REQUESTS MORE MARSHALS
FOR ALASKA
President Truman, in a mes
sage to the Senate last week,
asked for $100,000 for law en
forcement activities in Alaska.
“This estimate is the first step
toward an expanded law en
forcement program to cope with
current conditions in Alaska,”
the President declared.
The request was sent to the
upper house for inclusion in the
supplemental appropriation bill
for 1952 which is now under
consideration there, having been
passed in the House in August.
According to Delegate Bartlett,
action was taken by the Presi
dent following the return to
Washington of Roy II. Webb,
special representative of the De
partment of Justice, who made
an extensive law enforcement
study in Alaska recently, and
after Delegate Bartlett met with
the President two week? ago.
Increased population and ex
tensive military activities have
increased greatly the volume of
work to be performed by the
small staff presently on duty.
The request is for 25 additional
U.S. Deputy Marshals for the
Territory.
“It is my understanding,” the
Delegate declared, “that the De
partment of Justice contemplat
ed that the additional deputies
be added to the Anchorage and
Fairbanks area exclusively.”

STUNTING PLANE KILLS
20 IN COLORADO
Flagler. Colo.. (?) — A Civil
Aeronautics Board official says
CAA regulations obviously were
violated in an air show plane
crash which killed 20 persons.
Seventeen persons were in
jured. A stunt plane plunged in
to closely parked cars and spec
tators during the air show in this
small farming town Saturday.
Regional CAB Chief R. P.
Parshall, directing a probe to
day, said:
“It was obvious the pilot was
too close to the crowd.”
He described the crash as “the
worst tragedy involving a small
aircraft in this country's avia
tion history.”
The 20, including the pilot,
were killed or fatally injured as
a low wing monoplane stunt
craft crashed and scattered over
150 yards packed with rows of
parked cars and spectators at an*
air show highlighting the Flag
ler Fall Festival.
The wing of the plane snagged
on wheat stubble as the pilot,
First Lt. Norman L. Jones, a stu
dent at the Lowry Air Force
Base Photo School on temporary
duty from Davis-Monthan Base
at Tucson, Ariz., did a barrel
roll in the civilian craft.
The plane cartwheeled into
the crowd and practically disin
tegrated, dealing out death, suf
fering and anguish.
“I could see parts of the plane
fly over the cars.” said Father
Edward Dinan, a Catholic priest.
He walked among the dead, de
livering extreme unction to those
of his faith.
There were 13 children among
the dead. Two of them were a
daughter and son of Charles Kel
ler. who also lost his wife in the
tragedy.
“God, it was awful,” Keller
said as if to himself. “It was aw
ful.”
Farmers moved into the mill
ing. stunned crowd with pickup
trucks to evacuate the dead be
fore ambulances arrived.
There are fewer things to see
in a small town than in a big
one, but the things you hear
about small town residents more
than makes up the difference.
