NEIGHBOR REPORTS;
Mother Had Just Kissed Babies
Goodnight as Plane Crashed
(Editor's Note: John Leighton, a neighbor, was the first
. person to reach the scene when a Northwest Airlines plane
crashed into the borne of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Doughty,
killing their two children and 13 persons aboard the craft.)
By JOHN LEIGHTON
(As told to United Proas)
Minneapolis, March 8 (U.R) It was shocking the most terrible
tragedy I have ever seen.
I was on the telephone when the plane roared over our house
It was so low that the noise seemed to shake the entire kitchen.
A second later there was an awful explosion. A blinding flash
lighted the whole neighborhood. I saw the Doughty house In
flames from a window. We live practically across the alley from
them.
I tried to telephone the police and didn't get an answer. I
turned the 'phone over to my father to try the fire department.
I ran toward the fire. ,
I found Mrs. Doughty lying In the snow in her yard. She had
a bad cut on her right arm and blood was gushing from a wound
In her hand.
She saw me and screamed:
'My babies, my babiesl
"I just kissed them good night. Then it happened. Please save
them! They can t be gone!"
Another fellow came along and helped me carry Mrs. Doughty
to a neighbor s house across the alley.
By that time a crowd was gathering. Ambulances came along
and one took Mrs. Doughty to the hospital.
The Doughty house was still standing, but flames were shoot
ing out of every window.
Then the whole thing collapsed before our eyes,
i Nobody in the house had a chance. The fire was so hot you
couldn't get near it.
'
There wasn't a piece of the plane big enough to recognize.
I couldn't tell whether it was a big plane or a little plane.
It was weird how the whole wreckage well, almost all of it
was confined to the lot of the Doughty house. But little tiny pieces
of hot metal fell all over the neighborhood.
They're still trying to get the bodies out. It'll probably take
a long time.
It's tough to see something like this happen to a good friend
and neighbor.
Dr. Sanders Denies Knowledge
On Air's Ability to Cause Death
By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE
(Associated Press Science Editor)
Manchester, N. H March 8 () Dr. Hermann M. Sander, charg
ed With mercy killing by air Injection, testified he didn t know
anything about air's ability to cause death.
In his trial, Dr. Sander is the only doctor to date to testify that
he knew virtually nothing about air. Others, prosecution and de
fense, have testified that they
knew air was bad and that
enough could cause death. Most
said they didn't know how
much.
Dr. Sander stuck to his story
about lack of this knowledge
through sharp cross examina
tion. Once he said, in reply to a
question by Prosecutor William
L. Phinney, that . he "had no
knowledge of air embolism on
Dec. 4." That was the day he
gave air to Mrs. Abbie C. Bor
roto. Dr. Sander's story that he
does not know why he injected
the air remained unshaken
throughout hours of question
ing. He said that by Dec. 29, the
date he was accused by county
officials, he knew that air in
jection "is not acceptable medi
cal treatment." That is a medi
cal phase meaning that doctors
don't use air in veins or tissues.
The amount of air that Dr.
Sander injected was cut about
In half by his own testimony. In
his signed statement, which Is
part of the hospital records, he
said ten cubic centimeters re
peated four times.
Under cross-examination he
said this was not accurate. That
he probably injected air three
times instead of four. The first
time, he sad, he had the syringe
full but the next two only
about half full of air. These fig
ures would cut the total air to
about 25 cubic centimeters.
"They didn't give ' hie' a
break," he said of his first ques.
tioning by county officers.
He explained he meant that
when he was first questioned,
the matter already had been giv
en to the police. And that he
thought, in view of his reputa
tion, his fellow doctors should
have questioned him about the
facts before police action.
His implication was that he
would have told his colleagues
Mrs. Borroto was already dead
before he gave her air.

Civil War in China Labeled
Another War to U. S. Chinese
(Br the Associated Press)
Chinatown, U. S. A., seems to be riding out the war in China
with traditional calm and poise.
Red China or Nationalist China, the Chinese in their two typi
cal American communities, San Francisco and New York, display
little excitement over the changing rule in their homeland.
In San Francisco, which has
the biggest Chinatown, there is
little indication among the 20,
000 Chinese crowded along
Grant avenue that they feel a
great pressure to decide one way
or another about Mao Tse-Tung.
Such support as does exist in
this country for the Chinese
communists appears to be more
pronounced in New York than
in San Francisco. New York
has two pro-leftist Chinese pa
pers, and they make no secret
of it. However, the editors deny
any official link with the com
munists.
'
The nearest thing to a pro-
leftist Chinese paper In San
Francisco is a former Catholic
daily, the Chung Sal Yat Po,
acquired recently by a China
town drugstore owner. It prints
pictures of Indo Chinese com
munist Leader Ho Chi Minh
alongside those of Ingrid Berg
man. While there is no great support
for Mao, San Franciscan Chinese
still never felt the same way
about Chiang Kai-Shek's nation
alist government as they did
about Dr. Sun Yat-Sen. They
used to contribute heavily to the
founder of the republic. Only
during the war against Japan
did they send much to Chiang.
George Jue, president of the
Chinese Chamber of Commerce
in the west coast city, recently
visited Red China and didn't like
it. He says America ought to
prevent the Reds from taking
Formosa but he is no admirer of
the former nationalist govern
ment on the mainland. What
China needs, he says, is a gov
ernment as honest as the Reds
and as liberal as the Kuomin-tang.
Last October 10, nationalist
China's Independence Day, there
was a little to-do in San Fran
cisco Chinatown. A workers'
association meeting was broken
up by some young men who toss
ed blue powder around the hall.
Blue is the Kuomintang color.
At first this was thought to
reflect the war in China, but in
formed Chinese now say the boys
got the idea from one of the old-
the cooperation of the public,
and the lot owners and other in
terested parties to continue the
work that is so urgently needed

est and most conservative tongs
in town. Said one Chinese:
"They just don't like the idea
of any change, and would have
sicked the boys on to a pro-Kuo-mintang
meeting just as quick
ly." - :
Both Chinese papers which
support the nationalists the
Kuo Min Yat Po and the Young
China daily, have shrunk in
pages and circulation. The old
est and-largest daily in San Fran
cisco's Chinatown the Chinese
World WAAQ was Increasingly
critical of Chiang after the war
but is now also critical of Mao.
New York has between 6,000
and 7,000 crowded along Mott
street. Shavey Lee; so-called
"mayor" of Chinatown there,
says "99 percent" of the local in
habitants are against the com
munists. .
"About 85 or 90 percent," he
says, favor the Chiang Kai-Shek
government. Most of the rest
are indifferent but yet they don't
favor the Reds. Chiang him
self, is still an idol here but many
didn't like the corruption in his
government."

Judge Removes
Commie Jurist
Pittsburgh, March 8 () A
30-year-old woman secretary
who had been identified by an
FBI undercover agent as a com
munist was barred yesterday
from serving on a grand jury.
Judge Michael A. Musmanno
announced he was removing
Mrs. Alice Roth from the jury
panel because "the patriotism of
the grand jury must be above
reproach."
Judge Musmanno a World
War II naval captain and pre
siding jurist at the German war
crimes trial described his ac
tion as the first of its kind in
the U.S. to his knowledge.
"I would bar any member of
the communist party from jury
duty," he said, "if I were certain
of their party affiliation. In
Mrs. Roth's case, she did not ad
mit she was a communist but
she made no attempt to deny it."
Mrs. Roth was one of a score.

as communist party members - in .

Cvetic before the house commit

The FBI agent posed as a com
munist while gathering Informa

ciety says China paid tribute to
Tibet for about 1,000 years, until
the 18th century.
