can crewman, A1 Cockrell of
Pittsfield, Mass., is reported miss
ing and feared dead.
The plane left San Juan a few
minutes after midnight and two
minutes later radioed back re
questing permission to make an
emergency landing. Then nothing
more was heard from it. Officials
said apparently it had trouble
gaining altitude because of an ad
verse wind.
The plane, en route to Newark,
N .J., via Miami, was operated by
Strato Freight, Inc., a charter
service with headquarters at
Bradley Field, near Win d s o r
Locks, Conn.
The plane sank within six min
utes and the pilot, captain Lee
Wakefield, said he believed one
half or more of the passengers and
five crewmen went down with it.
Twenty-six of the survivors
swam to small islands and reefcs,
and crews of rescue craft braved
death in the churning and treach
erous seas to pick them off and
carry them to the mainland.
Two were plucked from the wa

l
Spring is truly in the air. mixed
with life, activity, and softballs.
. . . Assuming you are wondering
| how softballs ever got into radio,
I’ll now proceed to explain. . . .
WXLN is sponsoring a softball
team this year, known formally as
“WXLN BROADCASTERS” . . .

able to broadcast some of these
games but we can't promise now.
... Next week we’ll introduce you
to the whole team.
I’d like to introduce you right
now to two fellows you’ve been
hearing a lot lately. Pfc. Bob
Forbes; your morning announcer
and Pfc. Jack Conerly; your eve
ning announcer. . . . Bob is the
man that takes you through “THE
MUSICAL CLOCK.” “THE REC
ORD SHOP.” “TURNT ABLE
TIME,” and “AROUND THE
WORLD IN HISTORY,” . . .
known from here to no-one knows
where as “THE VOICE OF THE
FROZEN NORTH.” Jack is the
man you place at your pleasure
on “HILLBILLY HIT PARADE”
and ‘YOU ASKED FOR IT” . .

VOICE OF THE MID-NITE SUN”
. . . Both boys are doing their best
to make your listening hours
really a pleasure. . . . Incidental
ly, Bob is from Kalamazoo. Mich.,

TER HOURS STUFF” . . . Any
thing can happen and, no doubt
will. . . .
We haven’t received any new
records this week, so we should
have a nice big batch to go over
'Atomic Plant
Developing New
“Deadly” Poison
w
WASHINGTON, </P> — A new
product more lethal than deadly
poison is being handled at the
new plutonium plant at Hanford,
Wash., a high atomic official said
yesterday before a Senate appro
priations sub-committee.
But the official, Carleton Shugg,
deputy manager of the atomic en
ergy commission, discounted any
link with a new atomic weapon.
Shugg told the Senators that the
highly secret plant at Hanford is
handling a product that needs a
better name than “deadly poison.”
Later, he was quoted by an AEC
official as saying he did not mean
to hint at a new weapon. He said
he was merely discussing certain
phases in the production of plu
tonium—one of two fissionable
materials used in making atomic
bombs. The other is uranium-235.
The haste with which Shugg
dropped the subject after bringing
it up led to speculation that the
“product” he mentioned might be
connected with reports of a weird
new “atomic fog” development or
some other secret weapons.
In his appearance before the
sub-committee. Shugg specifically
mentioned the high secret new fa
cility at Hanford, which started
out as a $6,250,000 project and
now will cost an estimated $24,
000,000 to $25,000,000.
The new facility, Shugg ex
plained, is the “capstone” neces
sary to complete the $750,000.00^
Hanford operation.
William Meals of the Unem
ployment Compensation commis
sion, who has been here on a sur
vey concerning an office in Nom
for the Second Division, stated
before leaving today that he will
recommend the office to the Com
mission for further consideration.
next week. ... So till then, this
is me, signing off as per usual . . .
SPINCERELY YOURS. |
