B52 Mishap Spews Debris
On Route 99 in California
5 Airmen Die;
Parachutes
Save 2 Others
MADERA Calif., Sept. 17
(AP) Five airmen were killed
twlay when a Riant R'52 Strato
fortress jet bomber caught fire
in the air, shed a Ming in a
nosedive and crashed near U.
S. Highway 99, strewing wreckage
across the four lane expressway
nine miles southeast of Madera.
Two men, including the plane
commander, parachuted to safety.
Several hours later Brig. Gen.
William E. Eubank Jr., command
er of Castle Air Force Base at
Merced, Calif., the B52s base 40
miles north of here, announced all
training flights scheduled for to
morrow have been canceled. He
said the base would launch an in
vestigation of what caused the
plane to burst into flames at 3,000
fret as it returned from a routine
training mission.
Srcoad Oath
' , It was the second B52 to crash.
Another exploded at 32.000 feet
last Feb. IB near Tracy. Calif.,
killing four men. Both planes were
based at Merced.
The two men who parachuted
were treated first at a Madera
hospital and then taken to Castle
AFB Hospital.
A Castle AFB information officer
identified them as Maj. Benjamin
R .Ostlind of San Marino. Calif.,
the plane commander, and Capt.
William J. Vetter of Atwater,
Calif. They were said to be in good
condition.
Hit Plowed Field
The huge $8,000,000 interconti
nental bomber exploded when it
crashed into a plowed fiel3 about
100 yards off the main north-south
federal highway in central Cali
fornia. Almost miraculously, it
apparently killed no one on the
ground, although a sheet of flames
rolled across the expressway, in
cinerating an empty farm house.
Burning debris struck one auto
mobile and a labor contractor's
bus.
Traffic was tied up badly.
Except for one large section
which fell almost intact some dis
tance away, the main wreckage
was in pieces no larger than
about four feet in diameter. The
blast blackened a corn field to the
north and scattered debris over an
area of two miles square.
Chief Deputy Sheriff William C
Helm and Deputy Sal Vizcarri
saw the plane from a short time
before it hit the ground. They
said it was coming almost directly
at them at approximately 2.000
feet altitude.
Dallas School
Registrations
Gain Slightly
Statesman Nwa Srrvtra
DALLAS, Sept. 17-Only a slight
gain in opening day registrations
was apparent Monday as 1,576 stu
dents reported for classes in the
four Dallas schools. Last year's
opening day enrollment totaled 1,
5K.1. Late registration, however, is
expected to boost the total in most
schools to new highs, school offi
cials said.
Largest classes Monday were the
second and fourth grades, which
were tops last year as the first
and third grades. The current sec
ond grade totals 166 and the fourth
180.
A comparison of current enroll
ment with last year's by buildings
is difficult as a number of classes
were shifted during the year to
make better use of classroom
space.
Registration by schools Monday
Included Lyle Klementary School.
369; Morrison F.lemenlary School.
.Ififl; Dallas Junior High, 5.V), and
Dallas High School, 297.
Schools here opened a week lat
er than most others in the valley
so that students could work in the
prune harvest.

off.' I didn't know what she
meant iut by that time the fire
engines were outside my house.
"I saw Kathy's tricycle next

her playmates was swinging
from a fire alarm box. Then, it
dawned on me! I asked Kathy
if she had turned in a fire alarm.
There had been two other false
alarms here today. Kathy said
'Well, daddy, some kids told me
If I pulled that box I could turn
on the sirens. But I couldn't turn
them off!'

No. 17S
Hiss Jury
Defended
By Adlai
Backs Away
From Statements
Given by Truman
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17
(AP)-Adlai Stevenson said to
day he "never doubted'' the
verdict that convicted Alger
Hiss, and if this puts him at
odds with former President
Truman "that Is where the rec
ord must rest."
The Democratic presiden
tial nominee also politely but firm
ly backed away from statements
by Truman, who opposed his re
nomination at Chicago last month,
that "legal racketeers" in the Ei
senhower rdministration have
tossed away government assets
Stevenson did voice agreement
with Truman, however, that the
Republican administration has fol
lowed a "give away" policy w
natural resources. And he said he
has no doubt Truman's speeches
have helped his presidential cam
paign this year.
News Caafereaca
Stevenson took these stands at
the first formal news conference
of the campaign. He came pre
pared with formal Statements say
ing he doesn't want to "add to
the difficulties" of President Ei
senhower and Secretary of State
Dulles by speaking on the "dan
gerous" Sues crisis at this time.
Stevenson faced questions from
the outset about the Hisa case.
Tnamaa Oplaloa
These questions stemmed from
Truman's recent expression of
opinion that Hiss, a State Depart
ment official when the Democrats
were in power, was not a Com
munist spy. Hiss served a prison
term after conviction on charges
that he lied when he denied pass
ing secrets to a Soviet spy ring.
Stevenson made a statement to
the court in Hiss' trial that Hiss
had a good reputation.
Asked today for comment on
Truman's statement, Stevenson
said he would be glad to answer.
He said he would repeat what
he said in 1932 that "I have
never doubted the verdict of the
jury" which found Hiss guilty.
