Two Injured In
Jump From
Burning B-29
WILBUR, Wash. i/Th—Two crew
members who parachuted from a
burning B-29 bomber yesterday
before it landed in a whe^t field
•were nursing injuries today.
Uninjured were three others
who jumped and the pilot and co
pilot who set the crippled plane
down safely on a rolling farm two
miles south of here.
Col. Albert J. Shower, com
manding officer of Spokane army
airfield, where the big bomber
was based, said the ship was en
route home on a training flight
from Warner Robins field, Geor
gia, when a motor started burning.
Maj. D. H. Keller, Los Angeles,
pilot, and Maj. E. W. Arnold,
Seattle, co-pilot, told crew mem
bers to jump as rain and darkness
closed in on the faltering plane.
After the crew had parachuted
into rough cattle . territory, the
plane swooped low over Wilbur
with its motor smoking and landed
as the engine burst into flame. The
ship’s underside was dented and
propellors were smashed, but a
witness said the pilot an co-pilot
“were not even shaken up.”

Furniture Prices
Will Advance
NEW YORK, {A3) — Many bed
i room and dining room furniture
j manufacturers are expected to
; raise prices 5 to 8 per cent between
' now and the opening of the Janu
ary furniture markets.
Trade sources said an advance
was “inevitable” but it was
thought increases would be on an
individual rather than an overall
basis.
Retailers said some manufactur
ers who increased their prices six
months ago plan to boost them
again on Dec. 1, while others who
have held their price lines in the
face of rising material and labor
costs plan increases effective about
the same time.
