Pilot of Crippled Globemaster Credits Discipline With Preventing fmk
Friday. July IS. 19SS
Craft With Two
Engines Out Lands
At Hamilton Field
Hamilton Air Force Base,
Calif. (U.R) The pilot of a
crippled giant Globemaster that
almost ditched in the Pacific
ocean with 87 men aboard
credited military discipline to
day with preventing a panic
during the six harrowing hours
the plane was in trouble.
Capt. Theodore S. Roosevelt,
30, of Elyria, Ohio, a distant
cousin of two presidents, said he
. "never could have made it" if
the seven other crewmen and
79 soldiers aboard had not fol
lowed his orders.
"They acted magnificently,'
he said of the paratroopers,
members of the 187th Regi
mental Combat Team being ro
tated back to the United States
after service in Japan.
The C-124 Globemaster was
en route from Japan to Travis
Air Force Base in California.
The flight was part of "Opera
tion Gyroscope," a large air
borne rotation of soldiers be
tween the Far East and the
United States. The eventual
destination of the 187th is Fort
Bragg, N.C.
'Point of No Return
The giant plane developed
trouble about 850 miles from
California, "about 60 miles be
yond the point of no return.
The No. 3 engine went out
with internal troubles about
2:30 p.m. (PST)," Roosevelt
aid. "Shortly after, the No. 4
engine had to be feathered be
cause of internal trouble and
loss of oil."
When the first engine went
out, Roosevelt messaged Travis
and all air fields in . the San
Francisco bay area were alerted.
"Alter the second engine
went out, there was a possibility
we might lose another engine,"
Roosevelt said. "However, the
other remaining engines held up
okay, although they were failing
rapidly."
With two engines out, gas con
sumption rose alarmingly,
Roosevelt said. After the plane
landed at Hamilton Air Force
Base, he told one Air Force of
ficer, "we were running on
fumes as far as gas was con
cerned." Actually, he had 15
minutes of gas left.
Prepare To Bitch Flane
While the plane limped to
wards California at a speed of
140 knots, the passengers and
crew prepared to ditch the plane,
If necessary.
"The paratroopers Jettisoned
11 their baggage and loose gear
except their rifles," Roosevelt
continued. "The men were then
strapped in their safety belts
and their Mae West life jackets.
For a while, it was touch and
go whether the plane could main
tain altitude. As it was, it flew
between 2,000 and 3,000 feet.
A commercial DC4 met the
plana at 9:05 p.m. and stayed
with It until rescue amphibians
from California bases made con
tact. A host of ships steamed
below in case the plane should
have to land In the water.

Terry B re re ton Tells of First
Part of Trip To YMCA Conclave
Terry Brereton, Medford High
school senior, was to land to
day, in Europe yesterday, on his
way to the World Alliance of
YMCA's conference in Paris,
France. Aug. 22. He is among
some 10,000 delegates from 78
countries.
Terry, sponsored by the local
YMCA. the Mail Tribune, and
other groups, will represent the
Medford "Y" as one of 200
young men and women from the
United States.
Centennial Meeting
This will be the centennial
meetings of the World Alliance.
The honorary life president, the
late Dr. John R. Mott, died Jan.
31, and Paul M. Limbert, gen
eral secretary, will guide plan
ning for this year's conference.
Conference theme is taken from
First Corinthians, 3:9: "For we
are fellow workmen for God."
Following are excerpts from a
letter from Terry to the Mail
Tribune, written June 30, a
week after he had left Medford
and mailed from the Panama
Canal zone:
"The Pacific Northwest- dele
gation to the World Centennial
conference in Paris met in Van
couver B. C. at the VPR dock,
at 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June
21. .We wandered around and
met the rest of the delegation.
I have never met a nicer bunch
of kids.
'-'When our adviser, Mr. Mum
mery arrived we got our tick
ets and boarded -the ship. It is
really a great thrill when you
board a big passenger liner for
the first time. You walk your
feet off trying to see everything
there is to see before they cast
off.
"There are eight decks on the
boat.
"One of the things on board
which surprised me was the
fact that the stewards and crew
are very nice and friendly. An
other thing which amazed me
was the variety of countries rep
resented on the boat. They are
ail inendly and anxious to find
out what kind of a person you
are.
'If you have not done much
travelling abroad, you nrobablv
feel that Americans are very po
lite, and are probably right; but
compared with Europeans it is
a different story. The Deonle
which I have met from Aus
tralia, England, Scotland, Nor
way and several other countries
are very polite.
Hold Song Fests
"There are two Australians es
pecially whom we met in Van
couver. On the way to San
Francisco, where they disem
barked, they would come to our
song fests and add a lot to them.
One of them nJaved the ukelele
and the other was terrific on
f- i
J"1 1111 1 "''rf
"On Thursday morning we
docked at San Francisco at 8
a.m. After breakfast we divided
into groups which, if they want
ed to, could go on tours of the
city. The group I was with
hired two Cadillacs to take us
around. The fare was $3 for four
hours. During the evening an
other boy and I took two girls
from Vancouver B. C. out to din
ner and then to the amusement
park.
"We left San Francisco at
noon on Friday. We started our
French classes that afternoon.
"The boat arrived at Long
Beach Saturday morning.
"Some of- us went into town
to do some shopping. After
shopping we went to Catalina
Island amusement park.
We left for the Panama Canal
at 5 p.m."
