GENERAL ELECTION
TUESDAY. OCTOBER 12. 1954
Let’s Look At The Record
Republicans Claim- Employment Security—“Increased maximum
benefits and allowances.”
THE FACTS: The Republican controlled 1953 Legislature (31 R,
9 D) abolished the former Employment Security Commission
and substituted an entirely new setup. The result was disas
trous, for the fund which was $7,926,000 in fiscal year 1952-53
is now reduced to slightly over $3,000,000. When it hits $2,500,
000, which is expected soon, benefits are automatically reduced
from $35 to $25 per week, and number of weeks from 26 to 16.
Republicans Claim- Take credit for the “Fair Employment Prac
tices Act.”
THE FACTS: H. B. 8, “An Act for providing for the elimination
of certain practices of discrimination because of race, color,
religion or national origin,” was authored and introduced by
Wendell Kay, Anchorage Democrat.

Pilot Prevents Flaming
Jet From Crashing
In Downtown Chicago
CHICAGO, UP)—An Air Force
pilot, whose F-86-D jet caught
fire 24,000 feet over Chicago on
Wednesday night, prevented the
flaming plane from crashing in
the metropolitan area by guiding
it to^the open countryside.
The pilot, 1st Lt. Edward F.
Schroeder, 25, of St. Louis, para
chuted to safety on a farm about
10 miles west of O’Hare Field,
on the city’s northwest side. He
suffered minor bruises.
Schroeder, attached to the 42nd
Fighter Interceptor Squadron at
O’Hare Field, said his plane burst
into flames after an explosion.
Another flier with whom Schroe
der had been staging a mock dog
fight followed him and radioed
directions for a ground crew that
picked him up.
13 £)ie in Crash of
Air Force B-50 on
Routine Mission
WILLOWS, Calif., (#)—'The bod
ies o‘f 13 men killed in the crash
of an Air Force B-50 weather
reconnaissance plane have been
recovered, Sheriff Lyle Sale an
nounced Thursday.
Three crewmen parachuted to
safety just before the big plane
crashed near here Wednesday
night, and a fourth was thrown
clear.
The big plane, on a routine
mission from its base at Biggs Air
Force Base in El Paso, Tex., dived
out of murky skies and hit the
earth with a shattering roar at
7:12 p.m. A huge ball o'f fire
burst into the skies, visible for
miles.
The Air Force gave no hint as
to the possible cause of the crash.
Fire trucks raced to the scene
from nearby communities, battl
ing their way through a traffic
jam caused by hundreds of curi
ous who heard the explosion and
saw the flames.
Wreckage was scattered over
two to' three acres. Only the tail
assembly remained in one piece.
The crash set fire to a grain
storage bin on the ranch of J F.
Ryan, but a rain which started
shortly afterward quenched the
flames.
New Polio Cases
At 1,951 Last Week
WASHINGTON, New polio
cases totaled 1,951 last week, the
lowest in seven weeks, the Public
Health Service reported Thursday.
However, continued high inci
dence as compared with last year
pushed this year’s total cases to
28,294 and sent it ahead of the
corresponding 1953 period for the
first time since last spring.
Grand Jury Indicts
Owen Lattimore
On Perjury Charge
WASHINGTON, UP)—A former
State Department consultant,
Owen Lattimore, was indicted
yesterday on charges of falsely
denying he had been a follower
of the Communist Party line and
what was termed a promoter o’f
Communist interests. The new
two-count indictment was re
turned by a federal grand jury.
In effect, the new indictment
substitutes for parts of an earlier
indictment which had been
thrown out by the courts.
One of the dismissed counts—
the key one—alleged Lattimore
falsely denied before the Senate
Internal Security Subcommittee
that he had been a Communist
sympathizer or promoter of Red
causes.
The courts held the word “sym
pathizer” was too vague. The new
indictment nowhere uses the word
“sympathizer.”
The new allegation is that Lat
timore, in the indictment’s words,
“knowingly and intentionally fol
lowed the Communist line in pub
lic and private statements, both
in the United States and other
parts of the world.”
The indictment further charges
that his statements, conversations,
correspondence and writing “con
tain several hundred instances
denoting that the defendant was
a ‘follower of the Communist
line.’ ”
Lattimore has denied the accu
sations repeatedly over the past
four years.
