IKE BOOSTER ON THE WING
LONDON, {JP)—Police startled
by cries of “I like Ike” shrilling
through the trees around the
houses of Parliament Friday sent
out a search posse. They found
24-year-old Jean Thurgar trying
to coax her parrot Benji out of
a tree.
She said Benji escaped from
her nearby Baker Street flat a
week ago and has spent most of
his time flying around Parliament
since.
‘‘I taught him to say ‘I like
Ike’,” she added.

Wreckage Found of C-47
Lost Day After Christinas
TRAVIS AIR BASE, Calif., {&)
— Air Force experts began Mon
day the gruesome task of identify
ing the charred, mangled bodies
of eight men found in the wreck
age of a twin-engine transport
which crashed the day after
Christmas on volcanic Mount Las'
sen.
A 20-man party brought the
bodies down from the 8,000 foot
level Sunday, two days after the
wreckage was spotted by tourists.
It had been covered by deep snow
more than five months.
“The bodies were literally pried
out in layers,” said city editor
Wallace Myers of the Klamath
Falls, Ore., Herald-News. “There
wasn’t a complete body left. The
wreck literally telescoped the fu
selage.”
The C-47 transport, carrying an
Air Force crew of three and five
miltary passengers, crashed in a
snowstorm while on a flight from
Spokane to Travis Air Force Base
near Vallejo, Calif.

UMBA SHIPiV?
TRICKHAM, Texas, </P) — A
sourdough from Alaska who came
back to Texas to drill a wildcat
oil test near his birthplace here
said Friday he’d hit a producer.
Charles Shields of Anchorage
said both an electric survey and
a drill stem test show his wildcat
will make at least 500 barrels a
day.
The wildcat is located at least
20 miles from any other produc
tion in the middle of a 503-acre
lease which Shields and eight An
chorage associates hold a quarter
mile north of this west Texas
community.
The electric survey, called a
Schulumberger log, tells the oil
porosity in sand.
Shields, 57, left his Trickham
home to become an oil field work
er when he was 15. For years he
worked all over the United States.
Then 26 years ago he headed for
the Klondike and became a placer
miner.
Through the years, he recalled
that the geological formations
near his birthplace were similar
to those in the oil fields he had
worked. He and his associates
raised the money for the current
venture.
