British European Airways said an engine failed shortly after the plane took off from London for Glasgow. The plane, a Dakota, was attempting to return to London. The air line said it carried 24 passengers, including one infant, and a crew of five. The survivor, a man, was taken to Edgware General hospital. One report said the craft caught fire in the air, hit a house top, then plowed through a wall into a garden. One wing still teetered atop a house. The crash was in Suburban Mill Hill, a middle class residential area. One eyewitness expressed belief the fuel tanks exploded. He said: "No one could get near the plane, it was burning so fiercely, but I understood some of the passengers must have been thrown out because some bodies were taken away." "As it sailed over the houses one wing came off and struck a house. The plane crashed across the narrow road—Highwood Ash—and landed in the garden of another house."

And the Army, Navy and Marines have decided that enlisted reservists with four or more dependents who have been called may apply for discharge immediately. Both announcements were made yesterday.

Future calls among the volunteer officers for the most part will be to fill a few specialty assignments. The decision to allow discharge of reservists with four or more dependents was taken because existing law allows them to remain in service.

Ballard of the Associated Oil Co., gave this account of the accident: "Just after the cattle train passed, a wheel broke on one of its cars. The cattle train continued about 100 yards, then jackknifed into the Daylight train, which was passing on the other track." Roy H. Farnsworth of Sacramento, engineer of the Daylight, said he saw the cattle train cars begin to buckle and he immediately put on his air brakes. He said the passenger train was traveling about 40 miles an hour at the time. Three of the train's 13 cars left the rails.

Hanley to support their charge that he had been paid off to step aside as a candidate for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, in favor of Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, and become instead the party's candidate for U.S. Senator. The letter, which the 74-year-old Hanley himself released here late yesterday, said that "if I will consent to take the nomination to the United States Senate, I am definitely assured of being able to clean up my financial obligations within 90 days." At Rochester, Frank Gannett, publisher of a group of newspapers and long a prominent Republican called for a grand jury investigation. Gannett, who said he lent Hanley about $19,000 to help finance his pre-convention campaign, said "the letter reveals corruption in political affairs, and the penalties for these are severe." Hanley denied newsmen that there was anything illegal or morally wrong with any financial arrangements he had made. In New York, Gov. Dewey told a news conference he had never discussed Hanley's "debts or his private situation with him" but that he had assured Hanley "that his job in the state government remained sure." Dewey said "it looks as though someone"—presumably a Democrat—"is trying to work his way into Dannemora or Battewan (state prisons) by making the most violently false charges alleging crime, none of which occurred." Asked if he planned to lodge the situation, Dewey "There is nothing to lodge; it's all clear as day." Rep. Walter A. Lynch, Democratic-Liberal opponent the governorship in the New State election November 7, ed that Hanley had been off to give up his candidacy the GOP gubernatorial nomination as a substitute.

Hurricane warnings flew from Palm Beach to Marathon, in the Florida Keys, and northeast storm warnings were displayed over the remainder of the Florida east coast and to Fort Myers on the Gulf Coast.

Playmate Killer Freedom Denied LOS ANGELES (AP) — Freedom is still denied Richard Jensen, 25, accused 11 years ago of killing a playmate, William Williams, 13, in La Crescenta. Jensen was sent to Mendocino State hospital but two months ago Mendocino superior court ordered him released and returned to Los Angeles county for disposition of murder charges. Judge A. A. Scott of juvenile court ordered Jensen returned to control of the state department of mental hygiene. Counsel for the youth then sought his freedom on a habeas corpus writ but yesterday Superior Judge Stanley Mosk denied it, upholding Judge Scott. Judge Mosk held that the Mendocino order was ambiguous because, while directing release of Jensen, medical authorities also said he was still a menace to society. Judge Mosk decided that Mendocino authorities had in mind placement of Jensen in some other institution, with more freedom but with further treatment.
