"Gooney Bird," dove down through a light over cast toward the rounded humps of the Sandia Mountains, its engines sputtering. Cowboys Rick Bennet and Paul Davis, working on the Diamond Tail Ranch, looked up and saw one wing drop away from the plane. Then anothr piece fell, and the plane disappeared behind a ridge. George Koch, 19, who was at his falher's mountain resort club, saw the same thing, from the top of the ridge. He started running. The C47 sheared at an angle in to a mesa and exploded. Eight servicemen and one servicewoman aboard were killed instantly. When Koch reached the scene 10 minutes later Friday, the wreckage was burning furiously and he could be of no help. The plane had left Andrews AFB at Washington, D. C, for March AFB, Riverside, Calif., with a crew of four and some military "hitchhikers." The pilot was Lt. Col. Ray M. Griffith of Ft. Belvoir. Va. The Sandias, which are 6.500 feet high west of the village of Placitas and rise to the 10.688-foot crest which overlooks Albuquer que, provided no place to set down safely, lt took three hours to get trucks and ambulances up 46 mites of switchback roads to reach the wreckage.

(UPI The Navy was half way to its goal of 41 Polaris missile-firing sub marines Saturday with the launching of the Daniel Webster in the Thames River. Webster, the 20th Polaris boat to get into the water, was christ ened by Mrs. W. Osborn Good rich Jr. of Farmington, Conn. She is a great - great . grand daughter of the famous American statesman for whom the nuclear submarine was named. The 425-foot, 7,000-ton sub went; down the launching ways at the electric boat shipyards of Gen eral Dynamics Corp., her prow dripping with champagne from the christening bottle wielded by Mrs. Goodrich. The ceremonies, brightened by the clear skies and pageantry, were in direct contrast to the gloom which shrouded this ship yard early this month when it was learned that the Thresher had disappeared in the Atlantic with 129 men aboard. Dr. James If. Wakeiind, as sistant secretary of the Navy for research and development, de clared Daniel Webster, "will be a proud ship, not only because of the great responsibility of its mission, but also because it will carry the name of a man whose tireless defense of the principles of our constitution will BELL'S HARDWARE raaiascdJi loliitestone iure APRIL 29 TO MAY 11 WIDE SELECTION OF BEAUTIFUL PAT TERNS IN STURDY EVERYDAY EARTH ENWARE BY THE MOST FAMOUS NAME IN DINNERWARE FRANCISCAN! 24 piece beginner Set for Eight Includes: 8 Dinners, 8 Cups, 8 Saucers An excellent buffet service' Ciou4 Hm S595 0c Sfecti Vofii 25.20 Plus 20 ALL OPEN in the Mills School Aud.forium.

There probably has not been a week go by since that changeover that someone hasn't stopped In the chamber office or telephoned to urge teat something be done about those signs at W.ssi!" When nothing had yet been ac complished at the start of last summer's heavy World's Fair traf- fie, -the chamber entered into contract wtth a sign company: for a lighted highway bulletin at the south city limits of Weed, pointing out the fart that U.S. S? provides fast, scenic travel to Portland and Seattie. If now in addition, regulation highway signs at the intersection indicate to the motorist that he has choice of routes to take as be! travels through Oregon, traffic on U.S. 97 shosild be closer to what might be considered its normal share. Who gets the credit for getting the job done is of little or no; consequence, so far as the cham ber is concerned. Obviously many other voices have been joined with the chamber's in protesting Former Local Resident Dies Walter L. Bennett, 55, former resident of Klamath Falls for 30 years, died Saturday morning in the Santa Fe hospital in Los An geles. He had been ill since Feb. 1, While in Klamath Falls he bad been employed by the OC&E ratt- roaa, ana alter moving to Sas Barnardmo he worked for the Santa Fe.
