Tragedy in British
Airliner Crash
Takes 20 Lives
MANCHESTER, England (ff)—A
Viscount airliner, pride of Brit
ain’s commercial air fleet, dove
thru three houses and burst into
flames on landing here Thursday.
Twenty persons aboard per
ished, and a woman and child in
one of the houses were reported
missing.
A spokesman at Lancashire po
lice headquarters said the plane
“apparently overshot the runway
while coming in to land and hit
houses on a Council Estate (a sub
urban housing project). There
were people inside the houses ibut
we don’t know how many.”
A witness said the British Euro
pean Airways plane, flying in
from Amsterdam with a crew of
five and 15 passengers, seemed
very low in its approach to the
runway.
“One wing appeared to dip
sharply, striking the ground so
that it turned the aircraft over
and caused it to plow thru houses
on its back,” he said.
A BEA official said it was the
first Viscount to crash on a pas
senger flight. The ship is powered
by four turboprop engines.
Police threw a cordon around
the wreckage of the three houses
under which a woman and her
child were believed trapped.
'OLDTIMERS' SAY THEY HAVE
NEVER BEFORE SEEN SUCH
WEATHER FOR FEBRUARY
February’s weather was most
unusual, with few “normal” days.
Temperatures were almost without
exception either much above nor
mal, or much below. Perhaps the
most unusual period was from the
20th to 22nd, when above freezing
temperatures were coupled with
fair skies and light winds, a com
bination which many “old-timers”
say they had never seen before.

Senate Leaves Armory
Appropriations to Future
Budget Consideration
JUNEAU, (S)—The Territorial
Senate applied the knife Wednes
day to a bill which would have
appropriated $1,608,990 as a loan
for the construction of National
Guard and community center ar
mories in <10 Alaska cities.
The bill was sent to the House
on a 12-4 vote, but only after all
the money sections of the bill
were stricken.
As the measure now reads, it
authorizes an appropriation in the
territorial budget for the next bi
ennium, but just how much is left
unsaid, it won’t be known until
the budget bill is introduced.
Three - Month
Budget for Terr.
Set at $1,521,475.71
JUNEAU, UPl—The Territorial

three-month territorial budget of
$1,521,475.71.

departments get on the same fis
cal year basis, with the new bien
nium starting next July 1.
The Senate added $650 to the
proposed appropriation for the
Board of Cosmetology, and then
whacked $10,250 from other
budget proposals.
A proposed civil defense appro
priation was reduced from a
House-approved $11,200 to a new
figure of $7,400.
The Department of Helath lost
$3,000 from a House allotment of
$5,000 to pay for physical exam
inations of school children, a sum
of $650 for contingent expenses
in the Department of Labor was
stricken by the Senate, and $325
was taken away from a $625 ap
propriation for travel expenses in
the Labor Department.
The bill now goes back to the
House, where the change.-, are ex
pected to get quick approval.
ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVORSON
Spica is one of the beautiful
stars in the sky and is located by
continuing the curvature of the
Dipper handle through Arcfurus.
It is located in the constellation
called Virgo and is easily recog
nized by its brilliant while light.
The ancient people worshiped
the constellation of Virgo with its
beautiful white star representing
goodness and purity. Even to the
modern world, the springtime
glory of this star is refreshing.
We now gaze upon this star
with awe rather than reverence
for science tells us that it is not
only one white star but two. The
mass of each of these stars is
greater than that of our sun.
These two stars are 11,000,000
miles apart. They whirl around
their common center of gravity in
the short time of four days.
Spica rises an hour later than
Arcturus and travels in a low
curve in the south.

Sensational Stunt Kept
In ‘Interrupted Melody’
Following Marjorie Lawrence’s
real-life example, Eleanor Parker
rides a horse into a ruheral pyre
in M-G-M’s CinemaScope musical
drama, “Interrupted Melody.”
In a scene of the picture, in •
which Eleanor portrays Miss Law
rence, world-famed oprea star,
the heroine is supposed to mount
the horse during a performance of
“Gotterdammerung” and ride it
through the flames.
That’s exactly what Miss Law
d;d on t’-'e occasion of her
debut at the Metropolitan Opera
tiouse in New York. It was a feat
that attracted considerable atten
tion since previous singers had
been too timid to mount the horse
and merely led it to the edge of
the fire.
AH Names Answer to 1
Guard Pay Call j
Lpchook, Toga-yak, Avagalaris,
Calaktieooff, Kasayuli, Tomagan
uk and Rukovishnikoff are only
a few of the many unusual and
unfamiliar names on the payroll
of the 2d Scout Battalion, Alaska
National Guard, now at Fort Rich
ardson’s Camp Denali for their
annual encampment.
It’s the names like Wood, ack
son, Larson, McCann, McCall, ’''Til
ler/ Johnson and Smith that seem
out of place.
First Lieutenant Wallace J. Har
rison, acting battalion comma »1
er, explained: “Many of the na
tive had just one name but as the
missions made their wav to the
villages and towns, Eskimos were
given Christian names by the mis
sion workers. You can almost tell
the religion or denomination of
the village by the names the
peple were given.
“Then too, more than 60 years
ago trappers, traders, missionaries
and settlers gave families Chris
tian names or married into one
of the Eskimo families.
“Sometimes the names are hard
to pronounce,” Harrison added,
“but the men all answer ‘Here!’
at pay call.”
