TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday. April 10, 1955 Airline Crash Said Caused by Failure To Step for Gasoline Washington (U.PJ The Civil Aeronautics Board said a non schedule airliner whicii crashed near Pittsburgh, Pa., last Dec. 22 probably ran out of gasoline after deliberately passing up a refueling stop. The CAB called this "incredi ble." But it said the crash re sulted from "inadequate flight planning." Contributing Faciori Inadequate supervision and training of the crew also were Two Oregon Firms Named in Federal Anti-Trust Suit Washington (U.R) A co- onerative which markets and manufactures cranberries and cranberry products, two corpor ations, and two persons were in dicted Friday on charges of anti trust violations. Returned in Boston The indictments were returned by a federal Grand Jury in Bos ton, Mass., Atty. Gen. Herbert Brownell Jr., announced here. Brownell said the indictment named the National Cranberry Association of Hanson, Mass.; the A. D. Makepeace Co. of Wareham, Mass.; the United Cape Cod Cranberry Co. of Han son; Marcus L. Urran, of Han son, general manager of the cran berry association, and John C. Makepeace, of Wareham, secretary-treasurer of the association. Oregon Firms Named The four - count Indictment charged that the defendants in duced and compelled" independ ent cranberry growers, other co operatives and independent ship pers of cranberries to sell solely to the defendant association. A trust company and seven other firms also were named as co-conspirators. They included Coos Cranberry Cooperative, Bandon, Ore. contributing factors in the crash, the CAB said. Ten per sons were drowned when the plane ditched intheMonongahela River. The Johnson Flying Service plane was carrying 23 military personnel from Newark, N.J., to Tacoma, Wash., with three stops scheduled en route. The victims included the pilot and nine of the passengers. The board said the Johnson company "did not properly check the competency of the crew" before assigning them to the flight. It 'said the plane, a modified version of the Douglas DC3, was overloaded when it took off from Newark airport and "the flight was improperly planned, and ' was not conducted In ac cordance with the company's op erations manual." Passed Refueling Point The captain, Harold A. Poe, 32, passed a suitable refueling point after he had been advised that the fuel was low, the board found. "It is incredible that in . . . aircraft flown by accredited per sonnel could be forced down for lack of fuel on a short night flight in good weather when we think of the great progress avia tion has made to date." The plane had been planning to stop at Pittsburgh and was making an approach to the near by Allegheny County Airport when it reported it was out of gas. Youngster Gets New Shoes After Gift To Easter Bunny Pittsburgh (U.R) David Sundo, the three-year-old who Two Natural Gas Companies Merge Interests in Area HOW CHRISTIAN SCIENCE HEALS Station Sundays KWIN . 10:15 1400 K.C. A M- Spokane, Wash. (U.R) Pa cific Northwest Pipeline Co. Houston, Tex., and Trans-Northwest Gas Co., Spokane, have merged their interests to bring natural gas to the Pacific North west. Paul Graves, chairman of the Trans-Northwest board, said Saturday. Ends Long Battle The agreement ends a two year battle over which firm would supply the region with gas and may result in the ar rival of natural gas to Northwest cities by summer of 1956, he said. The Federal Power Commis sion had ruled in favor of the Texas firm which would pipe gas to the Northwest from the San Juan basin of New Mexico. The local firm wanted to import it from Canadian fields and ap pealed the FPC decision. The new agreement, reached in New York, withdraws the legal action, Graves said. It also affects Westcoast Transmission Co., Ltd., and Pacific Petroleum Ltd., both of British Columbia. He said Pacific Northwest would begin building its pipe line as soon as possible to this area and that one of its lines would connect at Sumas. Wash., to a Canadian line built by West Coast transmission. worried because the Easter Bunny had no shoes, received a new pair of Easter footgear Saturday. A department store replaced the shoes which the big-hearted youngster left on the sill of a display window when he saw the bunny inside hopping around with nothing on its feet. Didn't Understand Fuss But little David still doesn't understand the fuss over him. '.What about the poor bare foot bunny?" he asked his mother, Mrs. Anthony Sundo, of nearby Aspinwall, Pa. David came to town with his mother and one-year-olo brother Thursday to buy new shoes. As they left the Joseph Home Co. store, they stopped to gaze at a window where the store had ar ranged an Easter display of live animals several rabbits, some chicks and ducklings, a lamb and a cat. Concerned About Bunny The boy, who was carrying the package containing shoes just purchased for $12.50 for him and his brother, was concerned about the bunny's plight. So he left the package of shoes on the window sill. When Mrs. Sundo discovered he no longer carried the package, she re turned, but too late. The shoes were gone. ' Davis knows the Easter Bunny didn't get his new shoes. Now he wants to give the rabbit his old pair. Selection of New Job GBy Corse Predocted BY WILLIAM GALBRAITH United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) Edward Corsi, ousted assistant to Secre tary of State John Foster Dulles on immigration matters, prob ably will reject a substitute post because he feels Dulles has sur rendered to "totalitarian" pres sures. This is the opinion of friends close to Corsi. They said he has lost all enthusiasm for service in the State Department because of the way Dulles handled his case. Corsi had been accused by Rep. Francis E. Walter (D-Pa.) of belonging to Communist-front organizations. Corsi vigorously denied this. Job Temporary Earlier this week, Corsi was told by the State Department that his job was a temporary one which would expire Sunday and that he would not be continued in the post. Corsi said he had not known before that his ap pointment was temporary and never would have accepted it if he had. Friday, Dulles offered Corsi another job as consultant on migration problems in Latin America and other areas. Corsi put the blame for his ouster squarely on Walter, co author of the McCarran-Walter Immigration Act which Corsi has bitterly criticized. Corsi said in an interview that he told Dulles during a meeting Friday "it is a sad thing for America when a mere statement by Walter can be made to de stroy the character and reputa tion of men who are willing to serve their country." Friends said Corsi felt Dulles had surrender by dropping him from the post instead of standing firmly behind him. The ousted official said Dulles told him all men in public life are subject "to these things that he himself had had experi ences like this." Dulles said in a statement on the case that "questions of se curity" had not played a part in his decision to remove Corsi from the immigration advisory post. Corsi said Dulles told him simply that there was no sense in continuing the controversy with Walter "that it didn't do anybody any good." "I certainly intend to keep up this fight on my own this fight for humanitarianism in our im migration policy," Corsi said "I am not being cowed by Mr. Walter or anybody else." , (See story on Page 1) On The Side By E.

E. B. Browning. Women of experience claim the Italians are the greatest lovers. Some men of science say bald headed men are greater lovers than those males who are well supplied with hair.

Inc. 20,000,000 Britons Hear Billy Graham Glasgow, Scotland U.R) Billy Graham held millions of Britons spellbound Friday night in the first televised sermon of his "Tell Scotland" crusade. The handsome American evangelist gave an hour-long Good Friday message to an au dience estimated oy the British Broadcasting Corp. at 20,000, 000. In Glasgow, hundreds of per sons without tickets to Kelvin Hall where the meeting was held stood outside in the rain to watch Graham on television screens in shop windows. Dozens of churches in Scot land devoted their Good Friday evening services to watching the telecast from Kelvin Hall. Crowded to Capacity The hall itself was crowded with a capacity audience of 17, 000 and 343 came forward to make "decisions for Christ." Some 7,194 persons have been converted in the three weeks, half-way point of Billy's crusade. "The whole world tonight knows there is something radi cally wrong with the human race," Graham said. "People say it is the hydrogen bomb and whether it will or will not be ex ploded. But it's not hydrogen bomb it's man himself. "Man is radically wrong within himself."

"It wsuld have been certain death," a fire department offi cial said, for Nancy Willis, 14, and Alfred (Sonny) Paine Jr., 16, to try and leave the car which was lodged on a rocky ledge amidst roaring Smith River. Plunged Oyer Bank Nancy, a novice driver, was operating Sonny's car when it failed to make a turn into a side road Wednesday night. The car rolled 25 feet down an incline, then plunged another 25 feet down the steep embankment into the icy river. The swift current carried Paine's 1949 Chevrolet sedan 400 feet downstream before it lodged, engine pointing up stream, under a bridge.

Nancy said Sonny wanted to swim for help but she persauded him not to try it, fearful he would perish in the rapids. They were unhurt though Nancy's glasses were broken in the im pact. The bridge prevented search ers from seeing the teenagers car until Friday morning. They were rescued by fire department ladders and taken to a Franklin Hospital for treatment for shock and exposure. 1 Wondering Where To Park Your Car in Medford?
