Plane Survivor
Believed In Faith
VANCOUVER, B.C. UP> — Ralph
Flores, the San Bruno, Calif., pilot

lived through the ordeal.
“Through faith, everything is
possible,” he told a Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
youth group Friday night.
Flores, 42, and Helen Klaben, 21,
of Brooklyn, were stranded in the
wild bush country along the Brit
ish Columbia-Yukon Territory bor
der when their plane crashed Feb.
4. Both were injured and had
I little food or survival equipment.
They were rescued March 25 and
hospitalized at Whitehorse. Miss
Klaben has since flown home.
Flores, a member of the Mormon
Church, said of Miss Klaben:
“I felt that as soon as she finish
ed the Bible we would be rescued.
I told her ‘if you want me to see
my children again, please read a
little faster’.”
Mrs. Flores, who flew to White
horse to be with her husband, said
she had faith he would be rescued.

Chester Bowles Named
Ambassador to India
WASHINGTON <*» — President
Kennedy picked Chester Bowles
Saturday to be Ambassador to In
dia, a post he held from 1951 to
1953 during the administration of
President Truman.
Bowles, 62, will replace Ambas
sador John Galbraith, who is re
signing in June to return to Har
vard University.
Bowles is a former Undersec
retary of State who has been serv
ing as Kennedy’s special advisor
on African-Asian and Latin Amer
ican affairs since December 1961.
In announcing his intention to
appoint Bowles, the President said
no American has a deeper under
standing of India and Asia.
“A decade ago he was a pioneer
in creating bonds of understanding
between India and the United
States,” said the President. “To
day India is engaged in a difficult,
long-term struggle to preserve its
independence and its democratic
institutions.
“I am, therefore, delighted that
Mr. Bowles is willing to under
take this assignment. He has been
a devoted, articulate, energetic
public servant at home and abroad
for 20 years.”
Euzkara, the language of the
Basques in Spain and France, is
regarded as the world’s toughest
tongue. It is said no one has ever
thoroughly mastered its eight sep
arate dialects.

Millionaire John Wilson
Stabbed to Death
With Japanese Sword
NASHVILLE, Tenn. UP) — A
millionaire financier and sports
car enthusiast, John B. Wilson, 54,
was stabbed to death with a Ja
panese sword Saturday and police
charged his wife with murder.
The slaying occurred shortly
after the couple returned to their
home in fashionable Belle Meade
from a party.
Mrs. Wilson, 25, mother of three,
was released under $2,500 bond.
She declined to make a statement
to officers, but her attorney John
Hooker, gave this version:
‘'They had been out to a party
and came home about 2 a.m. and
were in the son’s bedroom. He
was talking to the boy and she
admonished her husband about dis
turbing the boy. I
“She had the sword in her hand i
—not with any intent of doing j
any injury to him. He lunged '
toward her and into the sword.” j
Dr. W. J. Core, medical examin
er, said the 36-inch blade pene
trated the victim’s heart.

University of Alaska Will
Launch Flying Laboratory
COLLEGE — A flying labora
tory will be launched this sum
mer by scientists of the Geo
physical Institute of the University
of Alaska. A grant of $50,000 was
presented recently by the National
Science Foundation to finance the
special research program.
The experience will take place
on July 20, when Alaskan skies
will be darkened in some places
by a total solar eclipse. Univer
sity scientists plan to study such
phenomena as “dayglow.” This is
a high altitude light produced by
the action of sunlight' on the
earth’s upper atmosphere. The in
vestigators also plan to look for
daytime aurora, a phenomenum
never directly observed in north
ern skies.
To avoid clouds which may hide
the daytime aurora, and dayglow,
the scientists have arranged to rent
an airplane. It will fly above
cloud-cover through the path of
total eclipse. On board the plane,
instruments will measure the in
tensity of light and photograph the
spectra of light. Operating these
instruments will be a crew of seven
scientists, led by Charles Deehr,
he is in charge of observation at
Ester Dome, a permanent research
site operated by the university.
