Final approval of the plat will be given after the area is an nexed and sewer facilities are available. The sub division is psrt of a development around Barneburg hill. In Annexation Area The area is included in a pro posed annexation on which a hearing will be held by the city council Dec. 6. An election in the proposed area will be held after that. Included in the proposed an nexation is Rogue Valley Coun-1 try club, and a 20-acre site for Rogue Valley Memorial hospital. Mclntvre pointed out that whether or not the area is an nexed, a sewer line will be in stalled to serve the area near the hospital, construction of which must start by June 31. He pointed out that if annexation fails, a petition sponsored by him will be submitted to the council, hospital site and the Mont Crest subdivision. Mclntyre stressed the need of a sewer to the hospital site, and for that reason was campaigning for annexation of the area. Total acreage in the proposed annexa tion is about 1,200 acres.

Ill-Fated Plane Said Off Course Denver U.R) A-United Air Lines DC4 was 20 miles off course without proper authoriza tion before it smashed into a Wyoming mountain on Oct. 6 killing 66 persons, a witness testified at an inquiry into the disaster here yesterday. An air line official appearing before a Civil Aeronautics Board hearing said the company dis patcher at Denver received no radioed request for a change of route after the plane took off at Denver bound for Salt Lake City. The witness, Alfred W. Dwy er, United's chief dispatcher, said flight routes cannot be changed except upon agreement by the captain of a plane and the dispatcher. The accident was the worst civil aviation disaster in U.S. history. Dwyer said the pilot of the plane, C. C. Cook Jr., Menlo Park, Calif., should have been flying at 16,000 feet altitude to cross the towering snowy range of Southern Wyoming, when the crash occurred, even though DC4s, with unpressurized cabins, normally do not operate at above 14,000 feet except in emergencies.
