DC-6B Wreckage
Sifted for Clues
To Cause of Crash
LONGMONT, Colo. Uf)—A bomb
expert, FBI agents and other gov
ernment investigators sifted the
wreckage of a United Air Lines
i plane Thursday to determine if
possible sabotage was involved in
the crash which killed 44 persons.
At the scene of the disaster,
which occurred near here Tuesday
night was Charles Wilson, an ex
plosives expert of the Wisconsin
State Crime Laboratory, whom
United hired to head its probe.
Wilson arrived in Denver early
Thursday and left immediately for
the site where debris of the DC-6B
was scattered over three square
miles of beet fields and pasture.
Focal point of the investigation
was what caused the plane to
shatter in flight 11 minutes after
it took off from Denver for Port
land, Ore., on a leg of its New
York to Seattle flight.
W. A. Patterson, United presi
dent, said “all evidence now
strongly indicates this accident
resulted from an explosion in the
air.”

53 Small Whales
Beached in Florida
By 14-Foot Leader
MELBOURNE, Florida, UB-—'The
beach 11 miles south of Melbourne
was no place to go swimming to
day. It was littered with 53 small
whales weighing from 100 pounds
to about a ton.
The mammals, known as pilot
whales or blackfish, came ashore
Wednesday. One of the calves was
placed back in the water four
times but refused to stay there.
The leader of the school appar
ently was a 14-foot bull.
Pilot whales usually travel in
schools and follow the largest
male, even when he leads them
ashore. They are known to mi
grate from Greenland and the
[ Norwegian coast to the Cape of
Good Hope and are believed to go
ashore because they dislike warm
water.
