Dynamite Blast
Said Cause of
Airliner Crash
Washington -IUPI- The Civil
Aeronautics board said Sat
urday that a dynamite explo
sion definitely ripped apart
a Continental Airlines 707 jet
over Centerville, Iowa last
May, killing all 45 persons
aboard.
The announcement came in
the wake of an FBI report
that said a Kansan, Thomas G.
Doty, bought some explosives
not long before he boarded
the big plane.
Sabotage had been suspect
ed almost from the start as
the cause of the May 22 crash.
Leon Tanguay. acting di
rector of the CAB's bureau of
safety, said Saturday that FBI
laboratory tests confirmed
that dynamite was the explo
sive involved.
Investigators belie ved a
saboteur set off the dynamite
with a fuse placed in a soiled
towel receptacle in the jet's
lavatory.
They believe he then re
turned to his seat to await
the explosion.
The 34-year-old Doty was
reported to have carried at
least $275,000 in flight insur
ance, naming his pregnant
wife as beneficiary. His trav
eling companion on the flight,
Mrs. Geneva Fralcy, was in
sured for $75,000. Mrs. Fra
ley was Doty's business asso
ciate in a home furnishing
firm they planned to start.
Doty, who was described
as having studied use of ex
plosives in the past, was fac
ing an armed robbery charge
in Kansas City, Mo., the
plane's destination.

o
ing ruins Saturday to deter
mine how and where the fire
started. Amidst the scorched
tractors, trucks, farm imple
ments and rows of large drums
stood a tall brick chimney, a
lonely marker for the ruins.
"Not a thing" was saved;"
Green said. "All the equip
ment was inside the plant,
spray rigs and all.
"It's a terrible, terrible
thing to see your dream go
up in smoke. I had tears in
my eyes and I noticed many
of the huge crowd at the fire
did, too. A lot of the people
said it was a severe loss to
the valley. It was such a beau
tiful place!"
Scorched Trees
Although' the packing plant
and adjoining supply building
were destroyed, firemen were
able to protect two nearby
homes. Flames scorched fruit
trees approximately 200 yards
away.
The 140 acres of pear and
some apple trees around the
buildings had been leased,
Green added he definitely is
still in business and will have
a packing plant available for
handling fruit from all his
old customers and any new
ones.
Mrs. Claude Speegle, whose
home is next door to the
Stage Coach Orchards, Inc.,
phoned in the alarm. How
ever, others may have, too, her
husband said. The packing
plant is outside all fire dis
tricts except that of the state
forest patrol which does not
have equipment to handle
such a fire.
Sent Trucks
However, Medford, Jack
sonville, Central Point Rural
and the forest patrol each
sent a truck to the fire. Early
fire observers estimated it was
about 30 minutes after the
alarm was turned in at 8 p.m.
that the first water was on
the fire.
"My wife and I were read
ing when we heard a lot of
honking on the road, then
somebody knocked on the
door," Speegle said.
"I thought there must be
a heck of a party going on.
When I answered the door
somebody said, 'You have a
terrific fire next door!' I
rushed out and saw flames
shooting up 20 feet. I rushed
back in and my wife called
all the different fire depart
ments."
Work on
Construction of Interstate
Highway 5 in southern Ore

with sections from Rock Point
to Grants Pass now open to
traffic. The highway project
is slated for completion July
16. 1963.
Construction progress was
reported by Dick Geary, area
structure supervisor for Peter
Kiewit Sons. He stated that
the deck of the bridge over
Hawthorne park is now half
poured. Concrete is also pour
ed from Jackson st. to Eighth
St.
However, the section from
Eighth st. to Twelfth St. is not
yet poured. Completion of the
section Is scheduled tor the
first part of November, al
though this date is dependent
on the Ironworkers strike.

Two U.S. Army
Officers Killed
In South Vietnam
Saigon - (UP1I - Two United
States Army officers and "at
least 15" South Vietnamese
soldiers were killed Saturday
when Communist guerrillas
ambushed a military convoy
on a jungle road 25 miles
north of here, an American
military spokesman announc
ed. The two U.S. officers - a
captain and a 1st lieutenant -
were the only Americans in
the convoy, wliose total
strength was not immediately
known.
But the spokesman said all
the South Vietnamese troops
In it were either killed or
wounded and 15 were known
to be dead. The ambush oc
curred near the town of Ben
Cat.
The names of the Ameri
cans, who were serving as ad
visers to the Vietnamese
Army, were withheld pending
notification of next of kin.
Killed Instantly
The two officers were rid
ing in an open jeep in the
middle of the seven - vehicle
convoy. The captain was kill
ed instantly in the jeep by
Communist gunfire, the
spokesman said.
However, the lieutenant s
body was found lying in the
road some distance from the
vehicle.
Villagers near the area said
a force of between 400 and 600
Communist guerrillas moved
into the ambush site Friday
night to await the convoy.
Meanwhile, Gen. George H.
Decker, U. S. Army chief of
staff, said the United States
would support South Viet

are necessary to achieve fi

munist Viet Cong forces.
Decker spoke at a news

of the highway from Jackson

to begin Monday, June 18.
Plans are for this portion to
be finished July 10. However,
detail work on the road will
not be done until the first
part of October. This includes
laying the asphalt shoulders,
erecting guardrails, and plac
ing signs.
On the Seven Oaks to Rock
Point section, asphalt paving
is scheduled to begin this
week. Geary stated that the
old lanes of the highway
would be resurfaced when the
new lanes are paved. Crews
are now in the proccssif haul
ing rock as a base for the
paving. The actual paving job
is due for completion Aug.

Announces
Plan to
Airlines
ever, that a decision had not
been reached on which of the
lines would be struck - East
ern Air Lines, Pan American
World Airways or Trans
World Airlines. A spokesman
said an announcement prob
ably would not be forthcom
ing until about 9 a.m. EDT
today.
Involved are 1,700 flight en
gineers. Their two-year con
tract dispute centers around
the duties and qualifications
of the "third man" in a . jet
cockpit.
A presidential board has
recommended that the crews
be reduced from four to three
and that the third man have
both the skill of an engineer
and the training of a pilot.
The union claims this would
displace its members and put
them at the mercy of the
large and more powerful air
line pilots association.
Public Interest
The walkout decision defies
the White House. The Presi
dent had said a stoppage
would be contrary to the pub
lic interest and strike a hard
blow at the national economy.
Secretary of Labor Arthur
J. Goldberg met during the
morning with airline repre
sentatives. But no one was
present from the flight engi
neers. A labor department spokes
man had no comment when
informed of the strike deci
sion. '' -
The union said Friday that
it was willing to have an ar
bitrator decide the economic
issues but it stuck by its re
fusal to submit to arbitration
the question of crew makeup
on jetliners. This is the key
issue in the 22-month-old dis
pute. Pan American and Eastern
turned down this approach
Friday night.
Union officials then held I
a scries of meetings and tele
phone conferences Saturday
which culminated in the strike
announcement.
