Two Planes Crash
Near Washington
WASHINGTON, (/P)—An East
ern Air Lines passenger plane, in
bound from New York, collided
with a small military plane south
east of the national airport yes
terday and plunged into the Poto
mac River.
The extent of casualties was not
immediately known.
The civil aeronautics adminis
tration said the smaller plane was
a P-38 of the Bolivian air force.
The airliner was a DC-4. Planes
of this type can carry 30 or more
passengers.
Government officials said the
Bolivian government bought two
P-38 planes from the U. S. about
three or four weeks ago for the
Bolivian air force. One was sent
to Bolivia. The other has been kept
here pending routine clearance.
The two planes struck while in
the air. Those who saw the colli- j
sion said there was an explosion
on the airliner. They said there
was undoubtedly a heavy loss of
life.
WASHINGTON. </Pi — Aerial
collisions have caused the only fa
tal accidents on the airlines in the
past 14 months.
The last previous fatal crash
other than collisions was the fail
ure of a wing on a Northwest Air
lines plane near Winona, Minn.,
on Aug. 29. 1948. Thirty-seven
persons were killed.
WASHINGTON. </Pi — Cartoon
ist Helen Hokinson. noted for her
gentle spoofing of suburban club
women, drew her last sketch as a
contribution to the Washington
community chest drive.
A subtle dig at women red fea
ther workers, it showed a plump,
be-furred matron being introduced
to a young girl by the girl’s moth
er. The cutline read:
“So Mary’s working for thej
community chest, too. How brave!”
The New York magazine artist
was killed in yesterday’s air dis- |
aster while members of the local
women’s club and other Red Fea
ther campaigners were awaiting
her arrival for a speech.

Valley Dairymen
Market Products
In Anchorage
PALMER, (/P>—Five Matanusku
Valley dairymen have started
i marketing milk in Anchorage
i through a private company, Alas
i ka Dairy, Inc.
It is the first time dairymen
j here have used any but their own
| cooperative to tap the milk market
of the nearby city.
George Jackson of Alaska Dairy
said his company now is buying
2,000 pounds of milk daily in the
Valley. He estimated this repre
sents 30 per cent of the total
output, and said the company ex
pects to be handling 50 per cent by
February.
A spokesman for the dairymen
said they switched because it
meant a greater profit. One dairy
man said the change would mean
an increase of $4,000 in annual re
ceipts.
Milk now is retailing at 40 cerfts
a quart in Anchorage.
A spot in the Assam hills of In
dia is believed to have the heavi
est railfall on earth, totalling 50
or 60 feet a year.

At It Again
LOS ANGELES f/P>—Penmaker
Milton Reynolds is in the air in
quest of a new round-the-world
; flight record—this one via sched
uled airliners.
The Chicago manufactu r e r ,
, hobby is globe-girdling, took off
from Los Angeles at 11:15 p.m.
Monday night on a TWA Constel
lation bound for New York. He
1 was due in New York yesterday
I morning.
There he was to have a five
minute layover at LaGuardia Field
before hopping into a Pan Ameri
! can Clipper for Istanbul, Damas
cus, Karachi, Dewhi, Calcutta,
Bangkok, Hong Kong. Manila,
Guam, Midway, Honolulu and Los
Angeles.
He hopes to be back here by 10
p.m., Saturday after some four
days and 23 hours of globe circ
ling.
That’s a little slower than his
1947 global flight. Then he spon
sored the late Bill Odom’s record
breaking trip of 78 hours, 35 min
utes and 30 seconds in a reconvert
1 ed army bomber. Reynolds was
| navigator on that trip.
