Pilot Killed
In Jet Crash
TUCUMCARI, N. M. (AP)-An
Air Force weather reconnaissance
plane spun in from two miles
high late yesterday and scattered
wreckage over a two-mile area
A spokesman from Laughlin
Air Force Base, Del Rio, Tex.,
where the plane was based, said
police misinterpreted orders and
this led to a cloak of secrecy be
ing thrown over the crash.
The pilot was Capt. Alfred V.
Chapin Jr., 28, San Angelo, Tex.
The Laughlin spokesman said
the U2 jet was on a routine weath
er reconnaissance flight when it
crashed. He said it carried clas
sified instruments, but there was
nothing specially secret about it
The spokesman said police were
asked to aid the pilot if he were
still alive, and if not, to "secure
the area." meaning not to touch
the wreckage.
However, the military immedi
atcly cordoned off roads leading
to the crash site and spectators
were kept five miles from the
wreckage on orders from the 2nd
Air Command at Shreveport, La.
Laughlin said the pilot was
found dead in the cockpit.
The single-engine jet crashed 18
miles south and 14 miles west of
here in the Caprock Country
a high bluff rising from the plains.
The U2 cruises at 55,000 feet

fallout from radioactive explo
sions, the Air Force said.
Only 24 hours earlier, another
U2 crashed about 110 miles cast
of here near Amarillo, Tex., kill

Population
Up In County
, Klamath County has had a popu
lation increase of 16 per cent since
1950, according to figures sent by
the county court yesterday to the
State Board of Census in Portland,
The board must decide to certify
the figures before the gain can be
officially recognized by the state.
Population figures are the basis lor
certain allotments of monies
from the state to counties, such as
highway funds.
The figures sent in claim a coun
ty population of 50.562 on July 1,
1958, This' compares with 48.052
locally estimated on July 1, 19.i7,
and 42.150 on July 1, 19M, per
an actual census.
R. Frank Tucker, commerce
chamber manager, who helped
supply employment, school and
other data on which the figures
are based, said Klamath Falls city
population was 20.681 on July 1.
This compares with local estimates
of 19,400 for last year and 15,875
(actual census) for 1950.
The gain for the city since 1950,
using these figures, is 23 per cent.
Public school enrollments in all
of Klamath County have risen an
estimated 3.2 per cent from the
1956-57 to 11157-58 school year, the
figures sent to Portland show.
Data used in support of the esti
mates shows a gain of 526 jobs here
since July 1, 1957. These have
come from construction of A i r
Force housing now under way, 350
jobs; air base contracts, 40 jobs;
Navy construction, l.i0 jobs; the
new Klamath Hardwoods. Inc.,
plant, 160 jobs; and Morrison -Knudsen
Klamath River dam con
struction, 50 jobs.
The job computation also lakes
into account that 224 jobs were
eliminated with completion of the
new Johns - Manville softboard
plant.
The state board's estimates of
Klamath population in the past
have tended to be lower than the
one submitted locally and this may
be true again this year. The board
has the final say on approving pop
ulation ligures lor olticial pur
poses. ,
