Bomber Crash Near

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

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
