Noted Aviatrix Killed
In Crash When Plane
Runs Out of Fuel
LONG BEACH, Calif., MWTen
more gallons of fuel might have
saved Dianna Bixby, noted avia
trix whose broken body was flown
back here from Mexico by her
grieving husband.
“If she’d have had any kind of
break at all—if she’d had 10 more
gallons of gas—she would have
made it,” said Lt. E. Y. Childers,
copilot of a San Diego Coast
Guard plane which located the
wreckage of Mrs. Bixby’s plane.
Robert Bixby, 40, her husband,
couldn’t say anything to reporters
when he arrived Monday night.
Petite Mrs. Bixby, 32 and five
feet two, perished in the sea which
also claimed the life of her idol,
Amelia Earhart, who was lost in
the Pacific on a world flight near
ly 18 years ago.
Mrs. Bixby’s freight cargo plane
—a converted A20 bomber,—
crash-landed Sunday 150 yards
offshore in the Golf of California
near Loreto, Mexico.
Son of Bing Crosby Wins
Dismissal of Drunk Charge
LOS ANGELES, MWEleven
hours after he had won dismissal
of a drunk charge, Dennis Crosby,
20, a twin son of crooner Bing
Crosby, left here for Fort Ord and
Army induction.
“I’ll just serve my two years
nad hope they forget who my dad
is,” Dennis said Monday night.
Dennis originally was scheduled
for induction Dec. 15 but received
a regular Christmas layover. His
twin brother, Phillip, is attending
Washington State College with an
educational deferment.
Dennis was acquitted of drunk
enness Monday by Municipal
Judge Robert Clifton, who noted
that “the boy has never been in
trouble before.”
Dennis was arrested in an auto
driven by a friend, Howard N.
Gilmore, 21, of Palo Alto, Calif.,
who was nabbed Sunday on a
drunk driving charge.
There are 15 known meteorite
crates on the earth’s surface, says
the National Georgaphic Society.
