ALBANY, Ca., The flaming

stricken couple as they fled its
path Wednesday.

the pilot when he and his wife
panicked as the plane hurtled
toward their car parked at Turner
Air Force Base.
Mrs. Frances B. Mitchell, the
wife, died in a hospital early yes
terday, more than 12 hours later.
The couple’s 11-year-oid? son
Jimmy escaped injury. He broke
from his parents and ran in the
opposite direction: He was found
later huddled under a building
suffering from fright and shock.
The pilot, 1st Lt. Donald F. •

Mount Palomar
PALOMAR MOUNTAIN, Calif.
<#)—A fiery bomber crashed in
fog about a quarter mile from the
; 200-inch world’s biggest telescope
and has left three Air Force offi

The six-engine B-47 Stratojet
plowed into this 6,00-foot peak
Wednesday while returning to

Flames shot 100 feet high and
live ammunition went off, an ob

Flying debris nicked the dome
of a smaller telescope, the 48

of boulders 30 feet from the ob
