Times Recorded
In Air Crash
NEW YORK (AP)-A Civil Aer
onautics Boa.d investigator said
today that times recorded for ra
dio conversations with two air
liners shortly before they collided
here Dec. 16 are believed to be
within one or two seconds of ab
solute accuracy.
The investigator, Joseph C .
Zacko, headed a team of experts
which studied tape recordings
made of radio transmissions be
tween the planes and controllers
on the ground.
The exact times of the trans
missions are important in helping
determine exactly where the air
craft were shortly before they
collided over Staten Island, cost
ing the lives of 128 persons aboard
them and 6 others on the ground.
The accident, involving a United
Air Lines DCg jet and a Trans
World Airlines Super Constella
tion, was the worst in the nation's
air history.
Zacko testified at an inquiry be
ine conducted by the CAB.
the tapes now show that the
UAL, plane radioed at iu:33.za
a.m. that it was approaching the
Preston holding area over New
Jersey.
The crash Is believed to have
occurred just 16 seconds later at
a point 11 miles beyond the Hold
ing pattern, indicating the plane
must have been beyond the hold
in? pattern at the time.
Witnesses called at the opening
session of the inquiry differed in
their testimony concerning signi'
ins of the actual collision.
The TWA plane went down in
flames on the Army's Miller Fiold,
Staten Island, while the jet winged
10 miles to the northeast before
crashing into a Brooklyn neigh
borhood.
One eyewitness, Paul Kleinau,
8 Stolen Island florist, testified he
saw the jet streak through an over
cast sky and strike the TWA craft
with a "tremendous noise." The
rear of the TWA plane, Kleinau
said, fell off and crashed at once,
nut the front engine-wing portion
circled twice before spiraling
down on Miller Field.
"I can shut my eyes still and
see (hose four engines going
around and around in a circle,
Kleinau said. 1
Another witness, -Sgt. Glenn F.
Logsdon, on duty at Miller Field's
control tower, testified there was
"definitely a solid overcast" at
the time of the crash. When he
heard the sound of a crash, Logs
don said, he looked up and "saw
a fireball inside the overcast" but
could not see the planes because
of the murkv skies.
Subsequently, Logsdon said,
pieces of the planes began to fall,
with the main section of the TWA
plane coining down in a flat spin.
Personnel In U. S. Embassy
Happy About Leaving Cuba
WEST PALM B E A C H, Fla.
(AP) Sixty-seven U.S. Embassy
personnel, given 48 hours by Fidel
Castro to get out of Cuba, ar
rived today aboard a car ferry,
apparently happy to escape the
tensions of Havana.
"It was a scramble to get out
in two days," said Eugene A.
1 Gilmore, counselor for economic
affairs and No. 2 man In the Ha
vana embassy.
"The tension is very high. Wc
have been passing the word ac
tively to Americans remaining in
Cuba, suggesting that they leavs.
We got out of Havana too fast to
, guage the response."
Gilmore said the departure was
"smooth no incidents at all." He
said the embassy would be closed
and the 10 Americans who stayed
would come home in two or three
days, as soon as arrangements
can be completed for the Swiss
to take over.
Counsul-General James E.
Brown Jr., another of the arriv
als, was asked if he believed the
2,000 Americans remaining in Cu
ba were in any real danger as
a result of the U.S. break in dip
lomatic relations with the Russian-supported
Castro dictator
ship. "Not in a general way," Brown
replied.
"I don't think any of them are
expecting any immediate trouble
except those whose personal ac
tivities might endanger them. It
will he uncomfortable for them
all, however. They ought to get
out if there is no compelling reas
on to stay."
Gilmore said he was under or
ders to report to Washington im
mediately and would leave here
on the first available plane.
The rest of the group will go to
Washington, proceed to their next
posts, or go on home leave.

'Jack' Dislikes 'Jack'
Favors JFK, Kennedy
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
What name do American news
paper editors prefer when they
refer lo President-elect John r
Kennedy in headlines? Kennedy,
Jack or-JKK7
The majority of papers, use Ken
nedy or JKK.
Only a few of the 100 newspa
pers polled by The Associated
Press indicated they will continue
to use "Jack."
The subject came up when a
reporter asked what name Ken
nedy himself preters.
Answered his press secretary
Pierre Salinger; "He feels that if
he had a choice he would prefer
just Kennedy, or that the initials
JFK are all right, too. If he had
a choice he would be against the
use of Jack.
"But he also feels 'that the
choice is up to the newspapers.'
Long names have long been the
bane of the hard-pressed headline
writer who must fit them into
skimov column space.
Hence, suh names as Eisen
hower and Roosevelt became Ike
and FDR.
Of the newspapers queried by
AP, 46 said they would use Ken
cedy or JFK in headlines. Thirty-
six said they would use President
or Kennedy only. Some said they
would continue lo use Jack while
others said thev would use Jack
only if the story warranted it or
it fitted in designated space, one
paper said il would use John F.
and another John.
"Jack is taboo," said the Fort
Lauderdale. (Fla.) News.
"No Jack, no John, no JFK,"
said the Philadelphia Inquirer,
which prerers Kennedy.
"Impolite," said the Indianapo
lis News.
But there were pro-Jack papers,
too.

Husband Confesses
To Wife Burning
LAKEWOOD, N.J. (AP)' A
woman died of burns today and
police said Iter husband admitted
setting her afire after giving her
a sedative...
The husband, John Robert Van
Arsdall Sr., 36, an unemployed
seaman, was held in lieu of $25.-
000 bail on an assault with intent
to kill charge.
His wife, Veronica Van Arsdall,
49, was brought to Paul Kimball
Hospital Dec. 13 with burns on
60 per cent of her body.
The burning was tirst listed as
an accident. Arsdall said that his
wife had been burned in a kitchen
mishap. Later, he. told Mrs. Ars
doll's daughter by a previous
marriage, Constance Reinke, that
her mother was burned by a cig
arette while lying on a couch.
Mrs. Arsdall was an invalid
with whom Arsdall bad been hav
ing .marital difficulties, slate
investigator James Hart said.
Mrs. Reinke ' reported the al
leged discrepancy in Arsdall's ac
count. The seaman broke down
Tuesday and admitted having set
his wife afire, Hart said.
Hart said Arsdall told him that
he gave his wife a sedative and,
dropped a lighted pack of match
es on her. He said lie waicnod as
his wife, in pajamas and a robe,
burned.
Hart said the seaman told him
that he had a change of mind and
tried to put out the flames.
Bench Warrant Issued
For Bail 'Jumper'
District Judge Gerald R. Hayes
has issued a bench warrant for the
arrest of Fred Rae Schemer of
1107 SW Medford St., Roseburg,
when he failed to appear for trial
Wednesday.
Schemer had pleaded innocent
on earlier arraignment lo n charge
of transporting coniferous trees
without a bill or sale. He was re
leased pending trial on $.r0 bail.
Judge Hayes said Schemer atuo
rustically forfeits this bail for fail
ure to appear, hut this does not
dispose of the rase. He will have
to appear and replead or have a
new trial set down, and will have
to post additional bail it he is to
be released.
Judge Hayes said the rase has
cost the court upwards of $100 for
jurors ordered to appear and oth
er expense.
It further Imposed a problem iq
that this was the opening of the
new term of court, and prospec
tive jurors are all called in for
consultation by the court at the
time of the first trial so that they
ran become familiar with trial pro
cedure. The jurors all had to be
released lo go home without gain
ing this trial procedure informa
tion. Schemer was arrested by Stale
Police on Dec. II on U.S. High
way 99 near Roseburg, having in
his possession 6S trees without a
hill of sale showing title, according
to the complaint filed.

Moscow Idaho Hit
By Second Blaze
MOSCOW, Idaho (AP) The
second major fire in little over a
week burned through a business
block in downtown Moscow Thurs
day and damage again was ex
peeled to run well over $100,000.
Dense clouds of acrid black
smoke poured from a two-story
brick faced building on the city's
main street. Spotlights played on
the building as the entire Moscow
fire department battled the blaze
in freezing temperatures.
The first alarm was turned in
about 5:20 a.m. and the fire
quickly ate upward through the
building. Flames finally burst
through the roof despite tons of
water poured into the building.
The building housed a tavern,
television repair shop, offices of
the Idano State Police and several
small businesses. It adjoins the
new Creighton Building which was
struck by a $100,000 fire Dec. 27.
It was the fourth major fire in
the business block in the last 14
years and ran the total damage
from all the blazes to well over
hair a million dollars.
Firemen said Thursday's fire
apparently started in the base
ment, perhaps in the furnace. The
fire in the adjoining building a
week ago Tuesday apparently was
touched off by a faulty wiring or a
short in the fuse box.

A Marion County Circuit Court
