“All 22 of the servicemen aboard
took basic training together at
Camp Breckenbridge, Ky.,” Wor
muth. “When we left Chicago we
had to turn back for motor repairs.
I think then we all had a feeling
something was going to happen.”
The plane rammed against Cedar
Mountain after the pilot, Capt. A.
J. Lerette Jr., Miami, Fla., radioed |
Boeing Field control tower at I
Seattle that one engine had tailed
and the wings were icing.
SIGHT WRECKAGE
Wreckage of the downed plane
was sighted 10 miles from herd
shortly after noon yesterday by a
Washington State Aeronautics
search plane.
Nine survivors were brought out
last night in seven trucks which
had .been driven to within a quarter
of a mile of the wreckage after a
bulldozer plowed through a five-foot
snow blanket over a logging road
to clear a path for the trucks.
Earlier, 10 persons were flown
out by helicopter before darkness
halted airlife operations.
The bodies of the six dead, in
cluding Lerette and his co-pilot,
W. E. Harshman. also of Miami,
were brought out early today. The
other four dead were identified os
Anthony Gianci, Dumnorel Pa.,
James Kountz, Bloomsburg, Pa.,
Steve Kocko, Archbald, Pa., and
Con Groski, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
Most of the survivors were taken
to Madlgan Army Hospital near
Tacoma, Wash, -r ■
PRAISES PILOT
The heroism of the dead pilot
was praised by chief aviation pilot.
Russ Granger, one of the hellcopter
operators.
“Tile pilot knew he was in trouble
and was settling down as slow and
easy as he could,” Granger said.
“It was good flying that saved
those people’s lives—at the cost of
his and his co-pilot’s life.”
One of the surviors was the
stewardess, Mrs. Adra Bebe Long
of Miami, Fla. She and Odell
Matthews, 21-year-old Negro soldier
from Washington, D. C. walked
away from the wreckage through
five feet of snow and were evacuat
ed by helicopter.
Mrs. Long drew cheers when She
arrived here and tried to walk a
way from the helicopter unassisted.
One of her feet was bare and she
had borrowed a soldier’s shoe for
the other foot. She burst into tears
and had to be helped from the
rescue craft.

last week. As a "concession” they
p oposed that reluctant prisoners
be handed over to a neutral state
where they could be "gradually
freed” of any fear about returning
home.
Clark’s proposals, in the form
of a letter, would be addressed to
this request. The decision to nom
inate Switzerland was said to have
been made head off a Com
munist move to name Russia or a
Red satellite.
The Allies also were said to be
opposed to an* Splan that would
permit Commlnfct Interrogators
alone to re-screen prisoners who
want to remain this side of the
Iron Curtain.
Their concern is that the Reds
might try their well-known third
degree or brainwashing methods to
break down the will of reluctant
POWS. •

side road.
“That road cuts back southwest
in through another main supply
route,” he said.
In all, some 68 trucks bearing
probably at least half the 605 Al
lied prisoners to be returned were
in the three convoys.
All three convoys were headed
for the Communist truce base at
I Kaesong, near here, where the pris
oners win be held until the ex
change begins Monday.
SITDOWN STRIKE
U. N. authorities at their base
at nearby Munsan viewed the sit
down strike of returning Chinese
prisoners as a sign of more trouble.
The rebellion began after the
landing ship reached Pusan and
24 patients had come ashore in
litters or afoot. The remaining 745
refused to leave the deck volun
tarily.
The strike surprised U. N. offi
cials directing the operation. They
considered the prisoners die-hard
Reds who wanted to return to
Communist control. Otherwise they
would have asked to remain in
camp until they could be taken-to
a neutral nation in accordance
with an agreement reached by the
two Hostile sides.
Tt» U. N. asked- the Communists
, to' disclose the nationalities of the/
first 100 sick and wounded Allied
prisoners.to.be. delivered: here Mon
day in the first day of the_ ex
change.
Red staff officers said during a
liaison meeting, however, that they
could not answer this request im
mediately. Instead; they said they
might be able to give out the in
formation earlier than the 24-hour
notice required under the exchange
'-.ules.
Now that the prisoners were
heading for the exchange site from
both directions, there were indi
cations full-scale armistice talks
might be opened before the Swap
is completed.

the state, only 14 other counties
pay their judges as much as $3,600
a year and most of them pay much
less. Many of the counties pay
their judges less than SI,OOO a
year and some pay even less.
The job requires a half day’s
work on Monday and another half
day on Thursday, although some
time* lengthy dockets require ad
ditional time. Trial of Jury'cases
is expected to require still more

The two Dunn court officials
based their .request for a pay in
crease on the fact that officials
of the Harnett county court re
ceived more money than they did.
> "They ought; to bo paid for what
they do, not on what somebody
else gets, and they ought to con
sider the ability of the town to
keep raising their salary,” one city
official said,

Daid and if they weren’t satls
i fled with the salary they ought
not to have run,” he added.
This will be the third raise for
Judge Strickland.

l the position that if the officials
thought they were entitled to a

case instead of taking their re

> WANTS TO HEAR FROM PEOPLE
Rep. Gregory made it plain to
day that he’s got insisting on pas
sage of his bill awl said he would
withdraw the bill or have it killed
if enough protests are received.
He said it would be at letiist ten
days before the bill comes up for
action and’ that citizens will have
plenty of time to act.
Mayor Hanna pointed out today
that he did not send a telegram
because there’s still plenty of time
and that he wanted the matter to
come before the council.
A group of Dunn lawyers told
Rep. Gregory they approved pas
sage ol the bill.
“I want to do what the people
of Duhn and Averasboro want done
about it,” said Mr. Gregory, "and
if the people will indicate to me
that they oppose the raise, the bill
will be killed.”

NEW JUDGES
A House Judiciary Committee
gave the green light to a bill to
realign North Carolina's superior
court districts, adding eight dis
tricts, and 11 new. superior court
judges. The measure, which has al
ready cleared the Senate, is op
posed by the governor, who said It
would give too many judges too few
terms of court.
The House Education Committee
planned to vote today on a plan for
a state school consolidation policy
formula. The measure would pro
hibit the SUte Board of Educa
tion from consolidating high schools
with an average dally attendance
of 'SO or more. The board could
close a school with less than 46 pu
pils, and might close high school
with between 48 and 60 unless the
County Board of Education shows
that funds are available lh the lo
cal school district to supplement
state funds to maintain the school

The money from the school bond
issue, if finally approved by the
legislature and the people, would be
used primarily to equalise white

be distributed hus:

During my service on the
board, I have endeavored to

fought consistently for effi

ernment.
During my first two terms, m
I helped briqg about a re
duction in taxes. During piy
present tefm on last July
28—I voted for a tax cut, but
was outvoted.
I believe that Dunn’s tax
rate is excessive. It is one of
the highest in the State. I
favor greater exercise of eco
nomy and a Power tax rate. *
I will continue to strive for
both.
Briefly, I standi for a more
conservative town -govern
