system there.”
Jones said, however, that if the
air lines flying routes within Alas
ka do not propose a coordinated
pattern by merger, the CAB will
take steps to "smooth out the
route situation in the Territory.”
Jones, a Republican member of
the board, is en route to Juneau,
Anchorage and Fairbanks to meet
with representatives of intra
Alaska scheduled air carriers.
Aviation leaders have heard ru
more for weeks that the CAB
plans to insist on consolidation of
certain Alaskan carriers to elim
inate weak links in the Territory’s
air-route pattern.
"The board realizes that avia
tion in Alaska is in a different
category than aviation in the
United States,” Jones explained.
“Up there, it’s the primary means
of communication and travel.
"Too, commercial aviation has
defense and Territorial-develop
ment implications,” the CAB offi
cial said.
Jones explained that over the
years a system of conflicting
routes and regulations has grown
up around intra-Alaskan carriers.
At present, several of the smaller
Alaskan air lines are in precari
ous financial positions, Jones said.
The CAB official plans to find
out during his Alaska visit if car
riers there are entitled to more
mail pay. Mail pay for all of the
intra-Alaskan carriers at present
totals about 51,500,000 a year.
‘‘It will take the CAB years to
straighten out the Alaska situa
tion,” Jones declared. “But we
know development of aviation in
Alaska is important, and we’re go
ing to devote the time necessary to
the project.
Jones said, incidentally, that the
long-awaited examiner’s report on
the extra service to Alaska case is
expected to be made public this
month. Several lines are seeking
route extensions into Seattle and
other Pacific Coast and middle
west cities.

The sheriff’s office field party
radioed three bodies had been
taken from the plane that burned
on a McDonald Island levee on the
San Joaquim River in the delta
nine miles west of here.
State highway patrolman Bill
Alott said four bodies weer taken
from the plane that crashed six
feet deep into the mud on a tract
two miles north and across the
San Joaquin.
The wings of this plane were in
tact, but the tail assembly had
collapsed.
• A radio from the field party at
this plane ordered all spectotors
cleared from the area because of
! high octane gasoline fumes.
Hamilton field, 25 miles north
i of San Francisco, said the plane
that burned was from the 326th
squadron. The other was from the
325th. Both were part of the 92nd
bombardment group at Spokane,
Wash., air force base.
First definite word of the crash,
in a fog. came from one of the
survivors. Lt. Sharrock. The lieu
tenant staggered into Edward
Kenyons King Island fishing re
sort bleeding for a head injury.
“The other plane ran smack into
: us,” he gasped.
The Kenyons heard the crash.
They were out looking for the
flames in the fog when Sharrock
| arrived.
Soon afterward the San Joaquin
shoriff’s office reported finding
tw’o enlisted men alive. One was
Pvt. Burns, the other was T/Sgt.
Schmidt.
Sgt. Kluge, of Spokane, said he
parachuted from the ship later
found stuck in the mud. He too,
reached a King Island fishing re
sort.
• Highway patrolmen and sher
i iff's deputies from four counties
circled for nearly three hours
across the fields and streams of
the Delta country before they
found the wreckage (if both
planes.
The still burning craft from the
326th squadron was sighted first.
The last four of its serial num
bers—6364—were he only marks
of identification.
But from this the Spokane air
I base was able to determine it was
one of 13 which started out at 3
p.m. Wednesday on a round-robin
flight <no landings and return to

Judith Coplon
Must Stand Trial
For Treason
NEW YORK f/P)—Federal Judge
Sylvester J. Ryan ruled today that
Judith Coplon must stand trial
with Russian engineer Vanentine
Gubitchev on spy conspiracy
charges.
Ryan denied a motion by the
ex-government girl’s lawyer, Arch
ibald Palmer, to hold that the
trial would put his client in double
jeopardy—that is. put her on trial
twice for the same offense.
Miss Coplon already ftas Deen
convicted in Washington on a sim
ilar charge involving the theft of
official secrets for passing on to
the Russians.
The judge directed that she and
Gubitchev must go on trial to
gether next Tuesday.
And ’he sober-faced Gubitchev,
who had refused up to now to en
ter any defense, changed his mind
and decided to have a lawyer rep
resent him.
Speaking in Russian, through
1 an interpreter, Gubitchev said he
hadn’t thought there were “good
reasons to start a trial” and had
considered the case “merely a pro
vocation.”
“I think,” he told Ryan, “it
might be better for me to prepare
my defense and take counsel ”
