MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1942. PAGE THREE INQUEST TONIGHT FOR VICTIMS OF SISKIYOU CRASH (Continued from Page One) "boi Bodies Mangled The three bodies were man gled beyond recognition and were in a high state of de composition. One was directly under what was left of the plane and the other two were found about 80 and 90 feet distant. The bodies were brought to the coroner's. " Captain Staats estimated the scene of the crash as being about four miles from the Pacific High way, and said it took the investi gating party an hour and 50 min utes to reach the wrecked plane nd four hours to bring the dies back to the highway for removal to Mw'.fcrd. Included in the investigating party, along with Captain Staats, were Carlos W. Morris, deputy coroner; Master Sergeant Willie Daws and Sergeants Ray Garcia and Owen Davis of the army air corps here and a detail of officers IHU 1I1CU liuiu urc pva master s unit stationea in uic armory. From Falts Field The plane, according to an As sociated Press report, left Felts field in Spokane, Wash., last January 6 on a mission south, and was not heard from after re porting by radio to Medford at 10:53 a.m. on that date. After its failure to arrive at its destination an aerial search was carried on throughout nor thern California for several days, the search centering in the Fort Jones area where it had been re ported seen. The search was fi nally called off when no trace of the plane could be found. Soon after the crash a heavy snow fell in the Siskiyous, appar ently hiding the wreckage from the aerial searching parties and ground crews looking for the craft, and there it remained until discovered by Miller and Hoad ley. Lieutenant Stockwell, whose home was in Spokane, was one of the best-known photographic pilots in the army air force. He had flown this course for a num ber of years and had many friends here.

PETAIN IS CONVINCED AXIS CANNOT WIN WAR Washington, June 10 (IP) Two years of war since Dun- kerque have convinced Chief of State Marshal Petain that the axis cannot win, authoritative reports from Vichy revealed to day. There was a time after the fall of France in 1940 when Petain regarded a German vic tory as inevitable; but now, these reports said, the old mar shal is convinced Germany and her allies will be defeated.
