Four Americans including Ambassador Laurence A. Stewards died when a U S embassy plane burned and crashed near Ramseville Ontario after a passenger refused to jump. Sg Gwynne A Long, 25, survived, saying fear of parachuting doomed the crew. Canadian and U S forces discounted sabotage and noted preflight servicing by U S Air Force personnel. The crash occurred after takeoff from Ottawa Rockcliffe Airport at 8 20 a m EST bound for New York and Washington. Long, from Vasnoy, E, said the port engine exploded and nobody moved to deploy chutes as others hesitated at the height.
