they found it in the possession of a

The Navy considered buying a site

that the United States probably

men feared today that 28 persons
were killed when a huge, four
motored bomber plunged through
the fifth floor brick wall Of the Fry

ing gasoline-fed flames through the
building
Twelve bodies had been recovered
from the twisted Wreckage of the
plane and from the blackened rub
BILE of the plants interior Eight of
them were the bodies of the planes
crew members. and four were iden-
titled as those OF packing plant
employees. The bodies of three other
crew members were found near the
plant Their parachutes failed to
open when they leaped from the
faltering plane
Thirteen employees of the Pack
ing company were listed as missing
by the packing house union, which
checked the homes of all workers.
Firemen said their search for the
bodies might take two days because
steel girders of the plants interior
had been twisted by the heat OF
flames and crumpled into ruins. A
mass of debris would have to be
moved, they said. before the bodies
could be eXtricated.
