Navy Bomber
Limps Across
Pacific on 1 Engine
HONOLULU, L?)—A Navy Nep
tune patrol bomber limped 1,100
miles on one engine Monday and
landed safely at Hilo after a
seven-hour struggle to stay aloft.
The big two-engined plane, out
of Whidbey Island, Wash., and on
a flight from Alameda, Calif., to
Barbers Point Naval Air Station
here with 10 men aboard, reported
it had lost an engine as it passed
the halfway point of no return
on the 2,400-mile flight.
The pilot, Lt. J. G. Braden R.
Brjggs, found one engine too weak
to keep his craft steady at 1,000
feet, so he used his auxiliary jets
to boost himself up. But his plane
kept losing altitude and his jet
fuel ran out. By the time he was
still 400 miles out he was cruis
ing at 250 feet, riding the cushion
of air above the water.
A naval spokesman said the last
40 miles was at the 100-foot level.
He landed at Hilo on the big is
land of Rawaih as three rescue
! planes escorted him in.

Editors Outline Need for
Personal Understanding in
Foreign News Coverage
SEATTLE, (JPi Editors called
today for “people to people” news
reporting to help spread mutual
understanding around the world.
Telling the problems and hopes
of foreign peoples will do more,
they said, than “government to
government” reporting emphasiz
ing only policy decisions of major
powers.
The need for such reporting was
outlined to the Associated Press
Managing Editors Association here
by a committee headed by Robert
C. Notson of the Portland Oregon
ian, which studied foreign news
developments in the past year.
“This committee is acutely
aware that we live in a shriveling
world, and an integrated one.”
Notson’s report said. It added that
today’s newspaper readers “want
to know what other people are
thinking. They want to know what
kind of persons are dealing with
us.” ,
Some 250 editors and guests at
tended the opening of the four
day convention of news execu
tives. t

Firemen Fight New
California Blazes
In Dry Timber
J
SAN FRANCISCO, l» — Smoke
hung over Northern California
mountains today 'as firemen
fought new flames in forests near
Ukiah and Willits, about 100 miles
north of San Francisco.
Every able-bodied man in Ukiah
turned out Monday to save the
city of 15,000. Women and chil
dren used garden hoses and buck
ets to wet roofs as wind-swept
embers cascaded down from flam
ing forests just beyond city limits.
A ranger said fires near Ukiah
I had been set by children and
hunters.
In Southern California, 500 men
ringed the Decker Canyon blaze
near Lake Elsinore after it
claimed 2 lives, injured 27 and
burned 1,600 acres.
For five weeks blazes in tinder
dry California forests and brush
land have kept firemen on the
run. The state got less rain and
| snow than usual last winter and
I heavy rains are not due for
months.
Near Yuba City, 100 miles
northeast of San Francisco, sher
iff’s deputies reported 17 fires in
an hour within a four-mile radius. '
All were extinguished quickly
and officers said they appeared to
be the work of juveniles.
Frank Weatherford, a Ukiah for
est ranger, said the Cow Moun
tain fires apparently were set by
children and hunters.
“They waited until we rolled
every thing we had up on the fire
at Spanish Mountain and then
they started the other,” he con
tinued.
Seaton Asked to Settle
Alaska Rail Wage Dispute
WASHINGTON, UPi — Senator
Bob Bartlett Monday called- upon
Interior Secretary Fred Seaton to
..take steps aimed at settling a
wage dispute between the Alaska
Railroad and its operating em
ployes.
The railroad, operated by the
Interior Department, usually is
guided by wage rates ,paid by the
Northern Pacific Railway plus a
differential to account for the
higher cost of living in Alaska.
A standby agreement was signed
by the Alaska Railroad in 1956
but disagreement later arose pver
the differential.
Bartlett suggested to Seaton that
advisory services of the National
Mediation Board be utilized in
settling the dispute.
American Language
Constantly Enriched hy
Shortcut Definitives
CHICAGO — Even Noah Web
! ster might be “bugged” today if
he ran across a traxle. . . . And
what could he possibly say to a
hoopster?
Americans seem to manufac
ture words like these for every
gadget or social trend they pro
duce. For the benefit of the man
or woman who doesn’t read dic
tionaries, the World Book Ency
clopedia has compiled a list of
some of the words and phrases
that entered our language in 1958.
“Traxle,” for example, is an
automobile design in which the
transmission is in the rear instead
of against the engine.
“Hoopster” is a person, uually
a child or his weight-worried
mother, who uses a hula hoop.
Economists have brought clar
ity and imagination to the mys
terious workings of supply and
demand with the phrase “bot
coming out,” which means reach
ing the lowest point in a recession.
The modern girl’s hair may look
like a mop, but that doesn’t worry
her — she doesn’t knew what a
mop looks like.
