President “Misquoted”
In Report of Planned Veto
Submerged Lands Bill
WASHINGTON, — The
White House says a caller mis
quoted President Truman in tell
ing newsmen the President plan
a
ned to veto a pending bill giving
the states title to submerged
coastal lands. . . •
I. A. Smoot, a former Salt Lake
City postmaster, told reporters on
leaving the White House Monday
that Truman had informed him
the measure would be rejected.
Press Secretary Joseph Short
called newsmen together five
hours later and told them Smoot
had “misquoted the President.”
The Senate and House have
passed measures giving the states
title to the oil-rich coastal lands
but the bills are before a confer
ence committee to reconcile dif
ferences.
Truman vetoed a similar bill in
1946 and Congress failed to over
ride the veto.
Smoot, reported enroute to Salt
Lake City, was not reached for
comment.

$3 V2 Million B-36
Is Complete Loss
In Takeoff Crash
SPOKANE, (/?) — A giant, 10
engined B-36 bomber faltered and
fell on takeoff at Fairchild Air
Force Base early Tuesday, killing
15 of the 17 men aboard.
The huge craft, world’s largest
bomber, crashed through a fence
at the end of the runway and
burst into flames in a farmer’s
wheat field, leaving bits of wreck
age in its wake.
'Somehow two men survived.
They were very seriously burn
ed and suffering from shock.
They were unable to speak to in
vestigators.
The B-36 hit with terrific force
and pieces fell off as it bounced
along the ground. It stopped at
the edge of farmer Ernest Alf’s
wheat field and burned fiercely.
The B-36 with its huge swept
back wing was virtually a shell
in minutes.
“It was flat in a little while,”
Alf said.
Fairchild said it couldn’t con
firm Alf’s report that the B-36
blew up. Air Force officials said
they were unable to determine
the cause of the crash immediate
ly.
The B-36 carries 21,000 gallons
of gasoline and has a range of
10,000 miles with its four jet en
gines and six piston engines. It
costs million dollars.
The B-36 normally carried a
crew of 15 but this one had two
extra men aboard this morning.
