Four Fatal Plane
Crashes In States
Over Week-fend
(By The Associated Press*
Four fatal airplane crashes oc
curred over the week end, one an
airliner disaster that took a toll ot
50 dead and raised the number
killed in commercial plane crashes
since May 29 to 146—49 more than
died in domestic airline accidents
all last year.
Continuation of the air acci
dents prompted President Truman
yesterday to appoint a five-man
board to inquire into all phases of
air safety.
Last Friday, the 13th, a Capital
Airlines plane carrying 47 passen-1
gers and a crew of three crashed
into a granite mountainside near
Keys Gav, W. Va., killing all
aboard.
Just two weeks before a United !
Airlines plane crashed while at-!
tempting to takeoff at La Guard ia!
Field, in New York City, Killing
43. The following night 53 per
sons died in the crash of an East
ern Air Lines plane near Port De-1
posit, Md.
At least 12 persons died yester
day when an army B-29 bomber, J
on a training mission, struck the j
side of Hawk’s Mountain near |
Springfield, Vt. On leaving Tuc
son, Ariz., Saturday the plane car
ried 15, but army officials said
the passenger list was changed at
the Greater Pittsburgh area. The I
12 bodies found were so badly
burned as to make indentification
difficult.
In the other crashes this past
week end, Mr. and Mrs. William
R. Wolf, of Dayton, Ohio, died
when their private plane fell into
the Atlantic Ocean near Fort Lau
derdale, Fla., and Capt. William
H. Greenleaf, Connecticut air na
tional guard officer, died in the
crash of his P-47 fighter at Wind- j
son Locks, Conn.
Another major disaster was nar
rowly averted at Fort Knox, Ky.,
when an army C-47 transport
plane carrying 22 .crashed and
burned shortly after taking off at I
Godman field yesterday.
Staff Sgt. Curtis M. Green,
credited with calmly leading the
others to the escape rfatch, was the
only one injured seriously. He
suffered a dislocated hip and
burns on the arm add neck. Twen
ty others were treated for minor
injuries.
Wants to Eliminate
Slot Machines
ELLENSBURG, Wash. «P) —
Slot machines, says Adm. Luther
E. Gregory, are “a leech that has
grown up and become fastened to
the club, introducing ar\ element
of profit.”
Addressing the Washington as
sociation of prosecuting attorneys
Saturday, the chairman of the
state liquor board said he would
like to see the machines eliminat
ed except in “bona fide clubs.”
Leslie Carroll, Spokane prosecu
tor who was named association
president, told the association
gambling in legal clubs has suc
ceeded the “bottle club” as the
first problem of club operation.
