LONDON, Sept. 5.-The crash and
explosion Of a crippled Royal Air Force
plane in a crowded London subur-
ban street killed at least II per-
sons and injured nearly 80.
Four Of the dead were of the fam
lily of Benjamin Saunders, 43. When
the plane exploded yesterday at the
side of the Saunders home, the flames
trapped his wife. and their sons, Roy,
is, and Derek, 8. Mrs. Saunders
and Derek were burned to death. The
father and boy died in a hospital
during the night.
Next door, the fire trapped and
severely burned six members of the
William Callaghan family. Two sons,
Terence, 2, and Dennis, 13, died. The
condition of the others was critical.
Eight-year-old Jimmy Tant, play
ing in the street, was the first to die
as the plane hit the roof of house
nearby, dropped and struck him, just

she had smiled.
A large, ponderous body, en- route to
women's hosiery, obscured his view ior
a moment. When it had passed ne
saw that the blond had dropped her
pocketbook with disastrous results.
Always quick thinker, Steve
scrambled to the rescue.
"Oh. thank you. Thank you Sc
much!"
Not at all. My pleasure. May !
help you carry some Of those things
home?"
1t was bold stroke. The blond hes
itated. well, if you'd help me with
them to a taxi, I'd appreciate it."
Outside on the curb Steve looked
for a taxi. Suppose" he said, I'VE
pop in and have sody pop while we're
waiting?"
The blond told him her name was
Naomi Force, and he told her his name
was Steve Mann. Neither name
seemed to mean anything to the other,
but Steve figured she was giving her
real rather than her screen name. He
figured she thought he knew who she
was, and 1t annoyed him because he
couldn't place her. The longer he
knew her the more familiar she seemed.
Steve asked her if she wouldn't like
to 60 to hockey game with him some
night, and she said she would. This
pleased him. Thinking about it later
he decided he wasn't in love, but she
was good contact. Any one con-
nected with pictures was good for
Steve. He'd been trying to get part

she thinks I'm tops" Aloud he said:
"Oh. I've been working out at Culver
City" And hoped it wasn't one Of
the studios out there where she had

she jumped in, he ran over and dived
in to rescue her, stopping only to
discard his gun and watch.
A person in the crowd along the
breakwater threw lifering to Officer
Compton and the struggling woman
and the policeman kept her afloat

Mrs. Magee was taken to Emergency
