M. Wreckage Stcewn' For Half Mile on Jack Davies Place War was brought close to home this week when a large bomber, apparently manned by a crew of eieht men, crashed in a summer fallow tract owned by Jack Da vies near Cecil. The accident oc curred at 3:53 a. m. and the impact exploded the gasoline setting the wreckage afire and starting a grass ','ire which burned over six or seven acres before brought under control by people from Cecil who rushed to the scene. So intense was the lire that witnesses were unable to ap proach nearer than 100 yards, thus frustrating any attempt at rescue. Upon hearing of the disaster, County Attorney P. W. Mahoney drove to the scene but ere he ar rived there a cordoni of guarda from the Pendleton base had been thrown around the wreaage and no one was adrrutttd- Pendleton base officials were checking up to' as certain if the ship, presumably a B-l? bomber, might be from that field. Another crash near Patter son, Wahih.., wts reported the same day from the Walla Walla base and information about that accident also is lacking. A news dispatch from Walla Walla indicated th&t both planes were from the air field at that place. Cecil people investigating the wreck at an early hour Tuesday morning reported finding a para chute not far away. This led them to believe that the crew anticipated trouble and may have been prepar ing to leave the ship when the submit- crash came. ...
