Investigators Try
To Solve Mystery
In East River Crash
NEW YORK, UPi — Investigators
Thursday pinned hopes on two
surviving crew members for an
answer to why a big new airliner
crashed near LaGuardia Airport,
killing 65 of the 73 aboard.
But both the crewmen, the co
pilot and the flight engineer, lie
critically injured and cannot be
questioned. The pilot was killed.
One 'big question to be answered
was wnether the lack of a radio
•beam for altitude guidance of the
plane had any bearing on the
crash.
The American Airlines craft,
coming in from the northeast
through an overcast after a non
stop flight from Chicago, had the
aid of a radio beam which lined
its approach with the runway
designated for the landing.
An altitude beam — which tells
planes whether they are approach
ing too high or too low — is in
use on the same runway for those
landing from the southwest.
The altitude beam has been in
use for the southwest approach
because it is over a populated
area. The northeast approach is
over the East River.
The copilot, Frank S. Hlavacek,
33, suffered a broken jaw, pelvis
and breaks of both legs, as well
as internal injuries.
The flight engineer, Warren E.
Cook, 36, received numerous in
juries which were not listed in
detail by the hosital.
Numerous investigators are in
specting portions of the wrecked
plane for answers to many ques
tions raised by the crash.
Some of the questions:
Was there a mechanical failure
in the airliner, one of six sleek,
four-engine giant Electras put into
service by American just 11 days
before? The pilot gave no indi
cation of trouble.
Did the pilot, Capt. Albert H.
DeWitt, 59, a veteran of 30 years
and seven million miles with
American, come in too low? Was
it a possible failure of altimeter
instruments? De Witt was killed
in the crash.
Was De Witt’s age a factor? He
was due to be retired next May
when he would have reached 60.
But he had passed his physical
with flying colors.
Was he the victim of a sensory
illusion often experienced by pi
lots coming over water in the
dark, causing them to think they
are higher than they are?

Norwegians Patrol
Coast To Hold Off
Russian Fishermen
BERGEN, Norway, UP) — A
giant Russian fishing fleet of
about 300 ships began operating
today just outside the fishery
boundary on Norway’s west coast.
Several Norwegian warships be
gan patrolling the boundary line,
four miles from the Norwegian
coast to scare off any Soviet tres
passers.
A Norwegian ship first reported
by radio that the Russians were
operating two or three miles in
side the fishing limit and the
Western Naval Command dis
patched warships to the area.
Rear Adm. Erling G. Hostvedt
said the Russians were operating
with purse nets up to two miles
long, and as they followed the
giant herring schools might drift
across the boundary.
“If they are discovered by our
ships, the Russians cut their nets
and run,” the admiral said.
Two years ago a big fleet of
Russian fishing vessels invaded
Norwegian territorial waters off
Aalesund on the west coast. Nor
wegian naval vessels captured a
large number of them, and the
captured Russians had to pay dam
ages and lost their catch.

CANDID CLAMOR . . .
TULSA, Okla., WP) — Because
the city needs revenue, officials
decided to swallow pride and hon
or an irate citizen’s checks.
The first one read, “Pay to the
order of the thieves of City Hall,
$13.50 for water from a bunch of
crooks.”
A second one for $9.75 was made
out to “The Crooks of City Hall,
for a few drops of water and over
charged sewer tax.”

Japan to Gun
Walrus Wrecking
Island Fishing
TOKYO, (#) — Japan’s fledgling
air force is holding up its first
operational attack — a war on
walruses.
The possibility of legal ramifi
cations brought a respite for the
lumbering mammals who beat the
Coast Guard in a battle last year.
After the nation’s lone Sabre
Jet combat wing was alerted to
take over the fight this year, the
attack orders were held up.
“The plan to machine-gun the
walruses is still under study,” a
spokesman for the Japan Fishery
Agency said. “Before we do any
thing we have to consider the
issue of compensation which would
arise if the area is proclaimed a
restricted fishing zone.”
He explained there was a pos
sibility some fishermen might de
mand compensation for being kept
out of the danger zone, even
though the purpose of the war is
to protect the fishermens’ equip
ment and the fish they seek.
The walrus stronghold is Wal
rus Rock — a tiny speck off Ja
pan’s northernmost island of Hok
kaido. Between September and
April swarms of the big beasts
congregate in "the area, wreaking
havoc with fishing equipment and
the fish.
The Coast Guard attempt to
wipe out the enemy last year
failed. “The walrus just shrugged
off shotgun pellets and they es
caped when the-boats approached
them,” an official explained.

El Capitan Conquered
This headline made a real at
traction last month, when a most
amazing and intrepid mountain
climbing expedition resulted in
victory. In a miraculous way,
three California mountain climb
ers scaled the 3,604-foot perpen
dicular cliff in Yosemite Park, the
lofty El Capitan. It took them a
year to make preparations for the
climb, and 13 days of actual climb
ing. At night they would hang on
the face of the cliff to sleep, and
during the final night they braved
the below-freezing temperatures
to inch their way up the 175 feet
remaining to victory.
What a lesson this should be to
all those who are heading for a
greater height than El Capitan.
We should not only make adequate
preparation for the trip, but also
make sure of reaching our goal
in safety. What a sure promise
we have in the Savior’s own
words ... “I go to prepare a place
for you. And ... I will come again
and receive you unto Myself; that
where I am ye may be also.” —
John, 14:2, 3).
