Caldwell, Ida. U.R) Charlie

indicated his grades were not
high enough to allow him to

Burns Said Cause
Of Plane Deaths
New York U.R) The twenty
passengers killed in the crash of
a Northeast Airlines plane Fri
day died of burns and not from
injuries received in the crash, a
medical report showed Tuesday.
Dr. Milton Helpern, chief city
medical examiner, Said "not one
died of injuries from the impact
of the crash." He said if there
hadn't been a fire not a single
death would have occurred."
Helpern said after autopsies
performed on all the victims that
fire generating carbon mon
oxide, rendered the passengers
unconscious and they were un
able to escape the flames.
Nearly all the 81 survivors
were injured and most suffered
burns when the DC6A cracked
up on Rikers Island minutes aft
er it took off from LaGuardia
Airport in a snowstorm.
Teams of Civil Aeronautics
board experts continued to
examine wreckage and gather
information for a public hearing
on the disaster to be held in two
or three weeks.

Disaster Said To Be
Under Restrictions
Washington (U.R) The Civil
Aeronautics Board told Congress
today a DC 7B airliner that col
lided with a jet fighter in the
Los Angeles area last Thursday
was operating under a permit
specifically forbidding flight
tests "over congested areas."
Oscar Baake, director of the
CAB'S Bureau of Safety, testi
fied about the collision before
the House Commerce committee.
He did not say immediately
whether the crash, after which
the big ship fell into a school
yard at Pacoima, was considered
to have taken place in such a
As a result of the accident, in
which three children and five
adults perished, the CAB Tues
day issued new regulations under
which all military and civilian
flight tests after Feb. 19 must be
made over water or sparsely
settled areas approved by the
government.
Policy Already Established
But Bakke said it already was
firmly established policy that
flight tests must not be con
ducted in areas where the popu
lace might be imperiled.
In last week's California
crash both the DC7B, a new
plane being tested prior to de
livery to an airline, and the F89
jet fighter with which it collided
at 26,000 feet were conducting
flight test operations.
Bakke said the exact limita
tions under which the F89 was
flying have not yet been deter
mined. At the time of the crash
it was in the midst of a maneu
ver with another jet conducted,
Bakke said, with "an unusually
high order of precision."
As for the big new Douglas
airliner, he said it was operat
ing under a special permit for
tests leading to award of the
customary certificate of air
worthiness, prior to delivery' to
a purchaser.
This permit, he said, "clearly
states that the flight of the air
craft . . . shall not be carried
out over congested areas or
areas ot high trattic density.
except while landing or taking
off.
Bakke was not asked immedi
ately, and did not volunteer,
whether the area of the crash
was in the prohibited category.
City Limits Poses
Problem for Officials
Roxboro, N. C. (U.R) A re
cent extension of the city limits
here has motorists, the city
fathers and police confused, to
say the least.
The extension took one half
of Highway 57 into the city
while the other sideof the road
is still in the county.
Motorists . entering Roxboro
must observe a 35 mile per hour
speed limit while those leaving
town can travel 55 miles per
hour.
Then there is the matter of
jurisdiction. The state Highway
Patrol handles the northbound
lane while city police look after
the south-bound lane on the half
rfiile stretch.
Something will have to be
worked out," said City Manager
W. F. Timberlake.

Bakke emphasized that weeks
of careful inquiry lie ahead, be
fore the CAB can hope to say
definitely what caused the colli
sion. He testified in detail about
the radar-testing maneuvers con
ducted by the F89 and a sister
plane just prior to the collision.
The jet involved in the colli
sion was just completing a 90
degree left turn when it struck
the left wing of the liner, strip

science talent search conducted
by the Science Clubs of America.
They were awarded all
expense trips to Washington
where they will compete in the
five-day science talent institute
beginning March 7.
The Oregon winners were
Willis Willard Balderree Jr., 17,

Seeks Chemistry Degree
Balderree will graduate at the
top of his class from Grants Pass
High school in May and plans
to get a doctor's degree in chem
istry from Stanford University.
In his search project, the young
chemist did research on the
synthesis of coordination com
pounds of cobalt with examples
of inorganic isomerism and the
stabilization of unusual valence
states.
Miss Simiia, who gradutes
from North Salem High school
In June, plans to study chemistry
and music writing at Oregon

Her analyses and comparisons
of commercial detergents, soaps,

her a position among the
finalists.
Northeast Oregon Land
Urged for Recreation
Pendleton U.R) J. Herbert
Stone, regional forester,, yester-!
day recommended that 99,000 i
acres of land in northeast Ore
gon be developed for game hunt

purposes.
Stone said an analysis recent
ly completed in the area shows
it should be managed for multi
purpose use. The area he recom
mended for the change is located
between the Tucannon and We
