have killed many unborn infants.

Atlas Will
Orbit Longer Than
First Predicted
WASHINGTON, UPt — Amer
ica’s Atlas satellite is expected
to stay in orbit more than twice
as long as the 20 days first pre
dicted.
But the radio voice which re
layed President Eisenhower’s re
corded message of peace and good
will to the world is expected to
die within the next 10 days.
The Defense Department now
says the 8,000-pound Atlas may
continue to orbit until about Feb
ruary 1.
The Smithsonian Astrophysical
Observatory at Cambridge, Mass.,
says most watchers in the United
States should be able to see the
Atlas during the next few days.
Smithsonian moonwatch teams
have estimated the Atlas has a
brightness ranging up to the
brightest star in the heavens, de

Alaska Coastal
Plane Crash Due
To Empty Tanks
WASHINGTON, UP) — A small
airliner that crashed on Chichagof
Island near Tenakee, last January
15, simply ran out of fuel, the
Civil Aeronautics Board said yes
terday.
The CAB blamed what it called
poor flight planning and poor
judgment on the part of the pilot,
Capt. Fred B. Sheldon, who was '
killed in the accident.
Two passengers were injured
seriously.
The board also found fault with
Alaska Coastal Airlines, operator
of the plane, and with the Civil
Aeronautics Administration safe
ty inspection program which it
labeled ineffective.
The airline, the CAB said,
showed “lack of adequate organi
zation and management” to make
sure that all flights were planned
and conducted with safety.
The airplane itself, a Lockheed
Bega seaplane, was being operated
with one fuel tank sealed shut and
out of operation because of a leak.
Flight records also showed that
the plane’s fuel consumption was
significantly higher than normal,
possibly because of the improper
setting of a throttle economizer
valve.
The board said the pilot did not
plan his flight to provide for an
adequate fuel reserve at all times.
When unfavorable weather forced
him to take a longer alternate
route on the flight from Juneau
and other towns to Tenakee and
return, the plane exhausted its
fuel and crashed.
The board said the airline has
taken corrective action.
3¥e sincerely hope that you
will hold the key to
much happiness and good
health in the New
Year ahead.
Cavota’s
a full measure of good luck, |
health and happiness for you and yours.
