LIMA, Peru W) — Rescue workers labored today at the slow and arduous task of bringing down from a rocky peak the bodies of 97 persons killed in the crash of a Los Angeles-bound Brazilian jetliner. It was aviation history’s eighth worst disaster. Nineteen of the dead were listed as Americans. There were no survivors — and no immediate explanation — of the crash in good flying weather minutes before the Boeing 707 was to make a pre-dawn landing at Lima’s airport Tuesday. A PERUVIAN Cabinet minister, a high Cuban economic official and a California oil executive were among the 80 passenger victims. The plane carried a crew of 17. The U. S. Civil Aeronautics Board in Washington announced it was sending a high official to join Peruvian authorities in the investigation of the crash. A spokesman said the U. S. agency wants “to learn anything we can from an accident, no matter where it occurs, because these are our planes.’’ An official of the Brazilian airline. Varig, said “everything was apparently going normally” when the captain suddenly declared ‘This is an emergency.” NOTHING MORE was known of the plane until its wreckage, scattered over a smoke-blackened area about 200 yards square, was found about 10 hours later on a 2,400-foot hill near the Inca ruins of Pachacamac, 15 miles south of Lima. Twenty of the bodies were brought to a Lima morgue Tuesday night. Rescue workers left until morning the difficult task of lowering the others down the steep sides of the mountain. Most of the victims were burned or mutilated beyond recognition. THE FLIGHT originated in Porto Alegre, a southern Brazilian city, but the major pickup of passengers was at Rie de Janeiro. The airline said 10 of the passengers had tickets for Los Angeles. The rest were bound for Latin - American points. The Lima crash was the fifth major air disaster in five days and the second in 24 hours involving Brazilian planes. 12 CARS FAIL TO OBSERVE 13 WARNINGS OLATHE, Kan.

EXPERTS JUST CALL HIM MARVIN Border LOS ANGELES (*» — That sea monster might be a cten- ophone, a siphonophore or a salp, experts say. They don’t know which, so they call him Marvin. Marvin is the strange, spiraling creature that first popped up about a month ago on a television screen by which Shell Oil Co. technicians were watching underwater drilling equipment. The playful creature seen was 15 feet long but only 6 inches in diameter. He frolicked about on the screen while Shell look pictures of him. Shell asked some fish experts. One say maybe he is a ctenophore a member of the jellyfish family. Another said he might be a salp, a group of small animals that fasten themselves together end-to- end like a daisy chain. Or, said another, he could be a siphonophore — jellyfish that link themselves together the same way the salps do. Until somebody catches the monster and identifies him, he'll remain just plain Marvin —which means sea friend. oac Bobby Rogers, basketball coach at Texas A&M College, discussed his team’s prospects for the upcoming hardwood season at the Wednesday meeting of the Bryan Rotary Club.
