WASHINGTON May 31 <U.R) —
Chairman James M. Landis of the
Civil Aeronautics board said today
'■•here was 'no obvious connection'
between the Maryland and New
York cra-shes of four-engined DC-4
planes which would justify Im-
mediate grounding qf such planes.
Landis said, 'only theories have
been advanced so for' for the
crash of an Eastern Airlines DC-4
near Bainbridge, Md>, last nght.
As for the crash of a United
Airlines plane at LaGuardia air-
port in Ne-.v York Thursday night.
Landis pointed out that reports
indicated it was not due to struc-
tural defects. A preliminary re-
pott, he said, indicated the New
York accident was due to a sudden
shift in wind while the plane was
taking off.
The Douglas DC-4 planes. Lan-
dis said, have piled up 'such a
tremendous safety record' that
the two accidents were 'not a
cause for alarm.'
