W4 MJ Herald-News Cameraman And Pilot Eat Smoke In Bucking Plane To Get Pics By WES CI'DERIAN aurr ( , nria ;w With Chet Sanson I flew over the. Sheep Well forest fire Sunday afternoon. It waa not an adventure unless you can call flirting with atr-slcknesa an adventure. It waa Just a routine news-picture assignment. The air seemed pretty smoky after we were well up over Klamath Falls and headed southeast. It worried me Just a little for aerial plcturea of forest fires are tough enough without a general smoke base. After we rounded a high ridge on the way to Mt. Hebron, the entire fir picture was laid be- Public Debt Zooms Above $255 Billion WASHINGTON. Aug. 22 iv The publlo debt, ruing as the govern ment overspends its Income, has climbed- above 8255 000 000.000 for the first time since February. 1948.

In rounded figures, government spending so far this fiscal year amount to 85.341.000.000. or about 8300.000.000 more than at this point last fiscal year. Well fire east of Mt. Hebron, taken by Staff Photographer Wes for us. We were headed straight for the middle of the fire. To the right in a big billow waa the cap of smoke that marked the main portion of the newly-aroused blaze. To the left was the already burnt over area where still-smoking tree snags could be seen leaving trails against the blackened ground like Jet-propelled airplanes. The burnt over section must have comprised about 1000 acres, though I'm not much of a Judge of area from the air. We eogld sea the flames against tbe smoke as we neared the main portion af the fire, bat I told Chet ta make a run by It before I waald tart taking pictures. I wanted la get a general idea af how tt look ed before wasting film. The pan gent odor af wood amok filled the cabin of the plane now, and then we were aver the homed ant portion. We could are the fire fighting eamp at the edge af the barn, with trucks moving about, kicking ap trails af dust. We made a wide turn In the mountain section southwest ot the camp and headed back for the tire. I tried kicking th door open to take pictures, but the air pressure waa too great and I finally gave up. It was a good thing the pleil-glass windows were clean for I had to Uke all the pictures through them. We had lost a little altitude In my attempt to open the door, so we had to turn again and try for height, Th fir was too big to get from a low altitude, and I was try ing to silhouette Ih smoke against the dark hills behind the fire. The wind had changed and w could no longer see the flames against the smoke, so I waa a little doubt ful about the outcome. The finish ed print might look Just like a grazy hate. After taking the distant shots, we dropped down lor a run down the fire line. It waa an Inter esting. If anphotographlr, exper ience. Flamea could be seen hooting akyward, and as we got nearer the hot spot the plan burked a little: aa Chet made ma fasten my safely belt. I tried tak ing a few close shot which were no good and then we headed for home. It took an hour and ten minutes to make the round trip over the fire as compared with the four hour Malcolm Epley Jr. and I had spent on a gn und trip Into the area Saturday night. And . . Oh. ye . I had not gotten alr-lck. lliMlk rIU m4 lrlMrf Wtt 4f ! TJr. Hlh tmmr U. ! MaiiM U. Utah W II. Mis 44 tllll M House Begins Wafer Control Bill Argument . BTHXTIX WASHINGTON.
