” Moss was a tourist in Norway last September when he crossed the vaguely-marked border into Russia at a spot where Scandanavians are permitted to cross freely. He said at his trial that he went to the border merely to buy souvenirs and vodka, that he had wandered into Russia without knowing it and that he did not intend to break a law. But the Soviet government, which held Mott in prison for two months prior to trial, charged he had crossed the border “illegally and willfully.” His sentence was to be served in a labor camp. Mott’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Howard S. Mott of Sheffield, said their

son called the sentence “un- first with over $400.

just”

Mott was convicted Nov. 24. Western circles in Moscow speculated that the severity of the sentence may have been “political”—due as much to tightening Soviet-American relations over the Viet Nam war as to anything else. ‘ The Soviet government said that Thursday night or in the (Continued on Page 2)

River Changed MOSCOW UPI — Soviet engineers have changed the course of the mighty Siberian river, the Angara, to permit mining of rich lead and zinc deposits in its bed, the news agency Tass reported Friday.

New Political Crisis In Italy

ROME UPI—President Giuseppe Saragat launched an urgent round of weekend consultations today in an effort to bring Italy’s latest political

crisis to a speedy end.

WASHINGTON UPI — The Civil Aeronautics Board CAB has approved the first in an expected series of new special youth fares that will enable an estimated 30 million Americans between the ages of 12 and 22 to fly at lower costs. The CAB notified American Airlines it can put a youth fare into effect starting Jan. 27. At the same time, the agency gave Allegheny Airlines permission to start its youth fare plan Feb. 2. Other carriers, including those who fought the youth discount, are expected to follow suit shortly. The CAB limited its approval to a one-year trial period. Some airlines feel that youth fares will dilute revenues without attracting sufficient new traffic to compensate for the lower

fares.

American’s plan calls for a 50 per cent discount from the regular one-way coach fare but only on a standby or spaceavailable basis. Youths must purchase a special identification card for $3 and they must give up seat priority to military standby passengers. America’s youth fare will not apply on Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Allegheny will fly youth for two-thirds of the regular oneway first class fare, charging $10 for an age identification card. Major airlines who have applied for youth fares generally are following American’s proposal. Bonanza Air Lines inaugurated the first youth fare in 1961. A similar plan was followed by a number of other carriers. All except Bonanza dropped the fares after a brief trial period because too many youngsters were selling their tickets to adults at a profit. The idea of an identification card, originated by Bonanza, is designed to prevent abuses. No Sign Of Peace In Viet

The crisis erupted unexpectedly Friday when Premier Aldo Moro’s Center-Left Coalition government was defeated on a bill to establish public nursery schools. Moro resigned after 140 Christian Democratic members of Parliament crossed party lines to vote down the bill by a count of 250-221. Moro is the titular leader of the Christian Democratc. Saragat is expected to ask Moro to form a new government. Another alternative is to call general elections, but this solution would give Italian Communists a chance to pick up more strength in Parliament.

WASHINGTON UPI— Hopa for early peace talks in the war in Viet Nam hit a new low here today with the disclosure the month-long pause in U. S. bombing attacks on the north has failed to spark any sign of Communist interest. The public statement of apparent rejection of U. S. peace offers came from Secretary of State Dean Rusk, whq said “we have been listening for sounds other than the sound of bombs and grenades and mortars in South Viet Nam. "I regret that I cannot report to you any positive and encouraging response to the hopes of the overwhelming majority of mankind.”
