water off an oil well rig seven
miles south of Port Aransas, Tex.

Alfred Noyes, British
Writer Dies-at Age of 77
ISLE OF WIGHT, W — Al
fred Noyes, a robust British
writer who made a living on
poetry, died in a hospital Sat
urday. He was 77.
Probably his best known poem
was “Hew in Lilac Time.” An
other, “The Highwayman,” was
made into a movie.
Six feet, 200 pounds, clean
shaven and short-haired, Noyes
was a far cry from the popular
conception of a poet. But his
poems immediately became pop
ular here and in the United
States. Many of them were set
to music.
He made 15 trips to the United
States and lectured in more than
1,000 U. S. communities. He
was professor of Modern Eng
lish Literature at Princeton Uni
versity from 1913 to 1923.

Investigate Crash
of KC-135 Tanker
WESTOVER AIR FORCE
BASE, Mass., (ff) — Top-level in
vestigating teams from the Air
Force, the Civil Aeronautics Ad
ministration and the aviation in
dustry Saturday sifted the wreck
age of a huge jet Stratotanker
to determine what caused a crash
that took the lives of 15 men.
The big tanker, one of four
KC-135’s scheduled to streak to
England to break trans-Atlantic
round trip records early Friday,
crashed and exploded seconds
after takeoff. Two similar planes
that took off before her broke
the West to East record. A fourth
poised on the runway, did not
take off because of the tragedy.
The plane snapped high
tension wires 70 feet above the
ground and plummeted to earth
in the after-midnight darkness.
Its cargo of highly volatile fuel—
estimated the equivalent of three
and-a-half railroad tank cars—
exploded into an inferno.
Instantly killed were six news
men, seven crewmen, and two
observers from the National Aero
nautics Assn. The dead included
Brig. Gen. Donald W. Saunders of
Athens, N. Y., airborne comman
der in charge of the operation.
The Civil Aeronautics Admin
istration and Civil Aeronautics
Board were given permission to
investigate the crash. Direct par
ticipation by the agencies in the
investigation of a military plane
crash is unusual.
An Air Force statement gave
this reason:
“The action will permit both
the CAA and CAB immediate
access to vital information which
could have marked effect upon
increased safety measures in
forthcoming large scale commer
cial airliners by American manu
facturers to airlines is expected
late this year. Among these
planes will be the Boeing 707
airliner, similar in general de
sign to the three million dollar
KC-135 tanker that crashed.
