j Crashing Transport Pilot
Veered Off To Avoid
Japanese Town of 30,000
ASHIYA AIR BASE, Japan, UP*
— The American pilot whose
crippled transport plane crashed
into a U. S. Air Force barracks
Wednesday had banked the wrong
way to avoid a Japanese town of
30,000 people.
The pilot and six other Amer
ican servicemen died in the crash.
Another airman was reported
missing, and 13 were injured.
The pilot who spared the nearby
town of Ashiyamachi was the
only fatality among the eight men
aboard the giant turboprop C-130.
The other seven escaped with
slight injuries.
The other casualties were men
in the barracks.
The two-story, E-shaped bar
racks, housing 225 men but al
most deserted at mealtime, was
leveled.
The 2V&-million-dollar trans
port, coming in from Iwo Jima
with one of its four turboprop
engines dead, apparently ap
proached too far down the run
way and was rising for another
try when it went out of control.
“The pilot in the usual flight
pattern would have turned to the
right when attempting to make
another landing,” said an opera
tions officer, but this pilot turned
left.
“He did it to avoid Ashiya
machi.”

Head-on Crash Kills Five
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., UPt—
A contractor and five student
nurses were killed Wednesday
night in the crash of a pickup truck

wrong lane.
The student nurses were all
from St. Mark’s Hospital, San
Francisco,
Highway Patrolmen said War- .
ren P. Hamilton, 43, operator of
the Hamilton Construction Co., Los

The pickup slammed head on
into the auto and all occupants
of both vehicles were killed in
stantly, the patrolmen reported.
Said the little doughnut to the
pompous layer cake, “If I had
your dough I wouldn’t be hanging
around this hole!”
