Navy Privateer
Plane Crashes Into
Private Plane
ANCHORAGE, (/P)—Elmer Ras
mussen of Homer was flying quiet
ly along, not very high, looking
for a windsock at Merrill field
when the world turned inside out.
It felt, said Rasmussen, like an
explosion—no, like two explo
sions.
The first was when the 27-foot
high tail of a navy Privateer
bomber hit the wing of Rasmus
sen’s small plane. The second was
when the slip-stream of the navy
craft hit Rasmussen as the big
plane roared on by. Five feet of
the left wing of the small aircraft
was crushed but the pilot landed
safely.
Lt. Cmdr. J. F. Litsey said he
was bringing the Privateer in for
a landing and did not’ notice Ras
mussen’s craft until he was jjpon
it. He dived beneath the little plane
and would have cleared it but for
his plane’s high tail section.
Mrs. Dick Tobias of Homes was
a passenger in the light plane. No
one was hurt.
; TI'll Ilia II Not To
Campaign In Dixie
WASHINGTON, (/P)—President
Truman has abandoned plans for
a lengthy southern campaign tour,
friends said, as the Dixie revolt
against his civil rights program
mounted.
While Mr. Truman will make
some appearances in the south,
they said, strategic speaking spots
either will be selected on a brief,
single-trip basis or added to other
general schedules.
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey mean
while disclosed plans for eight ma
| jor talks on his transcontinental
1 tour, following close on the heels
of Mr. Truman’s westward swing.
Dewey’s opener is in Des Moines,
Iowa, Sept. 20. Like the President,
he is scheduled to speak in San
Francisco and Los Angeles.
He will continue on to Oregon
and Washington before heading
back east.

Moore, surgeon at Mount Edge

Ration Gasoline
In California
SAN FRANCISCO (/P)—The CIO
oil refinery workers strike against
six major California producers
is in its second week with no set
tlement in sight.
An oil industry allocation com
mittee announced after a meeting
in Los Angeles that motorists
would ge‘ three-fourths of their
normal supply of gasoline. As the
pinch began to be felt, this state
assumed a new role and began to
import gasoline from Oklahoma.
Negotiations continued in an ef
fort to end the strike of 16,000
workers. The strike started Sep
tember 4 and has threatened to
dry up gasoline stocks in the five
western states, mainly dependent
on California production.
