Ill-Fated C-46
Has Series of
Three Accidents
ANCHORAGE, Sept. 24—The
“sequence of three” ran its full
course on a West Air C-46 trans
port plane this morning when its
right landing gear collapsed soon
after landing at International
Airport.
A mechanic on the plane, Bry
an Green, was hospitalized with
a broken ankle, received when
he jumped from the damaged
aircraft.
The plane had been flown from
Fairbanks by pilot Richard Crow
for repairs resulting from two
other mishaps.
The C-46 ran uncontrolled down
the runway two weeks ago at
Kotzebue, striking the plane
which had just landed the West
German ambassador, and ending
up in Kotzebue Sound.
With temporary repairs made,
the plane was flown to Fairbanks
where the right landing gear col
lapsed on landing, damaging the
wing and propeller.
“Sequence of three” is an old
airman’s superstition that all ac
cidents happen in series of three
before coming to an end.

U.N. Appeal Ends
New Flareup of
Israeli, Jordan
JERUSALEM, Itfl—An uneasy
calm hung over the Israeli-Jordan
border today after a brief new
flareup of gunfire yesterday in
this divided city.
A U. N. cease-fire appeal brought
the short blaze of automatic
weapons to an end last night with
no casualties reported. It came
less than 24 hours after a bloody
Israeli strike into Jordan set off
intensive talks among the Arab
leaders.
U.N. truce observers reported
that both Israeli and Jordanian
forces immediately obeyed their
call to halt last night’s exchange
in Jerusalem. But Jordan author
ities hinted that large-scale Arab
counteraction might be in the
making unless the U.N. Security
' Council moves to stop such raids.
The Israeli attack at Husan, six
miles southwest of Jerusalem and
2Vfe miles inside Jordan’s border,
was officially described by Isra
eli authorities as a warning
against Arab “aggression” which
the Israelis said had killed 36 of
their people in the last six months.

Popular Santa Village Near L.A.

his annual trips to the' territory
to obtain live deer for Santa’s
Village, is back again for 15 more

this year’s selection from the
Unalakleet herd.

from Los Angeles near Lake Ar
rowhead and about 60 miles from
Disneyland and is becoming one
of the most popular places in that
area for tourists as well as resi
dents of California as it is situ
ated in the mountains in a very
scenic surrounding.
In addition to deer, Carothers
is looking for deer harnesses or
craftsmen here who have made
these harnesses.

deer from Unalakleet to Fair

B-52 Grounding Order
To End as Each Plane
Passes Rigid Examination
WASHINGTON, The na
tion’s B-52 heavy bombers may
take to the air again a$ rapidly
as each plane passes a “rigid in
spection of the internal systems.”
The Air Force imposed that
condition Wednesday as it lifted
a blanket order which had
grounded all the big qet planes
grounded all the big jet planes
were ordered grounded as a pre
cautionary measure after one of
them crashed Sept. 17 near Ma
dera, Calif., killing five crew
members.
Air officials said some time
may be required to complete the
required inspections.
Meantime, investigation of the
fatal crash is continuing. The Air
Force said “further analysis of
the results will fie necessary be
fore a final conclusion can be
reached” as to the cause of the
crash.
Subscribe to the Nome Nucael
in especially prepared vans for
their 4,000-mile drive to Santa
land where they will join 22 other
deer.
Santa land has become so popu
lar, stated Carothers, that a
northern location is being added
next spring near San Francisco.
Each location provides such
things as a North Pole, Santa’s
workshop, Silver Slipper Lake
and waterwheel, reindeer, lambs,
baby goats, ponies, swans, ducks,
Santa’s post office, giant toad
stools, wishing well, and addi
tional fascinating fairyland sur
