Forty six persons escaped seri ous injury when a four-engined Navy transport flipped over, lost a wing and skidded upside down during a landing at the Sand Point Naval Air Station. Fire broke out but was quickly extin guished. When the plane came to a slop most of the passengers were hang ing upside down from safely belts, their heads and bodies padded against the crackup they had been warned might occur. No one received more than scratches and bruises and only minor treatment was necessary. Hero of the operation was James V. Trosper. 2fi, an aviation mechanic from Torrance, Calif., whose duty it was to relay orders from the pilot to the passengers. He had seen to it that they were safely strapped in and more or less protected. Then, as the plane cartwheeled over and skidded upside down, Trosper, who himself was n o t strapped in, made his way to the exit door, opened it and saw that the passengers got out safclv. t he K5U carried 42 men ot rc. serve unit VS891 home to Seattle from Los Alamitos, Calif., where they had been on a two-week training trip, and a crew of eight.

Folks who were up early on Sun day morning, Jan. 31, 1937, knew it was cold without looking ana when they did look they noticed it had started to snow. It didn't stop at nine o'clock as early morn ing snows usually do. It kept right on snowing and heavier. By dusk people knew they were in for something exceptional. And it was still snowing, snowing heavily. By then city police were getting worried. Marquees on Salem build ing fronts were designed for no such weight of snow. They were groaning under the load and the few pedestrians on downtown side walks were in jeopardy. So the po lice called for volunteers among the jail population, paid them a price, and set them to shovelling snow off marquees. Marquees Crash Their efforts saved some mar quees, not others. Those around the Miller store crashed before dawn. All over downtown Salem the snap of chains and the crash of marquees disturbed the sleep ing population. Fortunately all too feeble to withstand the load crashed before pedestrians were about on the streets. I Soon it became apparent that other sections of the city had ex tensive damage from this record snowfall of 27 inches. A big range of greenhouses on Market street collapsed. A tabernacle on Ferry street was not built to withstand a load of heavy, wet snow and crashed. Dreamland rink became a snambles of broken twisted lum ber, Mellow Moon dancehall suf fered heavy damage. A milk short age appeared imminent since Fumes Cling To Portland PORTLAND (fl Fumes with an odor "like chemicals" were noted strongly in parts of down town Portland Sunday night and the Weather Bureau said a tem perature inversion likely was at fault. A layer of warm air at 1,000 to 1.500 feet acted as a blanket, weathermen said, in keeping fumes from industrial plants from escaping upward. At one theater the fumes were so thick the projectionists had to j wipe oil lenses between reels. snow blocked streets would not permit delivery. On that day 20 years ago every shovel in Salem was sold and stores ordered an additional sup ply from Portland. Schools were closed and when the fire depart ment endeavored to respond to a call at the courthouse the big hook and ladder wagon stalled in deep snow at the city hall station en trance. It took the five boys more than an hour to get the rig back inside. Chief Harry "Buck" Hut ton was not slow about issuing a warning that day to householders about being careful with fire.
