Mississippi Currents
Hide Bodies in Crash
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
MEMPHIS, Feb. 12.-Swift Mis-
sissippi River currents tonight con-
tinued to battle salvage crews
searching for the bodies of "a oc-
cupants Of an American Airlines
transcontinental plane that plunged
into the water Thursday night.
Shattered pieces of the plane,
some weighing as much as 300
pounds, were dredged up during the
day along with some sacks of mail,
baggage, woman's photograph, a
slipper and a sock.
But no trace was found of the
bodies and veteran rivermen Said
these probably were so mangled in
the crash that some might never
be recovered.
A diver made repeated trips to the
bottom OF the river but the muddy
waters nullified his efforts. Radio
sounding equipment was used by
boats extending their search as far
as 10 miles downstream from the
crash scene.
Salvage includes one Of the en-
gines, large part of the cockpit, a
propeller and numerous sections OF
the fuselage and wings.
Off1cials of the Coast Guard and
United States Engineers said they
planned to stay on the Job until
! the work is done"

il can only do so if it is avail

Science Aids
Blind Doctor
SiehtIess Medieo
Aided by Gauge

NEW YORK-U,H-A sight
less Philadelphia doctors in
ability to read blood pressure
gauges has been solved by an
ingenious instrument devised by
the American Foundation for
the Blind. The instrument, an
adoption of the standard spring
blood pressure measuring de-
vice, was made by j. o. Kleber,
sound engineer of the Founda-
ton, after DR.. Robert B. Irwin,
sightless executive director, had
received request from Prof.
o. H. Perry, chief Of the medical
clinic of the University of Penn
sylvania Hospital. Professor
Perry wrote that he had an ex-
cellent man on his staff who
had become totally blind, put
was carrying on his work in
marvellous fashion," but was
handicapped by inability to read
blood pressures.
Kleber explained how the
standard spring gauge was al
tered to enable the blind physi-
clan TO find the position of the
indicating needle.
This needle is much more
fragile than the hands of an or
binary pocket watch and can
not be touched without damage.
To make it possible to discover
the location of this needle by
touch, a small plastic fiber bris-
tie was cemented to it. This
bristle then was allowed to pro-
ject approximately ene-six-
teenth of an inch through a cir
Gle cut in the plastic crystal
which covers the dial. On this
crystal we have fixed Brail,e
dots to correspond with the
various indications on the dial
of the instrument"
Kleber believes that this
principle could be adapted to
other gauge instruments, enab-
ling the blind to read them with
out interfering with the sensi-
tivity of the instrument.

MEXICO CITY - U.P) - The
Mexican government is cooper
ating with established domestic
airlines and neighboring nations
to promote new air routes and
greater frequency of service
along lines already in operation.
Mexican aviation companies
have developed a training pro-
gram TO prepare their personnel
for jobs along the new routes
and services scheduled for the
postwar period.
In Mexico City, Compania
Mexicana de Aviacion is oper-
ating schools in navigation, met

repairing and night-flying tech
niques. Special classes in Eng
lish also are being taught.
Mexico City's airport, which
at present is taxed to the limit
by approximately 500 passen-
gers boarding and alighting each
day from so daily plane arrivals
and departures, will be expand
ed in the postwar period. Other
new airports will be constructed
by the government and by priv
ate commercial airlines at their
own cost.
Seven new airports have been
built in Mexico during the last
two years. These not only are
commercial airports, but are
strategic units of the Mexican
air defense command.
Tentative commercial airline
schedules for 1948 call for 10
daily flights between New York
and Mexico City. At present,
this is an 18-hour trip which
costs S122. Plans call for trip
of eight hours at charge of SCI.

ON THE MARGIN
By BOB

| Therell be at least one candidate
for the office of state treasurer this
year. George Porter who served fol-
many years as state auditor and fl
nally defeated for reelection by the
present incumbent, has announced
that he intends to seek election as
treasurer of the state this year.
Bill Pilgeram, former member of
the state legislature and speaker of
the house one session is said to be
| toying with the idea of filing for state
office. My agent says he understands
that he might come out for the office
of treasurer or else for the board of
railroad and public service commits
sion. Pilgeram should be strong
contender for any state job He is
widely known in the state through his
service in the legislature and is gen.
orally well thought of. He would like
ly have the support of the liberal
groups in the state, for any office he
might seek.
So far, the governorship race holds
the attention of most of the people.
For time, it was apparently quite
generally assumed that Governor Ford
would have no opposition in the pri-
mary election in his party. Rumors
are now rife that there will be active
opposition. Some prominent republi-
cans have whispered to this chron-
icler that there was a possibility that
Sam Coca might come out as a con-
testant against Ford in the primaries.
Others mentioned are Toomey of Hell
ena and Tom Davis of Butte Either
one of them might make an interest
ing race. Toomey has served in both
the Montana house of representatives
and in the state senate. Tom Davis
has been active in civic club and
served as international president of it
and has quite wide acquaintance in
the state. AS for Sam Coca, it is
pretty generally recognized that he
knows his way around in the political
field and is familiar with all the turns
and bends in the paths.
Attention is beginning to center on
the office of attorney general Har-
rison Freebourn of Butte is said to
be preparing to make the race for
that office, and Stromnes of Great
Falls will more than likely be can
didate. Bottomly, the present incum-
bent by appointment will also make
the race for election. AS it is gen
orally recognized that he has done
and is doing good job in the office,
he should be able to make strong
bid for election to continue in it.
Kelley, president pro tenn of the
senate, has announced that he is a
candidate for reelection to the senate
from Powell county and Homer Whit
more, former secretary of the Cascade
County Trades and Labor assembly
has already announced his candidacy
for election to the state legislature
from Cascade county.
Other rumors reach me from time
to time but many of them have only
the substance of the thinnest of air.
Maybe they'll take on more body later,
and then I'll pass them on to you.
