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

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.
