Crew of Navy Plane Insist They Were
Over International Waters When Hit
Eight Portuguese Jets
Crash in Thick Fog
LISBON, Portugal, Itf) — Eight
jet planes crashed today enroute
to a military air show at Coim
bra. They encountered thick fog
and apparently hit a mountain,
killing all eight pilots.
The eight planes were part of
a squadron of 12 which took Off
from Ota air base for the show
at Coimbra.
They were under command of
Capt. Rangel de Lima, known as
“Lucky Lima.” He landed safely
and reported the squadron flew
into thick fog and the eight crash
ed jets had apparently smashed
into a mountain.
Lima said the 12 planes were
near Coimbra when the fog closed
down. They were flying in three
formations, one above the other.
He was in the top group.
The captain said he heard a
tremendous crash and saw flames
shoot up from a spot immediately
beneath his aircraft. He signalled
his three followers to return to
base. His radio calls to the eight
planes below were unanswered.
Las Vegas Nighteries To
Impose $2 Cover Charge
LAS VEGAS, Nev., W — The
big name shows at Las Vegas re
sort hotels aren’t going to be
available any longer for the price
of a soft drink.
Effective Saturday night there
will be a $2 minimum for shows
in the casino dining rooms, under
an agreement by seven of the
eight members of the Resort
Hotels Assn. The lone holdout is
the Thunderbird Hotel. Two other
large hotels not members of the
association have agreed to estab
lish the $2 minimums, a spokes
man said.
Low receipts at second shows
were given as the reason for
setting the minimums. One hotel
reported last week that it had a
$600 gross for one second show
with 900 customers in the house.
Soft drink buying teen agers
often crowd into the casinos to
see their favorite entertainers at
the second shows.
Only a tailor is satisfied with
an increase in rents.
> ANCHORAGE, Wl —The Navy
Neptune shot down by Russ at
tackers over the Bering Sea last
week was over international
waters and two Russ Migs took
part, crew members vigorously
insisted.
First interviews allowed with
the seven painfully burned and
wounded fliers Wednesday bore
out, with colorful detail, the terse
State Department description of
the international incident of a
week ago.
Ensign David G. Assard, Terry -
ville, Conn., navigator who chart
ed the plane’s course on its rout
ine mission, put it:
“I know damned well we
weren’t within Russian bounds
when we were fired upon.”
The seven men, talking from
wheelchairs and their beds at the
Air Force Base Hospital here gave
high praise at Richard H. Fischer,
Pittsburgh, Pa., and Aviation Ma
chinist Mate Thaddeus Maziarz,
Oakland, Calif.
Maziarz, who fed fuel to the
one good engine from leaking and
burning gas tanks to bring the
crippled ship in for the crash
landing, had little to say.
The New York Times quoted
“authoritative sources” as saying
United States air patrols in the
Bering Sea have been suspended
temporarily.
In a Washington dispatch the
newspaper said the action was
taken by Lt. Gen. Joseph H. At
kinson, commander of the Alaska
theatre, apparently because il)
officials were trying to fathom
Russian motives in shooting down
the plane and <21 also studying
possible measures for protecting
slow-flying planes in the future.
Rear Adm. K. Craig, command
ant of the Alaska Sea Frontier
with headuarters at Kodiak, said
“Bering Sea flights have been
temporarily suspended during an
investigation.” He had no other
comment.
At Washington, however, a De
fense Department spokesman said
“the statement that these flights
have been halted is untrue.”

Four Marine
Airmen Lost
In Pacific
TOKYO, U!) — Two faint radio
signals flickering out of the Pa
cific fog sparked new hope in the
concentrated hunt for four lost
Marine airmen, in its fifth day.
A feeble International Aircraft
Distress Signal was heard at 5:40
a.m. in response to a rescue
plane’s call, the Air Force said.
A weak voice signal was heard
about 11 hours later. An Air
Force spokesman said it “wasn’t
audible enough to make out.”
Mystery and confusion arose
over who might be sending the
signals, heard intermittently since
I Monday.
Previous emergency transmitter
signals were attributed to either
Capt. H. P. Montague, Jackson,
Mich., or Lt. David Winton Bell,
Minneapolis, whose disappear
ance Sunday night in their Marine
Sky night jet touched off the
search.
The third missing Marine air
man, Fury jet pilot Lt. Lian M.
McAneny Jr., of Yonkers, N.Y.,
disappeared Tuesday night while
helping search for Montague and
Bell.
The fourth missing Marine was
a crew member of a helicopter
which crashed in the ocean on
the hunt Thursday.
Body of One Missing
Marine Jet Pilot Is
Found In The Pacific
TOKYO, Lfl—The body of one
of four missing U,S. Marine fliers
was found today in the wreckage
of a jet plane on Oshima Island
65 miles south of Tokyo.
The Marine Corps tentatively
identified the body as that of Lt.
Alan M. McAneny, Yonkers, N.Y.
Searchers positively identified
the wreckage as the FJ-2 Fury
jet flown by McAneny and which
disappeared Tuesday in the
search for two other Marine fliers
who vanished in a fog Sunday
night.
As good weather continued thru
the last three days of the vast
search, officers said they could
not explain the absence of results.
; Destroyers and planes wove an
I endless pattern over the sea.
“All we know is that the search
must go on as long as there is
any hope, and there is certainly
hope,” an Air Force spokesman
said.
