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."

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

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.

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." ,

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. Ex
perts on the subject have said
that fat men are better lovers
than thin men. Others say long
legged men make poor lovers.
The stargazers say man born
under Libra (September 24-Oc-tober
23) are "the great lovers
of the Zodiac." So, young wom
an, if you want a perfect lover
look for a fat, bald headed, short
legged Italian born under the
sign of Libra.

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."

Bristol, N.H. (U.R) A boy
and girl trapped 34 hours in a
half-submerged automobile prob
ably would have perished if
they had tried to flee the car
without awaiting help.
"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.
The hood of the engine com
partment sprung open and
helped to keep the raging water
swirling around the sides of the
car.
Water presure kept the doors
from being opened.
Prayed. Read Jokes "
Alfred and Nancy, both Bris
tol high school students, huddled
under a car robe first on the
front seat and the second night
on the back seat as the bone
chilling water seeped in under
the floor and rose to almost seat
level.
The youngsters prayed, chat-

ted and read a joke book over
and over.
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
