(UP) — Six navy fliers escaped
death today in a crash of three
seaplanes in a choppy sea as the
fleet headed toward San Diego and
the end of its mid-Pacific war
maneuvers.
The crack-up, shortly before
noon, ended a one-hour flight of
36 planes attached to ships of the
fleet.
All the occupants of the three
two-seater planes were fished out
of the water unhurt by lifeboats
hurriedly put overboard from
nearby battleships. The planes
also were recovered.
The crashes alt occurred within
a minute as the planes descended

The first rescue train arrived
here from Quetta tonight, loaded
with refugees who declared that
at least 15,000 had been killed
in the catastrophe. Previous un-
official estimates had placed the
casualties at from 20,00 to 30,000.
There was no way of making an
accurate count and the lower fig-
ure was considered more probable.
The refugees revealed that fire
had broken out in many parts of
the stricken city of Quetta, add-
ing to the horror of the earth-
quake.

The city was completely wiped
out, the refugees said. Most of
I the deaths were in the congested

—The world’s next step toward

en Sunday in Switzerland where
the citizenry will vote whether
to undertake a New Deal similiar
to the Roosevelt experiments.
The Swiss plan is to arrrf d the
constitution first and try | the

tion of more than 350,000 per-
sons, a referendum has been or-
dered for tomorrow to decide
whether the constitution shall be
changed to give the Federal Gov-
ernment sweeping powers.
Proposed changes would per-
mit the Federal government to
maintain prices, assure wages and,
in general, adapt some of the ma-
jor Roosevelt policies to prob-
lems in the Alpine Valleys.

of the Swiss new deal is that it
