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

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.
According to the A. P. dispatch
from Spokane, Sgt. Randolph
Jones' father lives in Joplin, Mo.,
and Sgt Paul W. Stone's father
resides in Bayside, Tex.

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.
Vichy's collaborationist chief
of government Pierre Laval,
however, still holds the contrary
view.
