Official Says He’ll Finish Trip In Ship Regardless MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica <A>)_ Two survivors of the Colombian airliner crash that killed 37 per sons said today they will make the last leg of their jinxed trip to Ecuador, by ship. “I don’t care if we have to go to Greenland to get a ship” said Ian Kelton, 46, a United Nations official traveling with his wife to a new assignment in South Amer ica. The Keltons, two Dutch passen gers and five crew members es caped virtually unhurt in the crash early Thursday of the Avi anca airliner from New York. All 17 Americans aboard were killed. There had been one interruption before the Super-Constellation of the Avianca Colombian National Airline met tragedy on this Car ibbean holiday island. A coughing engine forced a 10-hour stopover for repairs in Miami. Four passen gers quit the plane there. Kelton, a Scotsman attached to the U. N. Food and Agricultural Organization, told relatives who telephoned that he and his wife were “both excellently all right.” “We are not even blemished,” he said. “But I think we might dispense with planes for a while. We intend to wait for a ship if we can get one to Ecuador. We might have to go to Miami to get a ship. I don’t care if we have to go to Greenland.” When the big plane overturned and exploded in flames after set tling down here, the . Keltons wrenched their way out through an emergency exit and splashed through a swampy lagoon to safe ty. “There was absolutely no warn ing of the crash,” said Kelton. “We came out of a rain squall at Montego Bay and started onto the runway. “We hit with a crunch, bounced and skidded along on one side with fire roaring past the windows on one side. Then the plane came to a halt. We were upside down, suspended in our seats by our safety belts and deoriented be cause the plane had flown around as well as overturning. “I got free and unclasped my wife’s seat belt. The only light was the glow from the fire. We heard no commotion from the rest of the plane. While I was looking- for an emergency exit, the stew ard got is quite open and popped out, but flames enveloped the exit immediately after. ^ Bonsai Returns from Cuba *~vi i mm mm § : I M jflplil; illilil? Sst! WASHINGTON (3*)—The United States summoned Ambassador Philip W. Bonsai home from Ha vana today, less than two weeks after he returned to his post. There were strong indications of official exasperation at indignities, authorities feel America has suf fered at the hands of Fidel Castro. The big question remained, what can Washington try next to change the course of the bearded Cuban Premier without hurting its rela tions with the other psychological ly sensitive Latin American states ? Diplomatically, Uncle Sam was in the unhappy shoes of the visitor being kicked in the shins by a small boy of the family while not daring to lift his fist in reprisal.
