Death ToU Highest of 5 B-36
Crashes: Sandstorm Blamed
By Bill Rawlins and Steve Lowell
- - ALBUQUERQUE, May 6-4Twenty-thrfeej airmen died today in
the flaming crash of a B-36 bomber on the outskirts of Albuquerque,
N. Mex. ; - f I '
It was the fifth and worst crash of a B-36, largest U. S. bomber.
The air force put its first B-36 into operation in August, 1946.

Our public men are by no means
Infallible. The comment attributed
to President Hoover in the depth
of the depression that business
would be "around the corner" in
90 days was used later as a taunt.
President Roosevelt's 1932 prom
ise to balance the budget became
a joke. In recent years the file of
famous bum guesses has grown
much longer. We really can't take
too seriously the prognostications
of our leaders in public life. Wasn't
it only last June that President
Truman said the outlook for peace
was the best it had been in five
years? And within the month war
broke out in Korea.
- The U. S. News and World Re
port does a neat job of compiling
wrong prophecies of the famous. I
pick out a few of them:
1938. Prime Minister Chamber
lains' report on Munich; "I believe
it is peace for our time."
; 1939. Gen. MacArthur, field
marshal of the Philippine army: A
successful invasion of the Pilip
pines would take "a half million
men, ten billion dollars, tremen
dous casualties and three years
time." .
1941. Herbert Hoover: "To In
vade Hitler's Europe . . might take
40 million tons of ships to carry
our army over the Atlantic. And
they might ndt be able,, to land
even then. It would take ten years
to build those ships." ,
June 23, 1941. General Marshall:
Ifs conceivable that the Russians
will collapse within a month.
Aug. 1, 1941. Sen. Taft: "My
opinion is that the situation today
. . . looks infinitely safer."
Dec. 1-6, 1941. Pres. Roosevelt.
A large Japanese force . . . pro
ceeding southward by sea from
Shanghai . . . strengthened the
conviction of the American .

The Salem area got its heaviest
soaking in 85 days during the
week end..
Rain between 8 p.m. Saturday

inches the most here in 24 hours
since February 10, the weather
bureau reported. ?
Sunday marked the tenth

Daaiy injured.
The six-engine bomber crashed
and burned at 12:30 p. m. (MST)
in a blinding sandstorm on Kirt
land air: force base. The wreck
age was scattered over 1,000 feet,
barely two blocks from the muni
cipal air terminal.
- Minutes before ,the big craft
had thundered low over the Albu
querque ; business area. It came
in for the ill-fated landing after
a three-hour flight from Carswell
air force base, Fort Worth, Tex.
Runway Obscured
One wing dipped to the earth
as the plane came in. Dust ob
scured the paved runway. The
plane bounced and careened-in a
circle to the right. Flames burst
out in the right outboard engine.
When the plane touched ground
again, it exploded.
"I didn't want to look, Lt. Wil
liam S. Knipple of Albuquerque
said. "I turned my back." -
Carl Lund, another witness,
said there ivas " a blinding flash
of flame that towered more than
a hundred jfeet in the air then
the sound of an explosion."
Col. P. B Griffith, commanding
officer t Kirtland, said 22 of the
men were killed in the crash. The
other man died at nearby Sandia
base hospital, where the injured
were taken! ,
Like Burning Oil Field
"I looked out the window and
it looked like a burning oil field,"
Col. Griffith said.
He said it is believed the wing
of the craft dipped as the plane
blew a jet pod just before the
crash. The B-36 has four jet auxi
liary engines in addition to its
six pusher type propellor engines.
It took; only five minutes for
firemen o reach the scene, but
their efforts were hampered by
oil fire, which flashed to three
other, planes parked nearby. An
air force C-54, a Beachcraft Bo
nanza and a Lockheed twin-engined
transport were badly dam
aged.

Marshall will be the leadoff man
for the Pentagon and the White
House in answerinr for a senate

raised by jMacArthurs testimony
on his concerted disagreement
with the : policy of "limited" war
in Korea. S
One thing nobody had any
doubt: Marshall in testimony be
fore the combined senate armed
services s and foreien relations
committees will counter Mac-
Arthur's scatching three-day at
tack with .the nlea that th Map-
Arthur way may well be the way
to general war. That is th tatpt
view of 1 President Truman who
fired MacArthur from his Far
East command.
The denosed eeneral's nrmosf to
view, restated countless times in
the marathon stint on the witness
stand which he completed late
yesieraay,! is that world war III
is more likelr to crow out of fail
ure to whip communist China
completely in Korea.
MacArthur argued that stale
mate there Or the "aDneasomrnit"
of which he expressed fear
would look to Soviet Russia like
a sign of western weakness and
a signal to strike.
Aeainst this the serrtai-v nt

the risk of set tin? off dimt Pn

Chinese Use
New-Type Jet
Night Fighter
TOKYO, Monday, May liPh
The Chinese are using a new type
jet night fighter in the Korean air
war. j-
Three of them made an appear
ance early Sunday when they at
tacked a lone B-26 returning from
a 4 night mission in northwestern
Korea. r
They followed the American
plane approximately 20 minutes,
making several ineffectual passes
before breaking away.
It was the third appearance of
the mysterious night flying com
munist jet, apparently Russian
made. The air force is withholding fur
ther information about the jets
until a more detailed description,
based mostly on pilot reports, can
be obtained.
One reason for the scarcity of
information comes from the fact
that in every case the new-type
jets possibly heavier than the fa
miliar Mig 15 fighter have at
tacked U. N. planes at night or in
hours before dawn. ,
Nazi-Like Party
Gains Strength'
In Reich Vote
HANNOVER, Germany, Mon
day, May 7-(i!p)-A Nazi-like party
led by former supporters of Adolf
Hitler showed surprising strength
yesterday in a West German state
election- f
Despite the showing by the mil
itantly nationalistic .neo-Nazi so
cialist reich party (SRP), the reg
ular socialist party held its cus
tomary lead position in the ballot
ing for the) state parliament in
lower Saxony, in the. British oc
cupation zone. The fascist group
was in fourth place, disconcerting
allied observers by winning 11 per
cent of the total vote.
Complete official returns for all
10 parties showed:
Socialists, 1,123,068 votes, or 33.7
per cent of the total.
Christian j democrats and the
German party, campaigning to
gether, 790,923, or 23.8 per cent.
Union of refugees (BME), 496,
269; 14.9 per cent.
Socialist reich party, 336,790; 11
per cent
Free democrats, 278,269; 8.4 per
cent.
Zentrum (Catholic center) party,
110,343; 3.3 per cent.
j German Reich party, 74,108; 2.2
per cent f
; Commmunists, 61,371; 1.8 per
cent
German social party, 26,040; 0-8
per cent
German right party, 3,405; 0.1
per cent f
The socialist reich jumped up
from well down among Lower
Saxony's parties in previous elec
tions with a campaign pledge to
"restore the; many good features
of Naziism."! It was the first time
since the war that any party had
dared openly to attempt such a
campaign. Its success alarmed
both allied and German govern
ment officials.

Mobilization Chief ' Asks Vet Bonus
Payments, j Civic Construction Wait
WASHINGTON, May 6 - (P) - Mobilization Director Charles E.
Wilson took the unprecedented step tonight of calling on states, cities
and counties to get "clearances" before undertaking any borrowing
in excess of $1,000,000. . - ,
The mobilization chief also asked that soldiers' bonus payments,
war memorials, recreational and other "postponable" projects be put
off for the duration of the defense
emergency at least where funds
must be borrowed to pay for
them. V . ; .
.There was . a broad hint too,
that many road, school, water sys
tem, drainage and sewage con
struction projects in fact all pub
lic works not urgently needed for
health, safety or defense should
be given the same treatment
.Wilson, basing his requests on
the need . to halt inflationary
spending J and to save defense
needed materials and manpower,
put his appeal inlo letters to gov
ernors, mayors and county offi
cials, declaring: )j j
, "To avoid a runaway rise in
prices, it is vital that all practi
cable steps be taken to reduce
other : (non-defense) demands for
goods and . labor at this time."
Await Slack Period
Many of the projects which
could be postponed now, he said,
later on ! "would contribute .to
maintaining a high level of em
ployment in a period, of i slack
business.i
Financial Institutions over the
nation were given a simultaneous
plea to back up Wilson by buying
no bond issues regardless of size
of state and local governments
unless the later have gotten bor
rowing "clearances. - '.
To r give or refuse the clear
ances specified by it and by Wilson
the National Voluntary Credit Res
traint committee has set up four
investment banking regional com
mittees designed as eastern, mid
western, southwestern and west
ern. ..!' ,V
Standards Laid Down
And to guide the clearance com
mittees and lending institutions in
passing upon individual borrowing
proposals by state, cty and county
officials, the national committee
laid ' down some - test-standards
saying:
"If not urgently needed for the
preservation of public health and
safety or for purposes directly re
lated to defense, public works
should be deferred. ... .
"Among the types of state and
local government capital outlay
for which ... the financing should
be . postponed are : S
"1. Replacement of any exist
ing facilities that can continue to
perform their functions during the
emergency period.
- "2. Construction of facilities of
the types not recommended by the
defense production, administration
such as recreational facilities
and war memorials.
"3. Acquisition of sites or rights-of-way
not immediately needed.
"4. Purchase of privately-owned
utilities by municipalities which
involves borrowing to replace
equity capital (meaning to buy up
stock.'
Opposes Bonuses -
The - national committee disap
proved soldiers bonus issues most
strongly . of . all, declaring . flatly
they are "inflationary under to
day's conditions.'' 7 .-
"They add to the spending pow
er of the public through the crea
tion of credit" the committee con
tinued. ;
"It would seem desirable to
postpone such issues until a time
when immediate purchasing pow
er Is needed to counteract unem
ployment and when it might be
more beneficial to the veterans."
The committee's recommenda
tions were set out in a special
bulletin which Wilson attached to
the Identical : letters he sent ' to
"governors of all states, mayors
of major cities, financial officials
of principal counties and other po
litical subdivisions" ?
Neither Wilson nor the commit
tee has any power to compel lead
ers or local government officials
to comply with their requests.
