Lindenhurst, N.Y. (AP) - A twin-engine plane crashed in flames on take-off Saturday, plummeting into the front yard of a home where a child's birthday party was being held. All three men aboard the plane were killed.

Four persons on the ground were injured, one critically.

They were standing outside the STANLEY KATA residence when the plane clipped a corner of the frame house and plunged into the yard. Flaming gasoline set fire to the KATA house and three automobiles.

Inside the house DEBORAH KATA was celebrating her ninth birthday at a family party. She and three other children, her mother and grandmother escaped injury. The fire in the house was quickly extinguished.

The dead, all officers in the Civil Air Patrol, were identified as Lt. Col. JACQUES SEGAL of Bronxville, N.Y.; Lt. Col. CLIFFORD M. JOHNSON of Malverne, N.Y. and Capt. WILLIAM GIBSON of Massapequa Park, N.Y.
