VATICAN CITY (IF) Pope
John XXIII yesterday appointed
two new American cardinals,
bringing U.S representation in
that Roman Catholic body to six.
Archbishops Albeit Gregory
Meyer of Chicago and Aloisius J.
Muench of Fargo, N.D., are among
eight cardinals-designate who
will be elevated to the purple
at a secret consistory Dec. 14 and
receive their red hats at a pub
lic ceremony three days later.
The consistory the second in
Pope John's reign of little morel
than a year, will increase the Col
lege of Cardinals to 79 members,
highest in history Only two na
tions, Italy with 31 and France
with 7, will have more than the
United States among the princes
of the Church.
For a brief time after a 1946
consistory called by the late Pope
Pius XII, at which four new
American cardirals were created,
the United States had five cardi-;
fi nals. But John Cardinal Glennon,'
archbishop of St. Louis, died on'
Ihis way home from the consistory.
The four present American car
dinals are Francis Spellman of
New York, James F. Mclntyre of
Los Angeles, Richard J. Cushing
of Boston and John F. O'Hara of
Philadelphia.
Vatican sources said all eight
of the new cardinals except Arch
bishop Meyer, 56, will become
members of the Roman Curia, the
central executive body at the
Vatican, to strengthen the group
in its preparations for the World
Ecumenical Council.

Another brief, supporting the
government, was filed by the
Pennsylvania Federation of La

Harold Kohn, counsel for Two

The case is being heard by
Judge William H. Hastie of the

Plane Plummets Into
Shark-infested Gulf
NEW ORLEANS, La. (PP) A 4-engine National Airlines
plane plummeted into the shark-infested waters of the Gulf
of Mexico early yesterday with 36 pasengers and 6 crew
members aboard.
Coast Guard rescue units
intensified the search for others,,
with little hope held for any sur-'
vivors.
The big DC7B lost radio contact
shortly after midnight as fog
slipped in over the Gulf and all
but closed operations at Moisant
Airport, destination for the Miami
originated flight.
One of the pilots of the two
Coast Guard helicopters which
guided search vessels to the
scene said, "There probably will
he more bodies found, but it's
getting difficult because of
sharks."
Lt. James L. Sigman, executive
officer of the Coast Guard air de-
Itachment at New Orleans, said he
couldn't miss seeing the sharks
as his helicopter swept low over
the 300-foot deep waters.
"They were so big," Sigman
said, estimating the sharks were
12 to 15 feet long.
Three Coast Guard vessels re
'ported picking up the nine bodies
amid the scattered debris. The
lbodies were to be taken to Gulf
port, Miss., the Coast Guard said.
• The plane left Tampa, Fla., at
11:02 p.m., and was due in New
Orleans at 2:20 a.m. Its last con
tact with a radio point was at
12:33 a.m.
The plane went down about 1001
miles southeast of New Orleans,'
about 25 miles from the marshy)
Louisiana coast near the mouth of
the Mississippi River.
Sigman said it was his opinion'
that the plane blew up when it
hit water. This, he said, was indi
cated by the clothing stripped off
the bodies, severe burning of the
bodies and peeling of the skin.
He discounted any explosion in
the air, pointing out the wreck
'age was spread over a compara
(tivelyj small area of two to;
three miles.
