Dust Storms Hit
Texas Panhandle
Planes Hampered
By Fred A. McCabe
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Oklahoma City, Okla., March 24
(IPi Clouds of coca-colored dust,
blown three miles high by near
hurricane winds, threatened today
to force airline pilots to pull their
straining planes to peak altitudes.
The clouds, formed when fierce
March winds ripped up' the soil
of the Texas panhandle, were par
ticularly bad on the, Denver to
Oklahoma City run.
Capt, Lay Dutcher, a veteran
Braniff pilot, pulled his non-pres.
surized DC-4 through one of the
worst storms yesterday.
Winds up to 70 miles an hour
lashed the plane, Dutcher said, as
he inched it up to 15,000 feet in an
effort to climb above the dust.
He didn't make it.
Visibility Cut
Dutcher said the cloud reduced
visibility to a point where the
ground was scarcely discernible.
The effect of the unusually
high altitude on the passengers
also presented a constant threat,
Dutcher said.
He advised them to relax and
avoid exercise while he fought to
keep the plane on course. Many
said breathing was difficult in the
rare air.
Dutcher said the giant cloud
stretched for about 200 miles.
He said the 15,000-foot altitude
was 5,500 feet above the normal
ceiling for this time of year.
It took Dutcher 45 minues to
clear the cloud. -
Weather observers said the
March wind swirled the dust up
from the Texas panhandle and
whipped it over eastern Colorado,
the Oklahoma panhandle, western
Kansas and some of western Ne
braska.
Panhandle farmers, fearful of
another siege of "black storms"
like those that ravished the land
in the 1930's, were reassured by
west Texas soil conservationists
that the current dust storms
