At least 27 persons were killed and 6.3 injured. x The dead included John Derry,> 32, Britain's best known test pilot, and the observer flying with him. They were screaming over the crowd at an altitude of about 1,000 feet, seconds after a power dive in which their De Havil- land 110 jet flew faster than sound when the ship began disintegrating. ...The other 26 victims—^three of them chUdren—^were spectator* who had crowded Ulltop vantage pointa to wstch tbe bis Fam- borough air show.

Expertit Can't Explain Two of Britain's top aircraft experts said in a joint statement jthat scientific tests have proved that there is nothing dangerous about supersonic flight as such.

Saturday's accident was associat¬ ed with the supersonic flight which prece,ded it." However, no one had any other explanation to offer. The experts promised a thorough Investigation by the chief Inspector of accidents to determine tha cause of the tragic crash. Thirty-five of those injured were taken to hospitals tn seri¬ ous condition, many suffering from critical head Injuries and broken arms and legs. Another 30 were discharged from the hos¬ pital after receiving treatment. Many others wera given minor first aid at the scene. The spectators were killed when (Continued on Page A-10) WASHINGTON. — American officials have about given up hope of getting a truce in Korea, tt was learned on Saturday. They are so pessimistic they now are basing their strategic planning on the probability the present "twilight" war wlU con¬ tinue indefinitely. A few months ago these same officials said they believed there was at least a 50-50 chance for an armistice. Now they pri¬ vately estimate the odds against It at more than 100 to 1. They remain convinced, aa they have from the beginning, that the war-weary Chinese and North Korean Reds—and even Russia—would like a truce to put an end to their botched ag¬ gression attempt. But they now fully realize, aa they did not before, that the non-forcible repatriation of Red prisoners on which the United Nations has insisted is too bit¬ ter a pill for the Communists to swallow. As a resut, U. S. experts on Korean strategy see no way out of the deadlock unless Moscow, which can be very unpredicta¬ ble, should suddenly order a truce for some overriding rea¬ son of its own. The Allies t re therefore busy working on way to meet the problem of a prolonged stale¬ mate. Most important, they are speding the buildup of South Korean forces to shoulder more of the combat load.. Eventually, they hope this way to begin sending UN troops home. But, although the South Korean soldiers have shown "amazing" progress, officials said it will be some time before a troop withdrawal program can be put into effect. Favor Discussion in VN The Gloomy estimate of the truce prospects has prompted a tentative U. S. decision to favor discussion of the situation in the forthcoming session of the UN General Assembly. Details haven't been worked out. But officials indicated this country will ask the assembly to brand the Communists — and possibly even Russia directly— with blame for the truce break¬ down. During the last assembly a year ago, the United States blocked discussion. It then thought the chances for a truce were good and that debate would ruin them. 11 Men Missing Of bOVemOriSp''' >•> rwo ty winds Miss Georgia Is Miss America ATLANTIC CITY. -Neva Langley, a Florida girl masquer¬ ading as "Miss Georgia" in the annual Atlantic City beauty pageant, won the "Miss Amer¬ ica" title last night.
