(UP) Seventeen persons were carried to sudden death early today in an Eastern Airlines Constellation that crashed and exploded almost in the back yards of residences bor dering Municipal Airport here. All aboard the Miami to New Marines Open Hew Platoon PORTLAND The local Marine Corps recruiting office today an nounced plans for formation of the 5th Oregon Beaver Platoon to en list In Portland on January 11, 1958. The four predecessors to this pla toon have been tremendous suc cesses. The reason behind the suc cess of the idea lies in the fact that hometown buddies thus get to go through their Initial training as an identifiable unit. This gives the men an easier psychological ad justment to their new life. The platoon will consist of ap proximately 75 men to be enlisted from Oregon, Southern Washington and Northern California. The men 'may enlist for a period of either three or four years. Applications for the platoon are now being taken by the local Unit ed States Marine Corps recruiter located at, the Klamath County Court House in Klamath Palls. Ap plications have to be made early so It is suggested that interested young men between the ages of 17 and 29 should make further In quiries now.

York plane, 12 passengers and five crew members, were killed and charred beyond recognition bv gasoline-fed flames that seared the 199-yard bulldozing path of the stricken aircraft. There was also body on the plane, identified as that of C. D. jnriu. an eastern Airlines ac counting employe. It was being snipped to Washington for burial. Passengers were en route to Wash ington, New York and Boston. None aboard the plane was from the Far West. The plane was coming into the Jacksonville airport for a routine instrument landing. Cause of the crash was unexplained. John Ingle, local manager, said that one of many rumors and re ports that "undoubtedly will be checked" came from an uniden tified airlines pilot who said the sound of jet planes was heard in the vicinity just before the crash. The Jacksonville control tower said it had no contact with any other planes at the time. The four-engine plane was on air coach service and an airlines official in Miami said this just happened to be a slack pie-Christmas week for northbound flights. Any other week the plane probab ly would have carried up to 60 passengers. The airliner crashed In a wood ed area, clipped off treeiops at the 25-foot level, then bored 68 yards through the trees and hit the ground. The hurtling wreckage plowed 26 yards and clipped off an oak tree, .skidded another 65 yards where the tail was sheared off and plowed on for an additional 15 yards where the main part of the fuselage came to a halt. f, ft- l.M mflirr-- West Staies Reach Accord On Reciprocity Truck Rule CARTER FRANKLIN Franklin Gets DeMolay Post LAKE VIEW Carter Franklin, a Lakevlew High School senior and son of Dr. and Mrs. Benjamin Franklin, will be installed as mas ter councilor of the Bernard Daly Chapter of DeMolay at a public Installation on December 21 at the IOOF Hall.

A reciprocity agreement over, the Interstate travel of trucks was I reached between 10 of the 11 Wcs'.-j trn slates at a recent meeting ln Denver, Colorado, of the Council i of State Go.ernments of these j states. I E. A. Geary, speaker of the Orc- Son House of Representatives, and a delegate to the meeting, gave a repcrt on this agreement Tues day In the chamber of commerce offices to Klamath County Cham ber of Commerce officials and members of Uie Klamath County Court. The pro-rating of all truck lees between the slates, based on an nual use (such as license fees) Is provided in the agreement. This pro-rnting would be on the basis of mileage traveled by trucks in the separate states. Commercial firms, or individuals, with three or more trucks In oper ation, would be rpquired to regis ter the number of trucks in each state comparable to the number of miles which they travel in the separate states. That portion of their license fees would be paid, on the basis of mileage, to the various slates In which they oper ate. The plan Is, in effect, merely a sharing of their license lees be tween the states according to the use of their roads. This agreement will go Into ef fect when the authorized signing officers of each of the 10 states signs with all the other states. It was not reported which one of the 11 Western states declined to ac cept tbe plan. nils sharing of fixed license fees in no way atfects the weighl-mlle tax structure (such as Oregon has) of the various states. These weight mile taxes, and other similar tonnage-mile taxes, used by the states will still be In effect, Geary said. In further explaining the fixed license fee plan it was announced that in reporting their mileage in each state any fraction of one half or over would be considered as one truck. It also Is expected after the plan does go Into effect that each state will issue a certificate to the trucker showing that he has filed his mileage In each state. This will preclude the designation of any one truck of a fleet as the only one that can be used In that par ticuiar state. Geary said that this and similar agreements on trucks that the 11 Western stales have made in the past emphasizes the cooperative spirit that guides these stales. He pointed out that some Eastern states have been at loggerheads over their interestate truck travel with unnecessary problems thus raised for the truckers as a result The Oregon legislator also said NOW AT THE 97 SUPPER CLUB!

This agreement would standardise the truck high way use plans' of all the Westei states. A central clearing office for col lection and disbursement of the highway taxes for all the states concerned also would be set up under this plan, Oeary said. I The council of State Govern ments also studied reciprocity plans for mental and penal Institu tions and for school exchanges among their many other discussions at the Denver meeting, Geary said.

For this strapping sweep of car is a Btiick Spkual solid Buick through and through, and sedan-big for six adults. Yet the dollar difference between this beauty and the well known smaller cars can be sifted down to a pocketful of pennies. (Actually, this Buick costs less than some models of those very same cars as the price we show here proves.) But the difference in brawn and breadth and fun and thrill that's the clincher for the move to Buick . . . Because here, folks find, is so much more sheer automobile for the money big-car power, big-car ride, big-car performance and big-car room at a small-car price. It comes from new, record-high power from a big new 322-cubic-inch V8 engine, the same basic engine that powers the cotIier Buicks. It comes from a new Buick ride backboned by Buick heft, sinewed by stout steel, leveled by all-coil springing, cushioned by triple-oil-volume shock absorbers. It comes from a new and advanced Variable Pitch Dynaflowf 2 door, 6-passonger Buick Spccial Sedan, Model 48, illustrated. Any stole and local taxes, additional.
