25 Drowned When
Siberian Boat Overturns
MOSCOW, (ff) — Izvestia Satur
day published a letter reporting
the drowning of 25 persons—all
but two them children—when a
homemade boat overturned dur
ing a young Communist League
excursion on a river near Omsk,
Siberia.
The letter from a resident of
the city of Muromtsevo said
nine children and an accordian
player survived the June 27 ac
cident. He blamed the teacher in
charge of the excursion for
operating the homemade boat
without testing or official in
spection.
The writer said the teacher, V.
Popov, and a nurse died with the
children.
> CAIRO, UP) — “On Russia’s
strategic air bases you feel you
are face-to-face with World War
III . . . the' atmosphere is terri
fying. Ope can smell war all
around.”
This description of a visit to a
Soviet air base was published
Saturday in his newspaper A1
Ahram by Egyptian editor Mo
hamed Hassenein Heikal. He
accompanied President Nasser on
his secret flight to Moscow to
see Premier Khrushchev.
Before their return flight to
the United Arab Republic, the
Egyptians were shown one of the
Soviet air bases “which had been
alerted and was ready for action”
following U.S. landings in Leba
non.
Wrote Heikal: “I cannot name
the base and for security rea
sons cannot describe it in de
tail. But what I saw and heard
made me feel I was face-to-face
with World War III.
“On one airfield I counted more
than 1,000 planes—all strategic
bombers that could carry the
mightiest bombs and deliver them
anywhere in the world. On one
road hoards were on the move—
tanks, cannon armored troop
carriers—an endless stream of
might.”
“The atmosphere there was
perched on the mountaintops
around. It seemed as though
death was perched on the moun
taintops waiting for its chance to
reduce our world to darkness
and ashes,” Heikal wrote.
Heikal did not speculate wheth
er the display of military might
he said he saw was arranged
just to impress Nasser.

Capt. Kincheloe,
First Space Pilot,
Killed In Crash
EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE,
Calif., (ft— Plans for the first Air
Force flight into outer space
went ahead today despite the
death in a jet crash of Capt. Iven
Kincheloe Jr.—who had been
chosen to make the initial at
tempt.
The Air Force disclosed the
name of the pilot previously
selected as Kincheloe’s replace
ment.
He is Capt. Robert M. White,
a New Yorker who at 34 is a
16-year Air Force veteran.
White is an engineering graduate
of New York University and
eight-time winner of the Air
Medal.
He becomes part of the three
man team assigned to the secrecy
shrouded X-15 rocket plane that
has been described by the secre
tary of the Air Force as “the
first step toward a manned
satellite.”
Kincheloe had dreamed of be
ing one of the first space pioneers
to blast up into the mysterious
void beyond the earth’s atmos
phere.
“I definitely want to be part
of orbital flying,” the quiet
spoken Korean War jet ace once
told a reporter.
Kincheloe already had flown to
an American altitude record of
126,000 feet in the needle-nosed
X2—forerunner of the X15.
Then, last Saturday he was
killed when he ejected himself
from his crashing F104 jet fighter.
Cause of the crash has not
been pinpointed. An investiga
tion board said apparently Kin
cheloes’ jet had an engine fail
ure, or flameout, shortly after
taking off from this base in the
Mojave Desert.
