PLACITAS, KM. tUPIS The
Air Force C4? "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

down safely, lt took three hours
to get trucks and ambulances up
46 mites of switchback roads to
reach the wreckage.
Many of the bodies were burned

Navy Launches Polaris
Submarine On Saturday
GROTON, Conn. (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

It is heartening to learn after
so many months even years
- of corresponding, telephoning
and visiting with officials from
the California Highway Depart
ment's district office in Redding
to the Chief m the Bureau of Pus-
he Heads in Washington, B.C.,
that them is filially hope for
changing the directional signs at
the intersection of U.S. Highways
9? and i at Weed,
At the time the chamber pro
duced its IS-minute television film
on Klamath County entitled
'Wish Yea Were Here." the signs
indicated Mcaford via U.S.
and Klamath Fails via U.S. W,
Some time later the U S. 99 sign
was chanced to read "Portland.'
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
