De Gaulle said U. S. withdrawal from Viet Nam, even before any peace conference, was "the only solution” to the
conflict.

FORT WAYNE UPI—Three men, two of them not identified immediately, were killed early today when a single-engine plane crashed shortly after taking off from an airport here. One of the passengers on the four-seat Piper was identified as Carl W. Smithley, 35, Decatur, and state police said they were virtually certain the pilot and the other passenger were from Van Wert, Ohio. Officers said the plane was registered in the name of a Van Wert airport operator but that the owner said he did not know who was aboard the plane. The plane, which apparently either picked up or left a passenger here, took off from a local airport shortly after 1 am. It crashed about 11 minutes later just off U.S. 27 near the Adams County line southeast of here. The cause of the crash was not determined immediately.
