No Parachute
For Stowaway
* On Doomed C-97
SEATTLE, Iffi— A stowaway who
may never have known the plane
was in trouble—and for whom
there was no parachute if he had
known rode a giant disabled
plane to his death Thursday after
10 regular crew members had par
achuted to safety.
The victim of the unexplained
tragedy was Roger Rondeau, 24,
a pre-flight mechanic for the Boe
ing Airplane Co. He was killed
when a four-engine KC-97 plowed
into logged off land 70 miles
southwest of here and 40 miles
from where its crew had aban
doned it over the Fort Lewis mil
itary reservation.
The big plane was on a test
flight before being turned over to
the Air Force as a military air
freighter. A few minutes after
leaving Boeing Field here, one of
the plane’s engines exploded.
The pieces knocked away a
large section of the tail surface,
making the craft virtually unman
ageable. Capt. Charles Cresswell
said no one knew Rondeau was
aboard and “I don’t know what
we would have done if we had
known about him then. Every
authorized crew member and pas
senger has to have a parachute.
Rondeau’s ^mutilated body was
found in the lower tail section.

Reds Says They’ll
Free More POWs
PANMUNJOM, UR — The Com
munists said Thursday they would
free more disabled Allied prison
ers—a startling reversal of their
earlier insistence on releasing only
605.
They did not say how many
more, nor their nationalities. But
they did pledge to return all sick
and wounded Allied troops in
North Korean stockades as well
as those captured recently.
The unexpected move apparent
ly stalled a possible U. N. pro
test that the Reds were holding
back some disabled captives.
Allied prisoners exchanged in
four days have said many more
seriously sick and wounded were
left behind in North Korea.
Gen. Mark Clark, U.N. com
mander, said he was gratified that
the Communists, “in reponse to’
repeated requests frbm the U.N.
command, have agreed to return
. . . all U.N. personnel in this
category.”

No matter the size or type of truck you need—what better proof
could there be that a Chevrolet truck is your best buy!
Recently published official registration
figures for the last full year show that truck
users in every single State bought more
Chevrolets than any other make!
It is difficult to imagine more convincing
proof of Chevrolet’s superiority, for such
clear-cut and overwhelming preference can
lead to but one conclusion:
Chevrolet trucks must be better, must
enjoy solid advantages over other trucks.
Such preference must rest on a firm foun
dation of good, sound value. And, of
course, it does—as owners of Chevrolet
trucks can testify.
So before you buy any truck, see'how
much more Chevrolet trucks offer you.
Stop in and see US SOOn. Continuation of
standard equipment and trim illustrated is depend
ent on availability of tnaterial.
