3rd Section Medford Pages 1-10 Tribune MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1959 Religious Group Frightened by Lights Given Off by Air Crash Lewiston, Mont. (UPD A meanwhile, had parachuted group of 75 religious pacifists from their doomed plane and were using the lights from the Wednesday revealed how their little Hutterite colony reacted when it feared a near by federal navigational instal lation was under attack by atomic bombers from Russia. The group's fear resulted from the crash of three U.S. twin-jet interceptor fighters during a driving blizzard the previous , night. The explo sions lighted the sky and re flections off the swirling snow resembled the mushroom cloud from an atomic explo sion. One plane crashed a quar ter of a mile from their ranch. ,. - Four crewmen were killed when they crashed with their planes while two others bail ed out and were rescued by the Hutterites. I Joseph Stahl, the leader of the King Colony Hutterite ranch, said he heard an ex plosion and saw the glare of fire in the snow. Fard Atomic Attack "The sky was lit up like a thousand torches I thought the Russians had bombed, us and I was fearful for our peo ple," he said. "I thought an atomic bomb attack had be gun. The entire colony' shook from the blast. The whole sky was afire and I said a prayer and then hurried to give the alarm we had been attacked In a firm, German-accented voice, Stahl said he aroused the other members of the colony and told them he fear ed bombers had attacked the navigational installation lo cated on the Hutterite land to guide aircraft to the Lewis- town Airport. Stahl said the other mem bers of the colony, dressed in their traditional black cloth ing, rushed out into the bliz zard and were assigned to spe cific duties. i One man was sent to extin guish lights in a hog barn and chicken coops. Another rush ed to put out lights in o.ther barn buildings. In a matter of seconds , all. JL5 buildings in the colony were in total darkness. Lights Gnided Airmen ; The two surviving airmen, Hutterite ranch to guide their descent. Capt. John Budner, 31, of Bluefield, W. Va., said that after he bailed out of his plane "I looked around for lights and saw a bunch a little way off. Then they all went out." , Budner's radar observer, Lt. James Johnson, 27, of Groes back, Tex., suffered the same fate and eventually landed in a muddy stubblefield. Stahl said "we put out the lights in case it was an inva sion." After the blackout Stahl telephoned authorities in Lewistown and was told that there had been no enemy attack but -that three U. S. fighter planes' had run out of fuel in the blizzard and crashed. , Begins Search Stahl immediately banded his people together and a search was begun "for survi vors. ' "We had flashlights and we hollered," Stahl said. "Finally we found one of them, Capt. Budner. He told us he got out of the aircraft just three sec onds "before it crashed. We found the other boy Lt. John son a little later." Budner said he landed in a deep valley and started to settle down by a log for the night when he, saw a spot light and heard yelling. Then the Hutterites came up," he said. "They had every body out there who could walk, it seems like, all with good flashlights. I told them' Johnson was still out there and warned them not to get too close to the plane because it might blow. "They raced me back to the ranch and a short time later came back with John son, all covered with mud." Stahl said his colony was one of nearly a dozen Hutter ite communities that dot the central Montana -plains. ' The members engage in farming, rarely leave the ranches and frequently are the brunt of attacks by other farmers be cause they are conscientious objectors. New-Type Glue Said Designed To Prevent Curling Washington (Science Serv-ice)-Glues are getting a "new look." Some new glues even look like paper. In fact, one manu facturer of gummed printing papers strongly urges the pressman to lick and deter mine for himself which side is the paper side. Otherwise, the whole print run may go through the press on the glue side. , The National Bureau of Standards here has been studying selected new types of glue, for possible use on post age stamps, at the request of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The Post Office wants a glue for stamps that will not get sticky - and stuck - in a humid climate. It also wants a glue that will not curl tightly in an arid climate. Stamps with a tight, pre-lick curl do not stick well. Non-Glossy Surface The answer to - the stamp problem may lie in new glues that are soluble either in wa ter or an organic solvent. These can be spread over pa per while dissolved in an or ganic solvent that does not wet the paper. They dry to a non-glossy surface that looks like paper. When licked, how ever, the glue gets sticky and ready for its job. In one such glue, dextrin is pulverized and mixed with a binder of polyvinyl methyl ether and an organic solvent of totuol. The totuol dissolves the binder, out not the dex trin. Spread on paper, the. mixture dries to an opaque adhesive layer of powdery dextrin held together by the polyvinyl methyl ether. When moistened, the dextrin gets sticky. Paper Doesn't Curl Thus as humidity changes, and the glue absorbs or re leases moisture disproportion ately to the paper, the ex panding or contracting pow dery glue . particles do not cause the paper to curl. If the binder and dextrin are mixed with water, both K.L.M. Royal Dutch Air lines, founded on Oct. 7, 1919, calls itself the oldest airline in the world. dissolve and the result is a glossy, transparent, continu ous film which, even after careful manufacturing, causes paper - curl when humidity changes. This new type glue is now being used in a series of science books for the layman published by Nelson Double day in cooperation with Science Service here. The glue is applied to sheets of perforated color pictures, found in the center of the books, which the reader separ ates, moistens and sticks into the text at indicated spots.
